Hooking his claws under the borage he'd only recently collected earlier that morning, returning after the sun had reached its highest point in the sky. He forces it towards her, flicking his ears back. "What do you think this is?"

Lusk informs, upper lip curling in disgust at the thought of queens. His tokophobia churns his gut, all the more reason why he doesn't often tend to kittings. "Also brings down fever. They cease growing in leafbare -- of utmost importance to stock up while we can. They're no good after they wilt, so a word of advice...keep them under the frost, they stay good for longer."

His mind raced. Lilith with kits? My kits for that matter... This is not how I pictured this... he thought and looked around. The smell of herbs filled his nose, and he wrinkled his nose slightly. He finally caught the sight of Lilith, and padded up to her. "Good Evening, Lilith." he meowed, and say on his haunches. "I was wondering if I could get my shoulder patched and have a chat with you..." he said. A cut lined his right shoulder, but it was nothing like the scar that lined his left.

Originally Posted by Tiny Moony (Post 95471) "Oh, yes I know." Onyx replied, and gave a small smile. "You know, I saw Bleddyn today... in the Dark Forest. He told me something..." he started, and looked at her. "First he said that he was going to use Chiaki against us... and second..." he paused, his eyes softening. "He said that you were with kits..." he said after a few moments. He had no anger, no resentment. He saw how much a kit changed his own brother, how could he be mad? He wasn't like Bleddyn, who only wanted kits so he had a legacy. The Oriental's blue orbs were softened, his pupils wide. If Bleddyn was right, then he had to know, because his kin would be the first thing Bleddyn would use against him. He didn't want that. Bleddyn was wrong about one thing. That Lilith would never recover from the things he did. Onyx had been by her side through every melt down, every fight and everything she needed him for. She was already doing well, though some scars never fade.

"...Are you accusing my daughter of being a traitor? She's like your best friend- he's trying to pit you against her, I'm sure." Lillith insisted, her eyes narrowing as her own mate tried to accuse her daughter of a crime she knew Chiaki would never commit, just because she loved her family too much to ever side with a liar like Bleddyn. "And I- I'm not with kits. He's trying to trick you, and I'm honestly surprised that you would listen to his words and not think about how much he lied when he was alive, when he betrayed almost everyone he talked to!" She wasn't sure about her own health- she wasn't certain, and so she'd deny the fact. It was how the molly worked, never trying to admit that it was possible, that she could be with kits and wouldn't even know about it.

Originally Posted by Tiny Moony (Post 107105) "Truth or not, it's a possibility.you have been showing signs of something." He said, some weird calmness to his voice. Now this was serious. "Lilith, this is a serious matter. If you're with kits, you know the first thing he's going to go after? Them. Do you want another issue with that back stabbing fool? You have already gone so far, it will kill your mind. You know I'm an empath. You have some worry in you.fear that I might be right." his voice had some kind of desperation. "I'm not Bleddyn. I won't leave you like he did. I won't run off for another. I won't grow angry at your snappy tongue. That's what makes you, you. He never saw that. I trust you, Lilith. Can I say the same about you?"

Pastelle padded inside, dragging her paws along the firmly-packed soil of the ground. The healer's den was not very spacious, yet not cramped either. The many crevices of the den were filled with a various amount of herbs, giving off an earthy smell. The tortoiseshell's first instinct was to back away and retreat back into the clearing- who knows that kind of plants are in here, that could seriously mess up my life? but she didn't want to be known as weak for not entering a mere den.

"Shadow, you should heal him now." She said, as if the procedure was a magic trick. Her eyes were focused on Shadow and Slash alone; no other cats could captivate her attention, and the aroma of herbs and freshly-picked plants would be dizzying if she focused on it for too long.

"Eat these," She sorted threw more herbs. "Borage leaves would maybe work, Feverfew would be best, I don't know how borage would effect him." She grabbed some Feverfew out of a small pile, and nudged them to Slash. Shadow chewed up the marigold and placed it on the wound, and rapped it in the cobwebs. Once she was done, she sat back to look at her work. "Stay here for a few days so I can see how its working. Pastelle, could you go get him a mouse or something? He needs to eat." She said with a final mew/\.

"Infected wound," he grunted. "Never should've tried to fight any cat in the first place." @Broken Shadow He flinched as pain pulsed through him again and moaned, his breathing more like short sharp gasps of pain.

Originally Posted by Broken Shadows (Post 119757) "What cat?" Ash asked pricking her ears. She fluffed out her short gray fur as a gust of wind blew through the den.

Originally Posted by FoxyFanGirl (Post 120147) "Doesn't matter," Slash grunted, then added quietly, "Never should've tried to kill any cat either." He moaned again, more out of shame and despair than pain. "I've made so many cats unhappy. I attacked Zia, I killed Pastelle's mother, I-I killed so many cats!" He glanced at his paws. "I'm trying not to kill anymore, but it's so HARD. Something is telling me to... but I don't want to listen..." He spilled out all his secrets and despairs to Ash, keeping his eyes on his paws, not wanting to look up to see her expression.

Originally Posted by Moonfur (Post 120431) Shadow pressed her muzzle into Slashes fur, "Don't worry, its were you grew up. I had my.." She looked over at Ash and cleared her throat. "Run-ins if you could say," She mewed. Shadow looked down a The toms bedding, she messed around with it, pushing more moss over to Slash's body. "Ash, you are here because...?" She asked, not looking back at Ash. Shadow sat down and groomed her fur, witch was growing very dull. Her blue eyes gazed at her paw, witch she licked and swiped over her ear.

Pastelle nodded when Shadow ordered her to get some prey. It was so strange, taking orders from an inferior. She almost was tempted to retaliate back, but what was the point? She’d probably do the same if Slash asked her to, and he most likely did need some prey for his empty stomach.
--
By the time she came back, with energized legs and a limp skinny squirrel hanging from her jaws, the molly scented another she-cat staying close to the bunch. Under further inspection, Pastelle realized what her name was, and that she was Shadow’s friend, or companion healer, or something of the sort. Ash. What a common, run-of-the-mill name. The tortoiseshell dropped the squirrel in front of Slash and listened to the other molly’s comment. Isn’t the transfer from a healer to a fighter nearly impossible though? Assuming that Ash is a healer. Because being a healer is so lesser in rank, and it’d take time to move up.

And then another cat spoke up- Aldrin, someone that she’d seen at some point in her life. What was he doing in the healer’s den? Was he getting healed too? Or was he just musing around for the fun of it? Pastelle had little to do with the fighter, so she decided to ignore him for the time being. In fact, she was just sitting and peering around from cat to cat.

Originally Posted by Moonfur (Post 120956) "No, finish it, you need your strength." Shadow mewed pushing it back to Slash. "You don't want to get any worse then you are now." She gently picked up a bundle of leafs and set them aside. Carefully, she pulled another pile over and sorted it out. "Ash, you may want to move your nest out, since your not training anymore." She mumbled. Shadow pawed more leafs away, and layed in her nest. "And also since you have forgotten your place in The Dusk Syndicate," Shadow mewed.

Pastelle shrugged at Slash’s comment, since it had nothing much to do with her, but she’d rather not let the piece of prey go to waste- especially one in the midst of leaf-bare. Many rodents would be hibernating by this point, in their winter-long slumber. Others probably traveled to a more suitable habitat. But that poor, unfortunate squirrel did neither, and it was now prey. Perfect for keeping other cats alive. It shouldn’t be so quickly discarded. And plus, she spent effort to go out into the chilly forest- but it wasn’t as if she liked the healer’s den that much better.

“I’ll eat it if you don’t change your mind.” The molly said to Slash as an afterthought, looking down at the half-eaten carcass. Her whiskers then twitched as her head swiveled towards Shadow, with a new question approaching her mind. “How long would the healing be?”

"Five days at the most, in two the fever should clear up and the wound should heal soon after. If it doesn't then Ill have to stuff slash with feverfew and poppy seeds. The only problem with that is winter is here and the herbs are withering away. I need some other cat to help me get all the herbs I can." Shadow streached her back, "I'm so tired, I feel like I'm older then I actually am these days..hehe.." The healer sighed, walking over to the herb store. She pawed the leafs into place, then grabbed a few contend and added them to slash's poorly dressed wound. "But I'm a healer, it would be almost impossible for me to get a hunter or a fighter to come with me. They would be best, since that new clan came near." Shadow shook her pelt and looked over at Slash and Pastelle.

Originally Posted by FoxyFanGirl (Post 124799) "I'll come," Slash grunted. "I'm not so injured that I can't help my savior in herb gathering. I mean, how dangerous can it be? All you do is pick leaves." He stood, gritting his teeth and looking at Shadow. I've never been this injured in my entire life! I've always escaped from fights with only a scrape. But now I've been injured and it won't heal, and Shadow is taking care of me. The least I can do is help her look for herbs. Most of the DS is mean to the medicine cat, but that doesn't mean I have to. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go get some leaves so you can get your store stocked up for leaf-bare."

She wheezed desperately, trying to catch enough air for the next breath.
