Deciding to ignore the second time Shinefang had got his name wrong, Morningdust looked back towards his own paw as the medicine cat pointed out its swollen state. "So, it's not broken." He repeated Shinefang's words quietly to himself. Noticing he had pulled his paw away, he quickly held it out once more for Shinefang to apply the poultice. While waiting, he took a good look at the medicine cat's face. He hadn't really had many chances to see him considering he'd only ever come in the medicine den when he was an apprentice to do things like replacing the bedding, but even so, he'd still never seen the tom's mangled ears and scarred muzzle up close. He hesitated for a moment to ask about the scars knowing some cats earned their scars in fights they'd rather not speak of, including himself, but his curiosity eventually got the best of him. "Forgive me if I sound rude, but how'd you get all those scars? I thought medicine cats don't generally enter actual fights." After asking, his gaze instinctively returned to his wounded paw. He turned his head slightly so his good eye could see it, as he wasn't exactly enjoying holding out his wounded paw on his blind side. |

Though Shinefang may have waved his tail rather close to the warriors face, Morningdust took no notice of it. The tail had swung past his duller looking, blind eye, and was completely out of sight of his good eye. He continued to stare forward at his paw. The moment Shinefang had finished tending to his paw, he placed it onto the ground, and his face turned forward once more. "So I'll be able to return to my normal duties in four days, right?" The younger cat groaned and turned his head to the ground with a furrowed brow. "That's annoying." He commented mostly speaking to himself. |

The long-haired tom shook his goop cover paw without a second thought finding that the sticky residue that now covered it was quite annoying. He felt the urge to lick his paw clean, but he knew better than to bother Shinefang any further than he had already. His paws shook a bit as he heaved himself off the ground without the use of his hurt paw, but it took no time at all for them to return to their normal steady state as they became used to the imbalance. He stood in his place for a moment as he thought through his next course of actions, and his eyes wandered as if they were fixed on something far away. Well, I can't hunt... Or patrol... Or really anything useful... Freetime was something Morningdust frankly wasn't very used to. He never gave himself much time to rest other than to sleep and eat, but that was how he enjoyed life. He hated to just lay about in the sun and do nothing. He wanted to be helpful in some way. While he thought through the idea of just ignoring his orders and going off to hunt anyway, his brain told him that the idea was foolish. Now, he was left with no real ideas, or so he thought. When his eyes scanned over Shinefang and his work, an idea popped into his head. "Is there any work you need to be done that I could help you with Shinefang? I'd hate to waste away in the warrior's den for the next four days, so really if you need anything done I can do it." |

The younger warrior watched over Shinefang's shoulder as the older cat quickly broke through the stem all the while forcing himself to take careful note of the state of the useable flowers contrasted to that of the unusable ones. Once Shinefang has presumably finished his instructions, Morningdust sat down in front of the pile of old flowers. The tip of his tail began to flick about in contentment that he was no longer be examined, and rather actually doing something useful as he carefully proceeded to claw the stem in half. He tried his best, but the stem he had cut was rather messy looking compared to that of Shinefang's. "Hm, you made it look easy." What he said was a complaint, but he spoke in a rather delighted voice as he proceeded to test the flower that came off the stem. It had been a while since he'd done anything that was challenging. Lately, all he had really done was hunting since he'd been trying so hard to avoid getting caught up in any patrol fights. Cutting the stem may not have been horribly challenging, but it did bring its own interest. He pressed his paw on the flower, but as soon as he had put any type weight on it, it crumbled away much like the one Shinefang had shown him just before. "Wow, these flowers are old." His nose hovered about the remains of the flower as he gave a curious sniff, before turning back to Shinefang. "Just out of curiosity, what are these used for?" |

Morningdust continued through the pile of tansy diligently. As he went along, the stems progressively became cleaner cut, but he still couldn't seem to get it to resemble the one Shinefang had cut earlier. Only around one-third of the flowers still held enough vigor to keep themselves from crushing under his paw, but he didn't take much notice of this since he was mainly focused on cutting the stems right. While he worked, he glanced over to Shinefang for a moment to see him take one of the berries and put it into his mouth. He became curious if whether the berries where just for taste, or they held some healing abilities like the many other herbs in the den. His mouth opened slightly as he hesitated to ask, but it eventually closed due to him deciding against it. Shinefang seemed to be busy with organizing other herbs, so his questions would only get in the way for both himself and the medicine cat. The pile of cut stems slowly began to increase while he worked through the old tansies, and it wasn't too long before the pile of tansies was almost completely replaced by a pile of stems and a smaller pile of flowers. The majority of the stems in the pile were rough and a bit jagged looking, but towards the top of the pile, the stems seemed to become smoother and cleaner cut. He still had a few more to go, but it seemed that he had gotten the hang of cutting them, more or less. |
