CLOUDPAW
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
➣ Hearing Sunstone’s suggestions, along with the obvious nervousness in his tone, nearly made the fluffy black-and-white apprentice laugh. He choked it back however, knowing if he did, then all the herbs in his mouth would surely go everywhere. Although, Cloudpaw had to admit that there was just something really amusing to him about someone being concerned for his well-being. But now was not the time for such things. They needed to get these herbs back to Marigoldleap so they could be stocking up Fawnpaw’s herb storage. Cloudpaw hoped it would bring a smile to the brown dappled molly’s face to see her den in prime condition once she found her way back home. The large curly-furred youth nodded silently to the patrol leader’s words, letting Sunstone know that he was, in fact, listening and not being disrespectful by any means. What's done was done.
Turning to look over at Beestream once the golden-furred warrior waved her over, Cloudpaw watched as his two clanmates harvested the last of the marigold flowers in a careful way as to not damage the plant. Perhaps he could at least grab one, or maybe two, to go along with the stalks of thyme. Moments later, the RiverClan apprentice’s short ears perked up to the she-cat’s question, regarding the taste of thyme. It took Cloudpaw a short bit to search for the right words to describe it.
“Mmm… sharp…like if the smell of the ocean.” He mumbled to Beestream through the leaves that stuck out of his mouth. Once that was said, he would step forward and snip a couple of marigold flowers along with their stems with his front claws. Cloudpaw shoved the other herbs in his mouth, feeling rather successful with his haul on this particular patrol. Looking to Sunstone and Beestream once more, the large RiverClan apprentice did a little jump before taking off back to camp, eager to put the thyme and marigold in his best friend’s storage for future use.
"Don't worry, Fawnpaw, I'm helping!" He thought, heart pounding.
