sleepy eyes squinted at the intruder, brain working overtime to attempt to recognize her. nothing clicked, but cobwebstorm (!!!) knew that she'd been a clan cat. maybe another medicine cat. she watched as the cat set two stalks of some herb she didn't know on the ground, and with a glance at berries, she knew that the younger herbalist didn't know what it was either. too much danger lay in those two innocent-looking stalks, and meeting owlstar's (!!!) gaze, she dipped her head. we won't take it, her nod said.

berries' familiar warmth next to her calmed cobwebstorm's racing heart a bit, and she pressed against her best friend and no-longer-mentor, meeting her eyes. a simple nod to berryshine signified it had gone well, and that i will tell you later oh my goodness we have so much to talk about. the feelings about the cave were shared, and cobwebstorm wanted nothing more but to Get Out Of There. and also away from the scary shadow lady, because what if she was still here??? they couldn't see her.

cobwebstorm followed berryshine out of the starcave, fur ruffling as they darted out. her breath came ragged, and she looked a little sick with fear and some strange mixture of surprise and pride. the air was slightly less cool up here and outside of the eerie series of tunnels and caves, and even the slight warmth was welcome. catching her breath, cobwebstorm managed to speak, eyes darting over berryshine and owlstar. ' i- i'm fine. it- it went well- it happened. i- i'm- cobwebstorm. ' the word sounded foreign in her mouth, the taste of it sharp and soft all at the same time. ' beeblaze.. old windclan.. i think, medicine cat, gave it to me. he- uh, he was the first starclan dream i ever had, way back wh-when i was cobwebpaw. '

the medic paused, breathing deep, eyes welling with unwelcome tears. ' we- we should get back as soon as possible. hold a meetin', let the clan know everythin's gonna be okay. they have us, we're gonna be fi-fine. ' she pressed against berryshine, fear and the exhaustion of the day all hitting her at once. cobwebstorm's head swum, dizzy, and she managed two more sentences before falling silent. ' i don't think she wanted to hurt us. but you were right, it was a risk to take that stuff, and i th-think we did the right thing. '
