He'd heard his name, and somethin about a hunting challenge? He didn't quite understant, but he'd had a job to do and he guessed he'd do it. Walking towards his group he started his wait. If someone had spoken to him, he didn't hear it. Not because he was ignoring, it was just because his head hurt.

Dad was on the other team with his two siblings. Go figure, and he was still here with his newer mentor...why he'd been changed to this one, he sorta understood. But. He disliked it. He was planning on trying hard, still was. He apparently had a reputation to uphold, or so his sister kept saying. He didn't understand the social cues to well...but he'd try of course. He didn't want to let dad down.

"Hunting competition? Whoever catches the most?" it finally clicked in his head. Oh. Oh he'd beat dad, that would be hilarious. A smile bloomed on the calico's maw as he thought about how funny it would be do beat the deputy of TunderClan. The all mighty blood God said no one ever. A nickname he'd come up with, would anybody use it? Of course not, calling yourself a nickname was pretty stupid and pretty awful to hear...almost like you licked a lemon and your face sinks in on itself.

He understood. It hurt. It did. He didn't miss the look Mudhound dropped towards, their deflation. Truthfully, he felt awful. But you don't get better by wallowing in your anguish and sadness. You don't do better by avoiding the problem that made you fall down. You look at it, you bark at it, hiss at it, tackle it, bite it. Anything rather than look away.

He knew it was, rude. He himself didn't want to go back, to smell the stench of the sick and the rotting. But he himself needed a step forwards and he was too...he was too scared to do it alone. Something he'd never admit. He hated bringing Mantispaw back to that forsaken place. But. He needed his kits with him. Something he never thought he'd ever think. But they've grown on him like barnacles truthfully.

"Once Butterflypaw gets here we'll head that way. I'm wantin to go slow though, make sure the territory is lookin good and all that." an excuse. "So really there's no rush, I'm thinkin at least." he tacked on at the end.

He'd caught a potential hair of the leader after he'd turned to look around for her. Hoping to spot her outside her den. Believing it was her, Spiderthroat called out. "BUMBLESTAR." ( @dino. ) a bellow. He'd make sure it was her first before doin anything. If she'd walk towards him, or yell at him (anything to get his attention back) he'd explain why exactly both medicine cats were coming with him. It was intentional.

"Maybe we can grab some plants or flowers, if they're sproutin, along the way. Just in case?" another thought through idea. If the duo of males and Mudhound didn't wish to pick flowers (Mudhound's mood should perk up, especially with two tiny apprentices) than he knew his girls would. More often than not the brats enjoyed covering him in petals. It brought him a sense of warmth he couldn't explain.

With the slow pace he planned on taking. He didn't expect to win that hunting game. As much as his competitive streak was screaming at him to win, he knew that this attempt at helping. At healing. Was more important. He was never good with emotions, much less expressing them. But this, acts of service, he could do. This was him trying to show that he cared for them. All of them. Even if it didn't make sense to them, as long as it helped, that's all the deputy could care for.

His kids were making him a softie.
