Sleepysunrise
[ 14 moons | She / Her | Shc Medicine Cat | Shadow Fiend ]

Her almost happily erratic mood had calmed since leaving the medicine cat's den and sending Rockjaw on his errand, but it remained clear that the young medic had something chipper about her, something energised. And new sort of energy coursing through her veins, teeth chewing on her lip and only stopping once she halted outside the leader's den. She swallowed down a bit of a nervous giggle, ears flicking and paws still a little shaky from that tumultuous dream. Admittedly it was visible that her night had been restless, and yet all these thoughts were running through her brain. She took a steadying few breaths.

"Miss Grandmama, may I enter?"
She called from outside, tone surprisingly level as she spoke, a stark contrast to what it had been minutes ago. She awaited permission from inside before dipping her head and entering or being met outside by the leader - she had noticed her doing such with some visitors - but was largely used to being able to enter, and expected today to be no different.

She had given her fur a quick few licks just before entering, then blinked against the dim light of the den. She regarded her grandmother for a few seconds, head dipping respectfully before she dared speak.
"I would like your permission to wander the outskirts. On occasion."
She stated calmly, straight to the point and a hopeful look in her eyes. She waited a second before elaborating.
"I have learned from... The dead;"
Hah, heh, dead.
"But there is much more to learn. I wish to explore for more varied herbs, and put them to test on a few outsiders. Beyond the few who agree to it when joining the clan. I believe it would be beneficial to my studies."
She paused briefly, a thought striking her.
"I don't intend to use the herbs from within our storage. Only those gathered with an unknown use, or collected the day of."

She failed to mention her recent dream with the creature that had taken her mama, the reason for her restless night and, to its credit, the reason why she stood here. It seemed something had clicked between their last meeting and her now wakeful state, new ideas come to mind and the will to put them in action. Either way, Sleepysunrise was eager to push her studies forth in the less orthodox manner that was running experiments on the unsuspecting few, and her grandmother's blessing is all she truly needed for it. Hopefully, she would agree.
