The frosty tom was getting rather bored of the she-cats throwing insults back and forth. Any other feline might be intrigued by their sniping words, but Talonstone only saw it as a pointless bother. They'd been at it for the entire trip. It was only his high level of patience and disaster tolerance that stopped him from storming off in exasperation at the two mollies constant bickering. That, plus the fact that bad things might happen if he accidentally upset them. These were two of the most dangerous cats in the clan of shadows, and the reasons as to why weren't actually that different between them. They were both capable of harming him outside of a proper, claw-to-flesh battle. Should they ever face off in a proper fight, though, the white-furred warrior was fairly confident that he could win. The tom attempted to distance himself from the bickering lest he accidentally begin rooting for one side over the other. It was difficult when they were being so loud. The trees were close together in this overgrown area of the pine forest, and noises bounced back and forth, amplified as the echoed off of the bark of the trees. If it came down to it, most likely he would side with Doetuft, but he would much rather stay neutral during their verbal war. Stop denying? Denying what? Talonstone's mind uselessly supplied a possible and likely answer, judging from those earlier comments that Irisflame had made about his and a certain tabby molly's relationship. Guardians, why was it necessary for a medicine cat to know about their clanmates love life? This was what he had to put up with on most days. It made him wonder why Irisflame had chosen him and Doetuft out of all cats to go herb-hunting with her. It might've been because they already had experience with the activity, or maybe the medicine cat just wanted to make fun of them. It came to mind that all three of them were ex-thundercats, but the warrior didn't see what that had anything to do with this. Chervil? What on the earth was that? The frosty tom glanced at where Irisflame had been looking to, then froze as she called him out.
Nothing wouldn't be an appropriate answer, disappointingly enough.
"No," he meowed in response to Doetuft's question.
"There is something... similar to cobweb, but doesn't appear to be made from spider silk," Talonstone explained, tail pointing at the tree he had seen it on.
"It is hanging from the lower branches of a tree, not far ahead of us," the tom added, mostly for Doetuft's benefit. Hopefully he had explained well enough for the sightless cat.
