@Rabbiteye @Breezestarfire
Cowpaw tilted his head to the side, looking quizzically at Rabbiteye as the warrior explained what had happened. The Starcave? He couldn't wrap his head around why the tom would need to go there but, he supposed it must have been for guidance. A private matter. His tail twitched with curiosity, "Why..? If - if you don't ..mind me asking... just .." Cowpaw chewed worriedly on his bottom lip, turning away from Rabbiteye and looking to Scalepaw. The apprentice seemed rather quiet, but he supposed it could be from shock.
"I.. believe.. you should tell Fallownose... of what happened.. but.. Scalepaw.. you will have to stay in here, apologies.. I am unsure how.. your leg.. will heal.. you may have a limp.. so I will have to .. supervise..." Cowpaw explained, using simple gestures to explain himself. He decided to not add on how it may worse than a limp. ..

@Shade.
The medicine cat sat back to listen to Turtlepaw intently, nodding along to what his friend said. Cowpaw was a bit confused, and it seemed like the apprentice was also. He wasn't sure if this was a situation where attempting to process what had happened would be helpful. He paused when Turtlepaw finished, voice slightly muffled by the cobwebs.
"Well.." Cowpaw shifted the weight from his right leg to his left leg. "There is no.. need to .. apologize.. I'm here for a reason..! Just uhm,, are.. you alright..? That sounds.. awfully frightening." Brief flashes of memory flood by him. He had done a similar action, but it was less of trying to find someone and more trying to find himself. He hadn't been aware of .. the border and..
Cowpaw swallowed nervously, shaking his head to clear his thoughts. He was here now. It's okay! "I'm.. sorry that happened.. no one has a right to.. attack you .. when you are doing nothing but.. searching for your loved.. ones.. Perhaps.. we can talk to Fallownose or.. Twilightstar and make a search party to search... for them?" He suggested, it could give them an attempt to look for any other missing clanmates.

@FlowerBoy
Cowpaw tried to stifle a giggle at Marigoldkit's curiosity. "I.. won't.. do not worry.." He reassured, smiling fondly at him. "..Well.. yes..? I do.. suppose that is true..! Some are old.. some may be the same age as you.. it is where we all go.. it is life.." He explained, doing the best to his abilities to not frighten the young one because there are at times death can be frightening. Even if you know what lies beyond, but it is still a part of life. One that shall be cherished just as much as the birth of a new life.
Cowpaw perked up when Marigoldkit inquired about his herbs. Oh! Yes! He could most definitely answer these questions. With a happy yip, the tom turned away from him and disappeared for a moment. It didn't take long before he came out with well.. hehe, marigold! How hilariously funny, indeed!
This time he couldn't help but giggle as he laid the marigold down in front of him. "I do...! Well, I do come out.. less than I wish to.. but nonetheless.. They are .. normal plants but .. the difference is some have.. healing properties... and some do not.. Still amazing either way.." Cowpaw nodded, his tail wrapping around himself.
"This is.. marigold.. It is used to treat infection and.. is what you are named after.." He explained.

|| @AshCloud67 || wasn't sure what else to reply with, sorry !
Cowpaw shuffled his paws around, uhm.. he wasn't sure what to do now. Usually, the kits would lead the conservation. It was a particularly lazy day, it was actually cleaning day, but he didn't want to leave Ashkit unsupervised in his den. Then again, as long as she wasn't in his storage there wasn't much trouble she could cause? "Well.. alrighty then..! I am.. going to tidy up.." Cowpaw explained, figuring Ashkit would grow bored and leave. With a shrug of his shoulders, he began to straighten up the nests. Putting them in order, he would have to collect more flowers now that they had begun to wither but for now, he put them in a pile.

@Beetlenose @Ms. Cow
Cowpaw's stomach sank when he saw a kit laying across the floor and covered in blood. He quickly grabbed his marigold and cobwebs, approaching the two with a panicked haste. He put a name to them - Maplekit and Cloudykit. With a quick glance he surveyed over Maplekit. She seemed fine, thank stars. On the other hand, Cloudykit had a very prominent slash over his eye. The scent of .. fox was attached to him. Did they truly have a fox issue? Cowpaw shook his head, questions later.
He used cobwebs to dab the blood way as gently as he could. Then taking a marigold, he began to chew it up into a smooth poultice. He made a gesture for Cloudykit to close his eye. It seemed like the kit was slipping in and out of conscious. He would hold off on offering a poppy seed - was too risky. Cowpaw put the poultice over Cloudykit's wounded eye before wrapping it in cobweb. A shaky sigh escaped from him, pulled back.
Cowpaw looked to Maplekit with worry, it didn't seem like Cloudykit would be able to answer any questions.. "Are.. are you alright..? Are you hurt.. anywhere..? What - .. what happened..?"

@poppy. || i hope u enjoy the secret name ref hehe
So, so many kits. There were so many kits in his den. Cowpaw had no idea why because when they came in it was either for a conservation or an injury and .. it was difficult to treat cats younger than him. None of them have been dire. Yet. It was .. fine because, because at least Cowpaw was helping.
He smiled softly as another kit came into his den, his heart striking up in pace, but he could smell no blood. No infection. Which only confused him prior when .. he squinted his eyes at the small one, they - they needed help.
Cowpaw approached them, "Hello.. little.. poppy.. I can help..! Just, what is it that.. you require?"
<<━━━ ✧♡(◕‿◕✿)━━━━━━━>>
@Rainee "No.. no! You're.. perfectly fine, yes.. uhm.. " How could he explain to a kit that Cowpaw was a bit confused on what he was doing? That was not something someone would want their medicine cat to say! Hmmrgh. "Uhm.. how about your .. eyes..? I understand.. that you .. lack sight but.. have they been .. watery.. recently..? Any pus.. or, oh! Have you been coughing.. recently.. running nose..?" Now he was just listening off signs of being sick. "..Struggle breathing..?"
<<━━━ ✧♡(◕‿◕✿)━━━━━━━>>
@Unfairyfied
Anytime someone made a point to introduce themself to Cowpaw even if realistically he should know who they are was something he was wholeheartedly grateful for. The oversized tom always struggled to pick out who was who. He .. he knew who they were. He remembered them but when the time come, he could never put a name to an appearance. Cowpaw had thought an outsider was his clanmate!
In short, Cowpaw was grateful for Dappledfern. He ducked his head out of the storage, blinking owlishly at the warrior. Oh! Sent by Twilightstar? He smiled, disappearing back into the storage to put away the herbs he had been reorganizing. Popping back out, he approached her.
He waved his feathery tail in greeting, his nose twitching. Hmm, alrighty then!! "Hello.. hello..! Pleasure to.. meet you properly.. what would it be .. that you need..? Or just stopping for a .. visit?" Cowpaw questioned.

@Rabbiteye @x ghostie
Redspeckle didn't care about Laurelpaw anymore, it was time xe moved away. Laurelpaw wasn't a very kind cat, he needed to tell Twilightstar this right away.
Tulippaw watched Twilightstar closely. She tried to be discreet, not wanting to seem improper, but the signs were still there. Her ears were pricked toward the lilac-gray leader, and there was a spark of excitement in her vivid green eyes. She was also leaning forward slightly, but when she noticed this, quickly fixed her posture so that she was standing up straight again. You need to look proper and mature, not act like a kit! the apprentice silently scolded herself. However, who could blame her for being excited? She wanted to see how Twilightstar reacted to her being so mature! Tulippaw might only be seven moons old, but she knew that she was the most mature and proper apprentice, perhaps even cat, in the entire Clan. And she was definitely the most beautiful. There was no denying that. Who could resist such a perfect calico pelt, with her wonderful black-and-orange splotches forming an irresistible design, and her pelt so sleek that claws would slide over it in battle?
Tulippaw let those thoughts of how wonderful she was float around her head as she focused on Twilightstar. At first, the she-cat nodded, which meant that she understood. Good. Who wouldn't understand such a simple question? Then the leader's single eye betrayed something that Tulippaw thought was annoyance. Her guess was confirmed when the fluffy leader let out a long, annoyed sigh. Tulippaw tensed, wondering who the leader was annoyed at - Sorrelhawk or her - surely it was Sorrelhawk! But before she got time to really think about it, the leader confirmed that she was, indeed, annoyed at Sorrelhawk. At least, that was what was implied by what she said. In a gentle voice, she told Tulippaw how glad she was that she had come to her about this very important matter, and promised her a new mentor at the next meeting.
Any tension that was in Tulippaw disappeared. She could see the respect and pride shining in her leader's single green eye. Her leader was proud and respectful of her! As she should be. Every cat should feel that way toward Tulippaw. The young apprentice puffed out her white-furred chest, beaming at Twilightstar. "Thank you so much," she purred, giving a respectful dip of her head. Why did only leaders get addressed like that? Tulippaw should be getting gestures like that, too. "I'm glad that I'm getting a new mentor. After all, I want to be the best WindClan warrior that I can be!" Her voice was perky and sweet. With that, Tulippaw took one step back, then paused. Their conversation should be done, but just in case Twilightstar wanted to say anything else, she hesitated. "Am I dismissed?" she asked. Maybe the leader had more praise for Tulippaw?
Tulippaw seemed eager to impress, or look older than she actually was. Twilightstar's seen the desire to be more than what you appeared from a few apprentices. It could be cute in a certain manner, but could also cause problems. Even so, Twilightstar didn't bother taking back the compliment not even as she noticed Tulipaw's mind wander. Tulippaw seemed overly pleased with herself, not that self-satisfaction should be something bad. However, something about the apprentice reminded her of a young beauty who was passed well before her time. Though a devoted, loyal warrior of WindClan, her vain and shallow outlook on life made it difficult for Twilightstar to get along with her.
"No, that's all." The slender lilac meowed with a dismissive flicker of her whiskers, allowing the young apprentice to depart. Twilightstar would have to put in a bit of extra thought into who should take over Tulippaw's training. She seemed like such a sweet, slightly arrogant she-cat. If her views on her appearance had been as staggering as Rosebriar's, she'd be better living the life of a pampered kittypet than a grueling, yet rewarding life of a warrior.
Twilightstar came to meet him at the mouth of her den, and he could feel her gaze go over the blood over his shoulders. "It's not mine." He assured her, and would have continued but felt he needed to start from the beginning. So he took her invitation and followed her inside, sitting down in front of her and doing his best to keep the slight exhaustion from showing too much.
"I had just gone for a walk, maybe hunt a little and have some peace to think, but I smelled blood when I got closer to the outskirts. I found her body there." he mewed, referring to Cottonwish who he had mentioned earlier. "It was covered in rogue scent, and she was bleeding out. She was already dead when I found her, but it hadn't been all that long." Now to the part that made him almost sick.
"We were placed on a border patrol together under a moon ago, so I vaguely remembered her scent, but I wouldn't have been able to recognize her otherwise. Now, this fight could have been started by Cottonwish - maybe a trespasser she challenged - but what makes me worry is the fact that her... Whoever had fought her had... decapitated her." His voice died out as the sight flashed before him. His paw running down her neck, but that ending in a bloody mess where the head should have been.
He took a subtle breath in through his nose and shook his fur a little - gathering himself before we spoke again. "I carried her body away from there - hence the blood - but I have yet to bury her. I was planning to do it after reporting. I don't think the rest of the clan should be present when it's placed in the ground due to the condition it's in," He didn't want anyone else to be subject to seeing all that - even warriors shouldn't need to see that unless necessary. "but they could come and pay their respects afterward."
A troubling scowled pulled at the leader's maw as Owlglide relayed his story. What started off as a relaxing trip seemingly turned into a nightmare for Owlglide. Her ears pinned themselves against her head after learning about Cottonwish's death. A brutal death at that. Twilightstar allowed her tail to lash back and forth in mounting frustration as she wondered how in the same of StarClan had Cottonwish gotten decapitated. Was it something that was going to continue happening? StarClan this was mess. Swallowing the conflicting guilt and sorrow at the lost of another warrior so soon after losing two of their clanmates, she got to her paws as Owlflight spoke of bringing Cottonwish back to bury her.
"I'll go with you." Twilightstar suggeted, eying Owlglide as she noticed the small signs of an exhausted cat dealing with a lot. She figured he could use a paw, Twilightstar knew for certain that she wouldn't want to deal with something like this alone. "I don't mind helping you bury her and I'd like to see the place she died myself." If nothing more than to put her mind at ease. Perhaps there was something Owlglide had missed in his shock that would tell her if she was dealing with a crazy loner or rogue, or some weird predatory, like a fox or a badger. Twilightstar would have to tell the clan something, and although she could avoid telling them that she their clanmate had been decapitated, Twilightstar felt it would be safer for everyone if they had their guards up. Twilightstar waited to see if Owlglide had any reason to refuse.
Dustbunny padded back into the clearing, feeling a little apprehensive about giving her report to Fallownose. Not that the deputy was all that intimidating, but both he and Twilightstar scared her. The brown she-cat swished her tail nervously behind her and trembled slightly as she located the deputy. "Um, F-Fallownose, I'm done with the patrol to RiverClan's border." The molly took in a deep breath and let it out through her nose as she gathered her thoughts. "I l-l-l-lost Maplecloud, d-d-don't know where she w-went. S-s-s-s-sorry" Phew! That was literally the worst of the patrol.
"Sandpaw can with me though. She was a great help, even noticed that RiverClan scent marks were stale." Dustbunny perked up as she went into how their patrol went. "The border was quiet otherwise, we did find a huge turtle(tortoise), Sandpaw wanted to eat it." The molly laughed warmly at the thought. "But everything else went alright."

Rabbitbriar
◖ Female[she/her] - Newly made warrior ◗
Feeling like she was talking to herself she looked around to see that Laurelpaw was not there. There wasn't even any trace of her at all. Rabbitbriar's ears fell flat. She wasn't angry or upset she was more feeling abandoned once again. It was a feeling she had felt since her mother kicked her out. The old thoughts she once had was coming back. Was she really where she belonged? Sometimes she didn't feel like she was. Not wanting to disappoint her clan the molly finished the patrol with a hunters crouch at the scent of a vole. She moved forward before pouncing. She killed it with a swift bite. With Rabbitbriar's ears flat she headed back to camp with whatever she had caught. She really didn't feel like hunting anymore.

◖ Female[she/her] - Newly made warrior ◗
The young warrior padded into camp and over to the deputy with her lonely vole she had caught alone. She really didn't want Laurelpaw to get in trouble, but she was afraid she had to let Fallownose know she didn't follow behind. Rabbitbriar still felt abandoned and she hated the feeling, but she just had to push past it. She placed the vole at her feet. "I'm here to report back. I managed to catch a vole and had no sign of any adders there, but I do know their there. Laurelpaw showed up at first, but didn't follow me there.", Rabbitnriar meowed.

Right after learning about the territory the apprentice padded towards his assigned den. It hadn't been too hard today, but he was still nervous around his new clanmates. Soon he'd be comfortable with them, but after all he's gone through it made him anxious around Windclan. Bugpaw heard a voice and lowered himself to the ground. Maybe if he hid they wouldn't find him. His eyes focused on the cat who said his name, recognizing them. The apprentice got up and moved over to her. His body shivered like it normally did around any cat, his clan or not.
"Hey Martenpaw.", he meowed in his usual low and quiet voice.
