Peachfrost will be teaching the kits their basic herbs this time around!
---
Keeping a watchful eye over her would be apprentice from afar, the former medicine cat had noticed he had his paws full lately. Leaf-bare brought sickness and famine... and a lot of cats for one spotted giant to care for. It wouldn't hurt for her to teach some of the kits basic herbs for a change would it?
Peachfrost had nabbed the basic herbs from Cowpaw's storage and set them out neatly before her large paws. Cobwebs bundled up on a brown stick and a poppy flower bursting with seeds. It was a little awkward for her to be dealing with this kind of stuff again, but she would manage. Besides... these kits were just adorable!
Whenever Brightkit, Tinykit, Breezekit, Basilkit and Creekkit were ready the large molly would begin her explanation.

Cowpaw's gaze flickered towards one of the warriors who spoke, his eyes lighting up - this was.. Batglare he believed? By the sound of his voice and scent, he could only assume. A bit of an intimidating fella, but a respectful warrior! "Mm.. a day or two at most - nothing appears to be severe.. but as long as she is careful, there.. should be no worry... " He gestured, he expected really only a day but, Twistedpaw appeared to be albeit rattled, rightfully so, and one required both a restful mind and body to learn! (Hehe, maybe he should start putting that into his herb classes. Kids these days needed to learn the importance of mental and physical health.) Cowpaw's attention was quickly returned back to his patient after responding to Batglare.
Stars, he had already known how .. well, when he had first met her, she was already filled anxieties to the brim but now it was overflowing. She didn't understand it all, and that was what broke him the most. He wondered if she still felt as if she was in the wrong. Goodness gracious, Cowpaw wanted to... wanted to.. !! AA!! Give Willowsky a piece of his little ol' MIND! What a cruel, cruel molly, he did not like her. Did not like her one bit. No, gee, she was birth from the Dark Forest herself. Luckily, he kept these thoughts to himself.
Torn away from his thoughts once again, Cowpaw let out an embarrassed squeak. Right. He.. should have known to be more specific. He gave a nod of confirmation, his smile faltering as Twistedpaw broke out into a script of apologies. It confirmed his previous thought, his eyes softening with empathy for the small apprentice. His paws itched to move forward to comfort her, offer something but, no. Really, it would just make things worse. It did settle his idea in his mind, yet.
Cowpaw rose to his paws, waiting for Twistedpaw to eat the poppy seed, he turned to Snowybreeze and Batglare. First his gaze shifted to the white tom - brown patch on the right side of his face - "Correct,.. thank you,.. " Cowpaw confirmed, then he looked to Batglare and then Snowybreeze once more. "I will be having her... stay a night in here. " He didn't offer a specific reason despite the fact her wounds didn't call for a stay. Though, he wanted to offer her a quiet place to .. rest. Being moved to a completely new den was scary and if, if she wanted to, Cowpaw wanted to talk about things.
"You may.. leave now, if you wish.. Not ah, saying you have to, of course, just, " He shrugged his shoulders to finish his signing, turning back to Twistedpaw. Good to convey this to her as well. He wasn't.. entirely sure, so, he moved towards a nest and after giving the moss a nice fluff and a knead, patted it softly to attempt to grab her attention - nodding and nodding. Lots of nodding involved, he really was attempting to point at the nest. (..he was doin' his best. )

⌦ .｡.:*☆ @vampy @~ moonwatcher x Qibli ~|| so uh, you are completely correct. it genuinely slipped my mind they had already gone over poppy flowers - ;; i think my mind mixed this up with other kit classes so at last, forgive me but !! this rp is officially complete pretty much, thank u two for ur patience
As Cowpaw had begun to speak, it started to slowly sink back in that .. o, oh. He.. he had actually ... said this.. already. After he had finished his repeated explanation, there was a good brief of silence where he complected his life existence. His life choices, truly letting this moment sink in and become of those embarrassing thoughts that keeps you up at night or in other terms, simply resurfaces to remind you how horrible and embarrassing of a moment it was. Cowpaw wondered if he was better off as a warrior. Surely. Surely he did not make this mistake. No, no, indeed he had.
Ooh, pepperdoodle. A darn tumbleflunk. A giddy ol' flufferpuck. Golly.
Sometimes he was stupid.
"...Erm.." He laughed nervously, this only made the situation more awkward. "Now.. onto what.. not to eat..!!" If he did not mention it, it did not happen. (It happened. Oh Starclan, why did it happen?) "While.. there are things that are obvious.. do not eat something.. if it is inedible.. such as rocks.. sand .. or shiny, not.. very nice to vomit it up, you see. Very bad for your stomach, also.. also, please do not eat any plants you do not.. know the use of.. always ask me to ensure.. they are safe .. specific bugs, also, may be very bad for you..! Some types of spiders, bees, definitely not bees, caterpillars, and most definitely.. not fireflies.. may be shiny, but very toxic.. " He was still stuck on his mistake.
Shaking his head, Cowpaw tried to push forward.
"Now.. this isn't entirely just involves eating it, but involves touching it also... It is called poison ivy .. it has three leves, one on each sides.. and one in the center... very shiny and smooth... notched edges.. when it comes in contact with you.. you will get a rash and have to experience intense itching... very non-pleasant... " He shuddered at the thought of contacting that! No thank you!
"Finally.. this one I have only heard of... which loops back to why.. you should not eat plants if you do not know what they do... A type of berry we call deathberries.. are extremely toxic.. and will lead to your death within minutes... and if you do eat these, I do not.. currently know how to treat its poison so please.. be careful.."
With a heavy sigh, Cowpaw smiled at his finishing lesson. They were done, finally, after ages. "And.. with that... this lesson is dismissed...! Thank you for.. coming..!"

Cowpaw let out a soft sigh, ah. Was he alright? Hmm .. he's had worse days! He did believe in always answering honestly but, he wasn't.. really not-okay? Huh. He shrugged his shoulders, laying his head on his large paws. "Mmhm, not sad...! Perhaps a bit frustrated, but I am.. okay... sometimes days are simply like this.." Cowpaw replied, "and that is okay.. you just have to acknowledge your.. emotions and see what you can do to remedy them.." Right. Lead by example.
Abruptly, the splotched medicine cat stood to his paws. "Hmm! I think.. my remedy will be.. going outside of my den.. would you like to play mossball..? If.. " Ack, wait. Reel back, this little one may have an actual concern. "If.. there isn't a concern.. you are seeking me out for..?" Cowpaw prompted gently, blinking as the tom trailed off to offer his.. listening..?
Oh, he did not like that degrading talk..! Frowning, he tilted his head to the side. "While I.. appreciate the offer.. truly, you are very sweet, but .. you do not need to worry about me, dear, and in all honesty - older cats should not put their worries on younger cats.. and I do promise, I do not mean that in a demeaning way.. your age does not make you less capable of.. but there are certain responsibilities .. y'all shouldn't carry.. does that make sense..?" He asked, nodding firmly.
Leaning down to.. oh! Sniff, this was Tinykit, "Now.. I do have one thing to say.. you are not a lost cause.. No one is. Your disability does.. not make you any less.. and if is anyone is saying that.. I will give them an earful, alrighty..? Rid that negative thought from your mind.. some of the strongest warriors.. in our clan are disabled.. don't mean nothing.. promise.." And then a pause, "..Has anyone been telling you this?"
Goodness gracious, so help Starclan if they had another Willowsky on their paws...

⌦ .｡.:*☆ @Alchemist Kitsune || hehe yes yes of course !
Cowpaw wasn't sure what he had felt when Lightningkit seemed to decline his offer to help. He decided to label his emotions all as one label, content. At the end of the day, he had helped. Even if just a little, he appeared to have taken a weight off Lightningkit's shoulders. A win was a win, there were no little or big wins, there were simply wins. He was fine with that.
He had to hold himself back by replying to the announcement of her tiredness with an, ahem, hello tired - i'm cowpaw! As tempting as it was, .. he would spare her from his joke. For now. He always had more, lurking. Cowpaw smiled, eyes soft and shining with warmth, and to his surprise - he was gently .. booped. Blink blonk.
A genuine laugh escaped from him, coming from the depths of his belly. "Purrhaps, " He confessed, mm. Stars, was it truly written all over his face? Eep. He was never one good at the whole uh, cover your emotions, grrr, mysterious act some of his clanmates could pull off. (Batglare)
"Yes.. yes, I shall.. I shall.." The tom responded, standing to his own large paws. His nest was calling to him.
As the molly returned, making a playful statement, Cowpaw offered a blep of his tongue. "So have I..!" He returned the sentiment, giggling at the sudden burst of a yawn. Naturally, he could not help but then yawn too. Darn yawns. Contagious, they were indeed! With a tilt of his head, "Goodnight.. Lightningkit, " he offered, bidding her adieu, returning the slow blink.
Once she turned away, he waddled over to his own nest - lumbering down for a nice slumber. What an inquisitive, sweet bundle of fluff.

Cowpaw's gaze softened with sympathy. "Well... there are grounding techniques.. I suggest.. when you feel.. a burst of ah.. these emotions, to begin to count the things around you.. label the things you see... the things you smell.. the things you hear... and if that is all too much, count your breaths... One and two... In and out.. realize the emotions you are feeling.. will pass.." He explained, "But.. as for your final answer.. I do not know... it can lessen... and become easier to manage.. but I do not believe there is a cure.. not a definitive one.. anxiety is not always lifelong.. it is just.." A pause. "Varies.. that only time will tell.."

Cowpaw had been saying that ah, it's been awfully peaceful in Windclan. He must have jinxed himself because to his surprise, an apprentice came waddling into his den, the scent of crimson heavy in the air. His eyes softened, lifting his head from where he had been laying. Ah, he knew who this was. Berrypaw.
Cowpaw rose to his paws, his tail waving in greeting. He stepped forward, peering curiously at her front left leg. Ouch. Were those.. talon markings? He looked up to Berrypaw with concern, well, it wasn't anything severe - thank the stars for that! Pulling away, he ducked into his herb storage and grabbed a pawful of cobwebs and a poppy seed for good measure.
Returning, Cowpaw pat a nearby nest - gesturing for Berrypaw to come closer. If she did, he would wrap her wound in cobwebs and then offer the poppy seed to her. Looking back up and with a tilt of his head, "You.. should be all good... but what.. happened?" He questioned.

After Lightningkit's request, when the sun had rose once more, Cowpaw set off to Juniper's Rest. Perhaps he could have simply lied and say he had gone, saving himself the cold trip but, while no one else would know, the stars and himself would know. In the end, that was the thing that mattered the most. Cowpaw had made a promise, he would never dream to break.
A soft and tired yawn came from the splotched medicine cat as he found Featherfoot's grave, sitting down in front of it, he set down a pinecone he had collected on his way. "Hello... I have a message for you.. I know you must be listening.. somewhere.. out there, Lightningkit came for me.. She is sorry she was late, but she made good on her promise. She did not mean the things she told you, and... " A soft chuckle escapes from Cowpaw, "I am sure you know that already.. she's a lovely kit, isn't she?" He mewed, his smile faltering.
"..I hope you are hunting well in Starclan.. I.. I did ... I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't save you.. but I hope you are living your best life in the stars, Featherfoot, " He touched his forehead to the snow, closing his eyes. Best wishes.
The gentle giant would sit there in silence, letting the peace settle. Paying his respects before he would return quietly into camp, snow dappling his pelt but .. a look of content on his face.

( @x ghostie ) Tumblebreath. Please nudge me if I haven't responded in two days!! He thought about this for a second, closing his eyes.
"Well... will it get in the way of my warrior duties...? He frowned a bit, thinking of the patrol with Milkypaw and Pinestrike. 'Wait, is it Milkypaw or Milkpaw..? Shouldn't I be able to remember this?' He sighed at his own thoughts.
"i'm glad then that your ok. i only came in because i was curious about Medicine cats." Tinykit meowed "no ones been telling me i'm a lost cause.... it's just that my parents aren't around anymore, and i feel like it might be my fault" Tinykit tilted his head "moos ball sounds fun, i've never tried it before, being blind, but it sounds fun"

Creekkit plundered into the area, landing on her small face. "I made it! Am I here on time?!" She asked, begininning to try to groom her dusted and now dirty pelt.
