She giggled some before pouncing on Thornkit with no warning.

Soon their kits would be born, the finest in all of the clans in his opinion. “How have you been feeling?” The tom inquired, trying not to be overly protective of Amberfall, but still constantly worrying about her.

Amberfall's gaze lit up when she saw her beloved enter the clearing with a really nice piece of prey. Her muzzle twisted into a smile when he headed over, purring. "Oh, I was wondering where you were." She nuzzled Talonfeather back before eyeing the thrush. "This looks great! Amazing catch, dear," she complimented cheerfully, leaning down to take a bite of the prey. "I'm feeling really good. Nervous, but excited."

"This is golden rod, it'll help soothe the pain and prevent any infection," she informed the kit as she began to chew on the herb. She smiled slightly. It warmed her heart a little to see a kit with a true fascination for herbs. It wasn't something she saw everyday for sure. She had never been interested in herbs herself, but she kinda hoped her future apprentice chose this path for themselves. At first, she had actually hated being a medicine cat. So much responsibility to her Clan, and it wasn't something she picked up immediately like others might. It took a lot of hard work and dedication to get to where she was today. "Okay, I'm going to pull it out now. Then I'll lick this golden rob on and patch it up with some cobwebs, okay? Then you'll be good to go," she said. She bent down and took hold of the thorn with her teeth, preparing to pull.

Aquilexkit gritted her teeth, waiting for the pain as the thorn would get yanked from her pad. In order to distract herself from it, she looked around the den. She then looked at Tallmarsh. "You're a really neat cat, Tallmarsh," she mewed softly. "I don't understand, everyone seems...so on edge around you. You're so nice." Her small tail curled, though she was definitely bigger than she had been a few moons ago as she was only a moon away from her apprentice ceremony. She flattened her ears a bit self-consciously. "Anyone who trains under you would be really lucky."

The black-and-white feline, though exhausted and still healing from the dog fights, decided she should take a stop by then medicine den. And not to rest or get healed. Well, maybe so a certain dark tabby could check her wounds in case of infection, but not just for that. She was there to just see the adorable medicine cat.
“Snowflake! You doing anything important?” Cherrybubble pushed her way into the den, her more muscular frame making it a little harder for her to squeeze in. Bright green eyes searched the surrounding area for Tallmarsh, the warrior’s Tail-tip flicking back and forth ever so slightly. “Flintspirit finally let me have some down time from patrols, so I came to say hello.” She say down, casually licking a paw and rubbing it over her head as she waited for Tallmarsh to come out into the open. “And maybe you might want to check my dog bites, just in case.” She let out a laughing purr, tilting her head to get her other ear. “That is, if you really do care about me Snow.”

A familiar scent accompanied with an equally memorable voice floated into Tallmarsh's den, snapping her out of her thoughts and back to reality. Her mind had drifted off while cleaning the nests at the back of her den. She stood there, not really staring at the moss-lined nest as she replayed in her mind for the hundredth time the events of the battle barely two moons ago. Two moons. Had it only been that long? It felt like a lifetime and a half to the medicine cat. Her entire life had flipped on its head. She barely left her den or spoke to her Clanmates--not that they wanted anything to do with her after what she'd done to their leader. So she had resigned to finding anything she could do around her den. She had reorganized her herb store, cleaned the nests, cleared the dirt, and even decorated with some well-placed stones near the entrance. Anything to prevent her from reliving the battle again. She was thankful when a voice came through her den to pull her back to reality, and then she was all but elated when she turned and recognized the black and white molly before her. "S-Sparky! Hey..." she said, stumbling over her words. Her eyes--well, eye was wide with shock. She hadn't seen Sparky since before the battle. She had just assumed that she just wanted nothing to do with the medicine cat, like most of the Clan. She couldn't hide the tired expression that she always seemed to have nowadays. But her relief at learning that at least one cat in her life still wanted to be around her was visible in how her breath hitched at the sight of the she-cat, how her whole body seemed to relax just a little, how the faintest smile played on her maw, and how the empty look in her eyes faded just a little, making way for just a little hope. She took a few steps towards Cherrybubble, but stopped in her tracks when she mentioned injuries. "Well. why'd you have to go and get bitten? Didn't I just patch you up?" she said, attempting at a snappy but joking tone. Her expression however betrayed her worry. How many times is she going to get herself hurt? It crossed Tallmarsh's mind that maybe she kept getting hurt so she had an excuse to visit her. But no, that could never be it. She's just reckless...

Who would have known that ThunderClan's camp could be located under a rock? Shiverpetal wouldn't have guessed, that was for sure. But turning over pebbles in the riverbed had somehow landed him here, where he was looking around in relaxed curiosity at a camp that seemed so similar to his own in RiverClan. It was a little more enclosed than he was accustomed to with its undergrowth and oppressive trees, but he could get used to this: the nature itself was impressive, extensive foliage covering nearly everything. The cats were pleasant as well, and Shiverpetal gave out little greetings like candy toward everyone that looked in his direction. Tail swishing behind him in slow sweeps, he settled into a sunny spot in preparation for a deserved nap.

"Mumph!" Thornkit grunted and the she-kit pounced on him without warning. He kicked up with his hind leg to try and get Perchkit off, "Heavy..." He grunted under the weight.

Perchkit fell off and hit the ground laughing, she knew fighting wasn’t fun for warriors, but she wasn’t a warrior.

Thornkit triumphantly stood up and shook the dust out of his fur when ginger kit suddenly had an amazing idea. She prodded Perchkit as she laughed, "Hey, hey! Let's go hunting for bugs!" He mewed jumping up and down in excitement.

Perchkit smiled,” Sure! Though I’d rather hunt squirrel!” She meowed following Thornkit closely excited to hunt for bugs.”
