ThunderClan Medicine Cat's Den

[Hestia!]

Mousekit almost hit one of the walls after having tripped in sea's own paws, after making sure everything was ok, sea continued to play.

Sourpaw’s sudden movement frightened her a little bit, but she stayed put–not wanting to jostle Sparrowfur. Lifting her head, her green eyes widened ever so slightly when she realized that Sparrowfur was awake. Definitely exhausted, which was to be expected and not her fault at all–but awake nonetheless. A sigh of relief escaped her, but she didn’t move from her spot, keeping the cobwebs in place.

While a few words were exchanged between the three, her gaze drifted across Sparrowfur’s body. Still more work to be done–they needed more marigolds, as well as cobwebs, too. Opening her mouth, she was about to request that Yarrowcrest go and quickly fetch some for them, y’know, give him a rough description of marigold flowers, but–hey, now that she was getting a good look at Sparrowfur without the threat of death hanging over their shoulders, she noticed something. If she didn’t know any better, she’d assume that she had just been eating very well lately–but of course Drizzlecloud knew better than that.

With a thoughtful hum, Drizzlecloud lifted one of her paws–still using the other to keep the cobweb from before in place–and she gently pressed it to Sparrowfur’s tummy. With a tilt of her head and a much more meaningful hum, she returned her paw to where it had been before.

Y’know, maybe she should have been more thoughtful, all things considered. Sparrowfur almost died, after all… But alas. Instead, without another thought, she blurted, “Oh, you didn’t tell us that she was pregnant. Congratulations, by the way, but I wish we could’ve known sooner.”

There was a pause.

“...Unless you weren’t aware either, then in that case–you’re having kits!”

Ah, and just like that, there was light at the end of the tunnel. Their herb storage was… severely lacking. A lot of old, no good herbs had to be cleared out recently, and they were left with… Just a few marigold flowers. Not even a single poppy flower–desolate of cobwebs, even. It was pretty rough.

“Roaringcoast, what a saving grace you are!” She trilled when they had entered, springing up from where she had been sitting–brooding, wailing incessantly within the walls of her own mind. “Okay, do you see those yellow flowers over there? They’re all we have right now, and I’d like some more of those… And poppy flowers, too! Red flowers with little black seeds, you should be able to find both of those by Firefly Cove. Additionally, ah… Cobwebs, if you could.”

Sparrowfur's vision has finally calmed. She no longer feels like she needs to puke, thank the stars. She barely notices Yarrowcrests jealous glance but manages to catch it in the corner of her eye. She gives him what she hopes is a reassuring gaze and opens her mouth to speak.

“Oh, you didn’t tell us that she was pregnant. Congratulations, by the way, but I wish we could’ve known sooner.”

Sparrowfur whips her head around, gazing at Drizzlecloud in awe. Her jaw goes slack. Her? Kits! Starclan she was going to have kits! Sparrowfur feels an exasperated laugh escape her. She turns to Yarrowcrest with a wide smile.

"Were...were having kits.." she says, as if she couldn't believe it. "Were having kits!"

Did... Did he hear that right? There was no way Drizzlecloud just said they were having kits, right? She was talking to someone else? With a quick glance around the space, he realizes there's no one else she could possibly be talking to. And when Sparrowfur perks up and begins to exclaim excitedly... He knows it's real. For what feels like the first time in quite a while Sparrowfur looks at him with the warmth of the entire sun in her gaze and he can't help but smile back at her. Sure it had been unexpected but it wasn't like he didn't want to be a father. Whether or not he was ready was a different story but it's not like he had much a choice now!

Weaving his way over to his mate, he bumps his forehead into hers gently, throat thrumming loudly with his purring. Was he supposed to say something? He should probably say something. How could one say something with nothing to say?! Still too shocked, still processing, he stays in his spot with a wide smile on his face.

Kits... They were having kits..!

SilverKit Coughed, Padding Into The Den. "I Think I Swallowed A Leaf. And It Hurts...."

[Hestia!]

Mousekit loafed there looking bored, still waiting for the medicine cat patiently.

SilverKit Looked At MouseKit, Trotting Over To her. "What Are You In Here For?" He Mewed, Coughing Violently And Turning His Head Trying Not To Get The She Sick.

Something just wasn't. . . right. His stomach was cramping hard, his vision was spinning, and his legs seemed to buckle under him easily if he wasn't careful. The large tom made it to just outside the medicine den when that happened. His paw seemed to buckle under him causing him to collapse in a pile of fluff. "Drizzlecloud-" the tom called out as loud as he could muster. He merely hoped her or Springpaw could hear him.

As he waited, he couldn't focus on the den entrance anymore, it was just spinning right back out of focus. A small groan left his body as a cramp took over his abdomen. He couldn't wish this on his worst enemy.

Chaos. That was a simple word to describe how everything was going inside of the medicine den at the moment. One moment it was silent, then chaotic the next. It had only seemed to rise up in prosperity all because of cats growing ill from the poison that seemed to grow wherever it touches. Firstly, they dealt with foxes and a recent battle, now this? Their herb storages couldn’t take much more of cats becoming either crucially sick or injured by simply eating up poisonous prey. Stars, how did the poison even get to ThunderClan in the first place? Of course, after Drizzlecloud and her had a chance of having momentarily peace from healing up warriors and apprentices from the last charade of fiascos, this poison shows up and now the den is suddenly all crowded again due to many multitudes of warriors and apprentices. Plus, there was an occasional kit or so to add to the mess.

It was undeniably stressful, but they’ll get through it; they always do. The last few times they’ve done something like this it was just as stressful if not worse! How could this one be just as horrible? Well… Bumblestar had shown them those poisonous flowers that seemed to be relatively located around Cattail Pond, which was alternatively off-limits due to the dangers of cats catching this poison from just stepping close in contact with these flowers. Springpaw was certain that the good clump of those flowers was stuffed away where they were out of reach from cats of all ages… except the medicine cats, of course. The herbs were meant to be mainly known by them and nobody else. Well, they last thought didn’t seem awfully consistent to think about when cats will probably need to know the herb when they go out for patrols so that they don’t risk running into it at any sudden moment's notice. That would just be a big problem.

It didn’t take long for the medic duo’s next pair to come strolling into the den, the calico shooting her head up as she watched the pair sluggishly stroll into the den, her sensitive nose quickly picking up the acrid stench of illness as her tongue felt like it had been suddenly tied up to a knot at the back of her throat. These two bore some sort of familiarity to her, at least the younger one did. Springpaw had seen Poppykit only a few days ago within the medicine den when she had to give her that cure for her sniffles. Was that the reason they were here? Did it come back? Or… was it the poison? Whatever it was, Springpaw could feel the questions immensely pounding within her brain as she trudged closely behind Drizzlecloud, eying the weakened state of the duo and feeling her lips curl back into a frown.

They both looked… absolutely horrible, to say the least. Especially Eveningdance, who was looking much sicker than anyone Springpaw had ever seen to say the least. Had he come down with the poison too? Pursing her lips, the calico silently glanced from one feline to another, and could feel her stomach churning as it whirled around messily. Judging from their appearances and expressions, her assumptions could easily be correct, and they both needed help from both of the medicine cats before they were free to leave. “Could… it be… from… the poison?…” Springpaw rasped, raising her voice to an approximate tone in order for her mentor to hear, briefly focusing her gaze on her before she continued speaking. It was the poison, she wasn’t all time certain if they had enough herbs in the storage for this particular case!
