If there was one thing Cowpaw was expecting today, it would not be Rookscreech covered in blood and .. a red substance, leaning onto Twilightstar. Then again, he never really expected these things. Having been resting in his nest, the medicine cat scrambled to his paws at the sight of the two. Who he hadn't quite realized who they were, only that two of his clanmates needed help. At the sound of Twilightstar's voice, it wouldn't take him long.
The gentle giant rushed forward, attempting to gently remove the molly from Twilightstar's side and place her onto the nest. Once Roseraven was situated comfortably, the medicine cat disappeared into his herb storage. It didn't take him long to locate the cobwebs he needed, grabbing a poppy seed just in case. It was a shame he didn't have any marigold on paw.
Returning, Cowpaw stepped forward and begun to wrap Roseraven's rounds in cobwebs. It didn't take long, and he could only wonder what could make such wounds. He tilted his head to the side, mismatched eyes flickering down to the red substance. It was not blood, too saturated to be so but, whatever could it be? He needed to get it off. His gaze flickered to Twilightstar, wondering if she had the answers.
Cowpaw looked at Aspenstrike with worry, she seemed.. firm in her decision, but even he had his own worries about the subject. Regret was already pooling in his stomach. With a tentative nod, he decided he couldn't go back now. While he did genuinely believe this herb could not make Aspenstrike's wounds worse,, he was not a fan of taking risks. However, if it could prevent further infection, it could be a great benefit to Windclan.
He stepped away, disappearing into his herb storage. It was not long before Cowpaw appeared with a long stem of golden flowers and cobwebs. They appeared to be slightly withered at this point but not enough it would not be able to be used. The gentle giant leaned down and started to chew the flowers into a poultice.
Moving closer to the molly, he started to apply the poultice to her wounds before wrapping it up in cobwebs. "Is.. that alright..? If it starts to feel uncomfortable.. remove it immediately but otherwise.. you should be alright.. just come back in a few days and we can see if it .. has had any benefit.."

Cowtuft lifted his head as a warrior entered into his den. They appeared to have only claw marks on their shoulder, nothing else the tom could spot by a simple glance. He smiled softly, rising up from his nest. He stretched his long limbs with a soft yawn before padding over, wishing to examine .. oh, at the sound of Fallownose's voice it clicked on who this tom was. His smile grew even brighter.
Cowtuft still looked the deputy over before nodding. Luckily, it didn't appear that the claw marks were infected. They were no longer bleeding either, hm, glancing up to Fallownose, he tilted his head to the side. "There.. is not much I can do.. is there any specific bothering you..? As it does not seem to be infected but.. I can wrap it in cobwebs and.. may be able to numb the area if pain is particularly bothering you.." He signed.[

Eyes flickered up to Berrypaw as she took the poppy seed, hesitantly swallowing it. Inquiring about the properties of the seed - hm, now that all the kits were learning herbs, it may be wise to teach the older apprentices who do not know about cobwebs or poppy seeds what they can do also. Cowpaw would not want anyone to not be properly educated.
Heat of embarrassment flashed through his patched pelt as Berrypaw confessed she could not understand him. He licked his lips nervously, thoughts flashing in his head. Ah,, while it was not uncommon for some of his clanmates to be confused, it was always albeit of a conflict when it came to this. Cowpaw shuffled his paws together, averting his gaze from the molly.
Admittedly, Berrypaw was younger than him and also was his cousin so, he did not quite feel... as anxious talking to her verbally. It was mainly a preference. "Poppy.. seeds are for used, uhm,.. pain.. It.. makes,,, you .. sleepy.. you,, will see,, sorry,," His sentence was cut short, ears pulling back slightly. Cowpaw still used signs as he spoke, hoping it would perhaps help in a way.
"I.. was a..asking what had happened.. "]

The medicine cat entered into his den with a soft yawn, his heart still swirling with anxieties about what he had witnessed - experienced at the Starcave. No one knew besides Fallownose and Twilightstar, but he couldn't help but feel as if he was a fraud.
Cowtuft was surprised to see a warrior on a nest, a quizzical expression on their face. Their tongue was rolling out of their mouth and stars, while they seemed to have no physical wounds (none that he could see) nor sickness. They looked to be .. cross-eyed also..?
His tail flickered back and forth, "Uhm.. excuse me .. but are you alright.. did.. did something happen..?" Cowtuft asked.

The medicine cat gently pushed the items in his den about, appearing to be reorganizing his nests around. A worried crease in his brow, thoughts whirling about. Stars above, he thought he would be ecstatic when it came to his full name. He had been wishing for it for moons but here he was - it was.. tainted by that horrible, horrible tom. How could one be so cool?
Cowtuft did not know, nor did he understand. A heavy sigh escaped from him, being interrupted by a soft voice coming from the entrance of his den. A surprised squeak escaped him and he spun around on his paws, staring wide-eyed at a smaller figure. Most likely an apprentice? Ah, he squinted his mismatched eyes. Well, he would put a name to them sooner or later.
With a gentle smile, Cowtuft stepped up to the apprentice, tilting his head to the side. He waved his tail in greeting, curious what they must require from him on this day. He lifted a small paw to gesture towards them, waiting for them to continue with the reason they were in fact here.

A small silent of relief came from Cowpaw. Ah, Tinykit was alright. Good, good. There was always something particularly sad when he had to treat the smaller ones of the clan, it filled him with a relief to know that was not the case today.
His floppy ears perked up at the .. quite more worrying statement. "Of course not.. dear, it is not your fault at any point.. I am awfully sorry about your parents.. do you have any one who is currently fostering you..?" Cowpaw inquired, ears perking up slightly as Tinykit admitted he had never played mossball before.
With a bright smile, "Then let us change that... it can also.. teach you how to feel the vibrations of things.. and hear when things move through the wind.. very useful skill, " Without another word, the tom disappeared into his herb storage and quickly grabbed a mossball from the kit department.
Appearing once again, "Let's go out.. into the clearing now.."

Cowpaw's let out a soft sigh, sympathy wallowing in his heart for the young tom. "At times... I imagine yes.. but.. as I said, there are ways to overcome.. this.. and I am sure you will, you are a strong.. warrior.. Tumblebreath.. If.. that is all, I think.. we are done?? Unless.. if you have any other question.. also.. if you need to talk .. I am always here.."

Right. He was albeit sure that the senior warrior wasn't actually picking up one what he was saying. Though, he had never asked for anymore clarification, so Cowpaw did not think twice about it.
The medicine cat didn't quite understand Batglare's leaving statement, either. It showed on his expression, tilting his head to the left but the corner of his lips quirked up. Perhaps this was simply the tom's way of expressing.. care to Twistedpaw? Ah, Cowpaw could only make small theories but, he was fond of that one. He couldn't be all grr and no play. Everyone had emotions!! (Even,, if,, Batglare definitely looked the part of being intimidating.)
After he had left, Cowpaw turned his attention back onto Twistedpaw. She had been quiet for most of the time they had been here, ears perking up as she proceeded to thank Snowybreeze then him. It put a genuine smile on the splotched tom's face, feeling himself beginning to ease. Right. Twistedpaw would be okay, he would make sure of it. She would learn to grow from Willowsky's cruel teachings.
He stiffened completely at the mention of Fireflame and Brightkit. He lifted his heterochromia eyes to pass an exchanging glance towards Snowybreeze.
Oh Starclan, could you please be gentle to her? She needs all that care about her to heal.
Cowpaw kept silent from the most part, blinking when Twistedpaw asked if there was anything else she should do. It earned a small chuckle from him and he leaned in close, bending down to whisper softly into her ear. "Rest, " before pulling back with a gentle expression. She needed all the sleep she could get. (Hopeful that Snowybreeze had not heard his actual voice as that filled with aniexty.)
Lifting his head, Cowpaw looked back to Snowybreeze who was asking a question. He thought about it for a brief second, eyebrows furrowing together. Twistedpaw was all too tired for him to have a conversation with - he did not want to push her any further and really, she needed a rest from all things ... emotional. So, he nodded his head. "Yes.. that would be divine.. thank you.. Snowybreeze.."

The bengal eyes widened and he nodded along with almost bouncing in his spot, "Yes Yes YES!" he chirped as he started to quiver in excitement at the thought of digging a tunnel. It seemed so exciting and super helpful to be able to help out with digging tunnels!! He would have to go and bother Twilighty soon about this thought.
Dustbunny grinned at the tom's enthusiasm. It was nice to have someone who actually enjoyed the digging and the dirt as she did around. "Okay, well we can use the hole you already dug." Dustbunny meowed, taking a seat in front of Wolfkit's hole. It was super deeper, but a good starting place. "So when your in the tunnels, I was taught to work in pairs. There are a lot of reasons you should have a partner when your digging, but I'll show you what I need you to do as soon as I'm done making sure this is deep enough." Dustbunny told the kit and then got busy digging.
The she-cat wasn't making anything elaborate or particularly big, so the task itself was done rather quickly. The she-cat was used to digging it didn't take long. Every scoop of dirt she hauled out was set beside the pile Wolfkit had already made, eventually, she had to start a second pile as she dug too deep to bother crawling out with a pawful of dirt, so she dug up pawfuls of soil and set it to the side near the tunnel wall. Any stones or rocks she found she gathered and set near the pile of dirt or pressed in crevices. After making sure that the tunnel was a good couple of tail lengths deep, she dug out the opening on the other side of the tunnel, popping out of it with a shake of her pelt. The tunnel was wide enough she could turn around in it, so the kits should be alright.
"Alright, so I'm done digging it out." Dustbunny meowed, padding back over to the tom, hopefully, he wasn't too disappointed that he hadn't gotten to dig. She had a different task she wanted to teach him. "So I need you to go down in the mini tunnel and take the second pile of dirt and spread it along the ground and the walls, press lightly on the walls. It's a simple task but very important. It going to be really dark down there, but since it is a straight tunnel it should not be super scary. Your eyes should adjust to the dark." Dustbunny told the kit wondering if she was giving him too much information at once. "Oh, there are stones down there, try not to bury them, but it's okay if you do."
Stories were not something Berryfrost had accounted her. As a kit, she hadn't wandered towards the Elders' Den much, and when she did, she had been too shy to speak with the elders there. Apprenticeship had been something else, with the nightmarish beginning of Shiningmoon's death, Skyleaf's death and then disappearance, and then... Tawnypaw's disappearance. Heart plunging lower and lower in her chest with sadness, Berryfrost's ears pricked as she recalled Mossdream's call for stories. And... Berryfrost was intrigued. She needed something to clear away this sudden bout of sadness, and hurrying over without a sound, the newly named warrior settled down a little ways off, already small form shrinking in itself slightly as she considered the fact that she may not be wanted here.
Tumblebreath. Please nudge if I haven't responded in 2 days!! He let out a soft whimper, but his muscles began to relax as Cowtuft complimented on his strength. "Thank you, Cowtuft.. umm.. I don't believe I have any more questions.. Thank you for helping...!"
Fallownose lifted his head as a voice spoke next to him and yawned groggily as his eyes adjusted. Oh, it was Basilkit! His heart hurt at the kit's - no - his son's explanation of why he was here, and he shifted over to make room in the nest. "Of course, Basilkit, as long as you're quiet and don't disturb the other warriors," he said softly, moving to curl his tail around Basilkit once they were in the nest.
The queen stared at the two lumps of fur sleeping in the nest below her in amusement. Perhaps it was time they met their grandma and got out of the nursery nowadays. Bending down she gently grabbed the kittens in her mouth before swiftly walking out of the nursery. Long tail swished behind her as she walked through the clearing to arrive at the elders den. Putting her bundle down she called out in a sweet voice as clear and crisp as a bell, mother, mother dearest ive brought some cats to meet you she mewed. Afterwards she nudged the two bundles awake.
Cowkit
Cowkit swatted at the intruding nose that nuzzled him awake and batted it angrily, but to no avail his tiny kitten paw only caught in her soft fur. Puffing a sigh the small kit opened their eyes in defeat and stared blankly at his surroundings. Only after a moment did he realize this was no longer the warm milk smelling nursery that he was used to.
Mothkit
The small kit squealed in dismay as he was nudged awake by his mother. Hey! he squawks! How dare a lowly cat wake me from my dream! he blinked his eyes for a moment to see his mother and he squeaked in surprise. W-where am I?! Cow-bro save meee!
birchwhisker

windclan

Birchwhisker had been tidying up her nest and the area around it, purring gently to herself. Perhaps today she'd seek out her daughter if her duties didn't keep her too occupied to talk to her mother. Hm, yes. That was a good idea. Except that the entire plan was thrown off the second Birchwhisker heard Willowcloud's voice. She looked up with a raspy mrrp, her face breaking into a soft smile at the sight of the white she-cat.
The elder left her work, walking buoyantly over to her daughter. "What now? It's so good to see- oh! Now, who are these sweet little creatures, my sweet tree?" she inquired, lowering her face to give the kits a good sniff. "They smell like you, Willowcloud honey." Birchwhisker looked up in surprise, realizing what that meant. "Are they yours?" she demanded wide-eyed.
Willowcloud purred as she nodded in earnestly. They are indeed mine. A little troublesome when they go out to cause mischief or when they fall asleep but nothing to serious. she reported to her mother in joy. Cowkit looked at the other cat in wonder. Mama who is she? he chirped in confusion. His mind wandered for a bit before he was knocked over by his brother. Isn’t it obvious you rabbit brain! That’s grandma! he barked in joy. Willowcloud began to fret her tail twitching as she hurried to move mothkit off of cowkit. Mothkit! What have I said about jumping on cowkit like that? You know he’s frail! mothkit rolled his eyes before strolling up to birch whisker his large blue eyes like orbs as he stared at her. Cowkit pushed himself off of the round and shook his messy fur before shooting a glare at mothkit. He turned his gaze and politely dipped his head in greetings.
