Fennelpaw's weight brought the thin branch to snap, causing him to loose his balance and fall a rabbit-hop from Lynxfang. "We did it." he mumbled, his face buried in the snow.

Flamepaw sniffed the trails then lifted his head up. " they smell weird. why do they make trails for walking on? there's perfectly good walking grass all around us." He meowed as he looked around.

Cloudmist nodded, "I strongly agree, but I guess twolegs just don't like grass, maybe that's why they cut it with small mosnter like things." She meowed, pointing out.

Soraflight trotted down the path, scouring for herbs to collect. She spotted a shelf of marigold next to the den and trotted towards the twoleg nest.

Ravenpaw followed after Soraflight a bit annoyed at the site of the twoleg nest but still silent until he stopped next to the older medicine cat. "So what did you say we needed to collect?" He asked.

"Marigold, and comfrey if you can find it." she mewed, "Uh, marigold looks like this." she placed her paw on the golden blooms, "And comfrey is a purple flower with a sort of round shape."

"No problem! I'm not really a fighter, so having someone who knows how to fight in these dangerous time near me is safer anyhow." she mewed, carefully plucking the marigold.

"Yes, but as you said before times are dangerous, so I try to help as much as I can. It's also a matter of self pride but in a lesser degree than just wanting to help." Ravenpaw mewed as he picked another marigold.

"I see your point but if you do get attacked by a hawk, if you kill it it makes a very nice addition to the freshkill pile." Ravenpaw chuckled than mewed. "Is this comfrey?" As he brought her the purple herb.

Blanche padded over the somewhat cold ground, looking around for something fun to do. She glanced around when she scented the tinge of something. Probaly just a bird or something... She turned away from it and tried to ignore the feeling.

Littlelily padded along the Twoleg trails. She smelt twolegs but they havent been here in a while. She sat down at the edge of the path and sighed. She needed to get her head into game. There would be a fight soon.

Blanche could see something not that far up ahead. It was white and looked a bit like a cat but she couldn't quite see from the angle. She let out a quiet hiss, dropping into a crouch and stalking towards the shape. It didn't seem to scent her but she couldn't be sure. She leaped towards it but landed short.

Blanche nodded and shifted her paws slightly. " Wow. That's a beautiful name. Say, since they accepted you in their clan...Do you think they'd let someone like me join? The cats there sound nice from what you've said about them and my life is pretty boring." She lowered her head to avoid Littlelily's gaze.
