Resting in the brook- Kaylen

[Tigersong]

Featherstar sat down in the brook. The cool water soothed her aching paws and she sighed happily. The tortie looked around, and watched the minnows swim around in a few shallow pools. With her paw, she nudged a stone and created a tiny waterfall leading to one of the minnow pools. She saw one of the small minnows swim farther down the brook. You're free to travel as you wish. She thought. She pawed at a leaf on one of the stones near the edge.

[-- Kaylen --]

Pokerpaw's mentor had insisted they needed more herbs and what they said goes. She cracked her mouth while searching for the scent of burdrock root but it seemed hard to find concidering it was winter. Sighing in defeat she spotted her leader dipping her head respectively and padding up to her, "Hello Featherstar, lovely day don't you agree?" Mewed the little tortishell politely.

[Tigersong]

Featherstar looked up at Pokerpaw. She dipped her head at the apprentice. "Indeed it is." The leader mewed. "What brings you out here?" She quired. The tortie smiled warmly.

[-- Kaylen --]

"My mentor insists that I find some burdock root..We're running low," Replied Pokerpaw as she smiled kindly at her leader. "You haven't seen any by any chance have you?" Asked Pokerpaw hopefully, eyes glowing to her little hearts content.

[Tigersong]

"No, I have not. I wish that I would have though, every herb matters in this season." Featherstar mewed. Her yellow eyes settled on the young tortishell after looking at the brook.

[-- Kaylen --]

"Yes mam' that is very true, we need to be sure we keep as many warriors as we can through leaf-bare..Theres no telling when one of the clans could attack. Especially Leafclan I've heard the populations grown," Reported Pokerpaw. For a seven moon apprentice she was pretty wise and smart.

[Tigersong]

"I hope Skystar thinks better of attacking us during this season." Featherstar replied. She flicked her tail from side to side. She kneaded the stones beneath her and looked at the apprentice.

[-- Kaylen --]

Pokerpaw nodded her agreement. "Perhaps she'll have a heart," Suggest Pokerpaw.

[Tigersong]

"Perhaps. Or maybe she'll have common sense. Neither of us can waist any of our warriors." Featherstar cocked her head to the side in thought. "Perhaps Nobleheart will advise her better of it." She added.

[-- Kaylen --]

Pokerpaw gave a nod, "He seems like a reasonable tom when I met him at the gatherings," She mewed as she gave a pebble a small flick with her tail which grimly landed in the water.

[Tigersong]

"I hope he lives up to all he seems to be." Featherstar mewed. "So, how have you been Pokerpaw?" She asked.

[-- Kaylen --]

"I've been fine, thank you," Replied Pokerpaw. "Cold weather sure is getting to me though, never have liked it," She mewed as she gave her black and orange pelt a few licks.

[Tigersong]

"Ah yes, my winter coat is still thickening, so I'm still a bit chilly." Featherstar shivered. She stood up and took a few steps back from Pokerpaw. She shook out her pelt, then padded back to the apprentice. "Much better." She sighed.

[-- Kaylen --]

Even thought Pokerpaw's fur was short sure but still fluffy from her kit hood.

[Tigersong]

Featherstar smiled. "It is rather chilly in the water don't you think? Let's go sit on the bank." She suggested.

[-- Kaylen --]

With a nod Pokerpaw slipped out of the paw high water and onto the sandy bank.

[Tigersong]

Featherstar padded up to the sandy bank and sat down. She rested her tail on her paws and flicked her ears.

[-- Kaylen --]

"Seems our luck is changing, I've had no recent visions from Starclan," Started Pokerpaw with a curt smile.

[Tigersong]

"Nor have I. But it could either be good or bad, it depends on our interpretation of their wisdom." Featherstar asked. She mewed.

[-- Kaylen --]

Pokerpaw nodded in agreement as she listened respectfully.

[Tigersong]

"What are your thoughts on the matters we have discussed just now?" Featherstar asked curiously.

[-- Kaylen --]

"Of Starclam Ma'am?" Mewed Pokerpaw as she calmly held her leaders gaze, "I honestly see it is a good sign, no prophecy no problems...We wont have to live in fear to see what Starclan will bring to us each day," Explained Pokerpaw.

[Tigersong]

"And the potential break out of battle?" Featherstar asked curious to hear what Pokerpaw had to say.

[-- Kaylen --]

"Possibly horrid but no lost warriors. Our warriors our to well trained to die in a battle against Leafclan, besides if they start a fight on our territory they would render hopeless. They can't stand the undergrowth, correct, they rely on the marsh and pine barbed trees," Replied Pokerpaw.

[Tigersong]

"Ah yes. You know, you are very wise for an apprentice. I shall be happy when you are able to become a fully fledged medicine cat." Featherstar mewed. "Not that I want your mentor to step down, but you seem like a wonderful young cat." She purred.

[-- Kaylen --]

Pokerpaw gave a proud smile before mewing, "I very much appreciate the compliment, myy mentor claims I'm smart for my age though I don't see how I'm different from the others," Replied the little tortishell with a shrug of confusion.

[Tigersong]

"You think. Most apprentices jump in head first in any situation, and don't think about anything. You on the other hand, you think and can hold a conversation for more than a minute." Featherstar mewed.

[-- Kaylen --]

Pokerpaw just had to smile with happiness. It was true but she honestly didn't find it unique..It was something she had always been.

[Tigersong]

Featherstar purred. "You are very unique." She smiled.

[-- Kaylen --]

Poekrpaw purred softly, "I appreciate the compliment Ma'am," She mewed in tender response.
