Gosh, it sure was cold. As the temperatures continued to drop, Waspsight found himself ever more hurried in going through their herb stock. Unfortunately, it wasn't like it was a chore that could be rushed. These plants were delicate and needed to be sorted gently, thoroughly, and most certainly one at a time. Let's see here... Cobwebs, moss, poppy seeds, we've got plenty of those. Won't be running out any time soon. We're good on comfrey, horsetail, and luckily, we haven't had to use our catmint stock this Leaf-Bare. Waspsight hoped they wouldn't have to. Although it had been dreadfully cold, none of their Clanmates had come down with anything more serious than a minor cold. It did do a number on their tansy and coltsfoot supplies, though. They would have to try and restock soon. Thankfully, tansy was easier to find and more necessary. It was just a matter of the plant surviving the snow and ice.
Hmm, what else? What else... Ah, I've got to remember to bring Tawnypainter some fennel later. He'll need it for his hip. I'm sure the cold weather hasn't been too kind to him lately. He'll appreciate some relief from the aching. Oh, and I need to see about visiting Quiethawk for some tormentil. It only grows during this time of year in WindClan territory. If we don't get our paws on it now, we may not until next season.
Well, now there was no disturbing the calico tom. He was far too gone in his own thoughts. Waspsight had probably gone over their entire stock two or three times today, as he had been cooped up in the medicine cat's den since he woke up this morning. By now, the dusk patrol would be returning and surely even Juncostar would be ready to settle down for the day. He thought he heard Hareflight's voice once or twice, but nothing had managed to penetrate his concentration. It would probably take the forces of StarClan themselves to shake the healer from the depths of his own mind.
Mellowfrost
Shadowclan Deputy
“Wait? Are you pulling some kind of prank? You and Mantisheart aren't dating?!” Mellowfrost said, his green eyes widened when looking at Waspsight as if he grew two heads. So they weren’t dating? Damn, the elders really were such gossipers. “Great, now I owe Leafstorm a couple of frogs because of you.” The cream and brown tom grumbled as the deputy shifted to lean on one side, pouting. The brown elder had mentioned that Bugeye and Waspsight weren’t dating, while Mellowfrost thought that they were indeed dating. Ugh. “Back when I was younger, Waspsight.. Toms usually were blunt and straightforward about wanting to court, but it seems like the young ones are changing it around these days with all your mixed signals.” Mellowfrost huffed, speaking as he was seasons older.. When in reality, Mellowfrost and Waspsight only had a year gap. Squinting at the tom, he shook his head “You sure that you don't even wanna cuddle with the poor tom? I know he looks like he wants to bite everyone’s head off, but he seems decent enough.”
“Ugh, forget it.. You’re too young for romance anyways, stick to the healing stuff.” Mellowfrost suddenly dismissed his thoughts with a flick of his tail, suddenly getting up and moving to get the bundle that Waspsight had prepared. It was quite a surprise that the calico tom trusted him enough to perform the action, but then again Mellowfrost was quite an observer with many things, thanks to Smokestar as his mentor. With his lone white paw, Mellowfrost carefully brought the package closer to him and wrapped his tail around it protectively. Tilting his head, the deputy arched an eyebrow while letting out a scoff “No, I said the treat was for me! Birdie can ask for his own treat.” Mellowfrost said with narrowed eyes. He didn’t want to admit that Waspsight was right, as it seemed like the healer caught him in the act.
“Fine, you can kindly tell him when he asks the next time.” Mellowfrost grumbled as he was given the piece of leaf that contained the sweet treat. He was fighting the urge to lick up the dab of honey, but Ravenkit was quite a scary little lad if angered.. Mellowfrost remembered when calling Ravenkit a ‘Pipsqueak’ the other day which caused the black and white kitten to run towards him and began slapping him at the foreleg as he was attempting to do damage.. For the drama, Mellowfrost pretended that he was hurt and collapsed. Ravenkit was pleased that he ‘defeated’ Mellowfrost and went to tell Juncostar. Suddenly his eyes widened as he was apparently being kicked out now
“Woah! How rude!” Mellowfrost said, but remained seated as he wasn’t intending on going anywhere. The deputy had just arrived, he intended on staying for a while until Waspsight had bored him enough to wanna leave. Finally settling down, his paws tucked underneath him, Mellowfrost smiled cheekily “You know Waspsight, if Deputyship doesn’t work out.. You better watch out for your position, Hareflight told me that I had the great potential of being a healer.” Mellowfrost teased the smaller tom. Waspsight seemed so serious all the time, the cream and brown tom wanted to teach him how to loosen up a bit and enjoy himself. Looking around the den, he just noticed that there were herbs all over the place before looking at the calcio tom and raised an eyebrow “So what do you usually do around here? Recite the herbs just for fun?” He questioned, as he wanted to see what Waspsight did for entertainment. #3ae83b
