Another Day.

[redstorm]

Howlingwind stepped out of his den, scowl spread across his face. This was simply another day, another chance to gather some herbs, heal someone or bring new life into the world. Well, help bring new life. Technicality, ya have to love it. He looked at the sun for a quick sec. Sun high. Purrfect. Cat puns, gah. What was he doing today, trying to kill himself with bad humor? Whatever.

He stretched a bit, still a little sleepy. He had slept in a lot today. Usually he would wake up at dawn. Something was wrong, just kidding. Look look, more bad humor. Three for three.

Hm, what did he need to gather. Uhh, he went through a mental list, checking off herbs that he had a good supply of. Tansy, burdock, dock leaves annnndddd maybe a little marigold. Greeeaaat, he would get to go by the Shadowclan border. He hated how the best supply of tansy was close to their border. It made him want to run across and scream "YOU FOX HEARTS!" but he wouldn't do that.

He needed to have a word with (Insert leader name here) so he could get an escort or two. Maybe a couple of the apprentices, get them out of camp for once.

(Ohgod, the bad humor in that post murdered my soul. e-e)

Sleep was good. Sleep was got Lightpaw going in the morning. The dawn of a new day, the smell of dew upon the grass, the gentle splash of the river. It was so comforting for the tom cat to wake up to, but today, waking up was something he wasn't too overly keen about doing. He was warm, and cozy in his nest of moss and down, but the chilly air of the morning was seeping in through the den door and was taunting him, whispering for him to get up and face the cold. Lightpaw wanted to ignore the wind, ignore the gentle tone of the bitter cold, he wanted to remain asleep with the rest of the apprentices. But, the air had different plans. Penetrating the warmth the nest was providing for the small medicine cat apprentice, it began to nip at his paws, his little nose, and weave it's cold fingers through his pelt of pale orange.

A shiver travelled down his spine, causing his body to convulse for a moment, before he opened his green eyes to let the light meet his gaze. Whiskers twitching, he felt a yawn rising up from deep within his chest. Jaws parting to release it, he flipped over to face the inside of the den, and to look upon the other apprentices. He was surprised however, to find that the den was nearly empty, himself being the only soul within it. Legs stretching, his mouth closed along with his eyes. Lightpaw stood up, his dainty paws supporting his lithe body, and with a flick of his tail, he padded out of his den and into the heart of RiverClan camp to see that it was quite busy already. Smiling to himself, he trotted over to the fresh-kill pile, mewling 'good mornings' to anyone he passed by. It was the same thing he did every morning, and like today, he got the usual grunt of acknowledgement from the tired cats. When he was almost to the pile, his eyes fell upon Howlingwind, his grumpy mentor. A huge grin erupting across his face, he changed directions and sprinted over to him.

"Good morning Howlingwind!" Lightpaw purred, and smiled up to the tom cat. "So what's on the agenda for today?" He inquired, his voice all business now. The apprentice was anxious to become a medicine cat, and not necessarily replace Howlingwind, but have that title. Despite the tom cats crankiness, Lightpaw was fond of his mentor, because of how dedicated he was to his job, he admired that about him.

Actions/Thoughts/Speaking

Graystar stirred from her deep sleep. Her mossy nest clung to her pelt. She rolled over onto her back and stretched. Clawing the air and then getting to her feet. She heard mummbles of a conversation going on out in the camp. She shook the moss from her pelt and stretched once more. The gray she-cat moved out of her den and into the open area of the camp. She saw Howlingwind and Lightpaw sharing-tongues. "Hello" Graystar dipped her head to the medicine cat and his apprentice. Longing to have an apprentice of her own she moved towards them. "How are you two today?" She cocked her head slightly waited for each of their answers.
