APPRENTICE OF SKYCLAN

The adrenaline has long faded from Smoke's system by the time he nears Skyclan's camp, and the pain from his injured leg has fully set in. He is almost fully limp on Flowercloud's back, doing the bare minimum to hang on, and his eyelids are drooping. Being carried like a kit is humiliating and he hates it, but at least it means he does not have to do anything. With how miserable he feels, all he wants to do is take a nap. He refuses to do that in front of a strangers though, so his eyes stay stubbornly open.

As Flowercloud carries him through the dense pine trees surrounding the camp, his eyes go wide. Suddenly his humiliation is the last thing on his mind. When she had mentioned her camp he had imagined a small den with a family or two in it, not this. A whole clearing filled with cats weaving in and out of at least five different dens. Each cat moves with purpose, and they all look healthier and stronger than him. Each of them share the same strange scent that Flowercloud and Cloudbearer have. His eyes dart back and forth as he tries to count them all, but they are everywhere. He is surrounded.

His tiny claws poke into Flowercloud's back.

It is only after he sees all the warriors and is afraid that he notices there are other cats too. Kits peek out of one den, tinier than even he is. In the entrance of another there are cats older than any he has ever seen lazily stretching. He blinks. It feels like he has stepped into another world.

FLOWERCLOUD

DEPUTY OF SKYCLAN

Flowercloud sauntered carefully with the injured child on her back. She uneasily gazed at Cloudbearer, gentle eyes soft and round with worry, before turning back forward. Smoke seemed cautious, and she did not wish to annoy with questions or trying to soothe him when he hardly seemed willing- but stubborn pride, she hoped, he would find soon enough would not help him any. However, she was proud, to say the least that he gave in. She knew with the way her leg was wrapped in similar reasoned scars that walking on it only got her scolded from Swallowbreeze (and was only let off easy because who was going to rescue her from that far away?)

She pulled through the entrance of camp carefully behind Cloudbearer, and as she pressed forward, she felt the pinpricks of claws into her pelt. "It's okay, smoke," she eased gently to the guarded child. "You're safe, I know it is hard to trust me, but if anyone lays a claw on you- they'll answer to me, or Hawkstar. Got it?" She tried to smooth, before pushing forward. "The medicine den is secluded, don't worry, Swallowbreeze doesn't much like visitors either," she purred in a teasing tone, loud enough the molly may be able to hear, the nervous rumble surely felt by the other.

"Hey, @SWALLOWBREEZE ? Coming in, I have a new patient for you-" she said softly, trying not to alarm the child or their medicine cat as she fully pulled into the den. "This is Smoke.... Had to chase off a dog," she said with a soft shake of her head. "Cloudbearer, can you help me get him down, gently now."

Love me to my bones...
