PAFP Event Border ThunderClan RiverClan between herbs and heartbeats // jingle, gale & rain

[Wavesong]

{$title} the gang is on herb patrol! thunderclan is welcome to have a small chat with them while they're busy!

And that's why we share all we have with you
Though there's little to be found
When all you've got is nothing
There's a lot to go around

.

The sun filtered down through the trees, warm and golden, dappling the damp earth beneath their paws. It was a rare moment of stillness between storms, literal and otherwise, and Wavesong intended to make the most of it. Even now, with her belly round and her body beginning to tire easier than she liked to admit, the molly padded forward with a determined energy, her expression bright and her voice already stirring the silence. " Keep yer noses open, loves. " she called back with a soft chuckle, ears twitching at the faint flutter of a bird overhead. " Rainpaw, remind me again what borage looks like, Galepaw, ye too. Think of it as a pop quiz, aye? "

She slowed her pace, waiting for the apprentices to catch up beside her. Her striped tail flicked behind her, swishing low to the ground like a feathered banner. Her eyes gleamed with mischief and pride alike as she turned to Galepaw with a raised brow. " Borage helps with milk, mostly fer when kits come 'round, but it's good fer fevers too. " she offered, giving Galepaw a wink. " Thistle-like leaves, bluish flowers. Looks all cheerful even when everythin' else is wilting, y'know? "

Wavesong paused beside a patch of growing flowers, nosing it gently before glancing sideways, eyes instantly softening as she spotted Jinglemoon a few tail-lengths off. Her smile faltered just slightly. " Ye alright, bells? " she called gently, voice warm but quieted, carried on concern rather than cheer. " Don't go wanderin' off too far, now, I'll send Galepaw t'tie yer tail to mine if I've got to. " Her teasing was fond, but her gaze lingered a moment longer before returning to the task at paw. She couldn't help it. Jinglemoon had carried the weight of the clan on his shoulders for moons, and the strain still lived in the set of his eyes. Wavesong worried. Quietly, consistently.

If there was anyway she could help her friend, she would. Even if it was looking for herbs at the ThunderClan border. " There, Jinglebingle, isn't that a herb you could use? " she meowed, lifting a paw to point toward some willow leaf. She wasn't certain what it did anymore, but hopefully it could be of help.

—————————————————— Rocked by an endless motion ✦

The apprentice knew... some things about herbs, at least. In fact, he knew quite a few things—like that they existed, for one. Gale hadn't exactly undergone any sort of training like his sister had—which meant he felt a bit like a bumbling kit following after Wavesong. At his mentor's words, he frowned in frustration. "Borage... I... I don't..." The tom muttered to himself, he certainly recognized the name... but what it looked like, much less what it did? The poor cat was no better with that than if he had been in total darkness.

Thankfully, Wavesong was a kind mentor. "For when kits come 'round..." The tom echoed, nodding after a moment of mental categorization. "Certainly sounds useful..." The tom muttered to himself, glancing towards his mentor's swollen belly. Surely it wasn't needed... or perhaps he could help, if he could just find some. His large blue eyes scanned the forest floor around them, though he felt a certain discomfort prickling up his spine being so far inland. There was a sort of familiarity with the water, the constant rushing noise soothing to him. Gale was more than aware of the danger it brought, but it was at least a familiar danger. The forest hid its dangers, hid them far too well for him to be comfortable.

A flash of blue caught the tom's eye, and he spun towards it in interest. With gentle claws, the tom pushed away the plants surrounding the glint of blue he had seen—but pulled away in disappointment, finding that the weed that had peaked his interest was anything but thistle-leaved. With a disappointed mutter, the tom sped back up to keep up with his mentor.

Jinglemoon's mind had seemed elsewhere as Wavesong quizzed the apprentices about what borage looked like-- He had heard of that herb before but wasn't sure he had ever seen it growing within RiverClan's borders so it must've been something the molly learnt of during her shipyard days he wagered, or perhaps maybe some of it grew in ThunderClan or SkyClan's land? Either way it was helpful that Wavesong also knew of it, what it looked like and what it was useful for. Having some of it would certainly be useful later but alas. Maybe he could try finding some of it out where that fawn coloured molly currently resided... His gaze drifted off towards the nearest border, far out beyond any clans' territory only being snapped back to reality once Wavesong spoke to him directly.

"Huh-- Wuh" He looked as though he had practically jumped straight out of his blue pelt but was quick to try and smooth his posture back down into something more relaxed, as though Wavesong were able to find out about the molly if he even so much as thought about her. "R-right! Sorry, yeah I'm alright" He stuttered only meeting Wavesong's gaze for a split second before finding he couldn't keep it for long like he usually did, probably because he felt he wasn't being fully truthful to her by keeping something from her. He of course trusted his friend with knowing and knew she wouldn't bite his head off if he did tell her, but he didn't want any stress that came with knowing to weigh on her, especially not right now. Not to mention what Adderfang might say, Jinglemoon did not want to tell her something he knew she then couldn't tell to her mate. "Just a little... Lost in the stars!" He would chuckle anxiously even though the sun was very much out and shining.

Maybe by 'don't go wandering off too far' Wavesong had also meant in thoughts as well...

She was soon pointing out something to him too so he had no time for his thoughts to wander off again and it was a good thing too, he shouldn't be so distracted on a patrol! No less one with their apprentices and this close to the border. He'd give a shake of his pelt before approaching the herb she had pointed out, the long leaves with the bottom side of the leaves being covered in fine white hairs was unmistakable. "Willow leaves" He'd nod in thanks to Wavesong for having spotted it. "Good for helping with vomiting" It wouldn't be too useful right now but it was better to have the herb and not need it then to need it and not have it.

He thought back to how Wave had quizzed the two apprentices just earlier and seeing the disappointment on Galepaw after only having discovered a weed he decided it was a good idea to continue giving the younger cats questions like she had done to help them learn. Luckily too there was an elder bush nearby where the willow leaves had been found. Leaning down to the two siblings he would gesture towards the bush with his nose, "See that bush there? Can you two tell me what the leaves are good for?"
