Those of earth and herbs gather once more at the moonstone, watching pelts file in through the cave one after another. Coffeestar is pleasantly surprised to see Cicadabuzz and Magpiepaw among the first to arrive, but their dreams are still barricaded by thorny coils and toxic smog. Bugs apprentice does not bring the same sense of guarded steel doors, but he is not who she needs to meet with tonight.

A rust-shaded coat appeared before her attention, and the molly waited with patience for them all to pass acknowledgements before they brushed against the moonstone. Coffeestar's patience wavered, then, waiting not a second more as Rowanpaw sank into sleep to draw her close.

"It's so nice to see everyone cooperate for another night." Coffeestar attempted to soothe herself with pleasantry, but it is quite obvious something troubled her. "How does StarClan's gift fair, Rowanpaw? Has it helped you any?"

Just as she'd wished, when her nose touches the cool surface of the Moonstone, she is soon transported to the starry fields of Starclan, and there in front of her is Coffeestar. She dips her head in greeting, though the following question makes her shiver. She hesitates for a moment, uncertain, afraid. She knows that on the ground, Serpentberry is lying next to her… her mother, her mentor… her world. She can't meet Coffeestar's eyes when she answers the question.

"I… Yes…" she says quietly, pawing nervously at the starry dirt beneath her paws. "Or no… I… I think maybe it would've been easier to not know the truth, but now that I know it–" she swallows, ears flat to her head. "I'm lost, Coffeestar. You speak like you already know what I found out, so please don't make me say it. But I know, I know," she shakes her head, "I wish I didn't. I don't know what to do. She won't talk to me. She's keeping so many secrets, and she… she even threatened to stop treating cats that displeased her– that's not what a medicine cat should do, is it…? I… even if we don't like someone, we have a duty, don't we? To help…?"

She gets up and begins to pace in front of Coffeestar, her shoulders trembling, "she's sick," she says, "she's sick, but I don't know how to help her. It's her… her mind that's sick, not her body. What herbs help with that…?"
