{$title} Honeyflower snuck out of camp in an effort to try and find herbs for her clanmates, but unfortunately seems to have trapped herself in the process :c
Honeyflower's paws were unbelievably restless. She was beginning to feel better, somewhat. And with that came more energy, more time spent awake rather than asleep. ...More hours spent staring at the ceiling of the medicine den with her kits curled up asleep against her.
They were sleeping, now. Whether it was from genuine tiredness or their various issues was beyond the mother. Still, it made her heart ache knowing that there was nothing she could do to help them. Not on her own, at least. Dimmingsun and Meadowpaw were doing all they could, of course. But with the lack of herbs-
Honeyflower frowned in thought, tail twitching. Had anyone been able to go on herb patrols since the flood..? Or did everyone have their paws full with the rebuilding efforts? Her very being itched with the urge to DO. To help. There was no way she could help with rebuilding or digging the trenches Weaselchirp had suggested. But perhaps she could search for herbs..? That hardly required much effort, most likely. Far less than digging in the tunnels or moving debris, she assumed.
It was a wonder the molly had managed to slip out of camp unnoticed. Or perhaps she had been seen but her clanmates were too engrossed in their tasks to realize? It didn't matter.
The moors still looked rather pitiful, after all this time. The grasses were flattened if not outright uprooted and strewn about. The ground she walked on was more slippery mud than anything actually solid her claws could get a grip on.
"Stars..."
A single storm had done all this? Was there even anything left to find or had the storms washed all the herbs away? She shook her head. No. No there had to be something still here. For her kits. For her other clanmates. To lessen the load on Dimming and Meadow's shoulders...
Crossing the muddy terrain took far more energy and effort than she anticipated, and it wasn't long before Honeyflower was wheezing after climbing what felt like a particularly steep hill. She almost debated turning back around but something colorful amongst the mud below caught her eye and her pace quickened. Some kind of berries? Were they useful? It was hard to tell at this distance...
Paws slid down the incline, splashing mud around her already dirty legs. There. Dark berries, clinging to spiky leaves on a bush that had been half uprooted from the floodwaters. Most of them seemed to have washed away, but there were a few still left. The berries had been in the medicine den before, she was sure she'd smelled them before.
Carefully gathering up what she could between her paws, the gale guard turned her gaze upward with a frown, ears flat to her skull. How... was she going to climb back up with these..? It had been so steep she'd slid down rather the ditch than actually walking. Panic creeped in as the realization dawned on her just how stupid she had been...
"H-HELP..!" The shout sent the calico into a coughing fit, then she sat, wheezing. What was the point of finding these herbs if she couldn't even get back to camp with them..?
