Cinderpaws soft pink gaze looked cluelessly at the herbs before them. To him, it looked like leaves, and flowers, and seeds- he didn't recognize them at all, but to Swallowbreeze, they meant something. They had a meaning that he just didn't know- they were on different paths, yet Cinderpaw looked up to Swallowbreeze with almost as big of eyes as he looked up to Duskpool with, or Flowercloud, or even Hawkstar.

His paws shook a bit as he frowned. "Is Aunt Flowercloud sick? is she going to get parasites fighting the thunderclanners like I have?" Cinderpaw asked bluntly, as if he knew exactly why Swallowbreeze had given him herbs. "It's still so itchy- I don't want her to get more sick because of their gross claws." The albino apprentice let out a long sigh, widening an eye before closing the other as he squinted closely at one of the herbs as if he might be able to better understand it.

"I think this is just a leaf. Actually I know it is. Are you sure this is supposed to be here?" He asked, looking to her. "Can you tell me what to do? I can help I promise!"

medicine cat is a social obligation, and the most socially awkward of healers cannot fight it. the warrior will try to break the empty air after you've stopped the bleeding, and the deputy's nephew will talk and talk and talk and talk.

"thunderclanners don't have fleas. we've been over this." she sighs, pushing past the leaf curtain and immediately rushing towards her stocks. there were enough to create a poultice for whatever came her way, but it couldn't be worked on just yet— swallowbreeze considered asking cinderpaw to chew the poultice, but her heart just knew the boy would swallow whatever herbs she'd hand him.

"that is just a leaf..." where did he find that? he's going to touch everything!

"why don't you umm..." her eyes dart around a small portion of her den, trying to find the least issue causing corner she could find. "go find me some cobwebs. i think there's a spider living in that little spot." she points to the furthermost away spot.
