Juniper {p--Cinder}

[Anemonemist]

Misty eyes locked onto the patch of juniper berries just a few fox-lengths away, her heart pounding as she grew closer to them. The overpowering stench of IceClan was almost suffocating to Anemonemist, except for the fact she was quite immune to many kinds of scents.

Technically, this was trespassing. But being a medicine cat had it's special perks.

Anemonemist began to dig under the snow, willing to CloudClan some berries were still alive. She had remembered coming to this border before leaf-bare, and seeing the healthy herbs growing over in IceClan territory. At the time, she did not pluck a single one, as she had her own juniper patches elsewhere in RockClan's own lands. But desperate times called for desperate measures, and those patches of berries were long since dead from the cold.

Except this bush. This lucky bush, Anemonemist didn't even think about it. But the placement was perfect, sheltered from the wind, safe where it was. Under the snow, yes, but still growing strong... or, as strong as herbs could grow in leaf-bare.

Her eyes took in the small, blue orbs. There were only a few branches. Nothing to be too ecstatic over. Yet it was enough to be happy over.

The snow crunched behind her. Anemonemist peered back curiously, giving a deadpanned stare to the figure of an IceClanner. 'Oh CloudClan....'



Cinderflame, sorry it's a little late ^-^

[Cinderflame]

Cinderflame was patrolling the IceClan RockClan border just to see that no one had crossed. She needed to calm down a bit, no one had crossed the border now so she didn't need to worry that much. But Cinderflame still checked the borders daily. IceClan was strong and wouldn't give away territory to other clans. The black she-cat's eyes narrowed as they fixed on a RockClanner, on IceClan territory.

Cinderflame was new to her position so she didn't really know that this cat was a medicine. She never really talked to other cats in other clans nor had she been to a gathering. "You!" She growled padding closer. "What do you think your doing." She saw that the other cat was picking some berries. 

[Anemonemist]

Anemonemist raised an eyebrow at the sharp question. What was she doing? Hah. Was this cat really that blind? Oh, maybe she thought an enemy was plucking mice off of a mouse bush. Oh no, looks like Anemonemist was stealing prey after all!

Note the sarcasm.

After a moment, the RockClanner weaved her tail to gesture towards the juniper berries. "Taking these," was all she said.

[Cinderflame]

Cinderflame growled narrowing her amber eyes. "Your not taking anything from IceClan." The black she-cat padded over to stand in front of the bush, her fur bristling with anger. She then realized that this cat must be a medicine cat, she was taking herbs after all. But still IceClan needed the herbs too. Snowwhisper and Frostbreeze probably needed junior berries but Cinderflame didn't know.

[Anemonemist]

Anemonemist gave a rude roll of her eyes as the stranger moved protective to stand between her and the berries. Tch. She didn't need some random IceClanner as an enemy, but in all honesty, Ane didn't care. What did it matter if some weirdo didn't like her? Not like she'd ever have to talk with this she-cat ever again after this encounter.

"They're just a few berries. If IceClan wants them back, you can send Frostbreeze over to retrieve them." Anemonemist sniffed, giving the warrior a cold stare. "But the longer you stand there, blocking my way, the more likely those herbs will freeze to death."

She needed those juniper berries. She only had three left, and they were sadly rotting away in their leaf wrapping, despite her diligent protection of her herb storage.

And... maybe the other few dozens were... possible, spilled out over the floor and then... uhm... a few squished in her panic, but just a few! The majority were bruised from impact... mmmhm... a little strain on the word 'majority', actually....

[Cinderflame]

Cinderflame narrowed her eyes, fixing the medicine cat with a harsh stare. She didn't like this cat already. Even if this other she-cat was a medicine cat, Cinder didn't think that IceClan should be letting other clan cats onto their territory. "Take them, but not all." She growled. It wasn't prey that she was talking so Cinderflame didn't really have a say in things right now. The medicine cats, Snowwhisper and Frostbreeze should have been dealing with herb issues. 

"Don't tell me what to do on my own territory." The black she-cat growled, twitching her tail in annoyance. Cinderflame didn't really care if she was blocking the medicine cat's path. She just wanted this RockClanner out of here.

[Anemonemist]

Anemonemist was a bit surprised when the she-cat conceded, giving permission for the medicine cat to take the berries. Although, what gave this random IceClan the right to even give permission? Whatever, Anemonemist didn't really care. She could take the berries and leave. Simple enough.

Although when the warrior refused to move, the medicine cat's blank stare turned cold in frustration. "...Are you seriously going to stand there looking like an idiot just because I said the berries are going to freeze if you don't move?" It was a mouthful to say for the usually quiet she-cat, but Anemonemist was very much annoyed at this point.

[Cinderflame]

Cinderflame narrowed her eyes.

"My territory, I decide what I can do not a dumb cat who collects herbs for a living." She growled twitching her tail. "If you really need berries so bad, you could always go around, unless your too lazy to."

(Sorry short)
