Once Upon a Time

[Flamingthorn]

Flamingthorn was tired. He also was lonely. He hadn't seen Shatterpaw lately and he was concerned. She will be back soon enough. He just needed some company. He was also in one of those moods. A mood to tell his story. His little rise from obscurity to here, as Medicine Cat of Iceclan. Surely he wasn't doing a bad job he was just unlucky early on. He was also concerned about Maplefrost. Where were his friends? He only had one professional relationship really and that was with Brightflame who happened to be the only other cat in the clan who was in his position. His job was gun but currently dull. Nobody got hurt anymore. He was just alone now. Who would join the flaming Tom for a talk.

[Rivershade]

She entered the camp with prey laden jaws after padding to the prey stalk she scanned the area and felt the sadness of the day rush over her today marked a very unique day it was the very day she had gotten her warrior name many moons ago and it stung she had gotten it with a very special friend who had dissapeared after all of the old fighting with death clan, she missed the old warrior once known as Icywind. she looked around and spoke a flaming pelt he looked just as lonely as she felt. she shrugged and headed in his direction she had heard of a newer Medicine Cat and she new this was one the sharp tang of herbs clung to his pelt and it made her sneeze slightly. she dipped her head to him as she was close enough and asked in a raw sort of tone "May I join you?"


(Nice to meet ya, hope we can become friends  Flamingthorn

[Flamingthorn]

He saw this Warrior and smiled. Hello. That was all he could say for now. He paused for several moments then added, Feel free to join me. I imagine you're tired. He was happy to have company. He needed it.

[Rivershade]

she nodded and settled down to the left of the flaming orange tabby she looked at him and asked out of a hint of concerns as if was quite obvious "Whats troubling you Dear?". she looked at his dull amber optics there was no doubt about it he had a lot on his mind and it seemed like a personal matter of things. she smiled slightly as she reliesd he must know what its like to loose a dear and of very close friend. she waited a answer from the medicine cat, while she thought of what his possible situation could be? (maybe, a cat died he was close to, some one dissapeard, he blames him self for something, ..........?)

As the moments draged on she noticed, he why would he tell her anything she purred at the thought and added "I Might not know much about curing Cats but a can tell a Broken Heart when I see it"

[Flamingthorn]

He tried to think of what to say. What was this cat trying to get onto? I mean, I'm just worried about a friend. That's all. Nothing of major concern. He also had a lot going on. He had herb stores to fix, and then checking the stocks. He likely had to gather plenty of herbs come the end of leafbare.

[Rivershade]

the male still did not give to much of an answer she nodded, but from the glow of his amber optics she would think other wise maybe he is just stressed about something. she tilted her head to the side as a soft breeze carried by promising a good snow storm before long. she looked at the flaming orange tabby tom and reliesed she had forgotten a real introduction she purred at her self and her water like optics glistned with amusment she added with her sweet voice "By, the way im River Shade"

[Flamingthorn]

He let a small grin escape and said It's nice to meet you. What brings you here? He proceeded to take a bite out of a small bass that was at his paws.

[Rivershade]

she nodded as he gave his replie to her real intended way of meeting the tom, she then looked at him with a small sigh she added "I've had this small aching pain in my shoulder for some time......(she paused for a moment then added) When I was a kit I had the same pain I was told it would go away for good but it seems to come back in chilling weather" she tilted her head showing she was puzzled by her strange yet constant ache, she new how she had gotten it as a kit but never really new why it would not go back to normal. she then shook her head seeing she was probly being to dromatic with it and added friendly "I Also, Love to make a new friend" her optics glistend as she said it cause it was nothing but true she loved to meet and greet its who she was althought many cats, were not what they seemed and she had quite a few secertes of her own

[Flamingthorn]

I can help with that pain. he offered. He loved the whole helping and Healing part of his job and it was probably the only reason he did still enjoy it. He was often distressed that not any more cats came to him with their aches and pains. He would get her some poppy seeds later and figure out what to do from there. He experimented often with his herbs and stuff. I don't mind having friends. I hope you can help me with a bit of herbs gathering come leafgreen.

[Winterrose]

Winterrose seen her clanmates talk by the fresh-kill pile as she came out of the warriors den. She knew so much nameless cats she never met, this would be nice to join the conversation.
Making her way over there, she heard Flamingthorn's sentence,
I don't mind having friends.
A sign she could approach easily without any trouble brewing.
"Hey guys. What's new?" Winterrose mewed, sitting spacious next to Rivershade and the orange feline.

[Rivershade]

She smiled and nodded to the tom "I would be delighted to help, any time" She then looked up to see a white molly heading there way and she seemed to already know FlamingThorn by they way she spoke. RiverShade dipped her head in a domestic greeting. " Oh, Nothing much Dear. Just complaining to any body wiling to listen" she purred softly as she gave a pointed wink to the flaming pelted tom at her side. she then added to the snowy pelted warrior " I've seen you around quite a bit WhiterRose is it?" she said with a soft warm voice willing to start up a conversation with both the tom and molly.
