[Lionstrike]

I padded around the barn area, my icy gaze flicking worriedly. A small scuffle made my ears flick, and when I turned, it was just a mouse. I heaved a sigh, my heart hammering in my chest. Why was I so afraid? I was never like this before. Shaking my head, I ventured from my spot, trying to find Robinstar.

[Robinstar]

Robinstar was up in his loft, sleeping. Parts of his fur were matted with a feverish sweat and he stirred in his sleep, murmuring quietly. His eyes shifted open when paw steps sounded near him, moving his head back and forth sluggishly. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust, but when they did, he recognized the cat as Lionstrike. "Leo?" He asked, grooming his fur. He wasn't too sick, and he assumed it would go away eventually. He didn't want to use the already low supply of herbs when so many others were sick and hurt.

[Lionstrike]

I spotted Robinstar, heaving a sigh of relief. As I walked over, I noticed he didn't look quite... right. "Robbie? Are you okay?" I asked, pausing in front of him. I was almost scared for the answer.

[Robinstar]

Robinstar sighed. He hadn't wanted to worry her—or get in trouble for not having seen the medicine cats, as he knew she'd try and make him see them. "I'm just… a little sick," he shrugged, coughing, which hurt his chest. "Are you okay?" He asked, his voice slightly raspy. "I didn't get to talk to you after the whole ordeal."

[Lionstrike]

I narrowed my eyes at him. "A little?" His cough didn't help his cause either. "Robbie... you need to visit the medicine cats. I know you're too caring about that, but we need our leader. You can't just let yourself get worse." I gave him a serious look. "I'm fine. My back is bruised from the snow, and I twisted my paw, but I'm fine otherwise. Pine had a small leg sprain, but he'll be okay too." I informed him. "But I didn't come to talk about me."

[Robinstar]

Robinstar clenched his jaw together, shaking his head stubbornly. "It's just a cold, Leo. It'll go away. The medicine cats have an extremely low supply right now, and I can't risk wasting it. We don't even know where they can get more herbs." He sighed. "I'm glad you're fine. I am too, and you don't need to worry." He offered a smile.

[Lionstrike]

I shook my head. "I don't think so. I still think you should go to them at least and have it checked out. What's a clan without its leader?" I shook my head. "I don't believe you. I think you're worse than you're letting on."

[Robinstar]

"I'm not dying, Leo," he responded, holding back a couch. "Quit acting like it. I'm going to be fine. I promise." He knew he couldn't promise such things, but he didn't want her to worry.

[Lionstrike]

I gave him a skeptical look. "Okay. Whatever you say." I shook my head. I still thought he should go visit the medicine cats. "You're going to see them soon whether you like it or not."

[Robinstar]

Robinstar sighed with relief that she finally gave in. He ignored her next comment on the matter, preferring not to dwell on the subject. To be honest, he was a little worried of his worsening condition, but as long as he didn't do anything too strenuous it would be fine. He hoped. "And you're sure your paw is okay?" He asked again, just to make sure. "And that you're okay?" He referred to her mental state.
