Draged in here. (P)

[Foxclaw]

"let me out!" He hissed stomping his feet like a stubborn kit. The stomping only hurt his head more making him stumble.

[Amberflash]

Amberflash's eyes widened.

Then she violently shook her head. "No, Foxclaw! You need rest! You can't even walk straight!" She meowed desperately. Couldn't Foxclaw see how this hurt her too?

[Rainlight]

"Thank you, Crowwing." She said softly. She knew that he would take good care of him. 'I hope he won't be too much trouble. Crowwing's retired, after all. I don't want him to get stressed out with having more work.'

Rainlight flinched when Foxclaw protested some more, then dug her claws into the ground when the warrior tried to leave. 'He needs to stop resisting!' She heaved a sigh, watching as Amberflash blocked him. Then it was followed by Foxclaw hissing and stumbling. She'd had enough.

"FOXCLAW." She yelled, positive that any cat standing outside would've heard her. She padded closer and tried to grab him by the scruff again. From there, she attempted to shake him around. She then dropped him, panting. "You're staying here whether you like it or not. You have no choice." She couldn't remember the last time she'd yelled, and she kind of felt guilty for it. Still, he wasn't listening and she was getting irritated.

[Foxclaw]

Foxclaw was taken aback by his mother's yell. She had never yelled at him even when he deserved it. He didn't yell at speckflame either. However, he pushed him hard. Maybe if he enforced it maybe he h-. Foxclaw sat down in a nest and slowly began to silently weep.

[Amberflash]

Amberflash felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Though, it still didn't permeate the wall of worry her mind had erected. She nervously paced around Foxclaw in circles. He still seemed upset even if he stopped being so difficult. Was he going to be okay?! He didn't seem okay. Even if Crowwing made him better physically, he was still messed up in his head and herbs couldn't fix that! Beginning to worry even more, she sped up, even changing the direction she was circling in at random intervals.

[Crowwing]

usage of poppy seed: they help with sleep, shock, distress, and pain.

He was still persistent in refusing to obey his orders. Thank goodness that she-cats were more aggressive than toms because he would not even have dared to summon Foxclaw back. One blind eye was already enough for him! But then Foxclaw started to cry and the former medicine cat froze. He never really saw any other cat cry, let alone in front of others. Not to mention that Amberflash was creating circles, creating a tense draft in the den.

Right. The tom returned with the poppy and nudged his patient a bit. "Chew on these seeds when you're ready," he whispered. "It should help you a bit."

[Rainlight]

Foxclaw was crying, and Amberflash was circling him. Great. Rainlight heaved a sigh, then padded over to join Foxclaw in his nest. She tried to give him a few licks on the head, then flicked her tail toward the poppy seeds. "Go ahead." She murmured, watching Amberflash pace around. Hopefully she would relax.

[Foxclaw]

He ate them and kept silent. He wasn't going to even try he was broken down

[Amberflash]

The silent complacency was starting to freak out Amberflash.

Why was he so resistant than suddenly this obedient? It only served to further convince Amberflash that there was something extremely wrong with her friend. She paced frantically in front of Foxclaw before stopping, standing over the russet furred tom, only frequently shifting her weight. She crouched down to she could speak into her ear.

"Y-You do know we care... Right?" She whispered in his ear, her voice cracking just a bit.

[Foxclaw]

He couldn't even manage a node before he went to sleep. Something he hadn't done in moons.

[Amberflash]

Amberflash relaxed as she saw Foxclaw drift off into a slumber.

He looked tired lately, and rest was always a good thing... Right? She anxiously looked between Crowwing and Rainlight.
