Herb Training

Moonsage padded up to the Medicine Cat Apprentice den, his aching bones tired and his step lurched, due to his early, yet showing, old age.. He sniffed around, but even his sense of smell wasn't as acute as it used to be. He sighed. He still had some moons yet, but this old thing was something he had to get used to. "Ebonypaw?" He rasped, waiting for his apprentice. "Are you awake?" He asked, because it had dawned on him that it was.. indeed, dawn. He looked around, seeing a few birds fly up ahead and the sound of crows in the distance.

Ebonypaw blinked open her eyes slowly, lifting her head at the sound of an familiar tom's voice. She let out a long yawn. Man, what time was it? She had felt as if she hadn't had barely any sleep. The she-cat wasn't used yet to waking up in the morning, as compared to the to the free schedule the comfort of the nursery offered.
She looked up, recognizing the shape and pelt of her mentor. "Moonsage?" she meowed and stretched out her body. "Yeah, what is it?"
'I'm gonna go back to sleep.', she thought and yawned again. Her ears picked up the sounds of the morning birds.

Moonsage sighed contentedly. "Ebonypaw, let's go. You're not a kit anymore, you're going to have to get up on time. We're going to do some herb training today." He said, sternly but calmly.

"Say what now?" Ebonykit's ears shot up. She smiled, "Well why didn't you just say so?"
The apprentice sprung out of bed and padded up too Moonsage. "What are we gonna learn 'bout first?"

"First, you're going to go get me some fresh kill," Said Moonsage resting under a tree, and yawning. "Then remove the Elders' ticks. Then we'll train."

"What?!" Ebonypaw eyes grew wide. "You woke me up just to-" She froze, biting her tongue and spinning around to the fresh-kill. So unfair.
