Sparrowthorn waited near the entrance to camp, impatiently, for whoever was to come with her to look for herbs. She supposed her mentor might come, but anyone else was a surprise. Regardless, she needed more paws to get as many herbs as she could find. Shadowclan wouldn't hold back if they came marching up to their camp, and they would need all the herbs they could get. She wouldn't let anyone else die if she could help it, not on her watch.

The cobwebs and poultice's her sister made for her wounds had allowed the warrior to gain most if not all of her strength back in the time since the last attack. If one paid close enough attention they could see her slight wince when she stepped oddly with one of her back legs, but beyond that her fur was starting to come back where patches were torn off, the scar above her eye was healing nicely and swelling had gone down.
Sleepyhollow approached her sister and nodded her head, "Is there anything in specific you're needing?"she inquired, she thought back to the herb lessons she had with Batsong back at Highstones, there she learned about the basic herbs and how Batsong had started off as a warrior and changed to a path of a medicine cat. She remembered Batsong asking her if she had ever considered the same path. If she were asked again she might answer the same way.
But being at Highstones just seemed like a dream that Shadowclan and Windclan had once gotten along so well. Well - at least it seemed they were amiable to Sleepy. Then again she was but a small naive apprentice and took mostly everything at face value back then. Sleepyhollow had nothing but (mostly) fond memories from Highstones, most of which included Russetrye. Clicking her tongue impatiently, she looked to the sky, "I suppose any herb would be good to find."
Sootstorm bounded after Sparrowthorn and Sleepyhollow, eyes bright and shining as he scanned the area for the signs of any leaf or flower that looked like something he might find in the herbstores. While Sleepyhollow asked Sparrowthorn about what they should be looking for, the dappled tom had already skipped away. Any plant, as long as it had medical properties, should be what they're looking for, right? He paused as he spotted a patch of plants nearby. Could it be something useful? He carefully approached the patch of plants, sniffing it carefully. Long, dark green leaves tickled his chin, and delicate, fuzzy white flowers appeared like dewdrops over the plant. "Hey, Sparrowthorn! I think I found something!" He called the she-cat over joyfully. These were a type of herb, right?
OOC: Catchweed

Brackenwing followed Sparrowthorn's patrol quietly. If she had stayed in camp any longer, she thought she might explode. A patrol to gather herbs - that were going to be needed, with the idiocy Windclan found themselves in constantly - was the perfect excuse to get out for a little bit. Cats had tried to talk her into staying home, and Brackenwing had refused. The day was nice enough, they were in a group, and the least they could do was let the cranky elder stretch her legs. Sure the lone stump was a bit of a hike for her now, but that didn't matter. She'd pay for it later, she was sure, but for now...
Green eyes scanned their surroundings. Something caught her eye, the small plant was vaguely familiar from her time in the medicine den, though Brackenwing couldn't remember the name of it. "Sparrowthorn, this is useful, isn't it?" She called to the medicine cat apprentice, tail twitching.
"Goldenrod would be good. It's tall, and yellow, easy enough to find if any of it is around." Sweeping her gaze over the other cats that had shown up, Sparrowthorn beckoned them all out toward the Lone Stump. Hardly anyone came up here, so it kept the herbs fairly undisturbed, and they wouldn't scare off too much prey by bumbling around. Sootstorm piped up first, and she moved over to him, looking at the catchweed he had found.
"You did. Catchweed, it helps keep poultices on cats. Good for when the injured decide they simply must move. Make sure to leave some so it'll regrow." Not far from Sootstorm, Sparrowthorn spotted her own find. The bright red blooms of the poppy were hard to miss, thankfully. She collected some seeds within a petal of the plant, gingerly placing it on the ground for her to bring back later.
Brackenwing called her over next. "Thyme, good find. Good for shock. We may need more of this than I'd like if Shadowclan comes after us. Leave some for it to regrow, but grab most of it." Batsong wouldn't argue otherwise, surely. It would take a little longer to regrow the more they took, but this whole war was her fault. They needed the thyme.
With a small huff of air, she went looking again, hoping to find anything she could.
Sleepy hollow nodded to her sister before bounding off after the rest of the herb patrol. She found her way to a thicket and sniffed around looking for the long stems and golden flowers Sparrowthorn had described.
Upon pushing further she had found something similar to what Sparrowthorn had described and she waved her tail, "Goldenrod here, I'll take enough and leave some to grow." she called as she used an extended claw to cut down some of the larger flowering bits. The warrior gathered them in her maw and brought them to Sparrowthorn.
Sleepy found Goldenrod.
