nightpaw
Nightpaw glanced back wearily as he walked through the marsh, checking to make sure everyone was accounted for. After Heatherberry's disappearance, he was terrified. He couldn't lose someone again - not on his watch. Especially not on this patrol. Juniperpaw had wanted to tag along, and Fernpaw with her. Though and he and Fernpaw were of warrior age by now, he was still worried by the prospect of so many apprentices on one patrol.
Moreso, though, he was anxious. The anxiety clawed at him, held his heart in its jaws. He didn't know what he was doing. He didn't know what he was looking for. Last night, he'd been visited by an unknown StarClan cat who'd shown him a new herb - borage, they'd called it - but he'd slept so fitfully that the visit couldn't have been longer than a few minutes. Though StarClan tried, he still had no mentor in the living world to guide his footsteps, and it was so terrifying trying to do this on his own. He should've stayed a warrior.
"O-okay, everyone," Nightpaw began, turning around to face the patrol. "We're looking for any plants that might be useful. Report to me if you think you've found something - don't put anything you don't recognize in your mouth." Though what he didn't say was that he probably wouldn't recognize it, either.

I wish I could go back in time; not to change anything, but to feel a few things twice.
Juniperpaw trailed after Nightpaw, gaze flickering between both Fernpaw and the medicine cat apprentice. They were both older than her, and the closest this patrol had to a warrior... Nightpaw had almost been made a warrior, right? Heatherberry interrupted his warrior ceremony to appoint him as her apprentice... so surely, that meant this patrol had pretty much one warrior, so there was... no reason to be scared... the black she-cat's gaze darted around the pine forest nervously. Just for good measure, she took a step closer to Fernpaw. She really did feel bad that she was sticking to the older apprentice so much everytime she got scared, but there really was just no one else around.
Juniperpaw blinked as Nightpaw gave them instructions. Looking for plants? She could look for plants-- quite well, too, from her constant foraging for art materials. She wasn't quite sure what this area had to offer, but whatever she found was worth noting for future projects. With a bit more spring in her step, the black she-cat set off to the nearest clump of ferns, carefully sniffing it's roots and the surrounding area for any specific tangy scent. Small white flowers sprung up to greet her. She knew these flowers! Had used them quite often before too. "Nightpaw, I found some daisies... are they of any use?"
