finally leveling out || nettlepaw's first excursion

Mentions:

Carrying some borage carefully in his mouth the tom was returning from where he had been herb hunting near the river he was a ways out of camp yet when he spotted the newly apprenticed Nettlepaw without his mentor and by the way he moved he hadn't the permission to do so either. As an apprentice himself he felt that he might not have much luck in deterring the younger tom from pursuing his plans but at least Pantherpaw followed the rules of being out of camp he either got permission from Foxlily to go out on his own or went with other warriors when they went on patrols or just wanted to be out of camp. Some of them were even nice enough to carry some herbs back for him, since he had had no such help today he hadn't picked a whole lot not wanting to drop anything on the way back and waste the herbs they needed by losing them.

He watched as the other tom travelled further from camp and sighed even if he couldn't convince him to go back he could at least make sure he stayed safe. Setting the herbs down gently he covered them with a few leaves scratching around it to mark his spot he then ran to catch up with Nettlepaw before he got much further "Nettlepaw. What are you doing out?" he questioned.

Pantherpaw chuckled "I'm also older and I received permission to go out and collect herbs, you were just made an appren tice and I doubt you've managed a whole lot of training. Webleaf wouldn't just send you out on your own." he meowed watching the younger apprentices body language he hadn't missed the smug grin the younger tom had sent his way which made him stand a little taller. As the moons had passed the tom had grown larger and though not as tall as Crystalsky he did currently stand over the younger apprentice. Though if he thought about it had he remained a warriors apprentice by now he would have his warrior name.

Pantherpaw regarded Nettlepaw for a moment wondering if punishing him every time would even get through his head, for some reason he thought something bad might have to happen to show Nettlepaw that wandering out on his own wasn't a good thing. However for today he thought just going out with him would be enough when Nettlepaw mentioned that he might have permission Pantherpaw held back the pointed look he wanted to give. He was not the toms mentor and therefore if any reprimand was to come it would be when Webleaf actually realized where her apprentice went. It certainly couldn't come from him but he could make sure the tom had back up at least. He still remember what training he had received and with Foxlily offering to teach him more as well maybe he could help out the younger tom. "No I'm not going to tell Webleaf, she can figure it out on her own. Though if you would allow me if you need time out of camp I can always bring you with me you can explore and maybe we'll find some interesting spots." he suggested feeling this was a better option then Nettlepaw going off on his own.

Pantherpaw chuckled "Of course, and if there's no sick or injured cats in the clan medicine cats try to prepare for anything that can happen, making poultices that keep for a few days so that its ready making sure we have enough herbs to last, we ensure that the herbs that can are dried properly and not rotting without us knowing. We make sure the stock is fresh as older herbs loose the ability to help after some time." he explained until saying out loud the tom hadn't realized just how much went into working as a medicine cat but he never felt the weight of it, as they kept it between himself and Foxlily it seemed alright sometimes they would get help from their clanmates.

Pantherpaws ears twitched the other apprentice he had told what happened to had been shocked and seemed upset at what had happened to him that he became a little uncertain if he should actually share what went on. Though he supposed it was better coming from him than hearing it from another, he was closer to the situation and could explain it further than others could guess. Doesn't mean that he had to like having to explain it but he realized some clan mates might actually dislike how he had become a medicine cat, he just hoped it didn\t make problems in the future after all he had been accepted by Starclan though his first meeting with them had been relatively silent with Starclan cats around him looking but only nodding never actually speaking with him. He had felt it odd almost like one of them wanted to talk but were just unable and he began to wonder if that might have something to do with the two creators of the clans and their display at that was to come at the gathering that took place. He debated with himself a moment more before beginning " I wasn't really on the path as a medicine cat first, I was a warrior's apprentice. Mind you, not a very good one. I had a bad stutter that my mentor had to contend with along-side not being able to pick up battle moves very well. I was deter-mined though to prove that I could handle being a warrior deter-mined to prove I was great despite my problem. Imagine my surprise when a meeting was called Foxlily had received a sign of who she should take as an apprentice, and my name was called." he chuckled taking a break and watching for the toms reaction.
