Stormclan Camp

...

Otterwhisker sat in the medicine den, sorting his herbs with full concentration set on his job.
"Marigold...catmint... catmint?" He muttered to himself as he realized only two catmint were left. His whiskers twitched as he noticed many other herbs were low on stock. Otterwhisker mumbled something to himself as he set out of his den and towards Nightshade. 

Lavenderpaw sat quietly by the fresh-kill pile, her feet shuffled with anticipation to go out on a patrol as she gazed at Nightshade to say something.

Ooc: I need someone to be Lavenderpaw's mentor. Anyone have someone available?

OOC: Maybe Nightshade? *shrug* she's open for an apprentice anyway.
By the way I'm a little bit rusty at roleplaying deputy, haven't done a high rank in a while. Bah.

Nightshade stretched near the edge of the clearing, and let out voiceless yawn. Nightshade looked around the camp with eyes thinned to slits, eyeing Lavenderpaw but turned to Otterwhisker, as he was walking towards the she-cat. Focused on him, Nightshade asked sternly "What is it Otterwhisker?"

Ooc: All you have to do is act like the deputies from Warriors.

Ooc: Yep, Nightshade can mentor her.

Otterwhisker twitched his whiskers, "I'm low on herbs and I need a warrior or apprentice to come with me to find more." He meowed as the sun rose higher in the sky. I need a medicine cat apprentice soon..  He thought to himself as he watched Lavenderpaw in amusement.

Lavenderpaw watched her mentor discussing with Otterwhisker. Ugh when can I go hunting!? She thought to herself as a chilly breeze blew by, almost knocking her off her feet.

OOC: We really need more cats

IC: Nightshade mewed "Certainly." She turned her head around camp and looked for a free warrior or apprentice to go. She didn't bother asking Lavenderpaw, Nightshade was going to bring her apprentice on a patrol after she dealt with this problem. Nightshade's confidence wavered uncertainly for a moment, since no cats seemed not to be busy.

Otterwhisker narrowed his eyes and huffed. "Lousy warriors.." He muttered under his breath as he looked around camp for someone available.

Lavenderpaw couldn't take it anymore from her excitement and jumped to her paws. "Maybe Otterwhisker can join us!" She exclaimed, he tail lashing with excitement to begin hunting.

Nightshade turned her head to her apprentice, and said "Smart, but it would take more time, Otterwhisker might need help carrying the herbs, and we would have to catch less than our abilities would normally let us. Or Otterwhisker would have to take less herbs than he should." Nightshade turned to Otterwhisker, silently asking if he would like to go with Lavenderpaw's plan anyway. After all, they couldn't seem to find anyone else for the job.

Otterwhisker noticed the deputy looking for his opinion. He shrugged, "Sure." He meowed as he fluffed his fur up from the wind blowing at him from behind.

Lavenderpaw's eyes brightened, "YES! I've been waiting so long!" She exclaimed with a cheerful skip towards the exit.

OOC: After this post to StormClan Grass Hills

IC: Nightshade padded behind her eager apprentice, but quickly went ahead. Nightshade turned once more at Otterwhisker then trotted out of camp.

Lavenderpaw followerd her mentor.

Otterwhisker quickly caught up to Nightshade and looked around the forest.

Ooc: K

Splashstar emerged from her den underneath the Stormstones and yawned, peering inside the warriors den.
"Mentors of older apprentices, please join me on a hunt. Alone." she meowed gently, putting more emotion into the 'alone' part.
