You slowly pad into the small den; it seems relatively new. A cat hiding in the shadows, whom you mistakened for a rock, moves, and begins to talk. "Why hello, and welcome to my most humble den. Do you need any medical assistance?" She smiles brightly at you.
Welcome, all medicine cats and Mossclan members! (Of course, other medi cats are welcome to drop in anytime! I'd be happy to help. X3)

"Robinpaw," Swallowtail nodded curtly, acknowledging the apprentice. "Robinpaw, we need more nettle leaves and poppy. I'll show you what they look like in a little bit. Okay?"
[[ You're new, so you can be my apprentice. Is that okay with you? ]]
"Okay, Swallowtail!" Robinpaw mewed, bouncing up and down excitedly. She wasn't usually this hyper, but she couldn't contain her excitement. A apprintice! And a medicine cat apprintice at that!
A mottled grey tom strode into the MossClan territory, his intense deep blue eyes staring at the cats infront of him, he shoved through without a care in the world with OmenStorm behind him carrying a kit. He knew too well where SwallowTails and RobinPaws den was, he'd been the MossClan camp many times before, "SwallowTail!" he called even more a yell than a call. OmenStorm cast him a worried glance when little RippedKit let out a little sneeze.

Um, Omen? If you wanna rp or something, can you go on the rp page? I dunno if you're really allowed (which I'm kinda sure you're not ^^;) so stick to meddie-cat wise, please. ;]
Swallowtail poked her head out of the medicine den. (Btw- who's the tom? ^^; Cougartrail, maybe? ;3) "Yes, Omenstorm, did you need something?" She ignored the rudeness of the approaching tom.
(well i thought since we usually rp on an apprentices ceremony, we'd be allowed to on here, i see no harm unless i kill SwallowTail lol nah thats mean)

She placed the kit on the ground, "our camps been raged by fire, about half a moon ago, remember?" the grey tom watched silently letting the wind ruffle up his soft fur. "we have no herbs, this kits needs some bad. So i thought we;d come here the others are stubborn"

Swallowtail nodded, sympathetically. She gestured to her supplies. It's only the beginning of newleaf, so we don't have as many herbs as we like, either. My apprentice Robinpaw should be fetching some herbs right now." She closed her eyes, then opened them again. "You're welcome to take some supplies, however," she meowed. "I must agree, that fire was strange... I mean, a fire in leaf-bare? Very interesting." She chuckled, although a long string of thoughts were running along in her head, trying to contemplate the mysterious event. She shook her head lightly, silently scolding herself for behaving as such when she had visitors. "So, how is your clan holding up, Omenstorm?" She smiled, asking politely.
The RainClan Medince Cat nodded her head in agreement, "yes, its quite odd especially in newleaf. I wonder was it from StarClan or possibly someone planted it" she suggested, "it definely wasn't a natural fire" joined in the tom, casting a worried glance at the kit. "do you have any Poppy Seeds, Feverfew, Coltsfoot, tansy, watermint, Ragwort leaves, honey, Yarrow, nettle seeds?" asked OmenStorm, "this kit is the last two alive in her litter. She started getting sick after her mother become ill and we gave her to another queen until her mother become better but something is wrong, theres been some record from her fathers side of this sickness." explained OmenStorm, moving the kit inbwtween her front paws.

Swallowtail grimaced. "I have plenty of coltsfoot and feverfew, but I sent Robinpaw to find nettle leaves and poppy seads. I'll have to check my stores for the rest..." The she-cat disappeared behind a wall of bracken, and returned a second later carrying herbs in her mouth. She dropped them in front of Omenstorm. "I have some tansy, watermint, and ragwort leaves," she gestured to the plants. "I can't spare any more, and I don't have much honey and yarrow left." She smiled sympathetically. "I'm sorry... hope your clan recovers soon." She glanced down as the kit coughed. "Hm... We better check up on this little one..." she muttered, nudging the small cat. "What's her name?" She started rubbing the kit's fur to warm her up.
OmenStorm couldn't help but let out a little smile, "we're so grateful, for your help" she purred. "Her name is RippedKit" meowed the tom quite sharply, "Shes been having low and high temperatures, stomache aches, colds, unable to walk and she gets really ill" add the tom, eyeing the kit, OmenStorm threw him a warning glance before her gaze went back to SwallowTail.

Robinpaw padded into camp, her jaws full of poppy seeds and nettle leaves. She padded into her den, set down the herbs and called, "Swallowtail! I'm back!"
All heads turned to stare at Robinpaw. Swallowtail was the first to speak. "Good job, Robinpaw." She sniffed the herbs the apprentice dropped at her paws. "Hmm.. the nettle leaves are a bit flat, but they'll do." She sighed. "Come, Robinpaw, please sort these out." Robinpaw nodded. "Yes, Swallowtail." She turned to stare curiously at the visitors. "You are..." she inhaled deeply, closing her eyes. She opened them again. "Rainclan, right?" "Yes, they are. Now please finish your work, Robinpaw," Swallowtail answered for Omenstorm and the young tom. She stared curiously at him. "I'm sorry, but your name is..?"
