Skyleaf Skyleaf paced in her den, making the water that trickled in the small pool in her den ripple. Nothing has happened that was very interesting since the Gathering. Something was up...and Skyleaf needed to know what it was. She felt her insides twist at the thought of an attack on her Clan...her beloved Clan. Seeing that pacing wasn't going to solve anything, she went through her stores of herbs. they were running low on tansy and catmint...two things that needed to be saved up. She made a mental note to not use more than three to five leaves of each for a wound. Luckily, greencough was low in the camp. Whitecough had made an appearance but was quickly wiped out with weaker herbs. Catmint was precious to all the Clans, but it thrived in SnakeClan, but they picked very little.
Trying to see into the unknown future for her Clan, she reached a black paw toward the very back of her stores where the seeds lie. She would frequently come across tansy, poppy, catmint, borage and lavender seeds. She was going to make a small garden so to speak. Getting all the seeds she could find, Skyleaf wrapped them up in beech leaves so they wouldn't fall out and started on her way. The camp was alive with activity, but nothing would seem out if a medicine cat with a bundle made her way to the forests. But seeing as making a garden for her precious herbs would take time, she'd need help to make it quick. She had other duties to attend to like checking the kits and their nursing mothers, repack deep wounds on the warriors or put a tad bit of tansy on them.
Skyleaf thought of a few cats that could be up to the job. It wasn't exciting or fun, but it would better the Clan in the end. Skyleaf wanted someone to go with her that was quiet, and listened intently. Very few cats in SnakeClan held that quality seeing as the Clan was a singing Clan. And Skyleaf thought only of one.
"Falconcry!" Skyleaf called from across the clearing. Hopefully the dark gray tom-cat heard her from where she stood. Only time could tell.
OOC: Sorry Sun that I dragged you into this! I need to RP with Skyleaf badly. And plus I'm trying to revive myself into the RP mood. lol! Summer's coming up quick for me so I'd better get used to writing a lot! XD

Seeing through the scarred yellow eyes of FALCONCRY...
Singing is my outlet for all the troubles in life...so what's yours?
I stretched my legs, flexing my claws, and twitching my tail. Another morning, another happy day! My eyes still had some 'closure' they needed doing, and it took a bit of effort to get them to open up. My scarred eye sent a stab of pain through my face as I attempted to open it, and it closed, ending the pain. My ear twitched in the direction where my name was called, and I turned my head groggily toward the noise. Skyleaf. What could she want? Oh well. Another adventure for the day. But why did it have to be in the morning? Mornings weren't good for anyone, especially me. But, hey, and adventure was an adventure, right?
I stretched out once more, wiping away the sleep from my eyes, or eye, really, and padded out of the warriors' den. The sun hadn't quite made its way out of the thick layer of clouds surrounding it, the sign of approaching spring. I padded over to Skyleaf's den. "Hey Skyleaf," I meowed cheerfully once I faced her. "You need something? I heard my name, so, yeah!" I smiled gleefully up at the medicine cat. What could she need me for? I was just a young warrior with a taste for song. What could I do for a medicine cat?
Oh well. As I said before, an adventure was an adventure!

Skyleaf "Hey Skyleaf, you need something? I heard my name, so, yeah!" Falconcry asked with a happy tone to his voice. Maybe he wasn't so quiet after all...oh well. Can't back out now.
"Yes. I need your help with planting a small herb garden with me. This way." Skyleaf flicked her tail as a signal for time to go. She walked out of the camp into the forest. New-leaf was on it's way and it was coming quickly. The air felt cleaner, the sun warming just a bit, and the trees and bushes had buds of new leaves on them. Now was the perfect time to plant. She led Falconcry deeper into the forest where she knew the sun would shine all day. The rock clearing that she found Raccoonstar at one time. It was perfect. Sunny, a stream flowed close to it, and not as humid as the rest of the forest. It would be perfect.
"Alright, I need you to make divots in the softer earth so I can plant these seeds. Make sure the divots are evenly apart." She flicked the ground at where she wanted him to start. She settled herself down along with the bundle of leaves she carried. She separated all of the seeds into each plant group. By early green-leaf, they should have a thriving herb garden and maybe ever barter with it for food from other clans. But their forest was rich in prey so they never lost any of the warriors to starvation in leaf-bare. Skyleaf waited patiently for Falconcry to finish the job she gave him. Hopefully they could finish this within the hour.
