Stormclaw was crouched over a pile of herbs she was sorting. there had been some wind last night which had penetrated her den and herb store knocking her herbs onto the ground in a large mess.
So after waking and grooming herself for a while she prepared to reorganize what had been disorganized before. She stretched out her front legs clawing the ground feeling slightly irritated, but got down to work using her nose and eyes to pick which ones were what herbs and putting them back in their places. She was careful not to chew any of them and ruin them.
She had been at this for about 15 minutes when she thought she heard someone coming up the tunnel to her den and turned around to see...

Mistypool walked slowly into the medicine cats den, her kits were nearly a quater moon now and they had fallen asleep so she decided to go and see Stormclaw. "Hello Stormclaw, how are you doing?" she said smiling as she watched the medicine cat seperate the herbs into their different piles. She wished she understood everything Stormclaw did, but as a kit the only thing she learned was how to survive, and when she joined Thunderclan she had chosen the path of a warrior.

Stormclaw Hadn't expected anyone to come into her den and was a bit surprised to see Mistypool making an appearance. She sat up and looked around at her fairly pleased to see someone.
"Not so bad, but I think my den has some holes in a gust of wind blew all of my herbs onto the ground"
Stormclaw would have to talk to someone about it so it could be fixed by some warriors. She could not get up and do this every morning.
"How are you and your kits? all doing well?"

Mistypool sat down and listened as Stormclaw spoke about the wind that had been messing up her den, "The still have some patchy places in the nursery as well, I'll have to talk to the next warriors I see about it." she said sighing, not everything was back to normal yet.
"They are fine, its amazing how fast they are growing though! she said thinking about her sweet little kits. "I am also doing ok, I miss my warrior duties but I love my kits so much it makes it more than worth it." she mewed happily. Mistypool suddenly felt a wave of sadness come over her, Stonekit was growing up so much to look like her brother stone. She missed him so much, but with her kits she hadn't had the chance to go and look for him yet.

"You will get to go back to your warrior duties soon, and think how proud you will be to watch your kits turn into strong warriors themselves"
Stormclaw felt a little sad thinking about this, she herself loved kits and sometimes she almost wished she had never become a medicine cat. she be able to have her own kits and care for them would be wonderful, but she had chosen her path, and now she had to walk it.

Mistypool smiled and sighed, "I know but as soon as its time for them to leave the nursery it will all seem like it was over in a heartbeat." she said swishing her tail behind her. She suddenly felt a wave of anxiety come over her, no one had yet asked her abou the the father and she was hoping that the medicine cat wouldn't pry. She tried to cover her sudden axiety with a question, "What is it like being a medicine cat? Knowing all about Starclan and all of the herbs, it must be amazing." she said smilling curiously.

"Time makes fools of us all"
Stormclaw said thoughtfully as she bent picking up a pile of leaves and placing them back where they belonged. When this was done she could go and help herself to some fresh k ill before maybe going and finding some more herbs.
"Well it is..."
She struggled to find the right words.
"Very rewarding, knowing that all of the clan is healthy because I help look after them, and then it can be very... You can feel under alot of pressure if something goes wrong and loosing cats you have grown up with and known all your life is very hard"
Stormclaw was no stranger to loss, she had seen cats die through different means and she knew she had done all she could, but it didn't make the pain any less.

Stormclaw's words made Mistypool want to yowl, she knew all to well what loss felt like, first her mother and brother, then her mate had left her as soon as he found out she was pregnant. She couldn't imagine being under all the stress that medicine cats must be under, knowing that if you made one mistake, got one thing confused, could cost a cats its life.
"I can't imagine being under that kind of pressure." she said truthfully. She was glad the only thing she had to worry about was catching prey and protecting borders, and right now caring for her kits. Her responsibilities weren't nearly as easy to mess up as knowing all of the herbs, and interpreting signs.

"Well someone has to do it, and if i didn't I wouldn't have a life as nearly as interesting as the one i have now"
She said it in good humour as she finished putting back her herbs glad things were back together again. She heard her stomach growl and looked at Mistypool.
"Are you hungry too? How is the fresh kill pile?"
Stormclaw didn't like to eat before the rest of the clan, and sometimes warriors or apprentices brought her food, but she was hungry and hadn't eaten the day before.

Mistpool nodded at Stormclaw, "I could certainly go for a mouse right now." she said before standing up,"I have been feeling a lot hungrier than usual latley, it seemes as if the kits are constantly eating now." she mewed happily at the thought of her kits, "Shall we go and get something to eat then?" she said before taking a step towards the door.

"Well a good appetite is always a good sign"
Stormclaw said with a purr at the thought of the kits herself. She loved kits she would sometimes go to the nursery to watch them scamper and playing.
"Yes i think that will be a good idea, then I think i shall have to find one of the apprentices or young warriors ot help me gather some juniper berries, some were bruised a bit too much when they were blown around."
Stormclaw headed after Mistypool going through the tunnel leading away from her den and out into the clearing.
