Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sandpaw nodded and wrapped the pultice around Icefoot's sore paw. She took a deep breath to clear her nose of the strong smelling herbs. "Anything else?" She asked, looking around to see if anything else was wrong with the den.

((I have been gone for a really long time sweatdrop , so can i just jump back in okay. And sorry for being gone))

Flamekit looked around the camp. He was wondering about his apprenticeship, he knew it should be coming up soon. Just the thought about that got him excited.

Sandpaw looked at Icefoot questioningly. What was she thinking about? Sandpaw was never one for subtlety, and because her mentor was finally on the road to recovery and no longer in life-threatening danger, she could finally act her own age again. ”Hey Icefoot, what’cha thinkin’ about?

Icefoot purred at Sandpaw's question, as if the apprentice had just told a joke. "Just thinking about the past, times before you were born. I used to be deputy, you know? But every cat grows old, and my run in with the twoleg monster pretty much sealed my retirement." Iceflower nodded "I may have recovered, if I was younger...but I guess being a leader was not Starclan's plan for me. And thank goodness- to be honest, I was scared to death of it"

Icefoot purred happily and settled down into the moss. It had been too long since she told a story. "Diamondstar became deputy when I retired. Everyone was shocked- She was so young at the time. Most cats suspected Knottedtail would be chosen, he was older and a natural leader. In the end, though, Diamondstar was the right choice. Knottedtail was much too eager to fight, and Diamondstar is a swift decision maker, and she adapted quickly to her new role. She surprised many cats." Icefoot wondered what Sandpaw would think about her story. She did not come to listen to her oftain, like some other kits and apprentices did- or used to do. Most were warriors now.
