"Mudfur, I need mouse bile," she said entering the den.

The medicine cat purred with amusement, "I told you he wouldn't be very happy." Mudfur pushed some moss soaked with the bad smelling liquid towards her, then whispered, "Come back to the den after you are finished."

Wondering what he might want Mothwing nodded.

The elders, as usually, had many lectures to give her when she entered their den.

"Young cats these days, no loyalty!" Shadepelt muttered.

"Oh you be quiet you big lump!" her companion defended, "All young-uns get into trouble from time to time.

Mothwing sighed. Shadepelt was probably right, and the other cats would see it like that too.

After gathering them new bedding and applying the mouse-bile, the day was already over, with the sun vanished over the trees.

I hope Mudfur didn't forget he wanted to see me.

Cautiously Mothwing entered the medicine den, Mudfur was sitting beside Dawnflower's kit, Petalkit, who was fast asleep.

"How is she?"

Mudfur looked up as Mothwing spoke, "She seems to be responding to the juniper berries a little," he answered uncertainly.

You never answered my question! Mothwing thought in horror.

"Anyways, I'm glad you came, I need to talk to you about today."
