[color=f7976a]"I couldn't imagine being a warrior apprentice with the others."[/color] Warmpaw spoke with wide eyes, as if he were terrified of the idea. [color=f7976a]"I think I am too smart [i]not[/I] to be a medicine cat."[/color] His tail flicked anxiously as he considered what his life might be like as a warrior. There was no way he would survive in battle. He would make a terrible warrior, and it was probably best to not think about it.

He trotted next to Mallownose to their den. He had one of those 'I'm in serious thought right now' looks on his face. Warmpaw wondered what he was thinking about, but kept his mouth shut. It was best not to distract him. While his mentor gathered up the herbs for the queens, he took some time to grab two packs of travelling herbs. It was unlikely they would return to camp before night, and this was just in case. If there is one thing he learned from his past, it was to always be prepared.

Once done, Warmpaw followed Mallownose out of the den and over to the queens. On the way over, his foot got caught on himself, and he tripped just as they reached the den. When his mentor mentioned he was the one who suggested the herbs, he crouched down and gave a nervous smile. Having Hawkstar sitting next to the queen was enough for him to back away and swing around to the other side of Mallownose. From there, he could see the rest of his clan mates.

Shadowpaw was laying in the middle of camp eating. That cat had no concern for the hawks and such that could be flying over head. Not that it was much of a bother to a bulky feline, they were too heavy to carry away, unlike himself. Even facing away, he could see the spark of a prank growing inside the young cats eyes. They were set squarely on Bravefeather, his poor mentor. Warmpaw wondered if Bravefeather would ever be rid of Shadowpaw. The apprentice was at his twelfth moon, maybe Hawkstar would give him his warrior name so his mentor could finally breath.

Warmpaw could see Snowpaw disappearing out of camp with her mentor, Tabbyfur. They were a great team, but Snowpaw was the only one he had eyes for. She was beautiful..! He shook his head, medicine cats weren't allowed to have mates, much less kits, and following the rules set by StarClan was important. Plus he was far too young to be thinking that far into his future. He knew he was staring over long and shook out his fur.

He snapped back to Mallownose when he mentioned to Hawkstar that they were going to be going to gather herbs. A swell of anxiety and excitement nearly burst from him. He jumped up, got his feet tangled and fell face first into the dirt making an 'oomf' sound.
