Warmpaw smiled.
[color=f7976a]"I think it might be a good change."[/color]

The walk to the twolegs place was uneventful and, since Warmpaw was uncomfortable with silent walks, he decided to make some conversation.
[color=f7976a]"Do you ever wonder how we figured out how to use herbs? Was it just luck or did StarClan show us?"[/color] He trotted along happily, it was strange. If he had gone out like this two moons ago, he would have been deathly afraid of everything. Being with Mallownose, he felt safe.

When they got close, Warmpaw could smell the catmint. It was such a great smell and he rather enjoyed sniffing the stalks when they have them in the den. Somehow, they always made him feel relaxed.

"Warmpaw, do you see that?"
Warmpaw had been so focused on the catmint, he hadn't noticed the underlying scent of fresh kill. He padded up beside Mallownose and instantly reeled back and hid behind his mentor. The cat chittered away, clearly very anxious about their presence. 

He peeked out at the cat. He wasn't sure what to do. He had mentioned StarClan, though. Was he a clan cat? No.. no clan cat would be this far into their territory.
[color=f7976a]"Mallownose, what do we do? He looks really hungry."[/color] A thought then crossed his mind, and he wondered if the same thing had hit his mentor. He had caught the scent of thyme.

Warmpaw nosed around and found a small cluster of the plant nearby. Surely the twolegs growing it wouldnt miss a few stems. He came back and edged toward the stranger. He knew if the cat attacked, Mallownose would have his back, but the tom always told him it was the duty of a medicine cat to look passed the differences in cats and help them all. So it was a risk he was obligated to take. Once he got too close for comfort, he set one down and backed up.
[color=f7976a]"This is thyme, it will help you calm down. We aren't here to hurt you. I am Warmpaw, a Thunderclan medicine cat apprentice and this is my mentor, Mallownose."[/color] he flicked his tail toward Mallownose, [color=f7976a]"Are you okay?"[/color]
