Paintedstar and her patrol finally arrived at the borders. She walked along the edge sniffing around: no sign of any Clan. Her muscles relaxed then she set upon a thrush pecking at some seeds. Lowering gracefully into a hunters crouch, she stalked it, until Paintedstar held a limp animal. She spat it out and meowed: Go ahead and hunt. But Thistlestain, I need to talk to you. She buried her thrush and headed off to a private spot away from Spottedpaw.
Spottedpaw thought they were going to the hills. She shugged and saw Paintedstar swip a thrush. Then echoed in her ears the command to go on hunting and leave them be to talk. Spottedpaw dashed off immediatly in hope for a rabbit.

((Can Spottedpaw discover Stainedleaf first?))
Thistlestain thingyed (I LIKE that) her head inquisitively, but followed her Leader to the quiet place without a sound. The river on the edge of their Border burbled, covering any words they might exchange. Waiting for her Leader to speak, she opened her maw and yawned. Wait…was that? A flash. Only a flash. But the river covered up the scent again. Thistlestain peered across, but saw nothing. Some pine needles fell, and Thistlestain decided that must be it.
Stainedleaf was on the other side, blithely not realizing there were two other Clan cats on the other side. She was stocking up on herbs like Watermint and Catnip. Especially Catmint, the best cure for Greencough. With spring fast approaching, the kits in the Clan would more likely than not need it.

Paintedstar led the way until sastified where they were. She turned around to face the bronze and champagne warrior, then meowed, Thistlestain, I think it is time you had an apprentice. So I was woundering if you would like to mentor Spottedpaw. And please don't think I'm crazy by asking you this in private. The reason is kinda complicated. If Thistlestain didn't want it, she could easily pick out another warrior to mentor Spottedpaw. Paintedstar sat down waiting for her warrior to answer.
Spottedpaw dashed along the border line scenting out rabbit, but another unfamiliar scent collided with the rabbits. Curious, Spottedpaw stalked at the edge on the border, hidden within some bushes until she found the owner of the scent. RiverClan. guessed Spottedpaw. She saw the medicine cat seeking through different plants in search for something. Since Spottedpaw wasn't trained yet, her scent was clear out in the open but she stayed hidden. Watching this cat, clearly forgeting about hunting.

Thistlestain nodded in understanding. Not of Paintedstar's last statement, which confused her, but in understanding of the request. She hadn't had an Apprentice in a fair while. It would be nice to have another one, to pass on her skills, to train another noble Warrior. Forgive me for asking, Paintedstar, but why me and what are the...complications?
Stainedleaf's fur stood up, uneased. She was being watched, Stainedleaf realized. Shh...she consoled to whomever was out there. Maybe a kit or something. Obviously not trained very well. I'm Stainedleaf. Shh.... A WindClanner!

Spottedpaw showed herself out from the bushes. Stainedleaf, I like that name. she whispered as the orange cat shushed her. I'm Spottedpaw, from WindClan. Your from RiverClan, right? Spottedpaw curled her tail with curiousness, as she scanned her eyes along the RiverClan cat waiting for an answer.
Paintedstar stared at the warrior, as if she didn't understand her language. She sighed as she meowed, Well why you is--..... she broke off as she reliazed that she didn't see Spottedpaw anywhere. Paintedstar expected her to be crashing every where since she hadn't been trained to hunt properly yet. Where is Spottedpaw? Paintedstar still was sitting, but she coked her head in search for Spottedpaw.

Thistlestain was instantly on the alert. You piece of foxdung! she conjoled herself, growling in her mind. She had known something was out there! Why hadn't she told her Leader her suspicions? Thistlestain could kill herself! What if whatever it was had Spottedpaw! Oh owl-pellets! We'll talk later, I guess. Thistlestain whispered and crouched down, her tan and purple camoflaging her. Stalking along the riverbank. Now, as she twitched her ears, she could hear voices on the other side...
Stainedleaf smiled and said, Thank you, Spottedpaw. You have a fine name too. Stay on your side of the river, or we are both in trouble. Yes, I'm Stainedleaf, the Medicine Cat of RiverClan. Spottedpaw, I promise I'm not causing trouble. Stainedleaf assured as she snagged some Watermint roots with her claws, hooking and pulling them out. Here, take these back to your Leader. That way you can explain what you were doing here. Stainedleaf gave her half of the fragrant herbs, nodding in explanation.

((They're getting all pumped up and ready to attack, all for the medicine cat! XD))
Paintedstar led the way toward the bushes where the noise had taken place. Her muscles were pumped, prepared for anything that was out there. She struck her claws out lighting fast, they left mini dents in the earth every step she took.
Thank you! Spottedpaw meowed graciously. I Think my medicine cat would like these.......things. She had no idea what they where called or what they did, but she didn't really care. Spottedpaw lay them next to her feet and continued, What is it like to be a medicine cat? She thingyed her head slightly, and waited for a reply.
