[atrb=background,http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/lovelywarriorlynx/foxnose2.png] the ceremony passed quickly, and while foxnose had seen only a handful in his young moons, this one seemed particularly lifeless, but he didn't mind. he was still happy for flamestride of course, and the passing of the former deputy was always bittersweet, but it all happened so quick. it simply flew by! he looked about him as the ceremony was wrapped up just as quickly as it had been called and blinked, as though lost. hm. well that's that, I suppose. he thought to himself, and picked up his stocky frame in order to retreat back to his den, but was caught off guard when thornstar leaped down from his place among the high rocks and greeting him directly, whisking quickly through what it was that he had to say before moving off, foxnose assumed thornstar was always very busy, though with what he would never know. he was no less impressed by the leader's seamless handling of his clan. so, as he dipped off to meet and greet with others, foxnose dipped his head with a fleeting glance after the brown tabby tom before glancing around, wondering if he did indeed have herbs to collect that were in season. alas, it was so early in newleaf! hardly any plants necessary were sprouting, but he supposed that having a look about the territory wouldn't harm him any. after all, he didn't have any patients to look after at the moment- he had plenty of time! the pretty grey tabby that was his 'assistant' for the day popped up before him, ever enthusiastic. foxnose liked hushpad, she was such a sweet little thing! he met her soft green eyes a bit shyly and dipped his head, "g-g-g-great!" he stumbled quite frantically over his speech, and looked away from her, thoroughly shamed. every darn time! "I-I mean l-let's l-l-look for some herbs, sh-sh-shall we?" he mumbled, scuffing a forepaw nervously now upon the ground, then turned and flicked his tail, motioning for the warrior to follow him as he trotted out of camp, dipping his head after the entrance guards on the way. now, what was it that he needed? marigold didn't bloom until later, but he could always use some garlic, and perhaps they could find some preserved oak leaves from before winter. "d-do you kn-now what g-g-garlic looks l-like?" his voice was soft, as if that could disguise his bumbling clumsily over each syllable as he inquired after his pretty clanmate.

[* CAMTIT !]

hushpad smiled at the medicine cat's enthusiasm; it certainly wasn't her favorite thing to do but foxnose was a rather pleasant cat to be around; to hushpad, anyway. the pretty she-cat smiled and allowed a small giggle of excitement to escape her maw before nodding vigorously, tailtip twitching.

ducking after him, hushpad's soft hues scanned the forest, the light bouncing in her eyes. newleaf had barely sprung itself upon them and hushpad was excited for it's inevitable arrival. the forest would be filled with prey, thunderclan would surely gain more members, and the clans would be at peace. this was the season she was living for.

foxnose's meow sounded beside her and hushpad brought herself to attention, tail curling as she tilted her head to think. "garlic, huh?" she meowed, whiskers twitching. her eyes lit as she remembered the plant and it's overpowering bittery taste. "oh! they're the springy leaves with the bulbs beneath them right? do we need the leaves or the bulbs?" hushpad felt somewhat embarrassed asking questions, but she didn't want to look stupid by grabbing the wrong thing.
