The tom had been hard at work for Starclan knew how long, and he was quite ready to stop. Seasons he thought vehemently, though of course it was a mere fabrication on his part; he'd actually only been working in the den, sorting herbs and other supplies for the umpteenth time, categorizing what was going low, what he had too much of, and what was getting too old to be used.
Out of juniper berries and oak leaf, low on yarrow, thyme, honey, and poppy seeds, and I'll need some more honey soon. he mentally reviewed, and grimaced. Yay, herb gathering and what not, that was his favorite thing. Actually, that was a lie, obviously enough. Ghostheart was not a huge fan of herb gathering, being much more inclined to share tongues with starclan or heal injuries. And he was so lazy about it. Herb gathering was actually one of the very few things that the medicine cat procrastinated on, and, unfortunately, such things tended to have concequences; for instance, he was now low on several important herbs, and cobwebs were very important. Of course, he still had some thick meadow grass, so bleeding was too much of an issue. Still... oh, and nettle. He was always needing nettle; the plant just didn't seem to like the Shadowclan lands...
Ghostheart's eye was caught by a small flickering motion near his feet, and his sharp, practiced eyes quickly pin-pointed that which had attracted his already easily-distracted attention. It was a small beatle, brown and black in color, and it was obliviously crawling toward the entrance of the den.
It was a funny little thing, Ghostheart thought, and he crouched down to observe it more closely. "Why, hello," he greeted the insect with false cheer, and was slightly surprised with the beatle skittered slightly and picked up the pace. "Hmmm," he said questioningly as he followed the beatle out from under the rock shelter and into the camp clearing.
notes: this thread is totally open, and yes, very scholarly of Ghostheart XD Do not be alarmed, however! This is sheer boredom on his part talking~!
