Foxflame padded towards Quietshadow's den, ignoring his clanmates questioning glances and murmurs. He looked over his shoulder for a second to make sure Kaelia was still following. He poked his head into the entrance, looking around for the medicine cat. "Quietshadow?"

Kaelia waited silently behind the auburn tom, blinking bemusedly at the odd-looking rock den. Why doesn't this organized lifestyle drive them insane? She was reasonably certain that these 'clan' cats would never take her in - not that she cared. It was pointless to have come, but pointless to have resisted. She heard the tom call something - the name of another cat, probably. Strangely enough, she didn't know his yet.

"Yes, Foxflame?" Quietshadow meowed, getting up and stretching. He approached the warrior and glanced over at the other cat, scenting the air around her with mild interest. For a moment he considered asking who this she-cat was but he decided against it; he didn't want to come off as being rude.

"Hello Quietshadow." Foxflame said warmly, dipping his head to the medicine cat. He knew to respect a cat older than he, especially Quietshadow. He had healed many of Foxflame's wounds from training and the battle with Burntstar. He noticed his curiosity and flicked his tail towards Kaelia. "She tried to drowned herself in the ocean. I had to swim past the big boulder to reach her. She says it's pointless to live, but at least let me bring her back for you to look at her. She swallowed a lot of water." he said, coughing as well to clear his throat before looking to him again. "Can you help?

Icestar heard cats talking and wanted to know what was going on. "Foxflame, who's this?" she asked. She noticed how the she-cat looked out of breath. She could tell she was young and a rouge. "Uninvited guest?" she hissed as she looked at the rouge. Icestar lifted her head high and scanned this she-cat.

Quietshadow pursed his lips and thought for a moment before he turned around and padded off to his stocks. The tom retrieved three herbs: dandelion leaves, catmint, and coltsfoot. "Eat these," he meowed, dropping them in front of Kaelia. The dandelion will hopefully perk her up and the coltsfoot'll be good for her lungs. The catmint should help prevent her from getting cough. Yes, that's right.

Coppertail peered out from the Nursery when he had caught the rogue's scent. He was slightly surprised he could tell the difference between the one rogue and all the unfamiliar AquaClan warriors. Meowing a quick "I'll be right back" to Redwind he slipped out of the den and padded up alongside Icestar. "Greetings Foxflame and friend," he meowed cheerly.

Foxflame smiled tiredly to Quietshadow, dipping his head. "Thanks." he said gratefully, nudging the herbs closer to Kaelia. "Eat up." he whispered, glancing at her before he caught two familiar scents. His old mentor and Coppertail. He turned to face them, dipping his head respectfully. "Hello Icestar. I know we're not to bring rogues back to camp, but..." he continued in telling her about how he had pulled Kaelia out of the water and all. This story was getting old to tell. "I couldn't just leave her. Besides, she wants to be on her way as soon as possible. I'll take full responsibility to my actions too." he said quietly, bowing his head, knowing very well he had broken a few rules.

Coppertail frowned and turned to Icestar. "I see no problem with giving her some herbs and letting her own her way," the ginger tom meowed," The camp is already filled with AquaClan warriors so I don't see how another cat can hurt!" His eyes flashed playfully but it was obvious he was trying to hint that he wanted the other Clan out as soon as possible.

Icestar shot her head over to Coppertail. "I never said she couldn't have any herbs." she hissed. "Get her some fresh-kill, she's starving," she meowed, looking at the rouge's ribs. She looked at Quietshadow, "Larchpaw looking for herbs?" Icestar asked. She had no sight of the apprentice but did have his sent around, couldn't tell if it was fresh or stale.
"Kaelia is it?" she asked calmly. She turned to Foxflame, "can you get her some fresh-kill," she repeated.

Foxflame nodded, padding out of the medicine cat den without another word. He blinked tiredly, padding slowly to the fresh kill pile. He picked up the freshest and largest vole. He brought back to Kaelia and the others, dropping it at her feet. He yawned, trying to hide it though. The swim had really taken his energy. But this was his responsibility. "Anything else?"

Icestar noticed Foxflame had earned some sleep for today. "Go get some sleep, we'll wake you up to gaurd camp at Moonhigh." She meowed with a smile. It was about Dusk right now, and the sun was hotter than ever. "Kaelia, you can sleep here tonight." she offered.
Then she had to think. "Coppertail, organize a patrol, going over to the forest, and do some hunting, bring back fresh-kill." she ordered. Then she thought for a second. "Here, I'll do it and you stay here and keep camp under control." she meowed.
The black she-cat walked out of the muggy medicine cat's den and looked around. She padded up to Thunderpaw. "Want to go on a patrol?" she asked.

Foxflame gave a short nod, dead on his feet. "Yes Icestar." he said sleepily. "If you need anything, just come get me." he said to Kaelia before padding out of the den and heading towards the warriors den. He yawned as he curled up into a circle, enjoying the cool of the den. And soon he was fast asleep.

Coppertail nodded to Icestar, glad she was taking over his duties. Redwind was calling him and it appeared that Shadowsoul had made some new friends. Not more strangers! he thought tiredly. Soon BeachClan would be no better than the Rogue Nest. Sighing, he went to sought out this new problem.

Whoa, looks like this came pretty far without me. -_-
-tries to catch up-
(/ooc)
Kaelia didn't know why she even bothered. She wished she could run away and lie in a hole somewhere, waiting to die, but there was no doubt these ridiculous, organized, violent cats would find her again and drag her back. What's wrong with them, anyway? If I decide I want to leave, there's nothing they can do about it - at least, there shouldn't be.
As more and more cats entered the rock den, her ears drooped. Kaelia despised other cats, and even more despised being with several of them in the same crowded space. It was overwhelming, twisting her mind into knots over and over again until she could barely think. In the midst of her exhausting claustrophobia, someone dropped a few plants by her nose, telling her to...
Eat them? Cats didn't eat plants, did they? What was wrong with them all? What was wrong with her?
It was all so pointless, anyway - might as well do what they asked. Stupid, mouse-brained... what were they called again? Oh yes, clans. After coughing twice, she bent her head and swallowed the herbs, devouring them as she once might have eaten a mouse. They sure did taste strange... strange, but soothing. Kaelia had let nothing soothe her for moons.
She half-listened to the rest of the cats' conversation, taking little interest though she was aware that they were talking about her. When the auburn tom, the first one she'd met, dropped a piece of fresh-kill near her, she looked at it sideways, but took no action.
"Think I want to live?" she muttered flatly.
Nevertheless, she did close her eyes where she was. Sleeping tended to be all she was good for nowadays, anyway.
