ooc// Lolz! You mean ZombieGrail, right?
R: Tawnyspots looked up at her friend, confused. She sighed and padded away.
Aquaheart looked after Billowcloud. "But--" she started but knew it was no use. She wanted to speak with Tawnyspots, her clanmates, everyone!
Talonscar's gaze slashed accross the camp, seeing Aquaheart as she normally is. He hadn't heard anything about committing suicide.

ooc: Zombiegrail? What? What does she have to do with this?
R: Satisfied once Tawnyspots finally left them well enough alone, he looked back over his shoulder. Perhaps disappointed that she wasn't going to try to run away, he felt monotony engulf him. He knew that life is full of dull moments, but this was too dull for his taste.
Picking through the piles of assorted herbs since the medicine cat--whose name and face he had eternally and shamefully forgotten--was away, galloping to StarClan-knows-where in broad daylight for everyone to see. Scrunching up his face, he gingerly clenched down on a few shreds of thyme and tried not to swallow two poppy seeds. Padding back, he noticed with an inward groan of frustration that Tailglades hadn't yet returned. Shaking his head, he merely placed the herbs before Aquaheart.
"Here."

ooc// the medicine cat, Zombiegrail. Right? What happened to him?
Aquaheart slowly and bitterly ate the herbs. "Where should I be? Hunting?" she asked, but she was suddenly getting sleepy.

ooc: Oh, okay, I see. He's still around (at least I think). Since Kala isn't here, though, I thought I'd have something included in the rp about him going on some trip to explain why he wasn't in the den (thus, why he didn't talk to Billowcloud).
"Hush," he whispered, pacing back and forth while waiting for Tailglades to arrive with the branches. What was taking her so long? Didn't she have any concept of the notion of time? Shaking his head, Billowcloud perused his paws. When had he torn a claw? So many questions rushed through his mind (mostly pointless).
When at last Tailglades trailed back over to the outskirts known as Billowcloud's post, Billowcloud had about lost all patience. "Where have you been?" he furiously snapped in a furtive whisper. "Help me make a nest, first of all. We'll work on the den later."
Nodding, Tailglades was much quieter than usual. Bunching the twigs together, she fastened them with mud. Constructing until they had both felt that they had formed a comfortable enough nest for the she-cat, Billowcloud placed it next to the drowsy Aquaheart. Gently rolling her over with one paw into the nest, Billowcloud couldn't help but feel proud of the efforts they had made to get her back onto the road to recovery.

Aquaheart moaned. "I'm fine, I promiiissseee yooouuu..." she whispered, her voice getting slower.

Nudging her, Tailglades placed a paw over Aquaheart's ear. "Ssh," she silenced her. "Get some sleep."
Motherly for once, Billowcloud found himself helplessly attracted to her. It was as if he was falling in love with Slivermoon reincarnated, back when Slivermoon was even-tempered and sweet and innocent. In fact, he felt that he could move on, that he could forget about his ex-love once and for all. He knew in his heart that it would appease her, make her happier.
"I love you," he murmured, not realizing entirely what he was saying.
Blinking, she stared down at the ground, at Aquaheart, her paws, and, finally, into his eyes. "I'm sorry, Billowcloud. That's very...sweet of you, but...I...um...I don't love you. I'm sorry. I don't think that I could ever feel the same way about you, and I hope you're not too heartbroken."
He had never heard her be as solemn as she now was, and that was what pained him perhaps the most. Had she just mrrow!ed it all off and called him a fool, he would've felt much better. This wasn't the she-cat he had imagined. Then again, he couldn't say that he had expected her to return that love. But a simple scoff or I'm-ignoring-what-you-just-said-for-the-sake-of-both-of-us look would have sufficed. "I understand," he weakly mewed, voice utterly broken. In his attempt to hide his dismay--little did he know--he deeply wounded Tailglades, who had hoped to gently let him down. His obvious pain and attempt to disguise it cut through like a thorn through her pad.

Aquaheart was faintly awake as this happened, he eyes slits that barely saw it all. It suddenly flashed that same thing in her mind from earlier. Who in the name of StarClan is he? she wondered droopily and then blacked out.

ooc: Billowcloud better not have killed her. If cats could sue--especially medicine cats--he would be charged with fraud or trespassing on private property or something.
"Let's build the den, then." Carrying the remaining branches, he sunk down and began to attach them. "I'll do one side, you do the other."
Again, she merely nodded and set to work. It was like some sort of extra medicine cat den but for psychological problems, she realized. Maybe they should make a new rank just for Billowcloud--he could be both deputy and a healer of the mind. Or maybe she could. Perhaps if she asked nicely, she would be granted such a position. She had always sort of envied Billowcloud for being able to fulfill such an important rank.

ooc// Oh god no, he didn't. Don't worry.
Aquaheart kept moaning as she had flashes of 5 kits and one strange tom with wings like glaciers...

ooc: I thought so. I was partly joking, lawl. I think Zombiegrail would be mad if he found out that Billowcloud had just waltzed into his den and taken a random assortment of herbs (that might have been an overdose) without knowing much about herbs.
R: Feeling pity for the writhing she-cat, Tailglades could only try to fathom what kind of peculiar nightmares she must be having after her accident. Licking the side of her pelt, she sat beside her and listened for any dangerous signs of deep disturbance of trauma. "Rest easily, Aquaheart," she mumbled, barely audible.
As Billowcloud noticed exasperatedly that Tailglades had stopped working, he prepared himself for a yelling match. Going back over to her, however, all of his anger was replaced with compassion for this wonderful she-cat whom he didn't deserve in the slightest. StarClan bless her soul. With that, he returned to his side of the soon-to-be-built den, watching from the corner of his eye with fascination, nevertheless.

Aquaheart kind of made random and funny faces in her sleep as the poppy seeds had been a little of an over dose. She only had flashes of times when she was with the strange tom and the five kits, one looking mysteriously a lot like her.

By the time the sun had finally risen, signifying the next day, the two of them had fully completed their task. Before them lay a modest but adequately-sized den, perfectly suited for recovering trauma victims. "I can't believe we finished it this fast," an exhausted Tailglades muttered. Eyes swollen and glassy, they had literally spent the entire night ensuring that Aquaheart and her nest could be moved into it effective-immediately.

Aquaheart woke up drousily. She saw the to sleepy. "Both of you, go back to camp and rest," she meowed and her head fell down. She started to snore.

They turned to face this outburst. Seeing no point in talking back to a sleeping cat who could have suffered pyschological trauma, they did as they were told. Parting their separate ways, as they reached their nests, they didn't so much as bid each other farewell.

Aquaheart woke up later and it was Sunhigh. She rushed to camp and grabbed fresh-kill from the pile, and ate it alone. She then sunned herself.
