The scent of the prey that he had given to the elders that morning still lingered faintly in the smoke tom's speckled nose as he forged on beside his pale grey mentor. He as always, didn't really speak unless to call upon Heronsong for something, nothing else. Whatever else needed would be spoken in the movement of silence. At least for now.

Wolfpaw glanced at his mentor, a question bubbled in his mind, wondering what she had decided to do out here with him today, if it would be hunting or something more battled oriented, whatever it might have been, Wolfpaw was sure he would be able to take it on in order to protect his clanmates, his sisters, his family. Seeing them thrive meant more to him than any personal goals he might be breaking.

A last quick glance at Heronsong came from the orange-eyed apprentice before glancing around at the forestplains. The grasses were rich and deep with the occasional tree casting shadows over the territory as they often did. The shade was probably cooler than the day anyway. But Wolfpaw didn't mind it, even if he did, he didn't intend on saying a word about it.

Heronsong padded alongside her rather new apprentice. Though they had already covered much of the basics in their weeks together, she still couldn't help but compare him to her last--where Duskpaw had been excited and energetic, Wolfpaw was rather quiet, and she felt she had to take guesses as to what he was thinking. In a way, it was a relief. She didn't have to worry so much about reining this one in.

"I'd like to go over something very important today," Heronsong started, rather abruptly. "When we're out in the forest like this, we're obviously a good run away from camp. In certain scenarios, it'll be important for you to know how to treat wounds." 

She paused as they came upon a small patch of puffy orange flowers. "Recognize these at all?"

Wolfpaw nodded in response to his mentor, then his gaze snapped to the small bundle of blooms with a similar hue of his own eyes. He recalled the name, from little 'talks' with Muddypaw, which was mostly just Wolfpaw listen to Muddypaw speak about how it was to be a medicine apprentice. Which was interesting enough to listen to. He thought to himself to see if a name came to his mind when he saw the herb's appearance.

Wolfpaw gave the herbs a sniff, flicking his bushy tail in curiosity before nodding to her. He assumed she expected proof of his knowledge and thought for a moment, words tempting his teeth. The dark smoke tom gave a singular nod. "Marigold. Muddypaw said it looked like that." He murmured, hardly above whispering level as he tried to think of what the herb did, but his mind came up empty. His sister did tell him a lot of herbs are once...

Finally, Wolfpaw's eyes landed back curiously on Heronsong, wondering if he had gotten the herb right by communicated that to the best he could with the expression in his eyes. However... he had a feeling that all this could require a bit more than just one sentence eventually... hopefully he didn't need to chat a lot. Heronsong seemed to be fine with that at least.

Heronsong nodded, appreciating the thoughtfulness the young tom seemed to have with his answer. "Marigold, that's right." She bent to sniff at the flower. "Its very recognizable, luckily, and it's good for keeping wounds clean. If you or your fellow warrior were to get hurt, the petals could be chewed into a poultice, which you can gently rub over the wound."

She snickered at herself. "Obviously, the best practice is to not get hurt in the first place, but accidents always happen."

Wolfpaw listened and nodded as he, in turn, took a sniff at the marigold, taking a moment to remember the smell in the case that he would need it, if he could smell it before he saw it in a dire matter, he would be able to get it to an injured warrior quicker. Hopefully. But hopefully something like that didn't happen anymore, with that rogue gone, he would be able to train safely. At least that is what he hoped.

Heronsong's words didn't go unheard by the tom, hardly anything did, as much as some cats may have thought they did, that he might not be paying attention, he was, he just spoke less, only when he had no other choice, or only when it mattered most. He hoped his clanmates were eventually able to understand that... He glanced up at his mentor with curious orange eyes.

His stare dragged, as if waiting for the silence to be filled, it was something he tended to do to his clanmates, he wanted to know more about them, he was the youngest of them and he wanted to know about them. Since they knew all about his sisters' and his own tale. Short as it was. He tilted his head to the pale she-cat, that same curious look as if he was trying to ask a question that didn't quite reach his lips.

Heronsong nodded at the tom's gaze. For a moment, she paused, waiting for any follow-up questions or comments. She herself had been the rather talkative sort when she was his age, so Wolfpaw's quiet reactions were a little new to her. But at least he had some understanding in his eyes, rather than a vacant, bored look. That was something.

She scanned the area, happily noting a small bush not too far off from the marigolds, this time sporting bright blue flowers. "And look, we're lucky! Over here is some borage." She padded over to the plant, crouching down closer to its base. "The leaves are what you want to memorize. See how they're kind of bristly? The flowers aren't always in bloom, and once Greenleaf comes around, the leaves are what you want to help cover up wounds. Just nip them off the stem treat them as you would marigolds." She looked down at the dark tom, making sure he understood.

Wolfpaw's eyes caught the borage as his mentor's had, the blue flowers were not as stark as the orange petals of the marigold, but the flowers were still noticeable enough to be eye-catching. But then Heronsong spoke of the leaves, the color of the flower didn't matter here, the leaves mattered more than the petals... so it seemed.

However a question still hung in his mouth, his words seemed struggle for an escape as he tried to figured out the wording of what he would say, still nodding to show his understanding at the bristly leaves meaning more than the flowers when it mattered. But then, like a crack of lightening in a quiet sky, he spoke. "What about bleeding? Can the poultices stop that?" h finally asked. If he was expected to heal an injured warrior, the blood would play just as big of a factor as the wound itself... he could imagine. Not like he hoped for the experience himself, but preparation seemed smart enough to pay attention to.

Wolfpaw shuffled closer to his mentor, but kept a safe distance, misplaced worry of crowding her lingered in his mind, however, he just wanted to make sure that she was safe, even if there was no threat to heed, he didn't know what was out there... lurking. If he was expected to know these herbs, he just hoped they did their job when he needed them... if he needed them. With enough hope, he didn't need anyone to get hurt at all. Though the young apprentice doubted that he would be devoid of battles in his lifetime, he just didn't need any now. Especially with the dire need of herbs likes these.
