BRAND NEW BEGINNING ☆ o, nightmare

[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

Drugs. On some level, Rhinestone wanted to claim that he had never tried them, but he knew that wasn't entirely true. After all, most of the things that medicine cats provided were technically classified as drugs, since they had an effect on the body, or the mind. He had gotten injured before, and had eaten a poppy seed, or had his wounds wrapped. However, he was fairly sure that the drugs the pair were talking about simply weren't the same. Quasar was doing an awful job of covering for himself, but the tom found that he couldn't really be too terribly angry. After all, there had been a period before the merger, when the pup had been left alone, struggling without parents and needing to protect himself and his brother. It was only natural that he would turn to outside help, even if Rhine didn't approve of it too much. He decided to let it slide for the moment, not the least because he simply didn't have the energy to scold the boy. Instead, he just found himself muttering, "I suppose that could work. I've never tried anything like that for sleeping... never wanted to bother the medicine cats for something so trivial." They had more important things to do, like healing wounds and curing sickness. Not combating nightmares.

Vaas's approach was well timed, but not particularly surprising. The tiger had been around often as of late, something that Rhinestone very much appreciated. Not only that, but the other male also had a personal investment in Quasar, considering the apprentice also came from the boardwalk. Turning his gaze towards Vaas, Rhine cleared his throat before speaking, his claws briefly digging into the sand of the camp below him, "A dreamless sleep would be... nice. If only so that I could have energy for my tasks tomorrow..." It wasn't as if he really had important dreams. He wasn't the type to have Starclan visiting to deliver him prophecies, so he wasn't worried about missing out on that. The rust red feline's normally colorless gaze was a dark blue in the night, focusing on his own den as he questioned, "Does this thing for sleeping without dreams... does it have any side effects?" He needed to know, considering he didn't wanna deal with anything too adverse. If he was trying to have energy for tomorrow, he didn't want hallucinations, or anything like that.
