BEGINNING OF THE END // sick

[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

The approach of both Honeypaw and Dovah caused Rhinestone to lift his head, tail flicking behind him as he looked the both of them over. They seemed in much better shape than Foamkit was at the moment, a fact which gave him a great deal of relief. At least it seemed to just be a sickness brought on by the sudden cold, rather than something that was spreading. With this in mind, Rhine looked towards Honeypaw before he spoke, sighing, "Some palm sap isn't a bad idea... not sure how great it'll taste, but medicine doesn't always turn out tasting good." Honey definitely would've been better, especially for a child like Foamkit, but most of their supplies were running low as of late. He knew there were plenty in the group that were scrambling to snatch up what little they could before everything completely frozen over, but there was only so much they could do. What honey they did have would have to be saved for later on, when things seemed truly dire.

Turning to Dovah next, Rhine was slightly caught off guard by the curiosity in the other feline's voice. He was so used to the other being slightly clueless, and it was surprising to see him asking questions, as if he were trying to get to the root of the problem. Not that Rhinestone particularly minded that. If Dovah ended up showing more of an aptitude for healing, then he was welcome to take up the practice with a little bit of teaching, especially with the coming winter. However, those thoughts could wait for later, when Foam wasn't sniffling nearby. With a sigh, Rhine explained, "Well, he's been sneezing a lot... I can't imagine that his throat is feeling great, either. Cottontuft might be a bit more knowledgeable about it, since she's his primary caretaker." He had spoken to her a few times before, curiously wondering how the kit's condition was progressing. However, he found himself slightly struggling to come up with that information now.
