Jaywing could smell the herbs in the medicine cat den. He could pick out each individual scent though he couldn't remember the names to all of them. The scents made him a bit confused as he followed Icemoon into the clearing. He was limping worse now, the journey back to camp not helping his wounded shoulder.

[glow=red,2,300]Whitewhisper padded over from where the other 4 arguing cats stood. "Oh dear, what happened to you?"
"He stumbled down the ravine and into a thorn bush." Icemoon replied
"ouch, here" she walked over to her supplies and grabbed a couple Chervil roots, a leaf with some poppy seeds, nettle leaves, and comfrey. "Here, eat these roots, nettle leaves, and seeds, then let me apply this Comfrey."she applied the herb, then left him to sleep. "Don't worry, you'll be fine in a few days."[/glow] |

Jaywing curled his lip, wanting to snarl at her but he found he couldn't. Medicine Cats were chosen by StarClan. No matter how injured his pride was he couldn't argue. He ate the herbs and felt himself growing drowsy.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes later, Jaywing woke and felt someone laying next to him. He bristled in alarm. He was used to sleeping alone in a corner at the back of the warrior den. No he wasn't in the warrior den. Jaywing realized it was Icemoon and relaxed somewhat.
Jaywing moved his head forward until he touched her neck. "Thanks" he murmured.
This surprised Jaywing even thoug he had said it. He wasn't used to help from other cats. Why did Icemoon want to help him so much?

[glow=black,2,300]Icemoon looked at Jaywing with love in her eyes. "Your welcome," she rubbed her head against his neck. "Do you feel better now??"[/glow] |

Jaywing purred. Though he couldn't see he could feel Icemoon shifting next to him.
"A little" Jaywing murmured drowsily. "Why aren't you in the warrior den?"

[glow=black,2,300]"I-- I wanted to stay here with you..." the white she-cat replied, not meeting the tom cat's eyes. "I didn't want you to feel lonely, again..."[/glow] |

Jaywing was surprised by Icemoon's response. Usually no one paid attention to him. Other warriors scorned him for his lack of vision and some claimed he'd die if he ever went into battle. Icemoon actually cared if he was alone.
Slowly Jaywing reached forward until his muzzle touched her fur. He nuzzled her neck gently.
"Thanks Icemoon but no matter what, my world will always be lonely. I'm not fit for anyone, I'm no use to the clan."
There was sadness and regret in his voice but he knew it was true. He had no vision. No one would ever be able to share his world. He could learn all the scents in the world and never know what they looked like. His world would always be a lonely one.
Jaywing got up and using memory and scent, padded out of camp into the forest until he came to a large oak. Jaywing sat at the base and stared blankly down. He half hoped a badger was nearby or maybe a hungry fox....
