"Honey is rare and it is great for infections and for cats who have breathed in smoke."

"Not just cats who have breathed in smoke, but cats with soar throats in general" Lightskies said. Now she looked at Dovekit, "What do we use bindweed for?" She asked.

Dovekit searched her memory for bindweed. "You use it to keep sticks in place when mending broken bones," she supplied.

Melody flinched as she realized her mistake and looked down at her paws worriedly.

"Correct" she said. The white deputy looked at Lightningstar, not sure if she should test them a little more or they should collect herbs. Deciding the former would be better, she continued. She knew that neither of them could know the extensive uses of herbs, so she would begin to get into more complicated herbs they would know soon. However, she would do a few more easy ones. "Melody, what are the uses of burdock roots, and what does the plant look like" she asked, adding slightly more to the question. The main use of dock was pretty easy to remember, however she highly doubted that the kit knew what it looked like, as it didn't seem to grow near the Thunderclan camp, rather in more open spaces.

"Burdock root is used to cure rat bites and cures infections. It is a tall thistle with dark leaves," she mewed immediately.

She was pretty surprised, well, she would have to make it much harder for Melody's next question. "Dovekit, what is the use of catmint?" She asked.

lightningstar made note of the determination in these kit's eyes. he could tell how much the both of them wanted the medicine cat role, however the one who stood out most was melody. he could see the perfectionism. the determination. the want and desire to be a healer. she was the one he was afraid of though. because she would stress out over it.

"Catmint is the best cure for greencough and is also effective against whitecough," Dovekit mewed calmly with determination.

Melody tried to smile. She wanted to be happy for Dovekit. She really did. But what's he wanted more was to become the medicine cat.

(Challenge for you two, do not look up the herbs, don't cheat, because where's the fun in that?!)
She smiled slightly, Dovekit was determined yet calm, Melody knew a few things that the other kit didn't from her experience outside of Thunderclan, but she was only really trying to find out what they knew, knowledge wasn't what they needed, that could be taught, but the right personality and the right mind set. Now to move on to something hard. There were a few herbs that weren't usually taught until the basic ones were memorized, ones that weren't needed as much, or simply had easier alternatives. "Melody, what is Celandine, what does it look like, what is it used for, and how is it used?" Even if a question or two didn't seem to call for a certain answer, she wanted to know how the kit interpenetrated the question.

(Dats wat I've been doin- i studied before)
"Celandine has 4 yellow petals and to treat an infected or hurt eye you squeeze the juice out of the prtals and drip it into the injured cat's eye," she mewed. She told herself to calm down, that's he was doin great, but she felt like she wasn't doing enough. She suddenly flashed back to when her father was training her. He had demonstrated on a kit he found wandering the forest. The kit was badly wounded and her father simply left. The kit was on the verge of death, but melody took what her mother had taught her about herbs to save the kit's life. When her mother died, Melody had tried to help her, but she was too badly hurt. She always blamed herself for her mothers death and felt that she could never repay her unless she saved every other wounded cat. She needed to win this. For her mom. Her blue gaze hardened to one full of determination. Her breathing slowed to a faint whisper every few seconds. She was ready. The time had come to show everything her mother had taught her and she felt as if her mothers spirit was watching. She had to win this. For her. For mom. An icy cold calmness swept over Melody as she waited. A smile crept onto her maw as she thought about how proud her mom would be. She tried to push it away to appear more serious, but it stayed. Finally she gave into it and grinned. She was doing whatshe loves. She was happy.
