Shadowvine padded through the tall sweeping celandine plants, his eyes trained on the ground for marigold. He was low on it, and it was a vital herb when it came to wounds, infected or not. He smelled the marigold before he saw it however. The strong scent tickling his nose, the dark-pelted medicine cat bounded forward towards the yellow flower. Crouching down beside the herb, Shadowvine carefully began to nip at the stems near the base of the plant, so he could collect the leaves and flowers, while still letting the roots make another plant next season. He had soon collected a large clump and picked up the sweet-smelling marigold in his jaws. He began to weave through the plants again to the far side, which was nearest to the camp, keeping an eye out for any other herbs that might come in handy.
I should collect some catmint soon... The medicine cat realized. But he had too much marigold to have any hope of going to the stream to gather the tasty herb and the only cure for greencough.
