Poppypaw was meant to be on a hunting trip. Echostar had been so busy with her new leadership duties that she had been letting her go on a few solo assignments while she settled into her new position for a few days, and Poppypaw was glad that her mentor trusted her to work on her own training now that she was a couple of moons into her apprenticeship. But that only made her feel guiltier that she wasn't exactly doing what she was supposed to be doing. She'd overheard Whispermoon talking to one of the queens about what herbs she would need to stock up on before Driftfire's imminent kitting, and when Poppypaw had wandered past one of the plants in question she hadn't been able to resist collecting a few leaves for her. She could take prey and herbs back to camp, she told herself repeatedly. It just meant she was helping everyone in camp.
That didn't completely stop the guilty voice in her head that continued to nag her for every second that she continued taking leaves off of the bush. As a result, when she heard the sound of someone behind her she couldn't help but jump in surprise and whirl round to face whoever it was, embarrassment written all over her face.

It wasn’t rare for Rubyspark to walk around by herself now. It helped her clear her mind and focus less on her loss of Peatblossom. It didn’t mean she was any less able to butt into conversations or play around though, and she was glad she didn’t lose her touch.
She was padding along without much direction when she caught scent of a clanmate. It took her a moment to identify her as Poppypaw, and she drew closer on quiet paws. It didn’t take her long to come across the apprentice, and she paused a distance away to watch her without being seen. She wasn’t sure what she expected, but it wasn’t what she found. Rubyspark had to stifle laughter when she saw Poppypaw pulling leaves off of a bush. She closed the gap without being quiet this time, and as she expected, the apprentice whipped around with a nice mortified expression. Rubyspark didn’t try to hide her smirk. “I didn’t know AspenClan was hunting bushes now.”
