The Scrawny brown body of the medicine cat apprentice was currently crouched on the cool floor of medicine cat's den lower level. Somehow the herbs had gotten all mixed, and it was like an itch that he had to scratch when he saw it. Now his paws methodically shifted piles of leaves and berries to one side, focusing on the barks and roots at the moment, pushing the ones that had to sit for moons yet into the back of the crevice where they wouldn't get pulled out by accident.
The older ones, ones that could be used if needed would be placed to the side and somewhere near the front. The berries followed, and then he focused on the leaves.
They were a tangled mass of different scents and plants and when he tried to dicipher them by scent alone it made his head spin. A Chervil leaf would be seperated from the pile after he took a wif of clean air. Then followed by several Daisy leaves, then dandelion a moment later.
He shifted into the rythm, seeming to zone out as he focused upon the task at hand. He made sure everything was neat, everything was with it's own and they were all put away neatly. He swept around to go, and his tail knocked over half of the work he had just done.
"mousedung" he growled, and turned, redoing what he had just finished minutes before. Wait. Where did the Chervil go?
Great... just great.
He stood, a sour look on his face. Paws then led him to sit outside the den for a moment. Sunkmist wasn't here, and they might need some. Long tail twitched, unsure of what he should do. He wasn't even sure if they had any root.
He'd go quickly, and be back before anything happened right ? Yeah. Little did he know, the Chervil leaves were laying right where his paws had been. Oh well, now they'd have more. Just no one better mess it up.
