Mistyrose raised her head from the creek, she was unmistakable, the half blue grey, half peach golden ex medicine cat, ex murderer of WinterClan turned SunClan warrior. Her story was legendary in the MountainClans and taboo in all other lands. Her story had few secrets as many felt they knew her before ever meeting her. She gave birth to countless litters to boost the troops of WinterClan all while maintaining her career as a medicine cat. She talked back to the old Gods of WinterClan and was said to be the driving force that held them back from entering the clan again. When leaders left without any trace of a deputy she was there was a temporary leader during hardships. If there was any cat that could fly by life unbothered and not tethered down by emotions and sacrifice it was her. So it was no surprise that despite being a SunClan warrior she still actively returned to MoonCreek.

"Are you a medicine cat?" Mistyrose asked. Her voice was unexpected, very monotone with little inflection, it was seductive, but even that was a stretch given how dry her voice naturally or maybe unnaturally came off. The way she looked at Yuki-Oona felt wrong, like she didn't look at her like a person, but this felt natural. Like she had looked at thousands of people the same way before by the way she so easily stared unblinking at first at the medicine cat. "I'm Mistyrose," She introduced herself before standing up, "And I won't disturb you if you need the space for guidance."

"Ah yes, that is unfortunate, when I left for WinterClan I left them with a medicine cat apprentice, Cinnamonswirl. He was trained enough, but he was killed by a predator so unfortunately the Witches of WinterClan were never fully trained. They lack their special ability of being empathists because they didn't have another witch teach them. I was the first witch of my kind and I suppose now technically I'm the last so I sympathize with you on some level," Mistyrose said, but she sounded dishonest from how uncaring her voice came off, but unfortunately that was just how her voice always sounded. Her blue grey tail traced over the frosted earth before looking Yuki in the eyes. Mistyrose's eyes were extraordinary, deep haunting sapphires in one eye and the other was a brighter blue, more turquoise with specks of gold, "If you want me to teach you how to be a medicine cat just ask, don't fish for pity."

"One thing I hear that helps is being comforting, but I only know how to be matter of fact, so unfortunately I cannot teach you that. But to stop bleeding you need large amounts of cobwebs to keep it in, however I do a painful procedure called stitching. This involves cleansing your claws and pine needles. If the patient is bleeding out and cobwebs are not going to hold the blood in I will pierce the skin with holes and thread pine needles into the holes. This is painful and has a lot of trial and error, I try my best to make sure the patient is as numbed as possible so they won't go into shock. However you are in MoonClan so you might need to use another plant than pine needles if none are thick and long enough. Stitching has saved many cats lives though, but you might want to practice on prey as it takes a steady hand and good eye coordination. You should always be standing when stitching to get a birds eye view and the patient should be elevated to help you out. Are you memorizing this? That's another thing if you have poor memory you will do a poor job as a medicine cat because that's all much of it is," Mistyrose said. It didn't help that Mistyrose's voice was monotone, usually there were inflections to indicate what information was very important to remember, but without any tone in her voice it was up to Yuki to guess.

"Unfortunately for me, no, the mountains were too cold for any cleansing supplies to last, I could only extra supplies such as yarrow to decrease likelihood of me infecting them. However, since moving I can tell other clans have access to far more herbs and sensible water temperatures. Is there any stream you can think of that you can go to in summer or winter. Oh, excuse me, in... N- greenleaf or leeafbare that has clean, typically unused water supplies?" Mistyrose asked. Since moving it felt so odd that all the other clans used leaf terms for weather.

"As for the stitching I typically would put mounds of sap at the ends of the pin needles to hold it in place. We also had snow so this help immensely with numbing patients for this procedure."

"Yes, the snow numbs, but water is very dangerous. It needs to freeze. I suggest soaking moss and burying it in cold ground so it can freeze. Water soaks into the fur and instead of numbing can just end up freezing the patient," Mistyrose explained as she studied Yuki carefully, "You're going to need me in MoonClan. This conversation isn't enough for you to keep running back here to meet with me. You need tools to learn, someone skilled to demonstrate before you take on something serious. It's reckless to expect you to be medicine cat any other way. I can mentor you in your clan until I need to have my kits, then you're on your own until they're done nursing."
