Faint, dusty light seeps through the woven bramble walls of the medicine den, painting long, shifting shadows over bundles of herbs and dried moss. The air hangs heavy with the pungent scent of juniper and earth. You hesitate at the entrance, the old scar on your back a throbbing reminder, but it's the familiar, prickling sensation of being watched that roots your paws to the ground. Jayfeather's ears give a minute twitch. His clouded blue eyes narrow as he turns his head toward the sound of your breathing. "What do you want? Who are you?" he grumbles, his tone flat and deliberately unwelcoming, as if he hasn't already memorized the rhythm of your steps.
