In her defense, she'd had several little one-night stands before, all of which had been quite a bit younger and easier on the eyes than that old bat of a leader. That Thornstep, even if his rotten children were completely unwanted...well, he'd been quite handsome, despite the fact that he was lacking a whole-ass tail. "I've had handsomer flames." The red she-cat grunted harshly. It was no secret that Vixenleap was exceptionally flirtatious towards toms she found attractive. However, the clan was still in the dark in the whole "two other litters" ordeal. And it'd stay that way. She'd take her secrets to the grave. "His head is full of nothing but hot air and rocks, Sagewhisker. Give him time. Lynxstar will do something fucking stupid."

She narrowed her sharp pair of hazel eyes when the medicine commented on how the procedure shouldn't hurt. Oh, if he caused her any ounce of comfort, she'd pay it back in tenfold. He might've been a medicine cat, but she'd have him really begging to meet his ancestors after she wrung his neck. "And you sure as hell will learn it again if you go 'n piss me off." Vixenleap hissed as she shifted in the nest to try to get more comfortable, preparing herself to be poked and prodded as the white tom attempted to gain information on her unborn kits.

The warrior rested there, albeit impatiently, as Sagewhisker tried to decipher the elements of her and Lynxstar's kits. Her ears slowly began to flatten against her skull, as if a subtle warning for the medicine cat to move his ass along. What was taking him so long?

As she slowly unsheathed her claws, Vixenleap began to debate on swatting him a good one until he finally spoke up with the results. "The hell you mean you don't know what they are?" A fire element like herself was great and all, but two mysteries? Wasn't this his job? "You going color blind? What's next- you forget how to pull a thorn out of a pad?" She sneered with an impatient tapping of her tail, beginning to feel the urge to swipe him intensify. All this waiting for nothing!

Hell no, she didn't have the patience for some blubbering apprentice to poke and prod! She was a well-equipped warrior, not some training program for his little apprentice. "I'm a kick-ass warrior, Sagewhisker, and if you doubt that for a moment...I'll happily remind you. I'm not some experiment for you and your little nerd friends to play with!" Vixenleap sat up abruptly, her patience growing thin and her belly ache slowly beginning to return. And the thought of some DarkClan fool touching her? "I'd rather spend another night with Lynxstar than let some mud-sucking DarkClanner look at me."

She wanted to reject those herbs so badly, but she couldn't bear another day with the persistent sickness. With an irritable twitching of her tail, Vixenleap half-heartedly devoured the herbs he offered her to hopefully relieve her of the illness. Earth elements with a high affinity for their elements would be something to be proud of, but a new element? It sounded like codswallop, like Sagewhisker was just trying to save his own tail. They already had that new Light element running around, she doubted that any new element would crop up any time soon. "Probably look brighter 'cause the little bastards are sucking the life out of me." The queen commented bitterly as she finished up the chervil.

Miserably, Vixenleap slowly raised herself and her swollen body to her paws before venturing towards the den's exit. She was doubtful that a little bundle of herbs could do much. She'd never known such pain. "...I'm sure I'll be back. Try not to miss me too much."
