"We do try to eat," Raoul called back at her. "I go all faint if I don't get fed regularly. Only think of the disgrace to the Kiing's Own if I fell from the saddle."

Believe me, Leafpaw, one day you will make a wonderful medicine cat—perhaps even as good as Spottedleaf.” Leafpaw’s eyes flew open. She had heard many stories of the gifted young medicine cat who had been killed not long after Firestar had joined ThunderClan.
