Koishade kept her head low and focused as she walked with the rest of the patrol. She wasn't sure if they'd get away with what they were going to do at Sunningrocks.
Earthstar watched the patrol leave. He hoped that every cat that he sent would return without injuries.
Glacierkit poked his head out of the nursery, getting almost too big to stay there. Would the patrol come back victorious? He really wanted to see Sunningrocks.

(Let's get this show started!)
RIVER-
Diamondheart glanced around carefully as the patrol slipped towards Sunningrocks. Thunderclan's scent markers were there, and yet Diamondheart knew that would not be a deterrent. He stepped towards the river, slipping into the water as he ordered to the patrol. "Crookedpaw, Fluffpaw, you'll be marking the edge of the rocks near the center. That way you have the safest route if we do have a conflict. Stormsplash, Paleeyes, spread out and mark down the reeds. Koishade, Ottermask, you're with me on the rocks. Make it clear that we're marking our territory." He guided his patrol into the water, the current weak enough to easily wade towards the rocks.
Fluffpaw simply nodded at her father's orders, though she glanced at Crookedpaw with a look of appraisal, before silently slipping towards the edge of the rocks. Perhaps Crookedpaw would be interested in their ideas if Thunderclan happened to show up and offer a harsh fight.

Koishade gave a nod, sticking close to the deputy. She was fine with this. Diamondheart would know how to confront ThunderClan if they did show up.
(woop!)

Ottermask nodded curtly to the deputy and remained at his side as they headed for the rocks. The river was cool when they slipped into it, but Ottermask kept his eyes open for signs of ThunderClan.

Diamondheart's eyes flickered over towards Fluffpaw and Crookedpaw a few times as he slipped from the water and onto the warm stones. Sunningrocks felt divine, and the tang of newly growing plants recovering from the fire would be useful for Specklecreek and Kingpaw if Riverclan faced any injuries. He pulled himself up onto the highest stone, marking the rocks with a calm nod.
---
Frostmoon padded confidently through the forest, appreciating how the territory seemed to be getting its growth back. Even so, she knew it was still prey-scarce, even in the mostly peaceful greenleaf that was passing. She glanced back at her patrol, grateful that they were following her lead. If only Ghostscreech could see her...She shook her head, not sure why she kept thinking that, beyond her beginning to understand that what she felt was grander than friendship. She needed to focus!

Crookedpaw bounced after Fluffpaw. He was so excited to be on such an important patrol! Taking back sunning rocks! “I can’t believe we were chosen.” He boasted softly as he moved to mark the rocks.
— Redtooth felt a flicker of fear as they approached Sunningrocks. He was always nervous around the Riverclan border. What if he saw his kits? Even worse what if he had to fight his own kits in battle? He didn’t know if he could handle that. He tried to push that away. He couldn’t let his loyalty waver.

Ottermask was stone lower than Diamondheart and marking his scent on it. So far, so good. If they were lucky, a ThunderClan patrol wouldn't realize they'd taken the stone until after they were long gone. Ottermask scanned the clearing. With the new growth, this would be a great place to hunt voles and even fish in the river. He'd have to suggest a hunting party later if they were successful.
~~~
Sootclaw had his mouth parted in constant scenting of the air. It had been so long since Cricketsun left. Since Shadeclaw chased him out. Surely, he's got to come back. If he could just figure out which direction his son had gone, he knew he could bring him back home.

Stormsplash followed behind the patrol, the senior warrior staying at the back to keep an eye out for any dangers from behind. "I hope this goes smoothly." he mumbled to no one in particular.

"All these moons, Riverclan and Thunderclan have fought over these rocks. And now, you get to be a part of that long history, yes?" She asked him, tail flicking slowly as she marked the edge of the rocks. "You deserve it, Crookedpaw. You've worked really hard."

Crookedpaw nodded his head as he marked along the rocks towards the bottom. “It’s exciting. I hope Thunderclan comes and finds us. Then maybe we will get to be in our first real battle.” He lashed his tail. He was itching to try the battle moves his mentor taught him.

Frostmoon approached towards the border with a spring in her step, though that suddenly stopped when a barrage of Riverclan scent invaded her nose. The fur along her back rose up tersely, and she lifted her tail quickly to signal for the patrol to stop. "Riverclan." She grunted. "Their scents are too strong to be this close. Are they...?" She trailed off, only to widen her eyes and narrow them sharply again as she saw a splash of white through the trees, against the silver of the stones.
---
Diamondheart's eyes grazed along the border, only to pause and focus on a single point in the undergrowth. The movement of the new growths indicated that something was approaching. The deputy lifted his tail and called down firmly to his patrol. "We have company."

Sorry for the poof.)
Paleeyes moved through the reeds quietly, marking her scent along the new border.
Eclipsepaw followed after the patrol, looking around the territory and noticing the regrowth. She gave a light smile, glad the forest was returning to its natural state. She stopped at Frostmoon’s signal and pricked her ears, scenting the air at the strong RiverClan scent

Sootclaw's eyes narrowed when he caught the RiverClan scent. He saw how Frostmoon froze up and a growl escaped his throat. "Well don't just stand there! We have to chase them out!" Sootclaw ran forward, shoving into Frostmoon for her to get going.
~~~
Ottermask curled his lip. Of course it wouldn't be easy for them. He kept his place on the rocks, the high ground always being an advantage. Ottermask slid his claws out and followed Diamondheart's gaze to the undergrowth. He lashed his tail when he spotted movement.

Koishade bristled slightly at the sight of the ThunderClan cats. Just great. She raised her head to see how many were there, staying quiet so Diamondheart could confront them.
Slatesight flattened his ears at the overabundance of RiverClan scent. They were here, weren't they? He lashed his tail. They'd better give in without a fight. He didn't want to get involved.

Frostmoon glared sharply at Sootclaw as he nudged her, hissing out. "Hey! I'd be an idiot to go running out there like an apprentice! There's a swarm of them, and a border patrol of us..." She tried to remember Foxheart's training, trying not to let her emotions blind her judgement. She looked at her patrol, asking quickly. "Are we prepared for a confrontation? Because we're going to have one. Right now." She growled, turning back towards the border to slip past the undergrowth. Starclan, she hadn't led a patrol yet that ended up in a dangerous confrontation. She supposed now was a better time than any to start.
---
Diamondheart stood his ground, perching on the top of the rocks with a steady gaze as the Thunderclan patrol began to slip through the undergrowth. He signaled for the patrol to gather back towards the rocks, taking count of who was on the patrol. Frostmoon was leading, it seemed, and the thought made him inwardly sigh. Fighting kin was never easy, but it had never stopped his duty before. Sootclaw, that one would be a challenge, with his age and wisdom in battle. Slatesight...it was still so odd seeing the former medicine cat on patrols...Redtooth, a formidable fighter. That would be another one to watch out for...Lightningstar's new apprentice, that was certainly a surprise. This was well and truly an ordinary border patrol. He prayed that they would be wise today.
Fluffpaw turned quickly, a small grin crossing her lips before she gave Crookedpaw a bewildered look. "Well...it looks like you might get your wish, Crookedpaw. Stick close to me, got it? We can help eachother win." She offered.

Eclipsepaw hurried after Frostmoon and the others, fur bristling at the thought of a fight. She glanced around at the Sunningrocks, looking for others that might be hiding.
Paleeyes crouched in the reeds, waiting for a signal from Diamondheart. She narrowed her eyes on the ThunderClan patrol.

Stormsplash let out a growl as he caught sight of the Thunderclan patrol. He looked towards Diamondheart, ready for a signal.

(Hey guys, I hate to say it, but I gotta go for the night. You can start the fight without me. I can just say that Sootclaw and Ottermask got into it during the battle and Ottermask wins. I'll try to be on tomorrow night, but I can't promise anything.)

Koishade kept close to the deputy, unsheathing her claws. She kept her green eyes fiercely focused on the other patrol.
Slatesight tried to stand his ground, though he was farther behind the other warriors. Maybe he could watch for injuries if a fight started.

(Daww. Night Moon! I'll make the start quick! We can have the verbal spats first!)
Frostmoon squared her shoulders as she took in a breath, looking back at her patrol before she called up sharply. "I take it that Riverclan thinks that they're going to just waltz onto Thunderclan territory and steal Sunningrocks?" Her tail lashed firmly, blue eyes narrowing at her uncle and his patrol.
Diamondheart responded with nothing more than a flick of his tail, his voice as calm as water, but as firm as stone. "Riverclan is reclaiming our territory. Territory that we have allowed Thunderclan to have for far too long. As admirable as your courage may seem, I would find it wise that you not let it make you foolish. Riverclan will be marking our borders, surrounding Sunningrocks. There need be no fight here today, if you so choose. Mark your new borders and return to continue your patrol." Diamondheart listed, eyes unblinking as he stared down at the patrol.
Fluffpaw listened to her father's voice with a twinge of both pride and frustration. Such a strong voice, yet still one that was willing to promote borders and conflict. She looked over at the Thunderclan patrol, eyeing Eclipsepaw.

Stormsplash stood taller, looming over Crookedpaw and Fluffpaw as a signal of strength. He would protect the apprentices as much as he could during the inevitable fight.

Thunder: Eclipsepaw eyed the RiverClan cats warily, her tail lashing. Were they going to fight? She looked to Frostmoon, trying to see what she was going to do.
