Hawkjaw stared at Deerleg, wondering if he hadn't realized at all that the fox attack had been so detrimental. "Yes." He answered, trying to lock eyes with the tom. "The fox attack was worse than we thought it would be but Skystar and the rest of the patrol are doing well. And this injury," he paused, looking at his shoulder momentarily," is really nothing to worry about. I wanted to talk to some cat about starting to patrol around the gorge.I think we will start patrols tomorrow but I need some patrol headers." He stopped himself, wondering if Deerleg was the cat for the task. He was an awkward cat, sure, but Hawkjaw felt that giving him this chance to prove himself a stronger warrior would improve his confidence by bounds. He nodded slowly, "Yes," he said aloud, "I want you to take a patrol near sundown. No more than five cats, no apprentices and try to only take one small cat." He commanded kindly. "Who do you think you'd pick for something like that?" He asked, he wanted to test Deerleg's abilities.

Deerleg looked scared for a small heartbeat then looked back down to his paws. He thought carefully, wondering exactly who would be capable of the job with the restrictions Hawkjaw had placed. Including me... "Uhm... maybe, Thunderfoot, Goldenstrike... and Icestorm?" he had said no more than five, but given several circumstances, he figured the group of toms would stand a decent chance as a patrol for such a task.

Hawkjaw pondered for a second the cats Deeeleg had picked. Thunderfoot, Goldenstrike... Icestorm. Yes, they're all capable toms. He perked up, smiling at Deerleg. "Yes, they will work just fine." He purred. "I want you to round them up and warn them tomorrow. Though i don't think we have anymore threat of a fox they should still know what the patrol is for. I don't want you all to go in the gorge, however." He stressed the word, shivering with the memory of Paintpaw being drug from the gorge entrance by Skystar.

Deerleg nodded, still kind of unsure. He was rarely requested to lead patrols, even though he was one of the older warriors. He didn't mind any of it, to be honest; he was happy to help when and where he was needed. I'm sure any of the cats I named would be better to lead a patrol... he thought. I'll trust the deputy though... if he has faith in me. "Have they been in camp recently? What has Skystar... said?" He was curious, but he was still nervous.

Hawkjaw hunched his shoulders, head hanging a bit to rest his shoulder. "Skystar called a meeting recently to tell cats to stay in camp unless on a patrol. To help everyone stay safe. I think he is confident that the initial patrol distinguished the threat but..." He trailed off. "We don't want what happened to Paintpaw to happen to anyone else." He finished strongly. "I have faith in your patrol tomorrow, that you all won't run into anything. The patrols are precautionary." He looked toward the sun, which had finally slid beneath the trees and left the sky looking deeper blue and glory. Stars were beginning to speckle the sky. "I'm sure those cats you named are in camp."

"So... before sundown, tomorrow?" he asked for a confirmation. He looked around, wondering where they could possibly be. "What... uhm, who's out on a patrol now? Is... is Robinwhisper?" He felt anxious and then mouse-brained for having mentioned a cat by name. He felt his pelt grow furiously hot, knowing there was no way to get himself out of the hole he had just dug.

Hawkjaw stared, a bit bewildered by his question where his old apprentice was. Robinwhisper never knew her father, and Hawkjaw felt a certain affinity for the she-cat that could only be described as paternal instincts kicking in. Robinwhisper returned this affinity by acting as Hawkjaw's surrogate daughter. "Yes... before sundown." He confirmed, then looked at the tom in a new light. "Robinwhisper just took a hunting patrol out. Do you need her? She wasn't one you named to go on the gorge patrol, right?" Hawkjaw knew he hadn't misheard the cat but he thought teasing the tom a bit without Deerleg realizing could only be a laugh for him.

Oh my StarClan, you mouse-brained-- Deerleg felt like he was going to keel over and die right then and there. His heart was racing so fast he was sure it would tire and stop after the next one. He gave a suddenly exhausted look to Hawkjaw, feeling beaten by himself. "N-no... I just uhm, was having a conversation with her about... about Paintpaw," he lied. "I-I know she must be feeling awful."

Hawkjaw felt a pang in his chest for Robinwhisper when Deerleg mentioned Paintpaw. His tone changed from cheerful to a bit solemn. "Oh. yes ... She'll be back in camp soon I hope." He looked at the sky again. "It's getting late. Maybe you and I could go find her." He flicked his tail towards the camp entrance. "If you like." He finished, his deep mew resonating in the crisp night air.

[LOL Deerleg sets himself up for a crash and burnnnn]
Deerleg was very disappointed in himself at this point. He had used Paintpaw as an excuse when he knew that Robinwhisper probably felt really poor about the whole incident. He felt awful using the apprentice as his go-to. Unable to say no, he slowly padded forward after Hawkjaw. "Y-yeah... okay." Hopefully Hawkjaw won't mention it to her... She's been pretty nice to me so far, I wouldn't want to make her hate me already, he sighed, sending a glance back to camp.

Leading their way out of camp,Hawkjaw padded slowly. His shoulder wound wasn't giving him trouble but he wasn't ready to go full speed yet. Deerleg was nice company, he felt like he didn't have to speak much to get his point across. He enjoyed the chance to find Robinwhisper, it gave him something to do besides feel useless in camp. He paused in the forest, casting a glance to Deerleg. "I can smell her. We must be downwind from her and close." He sniffed again. He could smell more Groveclan scent but wasn't sure of the cat it was. "Lead the way, Deerleg. My shoulder is giving me trouble."
--- ( LOL Hawkjaw approves but he's gonna be a butthole and play with Deerleg AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.. And Robinwhisper is gonna be all "omg i like him but wait casperrr but dad approves of Deerleg.. blah blah blah")))))

(just so you don't have to scroll to find it) Oh thank you i never saw this!!!)))) Robinwhisper watched Brokennose with intensity. She wished it had been her that chased after the rabbit. His sudden exclamation caused her to jump back, eyes wide. "What??" she yowled, rushing out from the bush she was stationed in. "What do you even mean by that?" She was so puzzled. How could any cat not have smell?

Deerleg felt like a ball of fire as he scented Robinwhisper. He had no thought at all of what to say to her when they actually found her. "Oh! I-I'm sorry for... being inconsiderate about your shoulder," he meowed apologetically. He grimaced at the sight, feeling pretty bad that he had the deputy accompany him. "Sure, I'll... I'll do that," he said, keeping his pace slow as he lead the way and followed the scent. For two reasons: Hawkjaw's injury and his own inability to keep himself from having a panic attack about thinking how he'd screw up in front of her.

Hawkjaw noticed Deerleg slowing a bit, and marked it up as him being considerate of his injury. Suddenly, he heard a loud yowl from who sounded like Brokennose. He stopped and cast a quick look to Deerleg. "Are they in trouble?" He exclaimed, "we need to find them now!" He dashed in the direction of the voice.

Deerleg was taken aback and now he had fear to add to his anxiety. He bolted after Hawkjaw, hoping and praying to StarClan his clanmates were safe. As he ran, he kept his senses on high alert for Robinwhisper. I can't smell any blood... please be safe, he thought, his heart racing continuously, but mostly for her safety

[Lol don't worry Whisperwing, Casper loves desperate ]
The cream colored tom shook his pelt at the thought of getting his hair torn off. He never really was one for upfront and physical conflicts. "I might look good hairless, right? I'd probably stay cool in the warm season," he said, chuckling. He looked at her again. "Yeah, sure thing, sweetheart. I'll be around. If you want to see me again, I'll be over towards that burned area in the forest. I don't see a lot of your patrols over there, so it might be safer for me to stick around. Just call out for me; I'll be there around sunset every so often. Don't get in trouble with your friends, now." Whisperwing laughed softly, βthatβs one way to look at it,β she mewed, admiring the Tomβs soft cream coat in the moonlight. βThe burned part of the forest? Uh, yeah, I can do that. Want to meet there tomorrow night?β She asked. She hadnβt been to that part of the territory since the fire, but she figured it was as good a meeting place as any. He did have a point: data rarely went there. βThanks again. It was nice meeting you Casper,β the pretty She cat said, before picking up the stems and heading back into camp through the back entrance.

"Lovely meeting you, too, Whisperwing," he called after her in a quiet tone, nodding after her. His face still held a light, innocent smile as he turned and padded away into the dark forest. He heard a yowl almost immediately as he did so. They sure are being noisy at a late time today, he thought to himself. He paused momentarily, looking in the direction. Guess it's time to take another risk, he thought. He slowly krept into the direction he had heard the cat yowl from, making sure to keep himself silent and downwind.
