Snowflower w/ Blackcloud- ShadowfireThe molly shook her head. "No, I haven't heard anything so far. Are you hoping to go?" Her whiskers twitched slightly. Things were certainly going to be awkward there, she had no doubt about that.

Blackcloud (in camp, with Snowflower)
The hunter said to the molly: "No, but if I have a chance I will go anyway.." He looked at the cat's reaction for his nervous feeling. "Try not to show your nervous feeling, Blackcloud" The Galeclan cat talked while thinking, not realizing that he said.

Snowflower w/ Blackcloud- Shadowfire Snowflower tilted her head. "Nervous? Why are you nervous?" She sat down, curling her tail over her paws. I think everyone is nervous, considering our situation. I can't say that I'm not anxious about it all.

"Not sure. What about yours?" Thornpaw responded, not entirely certain whether this encounter was a promising one or not. Still, Thorn welcomed the company. She was much the social cat, and didn't like being alone nearly as much as having other cats around.

(Is anyone open for Mothpaw to interact with? Also I feel like Reedwing should be doing some deputy-ish things so does anyone want their characters to be sent on a hunting/border patrol?)
Palewhisker Patrol With Nettlefang, blu The tom was making good sense to Palewhisker, and she found herself relaxing in his presence. It was nice to have a cat not bitter towards her for her earlier statements, nicer still to finally get the recognition she craved. She realized she hadn't talked to Nettlefang this much... ever, perhaps, and she decided that she liked him. He seemed smart and easy to get along with- and seemed to have much more common sense than the other warriors who she heard sometimes mutter about her under their breaths. And he seemed to understand her concerns and trust her intuition, so naturally she began to trust his. "That sounds wise." She said, trying to sound wise herself. If this cat thought so much of her, she didn't want to let him down. "Very well, I won't mention this to anyone else yet. We will both keep an eye on Shadowstep and if either of us sees anything, lets meet up again and report it right away." She stood a little straighter still as he dipped his head to her so respectfully, the thrill of ambition chasing through her body. Maybe for once things were finally starting to line up... Maybe her dreams were closer than she thought.
(Lol, Greystar thinking 'wow, Nettlefang and Palewhisker are in love' meanwhile Nettlefang is thinking 'wow this girl has a single braincell rattling around' and Palewhisker is thinking 'This tomcat absolutely kisses the ground I walk on, as he should' lolololol
Also I love that plan, as long as LMM doesn't think Shadowstep talking to some cat from Mossclan wouldn't be out of character for him, I think it would be fun!)
Nettlefang (With Palewhisker, patrol) Nettlefang gave a final dip of his head to the molly's order and got to his feet. He had Palewhisker wrapped around his paw - full of belief that she was was destined for greatness and that he had no greater purpose in life than to help her achieve it. A twinge of joy pricked at him as he thought of how well he'd managed to get his plan started. All that was left to do was to find some dirt on Shadowstep which would prove his involvement with the massacre, and then his real plan could well and truely begin. (ahahaha i DIED at the 'maybe for once things were finally starting to line up' XD Poor girl has no idea what he's planning I feel so bad for her !!!) ( Little meow meow I couldnt find a reply from you but I might have missed it, sorry if this is a repeat! But just wanted to check if you're cool with Shadowstep talking to a Mossclan patrol? We could play it as entirely coincidental that he meets one while hes out hunting, or he could have a real reason for seeing them? Up to you!)

Birchheart • Tom • FighterLocation: Galeclan Camp with Hyliaecho, Ivyspot, Crowpaw, Featherpaw, & Firepawdaydreams Dark Junospower The large ginger nodded his gratitude to Ivyspot upon hearing his agreement, glad for the extra paws on such a somber task. "Thank you, Ivyspot." he began before gesturing towards Hyliaecho, "We'll be following Hyliaecho. She and Thorneyes found a place by the Heather Beds where the apprentices will be digging out the graves." Acknowledging the dark gray apprentice approaching with a flick of his ear, Birchheart only addressed the young cats when Featherpaw and Firepaw followed behind soon after. "You three will be accompanying Hyliaecho while me and Ivyspot follow behind. Make sure to listen to her and keep an eye out for anything strange on the way."
With their little group gathered up, the warrior turned his attention back to Hyliaecho herself briefly with a calm, "Lead on." before gesturign for Ivyspot to join him with collecting the bodies. "You only need to take Brindlestream." the ginger explained, gesturing to the smallest of the three cats before carefully nudging and shifting snowtooth's body over his own back, a little awkwardly with the stiffness of the long cold bodies. With that accomplished, he then collected Robinflame by his scruff, prepared to followthe she-cat once she set off. (( I'll post for Featherpaw and Firepaw once we get a response from Daydreams. blu If Reedwing wants to yeet Shadowstep out with a few other warriors on one task or another id be down for it, He just left the warrior's den. As for him getting caught with a Mossclan patrol, I'd be down for it but only after the gathering. His reasoning would be catching scent of Lionfang (Likely after his meeting with Wisteriaflower) in which he'd want to warn them about a mutual enemy if he saw a patrol. He, otherwise, naturally doesn't engage with Mossclan in conversation even on a good day so... It'd be the only time right on the top of my noggin for them to see him talking with a patrol. I have Toadpaw, Thistleheart, and Amberleaf available as well if anyone needs a quick rp partner until everything is done here and we hit gathering time. )) |

I can't say that I'm not anxious about it all. "I confess.." The tom said, almost yelling. With eyes closed, he spitted the words fast: "Sometimes I feel like I think too much and this makes me paranoid.." The tom breathed in and out, calming down. As the warrior got calm he sighed and took a conclusion: "I may be the most paranoid cat in the clan." ((I think I'm making too drama...)) |

Snowflower w/ Blackcloud- lolodogThe molly kneaded at the ground. To tell the truth, she wasn't expecting Blackcloud to tell her this much, and she didn't really know what to say in response. "Maybe..." She paused for a moment, then continued, "Maybe you could talk to Amberleaf about this? I know he only heals external wounds, but maybe he'll have some advice for you." (No, it's okay! It's a part of Blackcloud's personality, I think you're doing a good job with it) Ivyspot w/ Birchheart- Little meow meowIvyspot dipped his head. "Anything I can do to help with this whole mess," he sighed. He nudged the tortoiseshell molly onto his back, making sure her body was positioned so that it wouldn't fall off. Despite him being eager to help Birchheart as quickly as he did, he couldn't shake the feeling of despair gnawing at his chest. More innocent deaths of clanmates who were loved, who were cared about. What's next?It brought him back to thinking about Rainstorm, how he could've potentially saved his sister... somehow. "Ready."

( Little meow meow , would Amberleaf be open to chatting with Mothpaw?) (Anyone who wants to go for a border patrol just lmk!) Reedwing (camp, with Shadowstep + anyone who wants to join patrol!)Little meow meow Seated near the nursery with the sweet scent of herbs washing over her, Reedwing watched as the group of cats who had been tasked with burrying the bodies of their clanmates began the long and solumn process of carrying the dead to their final resting place. Her eyes clouded with grief once more as she thought of the lives that had been taken from them. The tragedy remained incomprehensible to her. As she watched Birchheart with the patrol, her sorrow grew at the thought of her friend's grief at having to bury another member of his family, and she promised herself that she'd check in with him once he'd returned. Her attention diverted by the appearence of Shadowstep at the entrance of the warrior's den, she sighed and got to her paws. Despite everything that had happened, she was still the deputy, and as much as she would like to be alone she knew she had a duty to her clanmates that she had to fulfill. 'Shadowstep,' she called out as she padded over to the black warrior, ' How would you like to come on a border patrol with me?' Polite in her tone, she bore no suspicion to the ex-Mossclan cat who'd been the centre of so much mistrust since the tragedy. |

Shadowstep • Tom • FighterLocation: Galeclan Camp with Reedwingblu Shadowstep's eyes rose to meet the deputy as she approached, any wariness he might have felt well and fully disguised by his commonly stoic composure that had since recovered. Even so, it was pleasant enough not to be regarded with suspicion and doubt right away, though he'd assume most of the day before's outrage would pass regardless. It wasn't as though he were naive to the reality of high tensions and outbursts caused by them. The black tom nodded, tentatively at first, but spoke his agreement more formally soon after.
"It would be a pleasure, Reedwing." An uncomfortable prickle danced along his paws at the thought of being back out on patrol so soon, though he welcomed the opportunity to return WITH his comrades opposed to... Well, he was simply glad to have an excuse to be back on duty and he doubted many would outwardly doubt the Deputy's judgement. "Anyone else in mind?" he inquired, harmlessly enough, and though he wasn't one to let the whispers of his clanmates bother him, he was not opposed to making his presence well known among many cats to avoid any further misunderstandings of where he was. |

{so for the next couple of weekends + monday nights, i'm going to be a bit busy. they have me working 10 hour shifts on both saturday and sunday, and then overnights on mondays}  ✸✸❣✸✸
The fluffy molly sat outside the camp entrance, licking her chest fur down as she awaited for her companions. It wasn't until the apprentices appeared that she gathered herself to her paws and turned to lead the group of cats towards the heather beds. Hyliaecho had to admit, Thorneyes had picked a lovely spot to bury their fallen clanmates. Serene and calming, she hoped that they would have a peaceful resting place. Seeing the swaying purple heather ahead of her, the molly picked up her pace slightly as she made her way to the end of the little ledge just in front of the heather beds. "here is the place we had decided upon." She nodded at the apprentices.

Haretooth Sunning Stones With Gorseleap, 🐦silvermoon2🐦
Haretooth listened closely to Gorseleap's response, hearing some conflicting feelings behind her words. In truth, Haretooth wouldn't judge any clan cat for feeling either way about the non-clanborn. She personally had always disliked the idea of allowing too many rogues into their clan and found herself more distrusting of them than other clan cats, so she understood the mistrust of her fellow clanmates. However, Haretooth actively tried to push back against her own prejudices throughout her many moons, and had enough life experience to know that bigotry was a flawed mindset. Still, it was difficult for her at times, and she still found herself preferring clanborn cats. "Not all outsiders are to be trusted, that is true." She said finally, looking once more at the sky in thought. "But... I suppose it matters more what a cat becomes than what they were. You can't change where you came from, but you can choose who you want to be, and choosing to be Galeclan is certainly a very honorable thing."
Thorneyes
In Camp
With Reedwing, blu ; Shadowstep, Little meow meow Thorneyes noticed the Galeclan deputy as she called out to Shadowstep. He wasn't sure what type of patrol she was organizing, but wanted to be helpful however he could. "Reedwing." He called in greeting as he padded over. "I'm free if you need another set of paws. What are we doing?" He glanced over at Shadowstep and gave him a small nod in greeting as well. Palewhisker
Hunting Patrol
With Nettlefang, blu
Palewhisker waited as the patrol gathered together with their freshkill, then took the lead on the way back to Galeclan camp. Feeling inspired by Nettlefang's words, she imagined to herself that her small patrol probably noticed the effortless way in which she was leading them. Surely enough cats could see her potential- and if she and Nettlefang could find some actual evidence against the non-clanborn, then they'd trust her judgement even more, and Greystar would have to admit that she is a good pick for deputy in the future. She only hoped it would happen sooner rather than later, both for the safety of her clan, and so she could achieve her dreams that much quicker. As they entered the camp, she spotted Reedwing creating a patrol. The fur on her spine rose as she noticed Shadowstep had been called. The last patrol he went on didn't make it back alive. She thought to herself, eyes narrowing in obvious hatred towards the tom. Yes, the sooner they outed the non-clanborn the better. Who knew what damage he would do in the meantime? She swung her head over to Nettlefang to lock eyes with him, silently communicating through her gaze. Can you believe this? Why can't the other cats see what we see? |

(Little meow meow Just realised I forgot to reply about the Shadowstep + Mossclan plan - but yeah sounds great! Excited for that to start after the gathering xx)Reedwing Despite Shadowstep's casually polite reply, Reedwing could tell from the warrior's shifting paws that he held some apprehension over her request. Confused for a moment, her mistake suddenly dawned on her and she cursed herself internally for being so thoughtless. It had been less than a day and here she was asking him to relive his experience! Too late to back down without losing face, she continued somewhat disconcertedly, 'Uh, Greystar and I agreed that border patrols would be run by Fighters and experienced warriors for the time being.' Looking around the camp, she tried to think of who else would be a good fit for the patrol, coming up somewhat blank as her mistake rattled around in her head.
Saved from further embaressment by the appearance of Thorneyes, she breathed a sigh of relief. 'Thank you Thorneyes,' she mewed politely as she greeted the approaching warrior, 'We'll be checking along the Mossclan border and strengthening our scent line.' Knowing that the Tom would likely ask for his apprentice to join, she decided to get ahead of him, 'And as I've just told Shadowstep, Greystar and I have agreed that it would be best for Hunter apprentices to remain off of border patrols for the time being, so sadly I can't allow Mothpaw to join us today.'
Mothpaw Waking up from a dreamless sleep, Mothpaw breathed in the warm air of the apprentice den and stretched lazily as her senses began to return to her. It was a few moments before the events of the day before caught up with her, and she found an unbearable anxiety gripping at her stomach as the last remnants of sleepy confusion left her. She'd spent the morning on a routine hunting patrol and had decided to take a nap upon returning, having spent the better part of the night prior lying awake in her nest.
Trying to shake off the feeling, Mothpaw got to her paws and pushed her way out of the den and into the light of the clearing. As her eyes adjusted, she took in the many cats who were milling about, noticing her mentor padding over to what looked like the beginnings of a patrol gathered around the deputy. Wondering if she'd be called over to join them, she spent a moment silently watching before deciding she clearly wasn't needed and moving her attention to once again survey the camp. Her eyes fell upon the cats carrying the bodies of the dead and with a sinking heart the anxiety in her stomach deepened and her breath grew shallow. How could starclan have allowed this she asked herself hopelessly, wondering once again whether her position as a non-clanborn cat would bring any suspicion or hatred upon her. Angeloniapaw had tried to calm her down by reasoning with her, but the feeling of discomfort she had within a clan that struggled to accept outsiders was stronger than ever.
With her mind spinning with thoughts, she'd barely realised that she'd gotten to her paws until she found herself standing outside the medicine den, with the soft shape of Amberleaf just discernable inside. Surprised, she stood in place, unable to decide what to do.
Nettlefang Noticing Shadowstep and Reedwing in the centre of camp as he walked in with the patrol, the warrior's eyes became icy and his chest burned with rage. Disguised outwardly as indifference, his reaction to the scene was so subtle as to avoid detection, and he merely narrowed his eyes and shook his head as Palewhisker turned to communicate her disapproval to him. Pushing forward to pass the she-cat, he let his tail tip touch her flank before making his way over to the side of the clearing and settling down to stare unblinkingly at the traiterous warrior where he stood so boldly.
(blue - Feel free to have Paley join Nettle but I think I'm gonna take a break from the plotting convo and just let him do some more normal things + maybe chat to some other cats to suss out their vibe xx)

Greystar notices Reedwing getting a patrol together and decides he would wait to go hunting when the deputy returned. No point in both of them being out of camp. His gaze shifts when he notices Nettlefang and Palewhisker walking back into camp. He hoped Palewhisker wasn't being a bad influence on his son. Greystar wished they had a better relationship but Nettlefang was just so stubborn. So, he kept his distance and hoped his son's rebellious streak would eventually pass.

((Thanks for the heads up Daydreams! I hope work goes well all things considering. Hopefully we can get the gathering stuff sorted and started in another day or two, have the biggest lump of it mid-week.)) Featherpaw & Firepaw • ApprenticesLocation: Heather beds with Hyliaecho, Crowpaw, Birchheart & Ivyspotdaydreams Junospower Dark
As they arrived, however, Featherpaw looked out over the heather beds, recalling the trouble they'd gotten into the day before vividly. An ironically fitting place to put this whole situation to rest. Without waiting for further instruction, as desperate to finish this as ever, she when to the decided place and unsheathed her claws. Beginning to dig at the ground, a bit tentatively at first against the resistance of the grass, she'd eventually put more strength behind the digging motions and begin tearing up the leafy strands to unveil the soft earth beneath. Firepaw would follow her lead soon enough, with more gusto despite the exhaustion still dragging at his shoulders.Birchheart • Tom • Fighter
Location: Heatherbeds with Hyliaecho, Ivyspot, Crowpaw, Firepaw & Featherpaw
Birchheart couldn't help agreeing with Ivyspot, though his own grief greatly conflicted with how soon he wanted this all over with. Honestly, despite the supposed peace between clans, it felt as though they were experiencing loss after loss in the most recent year and a good portion of such losses related to unfortunate border patrols and mysteries later solved. Even Rainstorm's death had been labled as a murder by an exiled Mossclan cat, something that had been uncovered in large part by Shadowstep. Granted that was a story well out of Birchheart's place to pass judgement or opinions on. Even so, it was easy to get caught up in the tragedies Mossclan had involvement in and easier still to forget all the positive interactions and altercations that had no victims.
Nevertheless, with Ivyspot's affirmation and Hyliaecho beginning the journey, the large ginger flicked his tail in a gesture that it was time to go. As respectfully as he could gather up Robinflame's scruff, he began following after the she-cat, dragging the large body while the one on his back provided much less resistance to the long walk.
By the time they'd arrived to the place Hyliaecho and Thorneyes had found, an undeniable ache was sinking into the large tom's muscles. Strong as he was, the awkward craning of his neck and weight had begin to strain his body and he was grateful to be able to slide the bodies down onto the ground with as much care as he could manage. "... Thank you, Hyliaecho. This is a nice place." He replied, the gratitude clear in his voice. "And thank you for the help, Ivyspot." Wasting little time in getting to the harder part of the job, he joined the apprentices in digging, his large paws and more prominent physical strength making the going a bit quicker the small bunch of young cats scrabbling at the earth. Shadowstep • Tom • FighterLocation: Galeclan Camp with Reedwind & Thorneyesblu bluewonder Perhaps recognizing the deputy's discomfort, Shadowstep put in the effort to soften his expression, his words coming out far less harsh than might fit his default temperament. "It's a good decision on both yours and Greystar's part. It's an honored to be called upon under the circumstances." he explained, hoping that despite his less friendly nature that his words came off less unsettling. As Thorneyes arrived, Shadowstep returned the greeting with an acknowledging nod of his own, having nothing of issue to note against the other tom. Perhaps part of him was glad to simply see someone else jumping to the patrol despite his own presence among it. With situations as odd as it were, even hunters among the border patrol were better than nothing. However, that thought simply made his thoughts briefly flash back to Brindlestream, a hunter and his daughter's mentor. A silent gratitude fluttered in his mind that Thorneyes hadn't been among them that day, with the additional understanding of why apprentices wouldn't be brought with them. The lack of apprentices being on patrol also meant he wouldn't have to hunt around for Claypaw which was also rather fortuitous.
"Wouldn't hurt the apprentices to remain in camp for the day, I'm sure many of them are still rattled." he added with a careful nod, fairly aware a number of the apprentices would have attended the vigil for one reason or another. Even those that hadn't would likely have suffered from the young impressionable natures common among the youth, and last night had certainly had its tension from his understanding. Amberleaf • Tom • Medicine CatLocation: Medicine Cat's Den with Mothpawblu With lastnights events still fresh in his mind and the silence of his den to offer only the smallest of comforts, Amberleaf had managed to find the time to curl up for some sleep. However, despite his efforts, it was made restless by the tragedy of events and by this time he was simply laying in silence with his own thoughts. This didn't mask the sound of pawsteps, though small and quiet, from catching his attention, however, and soon the ginger raised his head with curiosity, eyes landing on the small form of Mothpaw.Tentatively pushing himself upward to his paws, he stepped forward more visibly in the entrance as he regarded the young cat with his amber eyes. By all immediate definition, the apprentice seemed well enough physically, though perhaps a lingering exhaustion weighed on the youth. Regardless, it was always unwise to assume a cats well being on first glance. After all, the mind was as susceptible to harm as the body was and after last night he was sure various factors could contribute to that kind of harm. Palewhisker's outburst alone targetted a very specific group of cats, after all, even among the chaos of death.
Mothpaw, in particular, was a cat he recalled technically fell within the non-clanborn clause as many of their clanmates did. It was something even Amberleaf couldn't deny of himself. "Need something, Mothpaw?" he inquired gently as if to coax the young cat from her own indecisive stand in front of the den. |

Haretooth Sunning Stones With Gorseleap, 🐦silvermoon2🐦
Haretooth stretched a final time, letting the sun rays penetrate through her long matted calico fur before rising from her position on the stones. "Well... I suppose it's about time we head back. They'll probably be done with the burial by the time we return." Her voice caught and she looked down at her paws for a moment. When she recovered, she continued. "I imagine Greystar will announce who is going to the gathering soon." She figured Greystar would probably line his ranks with a fighting force and perhaps the prey-hunter and herself would be left out, but better to be there to know all the same. She still highly disagreed with Greystar waiting for the gathering to resolve this issue, but now that the time was drawing closer, she hoped that at least they would get more insight to what had happened. She wouldn't be surprised if Stormstar didn't show up to the gathering at all- after such a horrific act, surely he wouldn't try to feign peace.
Thorneyes
In Camp
With Reedwing, blu ; Shadowstep, Little meow meow Thorneyes nodded, acknowledging the order to leave his apprentice at camp. He made a mental note to himself to check in on Mothpaw later though. He hadn't seen or heard much from her since the tragedy occurred, and he wanted to be sure she had someone to talk to if she needed to. Shadowstep's words rang all too true. If Thorneyes himself was rattled, there's no telling how it had affected the younger cats. Turning his attention back to Reedwing, he asked, "Would you like anyone else to join?" His eyes flicked to Palewhisker as she entered camp, and he considered requesting she join the patrol. Any other day he would have- she was a strong fighter, and it would give them a chance to smooth things over after the previous day's debacle. But the hostility in her eyes held him back. He wasn't sure who in their group it was directed to, but he imagined it could very well be directed to all of them. He made another mental note to speak to her later as well. He couldn't stand being emotionally disconnected from his sister and wanted to see if there was anything he could do to reassure her. Lowering his voice, he again addressed Reedwing. "Do you think there might be trouble?" He knew the question might be silly- of course there was potential for trouble. But after the fate of the previous patrol, he wouldn't mind some false reassurances, or at the very least confirmation that they would remain vigilant. He wasn't scared, per say, but cautious, and being a prey hunter, he didn't want to let his patrol mates down if it came down to a battle.Palewhisker
In Camp
Open Palewhisker watched as her new friend left, then made her way over to the freshkill pile. The prey from their patrol had already been deposited, but she picked an older vole out from the bottom of the pile, saving the fresher prey for her clanmates. She was about to settle down to eat when she figured she might would check in on Haretooth first. And besides, she thought it wouldn't hurt for her clanmates to see her doing something honorable such as feeding the elders before she herself ate. Upon checking the elder's den, however, she saw Haretooth was out, and let out a small mrrow of amusement. Though the she-cat was elderly, she certainly tried to stay active, and Palewhisker respected that. Returning once more to the clearing to watch her fellow clanmates, she settled down and began to eat the vole slowly. |

Reedwing Reedwing gave a polite dip of her head in response to Shadowstep's uncharacteristic understanding and respect. The Tom was known to be cold on the best of days, and for him to show such kindness in response to her obviouse mistake, especially in the wake of all he had been through, was something she appreciated greatly.
Allowing herself to relax and regain her confidence as deputy, she addressed the two warriors evenly, 'We'll take Snowflower with us as well.' She'd noticed the she-cat chatting with Blackcloud earlier, and after having cast another look around in response to Thorneyes' question, she decided to call her over. 'Snowflower,' she called out across the clearing, 'You'll be joining us for a patrol along the Mossclan border.'
As they waited for the molly to join them, her attention was taken by Thorneyes as he lowered his voice and seemingly sought reassurance as to the safety of the patrol. 'I can't say for sure there won't be trouble,' she replied carefully, unwilling to make promises she couldn't keep, 'but there's one thing I know for sure Thorneyes, and that is that any Mossclan cat we come across will rue the day they crossed us.' Her eyes glinted with fierce pride for her clan and her voice had a steeliness that was unusual for the polite she-cat.
However, knowing that their patrol could use a bit more force behind it in case they did come across something, Reedwing cast another glance over the cats in the clearing and eventually called out to Thistleheart and Nettlefang to join them. It was always good to have a runner on patrol - now more than ever - and Nettlefang, although young, was a capable warrior.
Nettlefang (border patrol)
Roused by the call of the deputy, Nettlefang reluctantly made his way over to the patrol. With harsh eyes he looked Shadowstep over before turning to the other cats and awaiting further instructions.
Mothpaw 'Oh, umm,' Mothpaw stuttered, still slightly confused, 'not really Amberleaf, I'm okay.' She turned to leave again but found herself hesitating, feeling an exhausation dragging at her paws that stopped her from moving back into the bustling clearing. Casting another glance back into the warm safety of the medicine den, she relented to her subconscious and took a step towards Amberleaf, not really sure of what to say as the fragrant scent of herbs enveloped her. 'Um,' she began, 'I guess I was just looking for something to do.' Not at all the truth, she decided it would be better to make something up in order to avoid unwanted questions.

Snowflower w/ Patrol
(Snowflower is a hunter! And it's fine! It's not like she has anything better to do lol)
At the sound of her name being called, Snowflower bounded over and nodded. "Sure! I'd be happy to join. Though I may not be too good for fighting," she chuckled softly.

Crowpaw - with the burial group - Little meow meow; Dark; daydreamsWhen the group arrived at the burial site, Crowpaw and the other apprentices set to work. He settled himself somewhat between the siblings and started to dig, keeping his claws sheathed as he scooped out portions of the soft earth to avoid tearing a claw. While he worked, he thought about what would have happened if he had stayed with his old group. If he himself fell in a skirmish, would the band of rouges mourn as his clan mates did with their dead? Crowpaw supposed they wouldn’t. His old group never really had the means to bury their dead, living in the heart of Twoleg place. At least GaleClan treated the fallen with the highest honor.

Thorneyes
In Camp
With Reedwing, Nettlefang, blu ; Shadowstep, Little meow meow ; Snowflower, Dark Thorneyes nodded in agreement with Reedwing's words. Though he didn't share the same ferocity as she did, he still felt the same zeal for protecting his clan and his patrol... he just was more hopeful than some that it wouldn't come to that. He sensed wisdom in Greystar's plan to seek answers diplomatically at the gathering, and was hoping that whatever the outcome, no more lives would be lost. He watched as Nettlefang joined the group, wondering absentmindedly how his patrol went with Palewhisker, and hoping he and the other cats didn't give her a hard time while they were out. Then he watched Snowflower join the group. He chuckled lightly at her words and added under his breath to her, "Just between you and I, an ornery rabbit would fight better than I would." Amusement glittered in his eyes- Of course he would fight to the best of his abilities as any of them, but he was hoping to maybe steer some lightheartedness into this patrol. Palewhisker
In Camp
With Violetbloom, Dark Palewhisker looked up from her vole, delighted to have a cat to share her meal with, until she realized it was Violetbloom. She shot her gaze back down to her food and chewed quietly. "Hey." She said after a heartbeat. She had nothing against Violetbloom in particular, but the recent events as well as her conversation with Nettlefang made her more convinced than ever that cats with non-clan backgrounds shouldn't be trusted... or in the very least, as the case with her feelings towards Violetbloom, should be barely tolerated until they were exiled once more. She didn't mean ill-will to her, honestly, but she saw her as somewhat as a parasite- draining the clan of it's resources and strength with her presence. She wished her all the best luck... just, away from Galeclan. When I'm leader, I'll send her far beyond our territory, maybe into the mountains. "You've woken a bit late, haven't you?" She said, a bit of scorn in her voice. She couldn't help but assume Violetbloom hadn't done anything constructive yet today, and allowed that to further her viewpoint against outsiders.
(Sorry for your train delay, Blu! I know you said it was a 5 hour transit bc of the lightning, but is it a 3 hr normally? That's such a long commute!! And I thought my 40min commute was bad! We've had a bit of stormy weather here ourselves, but in a peaceful way! And lol congrats on your king, I suppose And yeah that time difference is wild. My time is only an hour off from the forum one! ) |

Snowflower w/ Patrol- blu Little meow meow bluewonder Snowflower snickered quietly. "Hopefully we don't come across any intruders, the best I could do is pretend they're a piece of prey and hunt them down. Then I wouldn't know what to do after that," she meowed. This certainly was true, though she would put up a fight if she had to. Violetbloom w/ Palewhisker- bluewonder "Hm? Oh, no, I was resting. But you're probably right, I should be getting something done. I don't think we need any tracking abilities right now, though," Violetbloom replied. "Unless there are things to do around camp." She flicked her tail, ignoring the passive aggressiveness coming from Palewhisker. Honestly, she would take it, at least it wasn't full on cruelty.
