Belladonnadance felt a strange pit in her stomach. She was not only again tasked with leading a patrol, she was also joined by the leader of their clan. Sablestar had been kind to her, offering her a home when she had none. She admired the tom for that, he seemed to care deeply about the felines that made their home in the pocosin in his own strange way — even if his gruff exterior often seemed to hide it. He also wasn't afraid to get his paws dirty to aid his clan, and while she didn't always approve of the methods… she knew that the leader had their best interests in mind.

This patrol had started when the sunlight had officially been snuffed out by the horizon, the growing darkness creeping in. Leading towards their neighbouring Windclan, which Belladonnadance knew they had a cordial relationship with. Though personally, she still felt a biting anger towards the apprentice that had been so bold as to harm Crowpaw in the way they had. She glanced behind her briefly at her apprentice, seeing their eyes looking at the Earth as they followed behind.

Sablestar and Dustystar had been family, that much she knew. It was part of the reason their relationship was as cordial as it was, as many of the other clans had their own biting remarks about the way the clan handled itself. She could feel the brooding presence of the tom near her, and she wondered how he felt. He wasn't one to show much emotion, and she wondered if he was as torn up as she had been about Duskpool. Despite their borders, there was still that love there… alongside a void that was only just starting to repair itself with the love from her aunt and cousins.

They were flanked by two lightly coloured felines as well; Stoatstream, daughter of Timberfrost. Belladonnadance had only met her in passing, but she was aware she was quite the capable warrior. Alongside her apprentice, Cougarpaw. Belladonnadance had always found Jadethorn a beauty, but an intimidating one. She knew better than to step out of line with her children, lest face her wrath. The last two on the patrol were the newly named Pipithaunt, a chocolate shadow who seemed visible only by the glowing light of their eyes in the dusky twilight. Lastly, Saffronpaw. She was small, but surprisingly older than the larger Cougarpaw. This was her first patrol, and she seemed almost frightened, looking around like something would jump out at her at any second.

"I'm sure I don't have to tell y'all to behave yourselves with Sablestar here." Belladonnadance meowed, looking towards the two younger apprentices. There was a slight glance towards Crowpaw, an anxious glance in the fear that the apprentice that attacked them would rear their head.

OOC // This thread takes place at the start of dusk. In the odd chance a WindClan patrol turns up, Sablestar would like to give offerings to the lives and leadership Dustystar left behind and while he does not demand the rest of the patrol to do the same, your character may wonder how their death might be received by those they leave behind.

As per our prompt, this is also open to any Windclanners that would like to come our way.

"WHEN ALL THE HATE BURNS OFF, I'M LEFT HERE WITH THE PAIN"

.

Crowpaw sticks close to Belladonnadance as the patrol trudges toward the WindClan border, and they plan on continuing as such until they're back at camp. They've gathered bits and pieces of what went down with the neighboring Clan, Dustystar's death by the paws of SkyClanners. And it's not like it's a well-kept secret that Sablestar and Dustystar are related, so Crowpaw supposes they understand why he elected to join this patrol... Crowpaw just doesn't understand why he had the bright idea to have Belladonnadance lead the patrol and make them have to come along.

Crowpaw hasn't really been to the WindClan border since the incident. Near it, yes, but he hasn't dared to return to the spot where he'd fought the giant apprentice that night. How long has it been, now? A moon, nearly two? He wonders if he will see the large tom again tonight, wonders how well he recovered after he'd trudged home with his own wounds. Crowpaw had messed up his lip pretty bad...
In any case, this isn't a time to start drama, and while a slightly younger Crowpaw may have been stomping about in annoyance, tonight they are deathly silent, silvery eyes trained on the ground that their little paws walk upon. Their only goal is to mark the border and get this over with, so they can go home.
