Open Border RiverClan FUEL BURNING FAST ON AN EMPTY TANK - [ riverclan patrol ]

[Frostmoth]

Frostmoth is already more than aware that this patrol might not go well for him. It isn't that he thinks a SkyClan patrol might cross the border to attack RiverClan cats- he's fairly certain Hawkstar wouldn't be very happy about that- but rather that they seem quite satisfied keeping to themselves. For several evenings he'd been kept up, tossing and turning, worried about what he might say to a SkyClan councilman or their leader that might ruin their entire goal. Of course, until he saw the window of opportunity open a few sunrises ago.

SkyClan's cats have proven themselves to be reasonable and kind. When their medicine cat apprentice had come to their border to plead for help from Jinglemoon, they had all been polite- albeit a bit impersonal for diplomatic reasons, a feeling with which Frostmoth finds comfort versus being overly-friendly- and reasonable in their boundaries and requests. Something that he thinks RiverClan could learn a thing or two about. SkyClan had been presented to him as some hostile, insurmountable enemy. As if they were hankering to start violence. Frostmoth understands now that they have something that his own clan lacks: a sense of responsibility and order.

Frostmoth stops a few paces from the shared border. He gestures quietly for Dogflicker, Smokewreath, and Thunderpaw to stop behind him. His tail swishes thoughtfully for a moment, and he scents the breeze. "We shouldn't have to wait long," he comments "Remember to be polite. We want to pay SkyClan with they same respect they have given us." Not that any of his patrol needs it. Smokewreath and Dogflicker are reliable warriors to boot, and Thunderpaw is good natured despite her high energy and enthusiasm.

[Thunderpaw Thunderpaw]

——————————————————— You who bares all your teeth in every smile. ✦

Thunderpaw stood at Frostmoth's side, her paws still aching from the long walk. It was the furthest from camp she had ever gone since they all moved to the island. There was the slightest quake to them, she had just managed to steel her fear near the river, trotting across the stepping stones as the other cats swam across. Russetfall had given her that smallest bit of confidence she needed, that she could pass over the river without freezing up.

Instead, now she stood at the side of the deputy, eyes glittering, looking out to the Skyclan territory. It was nothing like their home, even the air smelt so much more different, far less humid, that was for sure. Her tail swayed absently, sniffing at nearby flowers, even the plants seemed completely different! It was amazing, really, how such different places lay across the river, for all her fear, it was why she wanted to work past it, to see what the other side of the river. To see who was there too.

She looked up to Frostmoth, nodding emphatically. "Mmhm I'll be nice, I promise!" She beamed up to the deputy, eyes scanning the area for any sign of anyone. It was just as exciting as it was scary. The Shadowclan raid had more than frightened her at the prospect of meeting new clans, but Rainpaw and Galepaw were safe at home, and she had three warriors to keep her safe too, so she wasn't too scared... Nervous, though she couldn't deny.

[stormcrow]

Stormcrow had been taking her apprentice hunting when the chase of a piece of prey had driven them towards the Riverclan border– here, she pauses, momentarily forgetting about the prey as she smells Riverclan, but fresh, very fresh. Too fresh to be markers. She flicks her tail to signal for Stonepaw to follow her, and they make their way towards the scent. Upon leaving the little foliage Skyclan's territory offered here along the riverbank, she sees a familiar cat looking back at her along with three that are entirely unfamiliar to her. Realizing quickly from the looks on their faces, the shuffling of their paws, that they mean no harm, she sits down, her chest proudly puffed as usual.

"Frostmoth, deputy of Riverclan, we meet once more," Stormcrow says, offering a nod before turning to the unfamiliar faces. "It is good to meet you too. My name is Stormcrow, a Sunguard of Skyclan. This is my apprentice, Stonepaw." Another nod, this one for the three of them to share.

"You have the look of someone who wishes to speak, Frostmoth," she says steadily, her gaze returning the bicolor tom. "What ails you? Riverclan has been kind to us, and we wish to continue a favorable relationship. If it is something we are capable of offering, we shall try."
