Camp WindClan I GOT YOUR PICTURE TO BURN = ] patrols 07/25 [

[GOLDENROAR]

This surely wasn't the first time he's stood in front of all of these cats. Was it? Goldenroar's ears twitch, perking forward with interest as he gathers himself up. His eyes have been searching camp, seeing who was active and around and who was out- but it was early morning, so nearly every cat was here. He exhales as he stands up, padding towards the small rock that Dustystar had used next time. Goldenroar clears his throat as he steps up, his bushy tail tucked close to his haunch as he calls out. "Gather 'round for patrols!" This game wasn't unfamiliar, but it was the first time that he's truly using his voice like this.

Aqua eyes swim across the camp as he regards the cats who do gather. "Alright, it's time for patrols. We've gotten the mentor-apprentice pairin' thing going, n' I'd like to see that continue through this patrols. I'm meaning instruction and pointers as y'all move." He explains, a critical eye moving over the warriors (and lead warriors) that had received apprentices. "Alright. Let's get this done."

Goldenroar's shoulders shift as he turns his vision towards Dustystar first. "Dustystar, if y' dont' mind, I'll have you take Sweetnose and Tinytail- yours n' their apprentices, as well as Cloverpaw, too. Head to Skyclan." He asks, ears perked towards her. Curious to see if she accepts, and with confirmation, he dips his head and moves to the next group of cats he needs to address. Skyclan wasn't a hard place to patrol around- a true neutral to Windclan, he thinks, but friendly enough that Hawkstar had been willing to speak to him that one time. "I'll be takin' Aurorabeam and Harefoot- bring your apprentices. Burrpaw, Dandelionpaw, you two as well." He calls. "We're going to Thunderclan." Nothing that could go wrong there. Just passing through Fourtrees to really poke around at the Thunderclanners.

He turns his chin towards Nutmegpurr. "Nutmegpurr, take Swiftwatcher and Redveil, and.." Aqua eyes skip over the crowd. "Cometpaw, with your apprentices, to Riverclan. Say hello, wave paws. Not really there to mark a border- but given the interaction we had the other day, I got a funny feeling. Don't let them forget we ain't pushovers." The interaction the other day lingered in his mind. They aren't enemies, but they're definitely not as friendly feeling as Skyclan was, given the fact that as soon as Shadowclan left Pikestar's mouth, Dustystar had a look in her eye. He inhales softly, and breezes past that to his brother.

"Merry, need you to take some paws and fill that freshkill pile up. Hollowmumble and Scorchpaw too." Greenleaf was in full swing, but it wouldn't last forever. Best to fatten up and put muscles on now before it got cold. He's kind of dreading the winters on this open plain, but he's got faith they'll be alright. "Maremane." He calls to the dependable lead warrior. "Take Sassafraschill, alongside Peafowlpaw, Whisperpaw, and Sunbeampaw, to Shadowclan. I'd like to keep our interactions with them friendly, please." His vision drifts between her and Sassafraschill. That was a testy pair, but, he was sending them to allies, and expecting them to corral three apprentices without any incidents. Shadowclan was probably the best to handle all of that together.

Goldenroar takes a deep breath. "Last but far from least, Gladebloom." He turns his vision towards the medicine cat. He hasn't had too much interaction with her. They stayed in their own respective corn-rows, after all. "Next herb patrol you take, you can take Mustardflight, Oddpaw, and Gorsepaw with you and your apprentice. I know that Greenleaf is in full bloom, and you may need the extra mouths to carry herbs back." He says, dipping his head once he declares that. Goldenroar turned his head across the clan. This is fine, yes. And if they've got issues, well.. I guess I'll work them out.

"Alright. Dismissed."

  SKYCLAN (Lead by @Dustystar (@PEONYPAW)) @Sweetnose (@Sparrowpaw), @Tinytail (@Petalpaw), @Cloverpaw
  -> You're heading for the gorge-bridge when you hear screeches from above. Is that... crows? Or a flock of vultures, ready to descend upon you?.. No.. It's bats!
  THUNDERCLAN (Lead by @GOLDENROAR (@Dandelionpaw)) @aurorabeam, @harefoot (@teddy), @BURRPAW
  -> Heading through Fourtrees was fine, but by the time you make it to Thunderclan's territory, there's a patch of nettles waiting for someone to trip into...
  RIVERCLAN (Lead by @nutmegpurr ♡ (@Pebblespaw)) @Swiftwatcher (@Eclipsepaw), @REDVEIL, @Comettail
  -> Goldenroar expects you to be on your best behavior. Is that really possible, when there's a river right there to cool down in?
  SHADOWCLAN (Lead by @MAREMANE (@Peafowlpaw)) @sassafraschill, @WHISPERPAW, @Sunbeampaw.
  -> The Thunderpath splits Windclan and Shadowclan apart, but there's a giant monster standing between you and Windclan's allies, with Twolegs milling about near it.
  HUNTING (Lead by @Merrystalk) (@charitypaw), @Hollowmumble, @scorchpaw
  -> Similar to the issue that's happening at the Skyclan border, there's a large predator being pecked apart by some carrion birds. Is something around that might have killed it? Do you dare investigate, or just focus on hunting?
  HERB (Lead by @Gladebloom (@Meadowpaw)), @MUSTARDFLIGHT, @Oddpaw, @gorsepaw
  -> Nothing out of the ordinary happens.. or does it! (Wild card.)

indentDustystar raises a brow, then nods. She's more than capable of leading a patrol to the Skyclan border. Maybe she'll even be able to keep the apprentices from throwing themselves in the gorge for a laugh.

indentWhen Goldrenroar is done, Dustystar turns a critical gaze to the Riverclan patrol. "Be gentle. They ain't our allies, but they ain't enemies either." Dustystar doesn't know what her cousin is up to, but she's not about to risk her few warriors on his behalf just yet. Whether Riverclan knows that, though, is still up in the air. "Be alert, though. They might not be thrilled to see you."

indentDustystar stand up, stretching. "Look alive, Peonypaw. We've got a bit of a walk ahead of us." She flicks the tip of her tail across her apprentices shoulder.
