She did not quite recall ever being this far until recently. With that patrol she went on with Wolfpack to scout out the twolegplace. She wasn't sure what to make of it, found it hard to believe that cats could supposedly thrive there.

"...Let's try and be quick about it," Sealdawn meows to her small patrol, blue eyes scanning the horizon. "The sooner we finish this up the sooner we can try and bring back some prey." Her stomach seemingly growls in agreement and she sighs.

Leafbare hadn't even come yet and it was like all the prey was just... Gone entirely. It didn't make sense. The pocosin was unnerving in its silence now, with even the frogs seeming to have gone away somewhere. A part of her wonders if the hunting would be better just beyond their border. She bites her lip, glancing back to her clanmates as she places a paw just beyond the scentline.

"...It wouldn't hurt to walk along this side and see if there's any preyscent nearby, would it?"

This is the longest side of Shadowclan's borders, by no small margin. Surveying the whole thing will take a long time. Still, the idea of checking out what lies beyond the territories of the clans might be to big a chance to let up. Do you hustle to finish the job, or spend time exploring the great beyond?

[ECHOSTEP]

✧✧ The land stretches wide and endless before them, unclaimed and untouched. Certainly it houses a thousand undiscovered treasures, fresh hunting glades and uncaught prey galore. Shadowclan could use such a land—why not claim it for their own, the thief wonders. Would holding ownership over such a vast swathe of land simply prove too difficult for the hungry clan? Echostep's tail twitches behind them, curling serpentine around itself as green eyes dart about, searching for signs of disturbance, but notice none. At the patrol's head, Sealdawn urges them to be quick in their patrolling, and the blue-coated warrior agrees. The sooner they wrap this up, the better; this border is long, seemingly endless when one is running low on energy. To dawdle here is to risk running out of daylight or energy, whichever dwindles fastest.

Sealdawn seems to reach a conclusion that Echostep themself has also considered, looking across the border into uncharted territory. The trapper seems a bit hesitant to commit to the expedition, despite putting a paw over the border already. Why she looks back for their approval, Echostep does not know. Still, they nod in response to her question, their voice smooth as they respond. "I see no one to stop us," they say, tipping their head in a gesture toward the expansive landscape that lies on other side of the border. "No competition for prey, either…" It could prove lucrative in the barren months, to find more prey in the large hunting space. It is a risk, but one that ShadowClan may be forced to take, if their situation does not improve.
