"and this time, she won't be forgiving"
oh, it is a petty thing that asserts itself here today, standing with rigidity in normally lax muscles, the irritated flick of a plumy tail that typically wrapped itself neatly around pale paws. not today, her ire bubbles at the back of her throat like a fire eager to be dispelled. "I'll be assigning patrols today," this morning, different from other mornings. there was nothing inherently wrong with Owlbark, other than the flicker of frustration she held for him at present (a twin-head of grief, just as furious as it was miserable) but that was all the excuse she needed to get under his skin in return. remind him of his place, that she did not need him the way the clan needed her.( they didn't need her either, just needed what she represented. the same thing he would represent in due time. )
"Graybird- I'd like you to take a group out to the Owl Tree today for hunting, if you can check that no other clan has been snooping around the neutral territory by the Great Oaks I'd appreciate it." she didn't believe a single menacing owl could have hunted all the prey in that area alone and with the excuse to check in on WindClan and SkyClan's antics... she would be remiss to overlook their adversaries and those who refused to align themselves at all. "Gingerflame, you'll be heading up the patrol to ShadowClan. If you have time to check Snakerocks and make sure they aren't active there, it will help for future hunting patrols."
"To our newest warriors, Flickerdance, Cinderstep, Grizzlypurr, you'll be escorting the kits to the stream outside of camp and teaching them how to hide their scents. Mud, water, crushed berries, whatever you can find. Prove you can teach them and maybe you'll have apprentices of your own soon." Besides... their caregivers could surely use a small break from all of the tiny, eager mouths yammering all the time. If Loonstar had time, she'd make her way after them to oversee how it was going... otherwise..... she is certain Hollykit can give her a proper summary of what he learned today.
"Lastly, Seafoambelly, gather up a few others to patrol near RiverClan... See if you can't check the edge of the Twolegplace for any unfamiliar scents on your way back too." a hypervigilance both within and without the territory, not daring to be caught unawares with leaf-bare looming so close. there would be new kits in the nursery come the first snow... they needed to be as prepared as possible. "Any questions, come see me, otherwise you're dismissed. If you return and I'm not available, you can report to Owlbark your findings."

sorry for the late patrol assignments! this one is pretty loose since it's late and im helping out muddly rq <3 next month tho we have some more exciting role-specific tasks coming out so keep ur eyes peeled and make sure you have your character on the census!
only patrol leads are listed, it is a free-for-all on which patrols u choose to attend for flexibility... trying something new to see if more freedom encourages more responses <3
@Graybird [ Your patrol is sent to hunt near the Owl Tree... and maybe you're too late, given the ominous pile of bones at the base of the tree... ]
@GINGERFLAME [ Your patrol passes by ShadowClan but when you get closer to Snakerocks, you see a plethora of snake skins laying about... untouched... ]
@FLICKERDANCE @Cinderstep @grizzlypurr : ̗̀➛ [ You're tasked with teaching the kits how to hide their scent near the small stream east of camp! ]
@Seafoambelly [ Your patrol glances along the RiverClan border when you notice a dog looming on the horizon by Twolegplace... it's loose? ] -
