Frostmoth takes his place toward the camp's entrance. Casual, calm, and collected. By now, he is used to doling out and organizing patrols. He might even enjoy it to some extent, though he would never admit it for fear of potentially coming across like some work-crazy cat. Dawn comes biting at Frostmoth's heels, and he is almost certain for a moment as the dawn sun crests over the horizon that he can nearly see his breath. He smiles a little to himself, relishing the idea of leaf-bare in RiverClan camp. Leaf-bare away from the shipyard, for once. How nice that will be.
"Good morning," he begins as he always does "Gather for patrols."
First, he angles his ears toward the smoky-coated warrior that he first came to know in the shipyard. Though they are not blood related, he finds a certain comfort and closeness in him, and thus trusts him to do well by leading this patrol. "Smokewreath, take a patrol to the ThunderClan border," he begins thoughtfully "Pay extra mind to sunningrocks. ThunderClan has been kind to us with regard to them, but I want to make sure we haven't accidentally invited cats onto our shore. Take Wavesong, Ivytwist, and Hazecloud with you." Frostmoth decides not to go on this patrol this time, in part due to his suspicions regarding his apprentice having the vague tang of the forest on her a time or two, but also because he finds his want for sunningrocks to be staling.
And speaking of which, he glances down at the lilac-furred apprentice he is thinking of. "Lavenderpaw, we will take a patrol to the campground," he addresses her first "And I'd like to take Shimmerstone and Russetfall with us. There has been a lot of twoleg activity reported there lately. I think it would be wise to get a good idea of what's going on and if the twolegs are doing anything that will be a danger to RiverClan cats." His glance lingers on Russetfall for a moment. He hopes silently that the stony lifeguard isn't feeling too bad about Thunderpaw running off after Rainpaw had gone missing. Even if she doesn't say much in the way of deep feeling, he still is sure that she feels concern for her apprentice.
As if by some strange design, the next cat he looks to is the foil to the first he had picked out. A sisterly figure among the masses. "Willowburn, I'd like you to lead a patrol to fourtrees please. There's some strange activity happening there, and I'd also like to know if our territory out that way might be viable for hunting in the colder months." He pauses, thinking for a moment before deciding on who he wants to go with her "You can take Beepaw and Crescentpaw of course, and also Hydrangeabloom and Lichentuft." He nods once he has finished, confirmation that he feels confident in his selection.
Frostmoth turns now as he sees a familiar silvery figure moving toward him in the crowd. "Good morning Pikestar," he greets the leader with a sniff "Would you take a patrol to SkyClan? I know that you had expressed interest in speaking with them." He realizes that his question is not much of a question, but it doesn't matter much either way. He knows that the eel-soft leader would accept his proposal anyhow. Pikestar never took much convincing. "Hmm... You can take Coyoteclaw, Littlebrook, and Galepaw with you. I believe that will be a good group." He nods in finality before moving on.
The nervousness of a swiftly approaching cold season changes his tune as he seeks patrol leaders for supplies. "Pebbledream," he picks out the warrior easily in the crowd, a courageous and smart cat who would likely do well helming a patrol "Take a hunting patrol to the river. The colder temperatures should be drawing fish closer to the surface in search of sunlight. Take Stormswirl, Juncopaw, Crowvortex, and Nectarpaw with you." Frostmoth nods mildly. He thinks about suggesting a location or two, but in an effort to keep his paws in his own business, he opts to move on.
"Jinglemoon, I understand that the changing seasons will bring new challenges... If you don't mind, would you lead an herb patrol?" He looks finally to the blue-furred medicine cat, an apologetic expression on his face for borderline telling him what to do. It had not really been that many moons ago that he and Jinglemoon had nearly gone toe to toe over the hierarchy Pikestar once perceived them to have. Frostmoth still feels that he is trying to pick up the pieces. "Take Pineheart and Torrentpaw, Dogflicker and Moonlitpaw, and Lichentuft with you... And if you would, let us know if there is anything we should be looking for in the meantime."
After a moment's pause for protests or questions, the deputy stands to leave. A simple "That's all," is what he gives as he turns to stride away.
/ PATROL TIMEEE
RECAP:
ThunderClan: @Smokewreath (LEAD), @Wavesong @ivytwist @hazecloud
- The weather is cooling off, making sunningrocks all the more enticing. What is a popular hangout spot for RiverClan's forested neighbors could be fertile hunting grounds. Despite the good tidings at the ThunderClan sunningrocks party, it is obvious that some RiverClan cats believe that the sunningrocks should belong to their own clan instead. Investigate the borders here, but be careful to keep to your own side of the river...
Campsite: @Frostmoth (LEAD) w/ @lavenderpaw , @Shimmerstone , @Russetfall
- There seems to be more activity happening at the campsite. Some apprentices have gotten up to some mischief there in recent moons, but it seems like a ton of twolegs have been visiting and putting up their strange colorful pelts. This patrol seeks to observe from a distance. Just make sure you don't get caught by one of the twolegs!
Fourtrees: @willowburn (LEAD) ( @BEEPAW and @Crescentpaw ), @Hydrangeabloom , @lichentuft
- The changing seasons have made the leaves in the great oaks over fourtrees all the more beautiful. As you lead your patrol here, you find yourself more entertained by the majesty of autumn than actually patrolling. It isn't until you've reached fourtrees that you realize you've encountered some cats from the Rustclaws.
SkyClan: @PIKESTAR (LEAD) @Coyoteclaw @Littlebrook ( @Galepaw )
- SkyClan remains a hotly contested neighbor to the north. Some RiverClan cats seem interested in befriending them and learning more about their ways, while others hesitate at the idea. Still, your border patrol takes you to the color-shifting SkyClan territory- maybe you discuss politics or the code along the way... Just be sure to mind your paws!
Hunting: @pebbledream. (LEAD) @STORMSWIRL ( @JUNCOPAW ), @Crowvortex ( @Nectarkit )
- The cooler temperatures have been bringing more fish to the surface to seek warmth and food. However, it seems that the falling leaves on the river have added a new obstacle to hunting. Is your character successful at catching some of the more surface-drawn fish, or do they find themselves frustrated by the reflected colors and leaf litter on the surface?
Herbs: @Jinglemoon (LEAD) @pineheart ( @Torrentpaw ) @lichentuft @dogflicker ( @Moonlitpaw )
- With the quickly approaching leaf-bare, Jinglemoon probably wants to see that his stores are well-stocked. It is still strange to think of all the effects of seasons on the clans, especially given that this is RiverClan's first leaf-fall, but it seems that this patrol in managing well. You might even find a new autumnal plant along the way!
And oh, what's this? It seems that @lavenderpaw and @Galepaw will be rallying the apprentices for something... I wonder what that's about...?
