it is a monument's worth of effort to clamber up to a higher perch to address her clan... and while her leg pains grow more sinister, more present, she cannot find the will to torture herself with such a task when it can instead be played off as laziness. there is little room to give others the chance to fuss over her when Serpentberry's state is already under question of decline.
she clears her throat, standing just outside of her den with aquamarine eyes sweeping over what pairs of eyes flick towards her in curiosity; they are beckoned closer with a sweep of her tail, are not called too with a great booming voice. what few can hear her is all that are needed today, there is no great war on their doorsteps to demand the concern of every cat.
"Good morning- I have some assignments for you today," it was an effort to release some of the tension from Brightpetal's shoulders, to remind him that these duties could be shared between the both of them. "Nothing too exhaustive, I should hope. . . Just reacquainting ourselves with the forest and our borders, trying to secure those and formalize them." her gaze sits on Owlbark for a moment, realizing just how many. . . strong personalities stand before her ready to offer critique at any given moment.
"Monstergrowl, if you could take a small group towards the Great Trees where we used to live as a Colony, there might be some good moss or ferns there worth bringing back to reinforce the dens and bramble walls. Thunderflash- if you would please visit RiverClan and reaffirm our scent markers I'd appreciate it." as much as she appreciated Pikestar's friendly demeanor, she knew that a fair group amongst her clan were made more timid by their boldness than relieved. how easily kindness got misconstrued as a veiled threat since Sable had- . . .
she sighs, continuing on without further consideration for her mate's crimes and how long they may leave a lasting impact on others- "Ghoststrike, I think I heard mention that there's another clan just on the other side of RiverClan. I'd like you to go investigate where their borders end make sure they aren't encroaching on ours- who knows if they're as. . . misguided as Pikestar's first patrol was." would that earn her some amount of respect, to get ahead of this new dynamic and seize their position as attentive and wary?
"Lastly, Owlbark, head towards ShadowClan. Things have been relatively quiet but I'd rather be certain it stays that way. Sablestar assured me there would be no more stealing that piece of territory from us so let's ensure that promise was kept. If it wasn't... do what you have to." she couldn't keep catering to his lack of control of his unruly brigade forever. . . lest claws end up frustrated and at her throat instead.
"I'll make sure things are settled here before taking a hunting patrol out with whoever's left standing around and bored... Thank you for your hard work; make sure to report to me or Brightpetal with any findings."
