The riverside is a delight for Grizzlypaw during the day, a gentle breeze calms the sunlight that bears against his fur. It's hard to keep himself focused when his fur gets so itchy in the warm air, but he will prove to Hazelheart that he's a capable apprentice! No storm guard would see him as a let down, even if he still struggled in some lessons.

Grizzlypaw snuck away from the dusk patrol in favor of following the trail of a vole, wanting to surprise his mentor with a successful hunt, when he became distracted by what he saw. The stones looked beautiful in the dim moonlight. The sky hung between sunset and moonrise, painting the glittering water in oranges and purples. "Huh, wooaaahh." Grizzlypaw clambered over the sunning stones to get closer to the river, hanging far over the edge of the bank his jaw nearly met the surface.

A trail of water-lapped rocks dot across the river. His curiosity is a force to reckon with, he's confident he can balance on those rocks with ease! So he leapt from the bankside without warning or preparation, spectacularly falling short to reach the first stone and dunking his head under the water while his back legs tried to quickly fix his error, sinking his claws into damp soil so he wasn't tugged off by the current.

Grizzlypaw struggled, forelimbs flailing to find footing that wouldn't arrive, keeping his head submerged while he fought the weight of water. He should have thought this through far more, he realized, as the shocking cold river started to tunnel his vision.

The sun dippled low, casting a soft glow across the river and the smooth stones that jutted out from the water's edge. Long legs carried the tom forward as he led the patrol along the river. One last sweep before they all returned home for the night. Adderfang was eager to return home. Just imagining the excitement on Crescent and Rushpaw's faces… and the warmth of Wavesong as she greeted him was enough to dust the days exhaustion off his bones.

As he moved up from the falls, the boom of water filling his ears. He didn't hear the splashing—swallowed up by the cascading river. But he did notice something flailing against the bank. Hanging off the edge, dipping below the surface. He can barely make out the brown of their pelt. The river has them, and it won't be long before they get swept up and dragged over the falls. "In the water!" He says curtly to his patrol, the urgency bleeding into his tone. "Hang on!" Adderfang barks sharply.

He races along the river, muscles coiling as he trapeses the stones with practiced paws onto the opposite side of the river. Adderfang rushes to the edge of the water and cranes over them, dipping his head into the river. Teeth grasping at their scruff before yanking up with all his upper strength, trying to wrestle them from the current.

Dusk was both Wildfirelullaby's favorite and least favorite time of the day, much of the prey on similar schedule to the cats of the clan and heading back to their own nests for the night which made it difficult to hunt for a lot of the prey that lived within the territory that he was still getting used to. On the other paw, however, it meant that he was surrounded in more silence than usual, the main sounds surrounding him the quiet chirping of crickets, of the wind blowing through the leaves of the forest. Nose rose to the sky for a moment as jaws parted, not yet noticing the missing cat from the patrol - Grizzlypaw wasn't his apprentice, he wasn't tasked with keeping his eyes on the other, simply with helping to feed the mouths of those left back at camp - until the soft sounds of water lapping at the rocks on the shore of the border towards RiverClan grew louder, followed by awe before a splash and the sound of a struggle.

It didn't take him long at all before the warrior was on the scene, ignoring the fact a stranger was on ThunderClan's land before he, too, was reaching forward to reach for the familiar pelt of the apprentice aiming too to grab onto whatever he could to try and help Adderfang pull Grizzlypaw up, before quickly letting go as soon as the younger feline was up and above the water, safely - fully - on dry land once more. "Are ya wanting to meet dead cats?" He'd speak out, voice strained but hopefully clear it was joking - at least a small bit.
