sparrowclaw (he/him) | galeclan Sparrowclaw wasn't even a senior warrior, but leading a patrol with cats younger than half his age certainly didn't help him. He had just finished being a mentor, having watched Nutriabite finally get her warrior name and finally getting her out of his fur. Of course, he had also somewhat appreciated having the apprentice as an excuse for Frozenkingdom trying to get him to slow down, or Foxtail bothering him to hang out. But kitsitting still was never his favourite way to spend his evenings.
Unfortunately, he was worried he was going to have to keep a close eye on Applecrisp. The she-cat was known for not being able to pay close attention and allowing her mind to wander off away from the task at hand. Thankfully, the other patrol companion, Webdance, was far more perceptive.
And, best of all, both cats were quiet.
Sparrowclaw had to admit he was thankful for what would likely be a quiet patrol. No unneccesary small talk that made him want to vomit, trying to talk about the weather or about what the kits were up to. Nothing gave the tabby tom a bigger headache than trying to balance being "polite" and being honest about wanting to just tell everyone to shut up. He didn't want to listen to their voices and listen to them get distracted from the task at hand.
Border patrols were important, as much as he knew cats were often blasé about them. If no Clans were at war, what did it matter, right? But there was more than checking scent markers when it came to border patrols. It was making sure that predators weren't nearby, making sure that loners were staying out of the borders - which needed a strong ear in particular as many loners were smart enough to stay out of sight of oncoming patrols. Sparrowclaw had heard of a loner who'd been making his rounds through the territories lately, apparently acting rather indifferent to understanding how Clans worked.
He was leading them around the southern border towards ShoreClan, knowing this would also be the best way for Webdance to be able to keep her good eye on the outside most naturally and keep her blind side in towards GaleClan territory. He also put Applecrisp in the middle of the walking order, trusting Webdance to make sure that the calico didn't either stop or wander off. Naturally, Sparrowclaw took the front of the walking order, silently keeping an eye out as they came up to ShoreClan territory. "ShoreClan coming up," Sparrowclaw announced, something he knew wasn't necessary, but was at least needed to help change the attitude of the patrol from a casual stroll along the waterfront to needing to start marking and keep an eye out for any potential threats. | tracker | adopts | plotter |

Webdance • Sparrowclaw • Applecrisp
Webdance could do a no-nonsense dusk patrol. It felt good to stretch her legs in the peaceful violet-gray of evening. The day's light and warmth lasted a little longer into the night with every passing moon, and she felt suffused with a sense of alertness that had been harder to summon in the cold of leaf-bare. At the ShoreClan border, Webdance sniffed at a matted section of greenery. A tuft of airy brown fur dislodged itself and tumbled across the patrol route. “ShoreClan cat caught a rabbit there,” she reported. “Just barely on their side of the border—they may have stalked it for a while before it crossed.”She swiped her cheek thoughtfully across the lower boughs of a large shrub, her eye still on the bowed grass of ShoreClan's parallel patrol path. “Looks like a lot of recent activity along this section, actually.“ Webdance picked up the pace, scurrying a short distance ahead before loping back to her clanmates. “There's the regular patrols, but also individuals in between. No obvious crossings.” She shot Sparrowclaw a glance. “Are they watching us?”LAST EDIT: Apr 19, 2024 4:39:21 GMT by Kauria |

 Of the bluebird as she sings [attr="class","impress"] [attr="class","me"] [attr="class","bang"]299 words [attr="class","bang"]oop [attr="class","Revolution"][attr="class",rise"] ❝ The day had come and gone with such ease that Applecrisp had hardly felt as though the day really happened. Had she maybe been dreaming about it? Or did the day just whisk by her nose like a tiny little mouse running off to find shelter? Ah, it wasn’t that important. All she knew was that Wapatofur had told her she would be on patrol that evening and she had luckily been on time - totally on purpose, not at all because she had vanished into her own little bubble while she had been sunning in the camp. Totally nothing to do with flying fish. While she could be a rather chatty cat at times, this was not one of those. She had some sense of mind to know when cats didn’t wanna be bothered and Sparrowclaw was definitely one of those cats. He was very serious and she felt like adding her to his patrol was a mistake, surely she would just hold them back, lest she walk into somethin. Oh, he’d never let her header the end of it. And Webdance? Oh she was sure she wasn’t fond of her either, not after she brought Taurus back to camp. Yeesh. Making sure to stay quiet and not yap - she tended to hang towards the back of the patrol, hoping that she could just tag along and not have to interact too much. However as Sparrowclaw announced their arrival, there was a gleam that reached her eyes as she peered over the border. What if they ran into cute Shoreclan tom? Oh, actually, that may not be the best of things to happen on this patrol. “Why would they watch us? We haven’t done anything to provoke them.. Have we?” she mused, chiming in, confusion coming to her face.

sparrowclaw (he/him) | galeclan Sparrowclaw's tail flickered with annoyance at Webdance's mention. Certainly the huff noise he made wasn't directed towards the she-cat herself, but more at the frustration that this couldn't have just been a simple patrol. Why did ShoreClan have to go and make things more difficult?
He made his way over to where the young warrior was motioning, not because he didn't believe her, but simply to get his own view on the situation. There was nothing inherently wrong with waiting for a rabbit to cross the border before catching it - if anything, that was more or less what one should have done. It was better than the cats who got so lost in chasing a rabbit that they chased it over the border line and forgot their place. If anything, the tom was almost impressed at their patience and ability to wait for a rabbit to cross closer to them before pouncing.
But what was the need? Leaf-bare was passing now, and the rivers were defrosting. And even without the rivers, ShoreClan still had a massive amount of water that never froze over. It's not as though they were lacking fish or prey by any means. If anything, OrchidClan was usually the one Clan they needed to watch out for when it came to stealing prey, considering a lot of their prey went into hibernation when leaf-bare came around.
A low growl developed in Sparrowclaw's throat, primarily out of frustration and annoyance with a mix of habit. Any cat who knew him well enough knew that his growls were not necessarily a threat by any means, it was more his way of just making his thoughts heard without actually having to worry about saying anything.
What annoyed him more than anything was the scent of individuals between the patrols. Who was coming out here alone?
His tail flicking behind him, Sparrowclaw stood once more. "Keep an eye out for now," he muttered. "They haven't done anything too worrying yet, it seems. We'll make sure to report to Wapatofur regardless."
In reality, the tabby tom simply didn't want to cause too much fuss only to figure out that ShoreClan wasn't actually doing anything. While he was always practicing his fighting skills, he wasn't actually all that keen on needing them unless necessary. He made a mental note to perhaps leave a bit of a stronger scent marker farther down the border just to make sure that ShoreClan knew they had noticed the prey. But still wanted to make sure it was left on their own side, that they weren't trying to push the border or anything of the sort. Just a little communication from Clan to Clan, nothing more, nothing less. | tracker | adopts | plotter |

Though her ears twitched at his noise of displeasure, Webdance yielded her investigation to Sparrowclaw's decision and turned her side to the ShoreClan border once more. Letting her whiskers guide her blind side, she drifted into place beside Applecrisp, and matched pace once she felt the shelter of her clanmate's presence. Applecrisp could be cloudbrained and a little too softhearted, yes, but from those traits came an honest sort of kindness few in the clan could match. Webdance trusted her to watch her back. Keeping her yellow eye on a darting circuit between ShoreClan's territory and the terrain ahead of her, she gave Applecrisp a reassuring touch on the side with her tail. |

Of the bluebird as she sings [attr="class","impress"] [attr="class","me"] [attr="class","bang"]264 words [attr="class","bang"]oop [attr="class","Revolution"][attr="class",rise"] ❝ ”Keep an eye out”Well, he didn’t have to tell her twice, granted she probably wasn’t keeping her eyes out in the way that Sparrowclaw had intended. His sounds of displeasure didn’t exactly ease the young she-cat. While he was worried about cat hunting on the wrong side of the border, she was keeping an eye out for a friend. Someone she felt at ease with. Someone who didn’t judge her for living in the moment, and humoured her silly side. He didn’t scold her for messing up and in fact, had fun himself. Watching the bushes in the distance of Shoreclan, she turned his wandering eyes from it once the patrol started in motion once more. She wasn’t exactly excited to be here, she liked hunting so there was less to worry about messing up. She could cover it up and hunt some more if she had to - but border patrols? If she messed up, it was just said and done. She’d be the laughing stock. Shaking the thought from her mind she watched the back of Sparrowclaw as they headed a little further along the border, the feeling of Webdance by her side was reassuring. Keeping her head down, she glanced over at the other warrior and offered a small smile and nod. She had to try and stay present, make sure her clanmates had her attention. After all - she felt a tad guilty about having let her attention wander so far from the clan recently. She really needed to step it up and give back to the clan more.
