// set retro to the latest meeting and this thread! hunting patrol leaders will receive a dm with a prompt this time around >:3
"SkyClan! Gather 'round for patrol assignments!"
She's late, Orangeblossom knows she is, but as the deputy trots imperiously across the camp to her usual spot beneath Highbranch she finds it within herself to ignore the stares burning into her pelt. Her loss of appetite as of late gnaws at her mind more than it does her body, though she's still definitely feeling the effects of the prey she's been avoiding lately. And, though she hasn't told anyone else yet, she realises that this may very well be the last patrols she sends out before she moves to the nursery (though she wishes Blazestar good luck in getting her to not pass them out from now).
"Hunting patrols first today. @bluejay , @HEATHERPAW , @BLAZESTAR , @Coyotepaw , @BEARHEART . Try your luck at Rockpile, be careful of the slippery stones." The smell of rain lingers in the air from the pre-dawn shower, but Orangeblossom doesn't know if it's enough to have washed the fine layer of dust off the stones that made them slippery. Her eyes find a tricolour tom in the crowd, a new patrol leader she wants to keep an eye on.
" @Johnny , I want you to take @Sootsprite. , @MOMOWHISKER , @sheepcurl and Greenpaw ( @GREENEYES ) to Tallpine and see if you can find any birds around there." She doesn't know of any traps that far into the territory yet, so even a patrol with three daylight warriors would likely be safe underneath the massive tree.
"I'll be taking @eveningpaw , @Dandelionwish , @daisypaw ! , @SILVERSMOKE , @CHRYSALISPAW , and @TERMITEPAW out on a battle training patrol to the sandy ravine." It occurs to her that, for the first time in several moons, Orangeblossom has not had to do the mental acrobatics of putting slate on a different patrol to Silversmoke. it makes her heart ache, just a little. The two littermates would be facing their assessments in the next moon, and Orangeblossom wants to see where the two former WindClanners' skills are at.
"Border patrols. To ThunderClan I want @Pigeonsong , Bananapaw ( @Bananasplash ), @ThistleBack and @Snowpaw ." She nods at the cream-furred tom. Another new patrol leader for her to keep an eye on, and one she doesn't mind leaving to a patrol to a neighbour; StarClan knows Bananapaw would tell her all about how the patrol went, if Thistleback didn't.
" @COSMOSBLOOM , you're going to RiverClan with @REDSTORM ! , @TALLULAHWING and Figpaw ( @FIGFEATHER )." This would be the young warrior's second time leading a patrol, but he'd done well last time.
"Twolegplace border will consist of @CLOVERJAW , @Drizzlepaw , @butterflytuft , @Auburnflame and @sparrowpaw! ." In the groove of picking cats from the crowd, Orangeblossom doesn't realise the potential for trouble with the way Sparrowpaw had joined SkyClan recently, colony decimated by twolegs. "I want to remind you all of the twoleg traps we've become aware of lately. Be careful, stay with another SkyClanner and within earshot of your patrol. If there's no questions, consider yourselves dismissed."
