༄༄ When the weather begins to turn cold early, Scorchstar is not concerned. She has lived a good few years, and sometimes the chill of winter sinks into the land a bit earlier than other years. This seems to be one of those years, with frost already coating the moorland's grasses and turning the tunnels' dirt hard and cold. The solution for the cold is the same as any other winter, especially for WindClan. The horseplace's sheep are laden with wool, and there should be plenty for the beasts to share with the moorland cats. For those who cannot escape into the insulation of the tunnels at night, a wool-lined nest can do just as much to warm them as another cat's body. Hunkering together for warmth can only do so much when snow and ice begin to coat the world in white; for this reason, the leader ignores the slight strain in her flank as she treks along the last stretch of land to the fence line. The fence itself looks to be holding up well, and the sheep that lumber about on the other side of it seem unaffected by the weather. Of course they don't mind the cold—they have thicker pelts than any WindClan cat, with the exception of perhaps Bullkit.
Turning to glance at the patrol, the leader declares, "We should gather as much wool as we can... if we can find any. The more prepared we are for the cold, the better off we will be." Searching for wool around the fenceline, Scorchstar spots none. No telltale white fluff clings to the grass where she looks—perhaps she simply isn't looking in the correct places. Shit, she thinks to herself, gritting her teeth against the disappointment that rises within her chest. If Bluepool were here, she'd likely already have a stockpile of soft wool to line every cat's nests with. The reminder of her mate brings a tense expression to the calico's face, but she attempts to keep up the search in spite of her thoughts. Tireless energy, remember? I cannot give up so quickly. Just as she steels herself to keep searching, golden eyes catch on a clump of moss creeping up the side of a fence post, and she trots over to begin removing it with careful paws. Brackenpaw and Bilberrypaw are left to their own devices for the time being, both of them trusted enough to do their own duties without being reminded.
