Night falls quicker these days, a reminder in such given by how fast time seemed to pass between Orangeblossom's call and his patrol's departure time. Greeneyes thought he would have a little more time to quell his nerves, to push images of flame-spawned opponents striking the lot of them down far from his mind's eye. He'd been similar in age to Falconpaw when he'd encountered his first battle with a fox, but still he worries about his student — worries about his whole patrol. If Blazestar's skirmish with the fox ended in such staggering results, what could come of the lot of them?
The lead warrior tries not to think about it. He reminds himself that, as far as he'd heard, nothing had been found during the initial patrol sent to investigate. As dimming blues begin to cling to his fur, dusk-covered paws guide his readied patrol forth. Every so often, he parts his jaws, double checking for remnants of the predator's scent. Nothing, though he can't be too safe.
" Remember to stay alert! " Greeneyes reminds the group as they near the leaf-barren trees that mark a shift in territory. " That fox could still be around here, so be prepared for anything! Try to stay close, if you can — don't try to fight anything on your own. Falconpaw, I want you at my side, okay, amigo? " In any other circumstance, he might've let Falconpaw go ahead on his own, but the risk is too unknown to let his apprentice's need for independence rise above his safety. With a flick of the tail, he dismisses the rest of his patrol, letting them get to work on remarking the border.
Jaws part once more to check the air, and when nothing of concern arrives, he turns to his apprentice. " What can you smell? " It's a simple practice by now for his growing apprentice, but an important one nonetheless.
