border NOTHING TO REGRET ♡ border tour

[PALEFIRE]

Riverclan would be their next stop along this lengthy border tour. She wanted to make sure that both of her apprentices were well-versed in their knowledge of both Thunderclan's territory and their neighbors. They had unfortunately lost a good bit of time in their training, thanks to the mutiny and Ivorypaw being sent away, but she was determined to make up for that lost time and get them both started down the right path. Both girls had great potential, and she would make sure that potential didn't go to waste.

The young warrior slowed as they neared the river, preferring to keep a healthy distance from the water. It was no surprise, being born and raised a Thunderclanner, but she was no great swimmer and would rather not tempt fate by veering too close to the edge. The reeds on the bank brushed softly against her pale lilac fur as she turned to Meadowpaw and Ivorypaw, giving each an encouraging nod as she sat neatly in front of them. "Alright you two, what can you tell me about Riverclan? What are they known for?" They may be early in their training, but they should both know a few basic facts about their fish-eating counterparts. The wind shift suddenly, and her attention pulled away from her apprentices as the scent of another patrol washed over her.

[MIDNIGHTASH]

જ➶ Amber orbs shift across the shoreline, tail carefully still as she watches the border with a sharp stare. The woman has little issue when it comes to protecting the border and even if her leader still deems them to have fake niceties she never allows her true feelings to be hidden. It is in her gaze and the way her body shifts against the current of the river. She despises Thunderclan for what they have done and will always feel that way till Sunningrocks is back in their possession. Her paw raises carefully, claws flexing as she narrows her gaze slowly. The gleam of silvery blue scales keeps her attention despite the wash of Thunderclan scent. Her limbs stiffen for just a hare's breath before she launches her paw forward. Claws hook into thick scaled skin and she twists to throw the prey onto the back. Her sunstained form eases onto the bank from the reeds and it is only then that she finally decides to acknowledge the others across the river. She finally turns her eyes to them and she dips her head. But her voice is like ice. "Thunderclan." Her maw twitches with what seems to be a small greeting smile however small it might be.

Then she realizes that here are apprentices with the older femme and she turns fully to look upon them. An outing. She remembers her own well enough with Willowroot. "I do hope they are learning something. Hopefully not about stealing." There is a measure of amusement in her voice, almost as if she were joking about the past but anyone that knows her that is not likely the case, but a simple jab at them.​

 

[BUGBITE]

Y'know, as Bugbite follows along with the patrol, he realizes its been a little bit since he saw a Thunderclan patrol... Yeah, they took Sunningrocks, and yeah, he knows his clanmates are still not happy about it... But he refused to swim over, first of all, and second of all... What had happened? Did he just... conveniently miss each time Thunderclan did their patrol? Seems unlikely, but nothings impossible...

When he first lays eyes on the patrol on the other side, he sighs a breath of relief. At least they're okay! "Hello!" he greets them, chipper and kind, as he had Skyclan a couple days ago. "Hopefully everything is well." he blinks, slow, watching as the pale feline addresses two of the younger ones. No other cats follow, so... Oh, maybe they're just being shown the border, and its not a patrol! He vaguely remembers his first tour of the territory. He twitches his whiskers in response to Midnightash's sentiment, tilting his head thoughtfully. Seems like his clanmates are more bitter about Thunderclan than he thought... Not that he can really blame them.

[Meadowpaw]

The smell of the river hits her before they even break the tree line. Upon their approach, she is immediately forced to squint as sunlight reflects off the water and right into her eyes. "Do cats really swim in that?" she asks, looking uncertingly towards the raging water a mere fox-length away. Like her mentor, she keeps a healthy distance, shuddering softly as she recalls her grandmother staggering into camp, water dripping from her fur and panic wide in her forest-green eyes. But it couldn't be that bad if RiverClanners swam in it right?

Her mentor asks a question that she almost misses over the raging of the waters before them. Her green eyes pass over her for a moment, mouth open to speak but before she can, cats are appearing at the other side of the river. The smell of fish wafting from their pelts is unmistakable. She remembers that smell from when Moonbeam had been visiting them, the only reason why she is able to inhale without gagging. "I can't decide who smells worse" she murmurs to Ivorypaw, tail swaying where it stands tall behind her "ShadowClan or RiverClan"

A warrior across the way speaks, and when she does the insinuation is clear in her words. "Stealing?" she echoes, shooting her mentor a quizzical look, eyebrows knitting together in confusion "I THINK MAYBE YOU HAVE BEES! IN YOUR BRAIN!" She shouts across the river, a little bit more loud than what was maybe necessary to be heard clearly "NO ONE IS STEALING! I DONT EVEN LIKE FISH!" Why in StarClan's name would anyone in ThunderClan EVER want to eat fish when squirrel was right there?!

[carawaysong]

-ˋˏ ༻✧༺ ˎˊ- carawaysong watches with silent intrigue as the thunderclanner leads two apprentices to the bank, asks them questions she cannot hear over the tide. the tabby looks almost longingly to the rocks that had been claimed before her birth, she had no real attachment other than the feeling of missing out. green eyes glance over to midnightash at her comment, trailing to bugbite who greeted the other clan warmly.

all is calm, that is until the apprentice as lively as her flamed pelt screeches over the sounds of the water meeting the shore. carawaysong's brow spikes in amusement, ears twitching subtly at the sheer volume. that one sure had some lungs.

she chuckles softly, shaking a striped coat. while she couldn't argue that midnightash probably had bees in her brain, the second claim she could at least try. "how do you know that- have you ever even tried it?" she muses back with a light grin, feathered tail tapping gently before landing over her paws.

[ivorypaw]

Though Ivorypaw would never openly agree with Meadowpaw's frank rudeness, she has to silently admit the ginger she-cat isn't wrong. ShadowClan had smelled awful, but RiverClan's scent is nauseating in a different capacity. Something like salt and sodden, dripping moss assaults her senses, as well as the overwhelmingly fishy aroma of the running water that divides their borders. Palefire asks the two of them to tell her what they know about RiverClan; Meadowpaw answers with questions about swimming. Ivorypaw says, "They used to own Sunningrocks, right? I heard that from someone." She has no real idea about the animosity that still swam between the two Clans about the piece of land; she couldn't know.

Her curled ears flick as the reeds part and cats emerge. The first warrior, red-faced and black-bodied, makes a jab about stealing. Meadowpaw immediately responds with loud-mouthed fury, and Ivorypaw's whiskers quiver with embarrassed amusement. The first cat is joined by a friendly ginger tabby and a sleek-pelted silver warrior; the latter chuckles at Meadowpaw's outburst and asks if they've ever tried fish before.

Ivorypaw has eaten Twoleg kibble; most of her Clanmates recoil at that, too, she thinks with a shrug. "I haven't. I'd like to try it, though." She can't say for certain she wouldn't like it if she hadn't taken a bite, right?

ShadowClan can keep their frogs, though.

[BEEFANG]

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ — The black and white warrior follows with the rest of her patrol only to motion with her feathery tail for Roepaw to follow close behind her, she watches the river carefully only to hear Midnightash's jab towards some Thunderclanners on the other side. A frown pulling at her maw noting that she hasn't seen the forest dwelling cats in a good while nor at the gathering but she hadn't cared then at the time and one of the apprentices screeches saying that her clanmate has bees for brains. A rare bout of laughter slips from her jaws unable to hide her amusement "I like that one." Beefang mumbles quietly for the ears of her clanmates alone especially with her lone eye focused onto the tortoiseshell wondering what her reaction would be to having a Thunderclan apprentice say that she had bees in her brain.

Carawaysong asks the red tabbied molly how she knows if she didn't like it if she never tried it and another apprentice chimes in saying that they'd like to try it. Well, she supposes the pale molly could attempt to catch a fish but if she were to fall into the river that would be Thunderclan's issue and not theirs but Beefang doesn't dare say anything as her body brushes against some reeds. She settles down near the waters edge as she turns her attention to Roepaw to speak up once more "Come here, Roepaw." They'd focus on fishing first then do some land hunting which her apprentice seemed more comfortable with.
