The camp feels fuller than ever, to have witnessed the return of the journeying cats (and with them, valuable lungwort)... well... almost all of them. Lichentail's ear flicked agitatedly, wondering what dumb idea could've possibly passed through Dovethroat's head that suggested his 'noble sacrifice' was a good idea. There was nothing to be done about it now... Smokethroat had been committed to giving their wayward clan-mates a chance to say their farewells-- Many of them had lost family, family that hadn't even made it home to RiverClan. She was sure he was also glad for one last chance to see the final resting place of his mate.
"Alright, in lieu of Smokethroat, I'm assigning patrols today so listen up." Sweeping her broken tail as a surge of anxious excitement rushed through her, Lichentail would not deny it was exciting to be handed new responsibilities (she would've maybe even been smiling, were it not for the circumstances of why she was standing here). "To the WindClan border, Petalnose, I'm asking you to lead-- take your apprentice, as well as Cicadapaw, as Iciclefang will not be available today... Have Saltsting, Coalheart and... Aspenhaze go with you." It would be nice to give their brawn a chance to flex on the border Lichentail was most concerned about and with her mate in tow... it should be a fun patrol for her. She suspected too that Starlightpaw would enjoy the company of his brother, after all they'd lost.
"Snakeblink, please take Rookfang and Salmonshade with you to the ThunderClan border. Don't forget to bring Moonpaw and Bumblepaw... and if you wouldn't mind, Beepaw as well." The young mollies were friends right? That might make it less stressful and enough of a distraction from Smokethroat's temporary absence. "To SkyClan, Willowroot-- welcome back from the nursery, we have sorely missed your skilled paws-- please take Pikesplash and Nightfish If your apprentices are ready, by all means bring them."
She already felt like she'd been talking for way too long and the excitement had quickly melted off, leaving her hyper-aware of how long this was taking. Did Smokethroat's announcements really feel like this when he gave them? Good stars... "Uh... I'll be sending out two hunting patrols- we have a lot to make up for but more numbers than ever- Darkwhisker! Have Hazewish, Sablemist and Catfishleap join you... Chicorypaw and Minnowpaw should be able to keep up. Try the river headed towards SkyClan." Maybe it would pay off that most of them were still riding the joy of their new warrior names and they'd be extra profitable this time. "I'll be taking Lilybloom and Thornmask, and Swanpaw of course."
"Ravensong is still recovering so I ask you, Coyotecreek, to bring Bristlepaw with you and Otterpaw to offer whatever assistance he may need. And lastly, Bitekit, Tidekit, a job for you and Apricotflower..." Glancing towards the clan's permaqueen with a small nod, she offers a half-hearted suggestion, "Please continue with any unfinished cleaning that remains in camp... First hunting patrols to return rewards your hard work with lunch. Sound fair?" Yeah... that seemed like it went well... was it too corny to give Bitekit and Tidekit a task? It felt a little silly but... didn't he deserve to pretend he was doing something productive while he sat around and watched everyone else work to rebuild what they'd lost. "As always if there's any concerns or issues... Let me know. You're free to go."
