border PASS ME A MATCH [windclan patrol]

[SCORCHSTAR]

༄༄ The ThunderClan border is quiet. Peaceful. If only the wind whipping through the oak trees could get the message—orange and brown leaves blow across the border and drift across the moors, flying into the faces of the tunnelers as they trot along the border between territories. The chill has not let up, but Scorchstar's hopes will not be dashed. It is still too early for winter to fully set in, and WindClan still has time enough to prepare for it. The calico has spent endless days hunting, so she finds that a slow-paced border patrol is a great reprieve. The life of tireless energy only keeps her going for so long before she must give in and take a break, after all.

She casts a glance back at the rest of the patrol as they grow nearer to the border, golden gaze catching on each of their faces. They are all loyal and unlikely to bring trouble upon WindClan, so she does not bother to warn them to stay in line. She does not keep focused on them for long, however; a rustling sound reaches her ears, coming from the direction of ThunderClan. She glances up, and immediately she spots a group of cats, a patrol. "ThunderClan," she greets with a dip of her head, but does not bother with small talk. The other clan may be the most favored—or rather, least loathed—of the calico leader, but their affairs still do not interest Scorchstar. For as long as ThunderClan holds strong and stays afloat, she does not mind what happens in their forest.

[PINKSHINE]

Pinkshine has to try pretty hard not to wander a little bit too close to Downyfur or Scorchstreak— um, star... seeking shelter from the cold. She missed Leaf-fall... Was it technically Leaf-fall still? If it was, then she missed Greenleaf. Though, it felt a tiny bit silly to complain about this Leaf-Bare when the last one was spent huddling within Horseplace, wondering when... or if they'd even be allowed to go home.

...Maybe it was okay to appreciate her friends here, just a little bit? A warm yellow gaze is brushed with sadness in the moment she takes to brush against her sister's side. She parts quickly though, picking up the pace to hopefully warm herself up a bit... ThunderClan is over the horizon, and she beckons her new apprentice closer with a flick of her tail. Pinkshine follows up Scorchstar's greeting with not-enthused-enough wave of the tail. " Happy first ThunderClan patrol, " she tells her apprentice, um... even if she doesn't sound that happy. " Ask them how the prey's running, or something, " she encourages. " Though, um, the answer will probably be like... noooooot that good? " It was still polite to ask, she thinks.​

 

[Flamestar]

〔✦〕Stiff paws carry the leader to the border, her patrol of similarly injured clanmates following closely behind her. The assault from Riverclan and Shadowclan had only happed a couple days ago, and the pains of healing wounds went right along with the pains of hunger. With two pieces of their territory being stolen, her clan had resulted to stealing and trespassing on their neighbors territory just to barely feed the kits and elders. She hadn't eaten anything since the battle, but her clanmates didn't need to know that. She had lives to spare, while they did not. They had gone hungry for her moons ago when she had been in the nursery with her leafbare kits, this was the least she could do to pay them back.

Ordering her warriors to trespass, to break the Warrior Code...to break the very thing that kept them separate from rogues felt wrong. But Thunderclan had been wronged, by not one, not two, but three clans. They were boxed in by enemies, treated like twoleg garbage...and she was fed up. As her gaze landed upon the new moorland queen, she looks upon Scorchstar with orbs of fire. Burning with the pain of hunger, the furiousness of betrayal. "Scorchstar." she begins, taking a step out of the undergrowth. Once the sunlight hits her and her clanmate's pelts, the herbs plastered on each of their pelts would be more than obvious. "Just the cat I wanted to see. I want to talk. Can you meet me at Fourtrees tomorrow evening? I have...a proposal."

[Palefire]

The Thunderclan border may be peaceful, but Thunderclan itself was not. They'd barely had more than a moon to recover from the mutiny before an avalanche of treachery threatened to bury them once more. Anger and resentment raged hot and bright in her heart like flaming coals that refused to die out. She'd had reason enough to hate Shadowclan before and had only barely tolerated Riverclan. But now... Now, she wanted to burn them all and feed their ashes to the winds.

The pale-furred warrior trekked quietly alongside her leader, stewing in silence. Voicing her hatred aloud would help no one; her clanmates felt the same way she did, and she didn't need their verbal validation to be sure of it. Every step sent a wash of pain through her body as her wounds pulled tight beneath layers of herbs and cobwebs. Unfortunately, nearly every able-bodied warrior and apprentice had been injured during the twin attacks, and none could afford to stay home and recover. Not that she was complaining; sitting idle in the medicine den always made her paws itch.

A Windclan patrol approached them quickly. The lynx-point choked back a sigh as she followed Flamestar's lead, her pace slowing as they neared the moorland border. She offered a slight dip of her head in respect but otherwise remained silent. Tail lashing behind her, she cast a warning look to her apprentices to follow suit, though she was only really worried about Meadowpaw. It looked like Flamestar wished to speak with the newly-named Scorchstar, and any outbursts by the young red tabby would not be welcome now. However, even Palefire was floored by her leader's next words: "I have... a proposal." Whatever this was, she could only hope the Stars would finally favor them.

[SCORCHSTAR]

༄༄ Pinkshine seems excited to have an apprentice to teach, although Scorchstar believes that she knows the younger calico well enough to see the cloud of sadness hovering about her. Since Sunstar's departure, the girl has seemed less vibrant, and life has only piled more and more tragedies onto her shoulders. At least she is teaching Nightpaw what it is to be a tunneler; right now, she encourages the apprentice to greet the ThunderClan patrol, ask them questions. A huff leaves her mouth as Pinkshine adds that the other clan is likely doing not that good. "I would assume the same," she mutters under her breath as she gets a good look at the ThunderClanners.

Almost all of them have herbs plastered across their pelts, remnants of a battle hard fought. With which clan, she wonders, before drawing her own conclusion. Shadowclan had openly accused ThunderClan of murder, and Flamestar had denied it. It would make sense for Mirestar to sanction an attack on the forest clan, or perhaps a series of trespassing patrols to hunt the land along the thunderpath. Shadowclan scent has appeared on WindClan's side of the border, so her assumption is not entirely out of the question.

The familiar tabby across the border says her name. "Flamestar," she greets in return, listening carefully as the fiery tabby speaks. Flamestar requests that they meet at Fourtrees to speak, and although distrust flickers in golden eyes, Scorchstar does not allow herself to appear uncertain. Whatever proposal the other leader has, she will hear it, if only for the sake of her own curiosity. Surely if Flamestar wanted to do anything untoward to a lone leader, she would not have warned WindClan about it. "Very well. Tomorrow evening." Her nod is all the further confirmation that she will give, but already her mind spins around plots and plans. She will take two warriors—trusted warriors, with no question as to their loyalty—and ask them to wait at the WindClan border. Whether or not she walks into a trap, she will not be entirely alone in her escape.
