Everything Stays
Don't fuck this up Was a montra in their mind as small, black paws moved along the heathery moorland. Soft and springy from recent rain, and a nose twitched as they took head of a group of four other cats. @HEAVY SNOW was among them, a tom they never got to know but knew was rather gentle and calm. Then there was @MALLOWLARK who Inkylotus could hear smiling most of the time and was told never seemed to falter with his grin, but yet another cat they didn't know very well. This whole patrol seemed like a bunch of cats they didn't know very well off hand, but he was eager to get to know them at least? They all seemed rather friendly; @Hunts Pheasants and a grey cat, @marquette he also didn't know occompanied them as well. Each of their scents was new to the blind cat, but yet he felt excited. They finally got to lead a patrol! Actually got to do something of use for once since coming here and Duskfires' words echoed in his mind; you've been around long before Windclan. It was true, Inkylotus and Ferret had taken up the moors as a temporary home in their travels and he was eager to show his knowledge of the land.
"Riverclan shouldn't be too much further," He assured the party over his shoulder, the smell of the river was growing stronger and the ground underpaw felt less spirngy and more solid- like dirt. The wind shifted in sound as it shifted from moorlands to that of trees, willows from what Inkylotus could feel walking through them. The Riverclan border was upon them and he wondered how far from the waterfall they where. That was in Riverclan territory, but it was one of his favorite places to go. It was so peaceful, so calming and something he wished he could see. Aside from seeing Duskfire of course, but that was another story for another time.
Though Inkylotus seemed to realize something- what where they suppose to do? Where they to mark the borders? Just look around for a while? Sourly, the cat realized they didn't ask specifics of what a patrol meant. Inkylotus felt stupid and he gave a small huff in annoyance. "We should fan out, see if we can mark down spots of our territory and make sure theres no Riverclan scent," He spoke to the group of cats with a swish of his long tail. Hopefully that sounded confident, cause he sure didn't feel it.
