SAFETY IN THE HUSH — HORSEPLACE PATROL

──⇌•〘 INFO The Horseplace intrigues Wolfsong. It may not be rife with curiosities as other twoleg controlled places are, but he fondly recalls the competition between he and Sunstride moons ago. It tastes far more bitter than it used to.

"I'm sure you both know what is required of you," he says, glancing at Gravelpaw and Windstrider. He wishes that Sunflowerpaw were able to join him, though considering their experience the last time they were here, Wolfsong thinks it is probably for the best they are not with him. "Step mindfully— there may be more ground-jaws like those that struck Sunflowerpaw."

Their injuries haven’t kept them from this patrol, thankfully. They gave only rarely come this close to the horseplace, too concerned about the presence of twolegs. But they’ve been assigned to travel this far on patrol with Windstrider and Wolfsong (and Windstrider’s apprentice, unfortunately) so they go without complaint. Wolfsong is a good warrior, strong and brave, and Windstrider is fun enough to be around.

Wolfsong’s statement is accepted with a nod; they know what is expected of them on this patrol. They won’t let him down. "Of course."

Wolfsong continues on, tells them to watch their step, and he glances over to Windstrider to make sure the dappled cat is also being mindful of where they step. "Ground-jaws," he echoes the lead warrior’s words, eyes narrowing as he scans the ground before each step. He’s already got one bad paw; he doesn’t need another one. Not to mention the fact that setting off one of them could alert the twolegs—and that’s the last thing they want right now.
