Stepping out into the rose-lit clearing, Roeflame rolled her shoulders back against the barely risen sun. It was her turn to hand out patrol assignments, and though it would be the Lead Warriors first time, it seemed like a relatively cut-and-dry task. Her entire apprenticeship had been spent on Flycatchers tail, Roeflame still has her former mentors' standard calling words memorized. “Rise n’ shine ThunderClan! Come get your patrol assignments.” She can practically hear the tom huffing about how she could have added a please.

Once a sizeable group as flocked towards her, Roeflame clears her throat. Drifting pupils lock onto Leafhusk first, freshly recovered and aching to get out of camp, Roeflame could only assume. “Leafhusk will lead a dawn patrol along SkyClan and RiverClans border, take Vixencrown and Falconheart along with you.” With a nod towards her councilmate, Roeflame moves along.

“Palefire,” the cloud-furred molly had proven herself a fine warrior time and time again since the wolf invasion, Roeflame was decidedly comfortable placing a patrol in the young warriors paws. “I want you to lead the dawn patrol along WindClans and ShadowClans border, Laughblossom and Stagsnarl will join you.” A youthful group, but Roeflame knew they would get the job done.

Next, her gaze searches for her mates in the crowd. “Burnstorm, you’ll lead a dusk patrol towards RiverClan and SkyClan. Take Houndshade and Lovelight with you.” Roeflame spares no lingering gaze, the brassed molly was all business this morning.

“Stormywing, I want you to take a dusk patrol along ShadowClan and WindClan. Braveheart and Tigerwing will join you.” Roeflame’s pause is brief, and only to spare another quick scan for the three assignments that remained.

“Silversun and Stagstrike, you will each handle a hunting patrol, take whoever you wish.” Finally, “Nightdust, I trust you could handle a training session today? We have lots of antsy paws.” Many of the recovering warriors have graduated from the medicine den, though they were still undeniably drowning in apprentices. “Wonderful. You’re all dismissed!” Now, it was time to seek out her own pair of trainee’s.

 
golden rays lazily drift into thunderclan’s camp, coating the early morning with a slight warmth. the tawny ears of the lead warrior swivel at the beck and call, padding over with a swish of her tail. roeflame would be right about that assumption. she’s been awake since the sun began to peek over the hills, which felt unheard of for her, even now.

her head dips, "thank you." she says to her fellow co-lead, turning heel to gather her apprentices.



 
⊱⊰ The girl looks up to her mother like the woman is, in fact, ThunderClan’s leader. Roeflame has treated Hopepaw with nothing less than motherly love and care, even though she didn’t have to. She’s never had to—she’s never been beholden to the connection of shared blood that ties her to Littlepaw, Dovepaw, and Beetlepaw—but she’s done it anyway. Time after time, the cinnamon-brushed molly has offered her comfort, her encouragement, to Hopepaw and Coalpaw. It makes her feel a bit guilty to think that Roeflame is the only mother she has ever known, but it’s honest. Before the legendary Batwing, the lingering Leopardtongue, Hopepaw calls Roeflame her parent. As such, the lilac-furred apprentice finds herself smiling lightly as she approaches at her mother’s call.

Patrol assignments are usually boring. Hopepaw still feels a bit hesitant to leave camp, as well. But she listens attentively as Roeflame speaks, ordering specific cats to go to each border. Her own name isn’t called, but her mentor’s is, and copper eyes shift to glance in Lovelight’s direction. The two of them will be setting out alongside Burnstorm, who falls strangely into place alongside Roeflame, though the dark tom’s label is firmly not in the parental category. A careful smile, and Hopepaw nods her acceptance, feeling a surge of eagerness to depart from camp for the first time in a while.

[ ༻ ☼ ༺ ] More patrols were handed out and thankfully this time it had not been anything to deal with hunting so that was a relief, blue gaze flickered towards Leafhusk before beginning to make her way towards the lead warrior who was already collecting both her and Orangepaw to go on the patrol. Think time... Fadingpaw will be able to freely talk to their neighbors unlike when she had been underneath Skyclaw's oversight, a relief in her chest, and yet a part of her wondered, would Leafhusk also forbid her to speak to them? But that did not sound like the lead warrior in the slightest. "Ready when you are" she stated softly to the she-cat while forcing a smile on her lips.

It felt good to finally be free of the medicine den. As much as she enjoyed Gentlestorm's company, she couldn't stand to stay couped up for much longer. She had been lucky that the healer had allowed her to venture out with her apprentices under the promise of being extra careful, but now she didn't have to worry about risking his wrath. The lilac warrior rose at Roeflame's call and stretched slowly, arching her back under the cool morning sun. She padded forward to join the rest of her clanmates, all waiting for their patrol assignments. It would feel good to be back out in the forest.

Palefire distantly listened as names were listed off, admittedly struggling to keep her focus on the lead warrior's voice as her sleepy eyes wanted to drift back shut. But her name being called was like a fresh splash of water, shaking the drowsiness from her mind. Icy blue eyes went a bit wide when she realized that she had actually been asked to lead the Windclan border patrol. "Oh... me?" she repeated, unable to surpress the surprise in her voice. She'd only ever been asked to lead a hunting patrol before, and even then, the task had been handed over with a bit of reluctance after her past mistakes. She cast Roeflame a grateful smile. "Understood, thank you."
