camp SOUNDCHECK ⚘ patrols

[leafhusk]

the beginning of leaf-fall brings a nice, chilly morning. fallen leaves start to thinly coat the camp floor, giving the atmosphere a gentle crunch as the lead warrior waddles into the clearing. with the deputy spot currently empty, it meant the council had to rotate… starting with her, apparently. leafhusk’s wounds are healing well, at least, and she has experience giving tasks out from their short time in the loner lands. honestly, she enjoyed bossing them around.

"good morning, thunderclan! time for patrols." her tail flicked, curling around her paws neatly.

"first, i want lightflower to lead the dawn patrol towards river. take addersnap, and stagstrike with you." the pale tabby is shy, but she’s been a warrior for a few seasons at this point. leafhusk glances at the two toms she lists off, mentally willing them to give her an easy time.

"next, i want copperfang leading the dawn patrol to shadow. bring… houndshade and braveheart." thunderclan’s more level-headed cats should be safe near shadowclan’s territory. it’s difficult to gauge how they’ve been under new leadership, as leafhusk hasn’t been attending gatherings for… obvious reasons.

"third, roeflame will lead the dusk patrol to skyclan later today. stagsnarl and wildheart will join her." their relationship with the oak forest is fine, she supposes. either way, she trusts the cats going there to not stir up anything. roeflame will be able to shut anything down before it happens.

"lastly, thundergleam will lead the dusk patrol to windclan. i want snailberry, and laughblossom to accompany." sending thunderclan’s most… quirky members to the stone-faced windclan borders sounds like a social experiment. it isn’t, she swears.

"but we’re not done yet! doespring and rowanthorn will lead their separate hunting patrols, take whoever you wish. i want the pile to be steady before leaf-bare hits. sunshinespot will take charge of training today, any skill you want, just remember we have a lot of apprentices with recovering mentors." her eyes look across her clanmates, noticing how exhausted everyone still is. there is still work to be done.

[PALEFIRE]

It had been a while since they'd done anything as normal as patrols, and it felt… strange. Especially seeing Leafhusk up there where Flamestar had only just been. But the return to normalcy was more than welcome, and she felt her steps lighter than they had been in many moons as she wandered over to where the lead warrior stood. It was to see all the kittypet-blooded members back from their temporary exile, Leafhusk included. Maybe things were truly going to get better, as difficult as it had felt to believe that only a few short days ago.

Unfortunately it didn't seem like Palefire was assigned to any particular task today, likely because she was still a prisoner to the medicine den. The lynx point longed to join one of the hunting patrols; it had been so long since she'd been able to freely wander the forest without one of Skyclaw's loyalists following her every move. The warrior made a mental note to see that Meadowpaw and Ivorypaw joined the training session with Sunshinespot. She sighed wistfully, offering the lead warrior a quiet smile before resigning to spend the day in her nest.

[Flamestar]

〔✦〕If it were up to her, she would have taken a patrol out today, however while herbs still clung to her pelt, she was under Gentlestorm's order. She had considered slipping out anyways, but the old tom would be upset with her here in a few days...the gathering was coming up, and she was going whether he liked it or not. Her wounds were not healing as well as they should, but she also was not the best patient...she never had been. The only time she had actually listened to the resting was when Cinderfrost had been the medicine cat, when she had been found along the border with an infected injury on her shoulder. The only reason she had truly rested was because the infection had nearly festered for too long.

The red tabby sat nearby, listening as Leafhusk assigned the morning patrols. Part of her hoped the Lead Warrior would assign her to do something, but it seemed Gentlestorm had beaten her to it. Her paws were too anxious to sit around and do nothing again today. It seemed she would have to find something to do in the camp.

  a longhaired red tabby with low white and green eyes. flamewhisker's fur is a vibrant hue of red, riddled with thick classic tabby markings. her fur is medium in length, and she has a large, feathery tail. her chest, belly, tail tip, and her paws are dipped white. flamewhisker's eyes are a dark, deep shade of green. her shoulder has a large scar on it from a fight with a dog. she also has a shredded ear from a disagreement with a loner during her time alone before joining thunderclan. on particularly cold days, or sometimes before a major weather change, she will walk with a slight limp from her shoulder injury.

[HOPEPAW]

⊱⊰ Hearing patrol assignments being handed out from Leafhusk is strange. Sure, the patrol assignments have seemingly been passed around between all the lead warriors in the past, and Raccoonstripe had assigned them instead of Flamewhisker for a while, but Hopepaw can't recall a time when Leafhusk had done it before. The lead warrior hadn't even been in camp for the past month, had she? Since she was sent away with all the other former kittypets... how much does she know about their borders right now? Is she going to assign dumb patrols? It doesn't really matter, the lilac apprentice thinks, since she doesn't want to go anyway. Leafhusk is kind enough, but Hopepaw would feel unbearably wrong if she just… went out and left everyone here behind? She isn’t some ultra-strong warrior or defender, she knows, but she’s something. And she can’t bear the thought of anything happening while she’s gone. If she and Coalpaw hadn’t been in the medicine den, would Skyclaw have killed their uncle? Would he have gone after Orangepaw next? Whatever situation their absence would have left Gentlestorm and Orangepaw in, it lingers at the back of Hopepaw’s mind, an ever-present shadow. A nightmare. It’s all passed, now, but she still finds herself back in that den nearly every time she goes to sleep.

Thankfully, it seems Leafhusk has no particular assignment for Lovelight, and the girl lets out a shuddering sigh of relief. "Okay," she murmurs, and turns to leave. Thank the stars.

[THUNDERGLEAM]

Bright eyes found Leafhusk as she anounced her patrols, seemingly given the deputy's job. Was this a sign, perhaps? Not star-ordained, but regarding Flamestar's favour... interest buzzed beneath her skin, though it was soon overwritted by attentiveness. She swept in with the masses, a pale gleam among them; surprise fluttered her eyes wide when it was announced she would not simply be attending but leadinfg the dusk patrol to WindClan.

Delight and honour lit like dawn upon her face, and gratitude glimmered in rose-blush eyes. "Oh- thank you, Leafhusk!" she bowed her head hurriedly. Perhaps no other warrior would make such a big deal out of this, but ... for Thundergleam it was more meaningful than she could say. To be trusted with something like this... well, it meant the favour she had earned under Howlingstar's watch would not be whittled under the verdant eye of their new leader.​
