camp speak you mind ~ returning hunting patrol

[Flamestar]

In her jaws she carries a bird and a squirrel. It would have been two squirrels, but she had been outsmarted. A rare occurrence for the skilled huntress, but not even she could hunt perfectly every day. She prayed that nobody else had seen her horrible mistake that had caused her to lose the catch...an apprentice ranked failure. If anyone else on the patrol had seen it, they had held their tongues until now at least. All she could think about was the ever so present threat of Yellowcough in their camp. Her former apprentice was in Berryheart's den now...with no cure, and no hope of recovery. He could only treat her symptoms...and they had all seen how that had gone for Frostglare and Foxpoppy. During her last attempt to catch the squirrel that got away, she had drifted off into a memory of one of their earliest hunts together. Cloudypaw had not been confident in herself back then, but she had heard about her excellent skills on Raccoonstripe's recent patrol before she had fallen ill. She just wished she could have told her how proud she was of her before she had fallen ill.

When they entered the camp, Flamewhisker glances down at Acornpaw. "Why don't you see if Sunfreckle, Tansywish, and the kits would like that? I'm sure they would appreciate it." she suggested softly, using her tail to flick in the direction of the nursery. Once she watched Acornpaw scamper off, she headed in the direction of the Medicine Den. She wouldn't go inside out of fear of getting sick, but she would lay the squirrel down in front of the entrance. "I brought a squirrel for you guys." she would call to Berryheart and Lichenpaw, before taking a couple pawsteps backwards. Of course she held no ill will towards the medicine cats, but she was trying her best to remain healthy. The clan needed healthy cats to hunt and protect their sick, and she fully intended on doing so.

[& RAINBOWPAW]

They would never want to be a lead warrior. Lots of talking, and... ordering! And fighting, probably. Rainbowkit sometimes finds himself wanting to ask if any of them would like to quit or something, sometimes. Did they feel pressured to do all that important stuff? They guess that it's not that important all the time, because Flamewhisker comes back with prey, and right now, she just seems like a normal lady warrior and mentor, telling her normal apprentice to do normal things. " The kits " is mostly him and his siblings, though it wouldn't be that forever. Rainbowkit looks kindly to the returning pair. " Yes I would! " Rainbowkit affirms mildly, looking expectantly at Acornpaw. Being a kit was great. Sometimes, cats brought you things before you even knew what they wanting.

They watch from the corner of their eye as Flamewhisker goes to see the Medicine Cats. It was hard work, looking after all of those sick cats... Rainbowkit's glad that it's mostly the same for them. They deserve to get what they want. And everyone does, really.
