Everytime she had to come back here she felt... weird. The beech copse had been a temporary safe spot for them, a home away from home... and yet it held a story of so much misery and grief. To hunt near here sometimes seemed to her like hunting in a graveyard. Clearsight had been here...

Glancing back towards the patrol she'd picked herself, a sense of pride wells in her chest. She must be doing something right... to be in Smokethroat's good graces, to be given the chance to assign them. Maybe it wasn't that great a compliment though... to follow up Snakeblink was not a hard act but at least he'd set the expectations low. No way she could've messed this up worse than he did! She shouldn't delight in his failures when the two were not so different but... adversity made others stronger or something? Whatever.

"Try not to stray too far from each other just in case there are still rogues about. This area should have something for all of us to bring home tonight-" Aware of the presence of one of their... less educated members, she feels it necessary only this one to remind them of the rules. "Do not forget- we do not eat until food has been brought home for the kits, queens and elders." It was a new enough law that maybe some of the RiverClanners might not remember too... (but she assumed they did).

Flicking a tail towards her apprentices, she trusted them well enough now to take care of themselves and each other. "There's some good land hunting here... I'll try not to scare any birds over the water in the meantime."

HUNTING PATROL TAGS FOR : @LILYBLOOM. @swanpaw @THORNMASK @DIPPERPAW @brookpaw

Feel free to roll if that's what tickles you!! Prey should be scarce following the rogue invasion but not impossible to find! <3​

 

[LILYBLOOM.]

Lilybloom was not unaccustomed to doing her share of patrols. This would be her first time participating with an apprentice to watch over. She had learnt from their previous discussion that Swanpaw hadn't really learnt much beyond the basics from his previous mentor, so this would be a perfect time for him to watch and learn not only from herself but the others on the patrol. Lilybloom listened quietly as Lichentail spoke, nodding when advised not to stray too far from each other. "We'll try hunting by the river," Lilybloom mewed, mostly to let Lichentail know what she was doing, but the others on patrol too. Land hunting was a good option and would probably earn them more prey if they were lucky, but Lilybloom was a strong fisher and much preferred her chances by the river. "Come, Swanpaw," Lilybloom instructed with a small smile, gesturing with a flick of her tail for the young tom to follow. "Let's see if we can find any fish."​

And as folks walk by, you see with your eye​

This wouldn't be his first patrol, but it still felt like it is. Like a stranger to the once familiar territory, Swanpaw found himself unable to recognize places he would've once done. It's not a nice feeling and the tom tries to take in as much of the path as he possibly could to readjust himself back to their home once more. The mention of rogues has his hackles raised in alarm, jade eyes now raking the land around him with more urgency then before.

Lilybloom's soft gesture pulls him from his worry and he obediently trailed after her. Fishing... The tom exhaled softly as he nervously eyed the river, as if he was waiting for something to leap out of it and drag him in. An irrational, childish fear, but his mind found conjuring impossible situations fun for some reason. Swanpaw took another, deeper, breath and turns to his mentor.
"Can you...Can you show me how to do it again?" He tucked into himself a little and shot a glance to the others on the patrol. This time, much quieter, he mumbles. "I don't want to mess it up"

"Hold me" is repeatedly given​
