A rush of power courses through her veins as she places her paws where her mother's once stood, and where all her successors stood after her underneath the shade of the Tallbranch. Being as swamped as Orangestar was, Figfeather so graciously lunged for the opportunity to take patrols off her shoulders. Orangestar had looked a little taken aback in the moment though she ultimately agreed to entrust the marmalade tabby with the important task.
Dawn's light kisses her fur as she yowls, "SkyClan!" authoritative and booming as if born to do this. "Gather for today's patrols!"
She watches them pool to her with excitement, yearning to show off how much she deserved to do this every day. Meticulously she had crafted these patrols up the night prior until they were perfect, she had no doubts Orangestar would be pleased, and the clan with her.
" @BLAZINGHEART , I want you to lead your first patrol this dawn to the RiverClan border. Keep your wits about you, they weren't very pleased with Chrysaliswing's catch last time we were down there..." Perhaps some would see it as poor judgement to give Blazingheart this patrol to lead, but she thinks the red-furred she-cat is more than capable and will make her clan proud. "Take @DOEBLAZE and @Owlheart with you." If Blazingheart faltered the more experienced warriors would be able to help her find her footing.
" @Orangestar has decided to take a patrol to ThunderClan this morning. @Howlfire and @Eggbounce. will join her." Figfeather feels nervous as she assigns the two to the leader's patrol, knowing full well she was listening and watching. Was she pleased with how Figfeather was organizing her patrols so far? Was Blazingheart too risky of a choice for a lead? She pauses in her uncertainty, but only for a moment before her determination drowned out her doubt once more.
"I'm tasking @LUPINESONG to take a patrol to the loner lands border at dusk. We've not seen any signs of rogues for a heartbeat but don't let your guard down and ensure their activity hasn't risen again. Take @Cherryblossom and @DUSKPOOL with you." She had considered, just for a moment, to allow Cherryblossom to lead this patrol. She can only imagine the blow the demotion has done to the calico warrior, and honestly, Figfeather pities her. Yet she didn't want to make any moves that would risk Orangestar's wrath, and therefore her shot at deputyship. Lupinesong was an obvious choice for a patrol lead and more than capable of handling the potential dangers of the loner lands border, anyways.
" @Florabreeze , you'll take @oakrumble and @HAWKSPINE to the twolegplace border. The same goes to you three, be cautious of any dangers that may still lurk. I want you all returning to camp without a scrape on your pelts." She nods to Florabreeze before looking to Hawkspine. There is a promise in her eyes to the younger warrior to give him a chance to lead his own patrol soon just as she had given his sister- if she had any say in it. She was pleased with how this was going and liked her odds though.
"@ODDGLEAM and @sillybreeze , I want both of you to lead your own hunting patrols. Gather up anyone who is free... And @Ekat , you'll handle the training. Understood?" Her heart pounds against her chest, exhilarated by this experience. She feels almost as if Daisyflight had stood beside her this morning, granting her daughter her precision and thoughtfulness. She hopes she's made them proud. Her mom, her clan, Orangestar and the stars above.
