༄༄ It is not her first time arranging the daily tasks for her clan; it is, however, the first time that Scorchstreak has done it all on her own. The calico is glad for the degree of control that it’s given her, but at the same time she finds herself running the names of her clanmates through her head over and over. Had she missed anyone? Has she assigned anyone to a patrol that she does not trust them to complete? Will the tunnelers she’s assigned aboveground patrols to be upset? With a lashing of her tail, the tunneler decides that she does not care. She was tasked with assigning patrols, and so she stands as the figure of authority here. If anyone has a problem, it can be taken up with Sunstride.
"Gather around for today’s patrols," she calls out as she strides out into the center of the camp. She will not wait for every clanmate to flock to her—she begins listing off assignments as soon as she has the bare minimum gathered around her. WindClan is capable, even in the aftermath of their success. She trusts her fellow warriors to do their duties well. "First off, this morning’s patrol to ThunderClan. Rattleheart, I want you to take Redpaw, Downypaw, Slatetooth, and… Sootspot." Keep an eye on the snake. She is sure that her sibling will keep Sootspot in line, and will greet their forest-dwelling neighbors with little hostility.
She spares Rattleheart a warm-eyed look before attempting to catch Bluepool’s eye. "Then… Bluepool. I’d like for you to take Gravelsnap, Sunlitpaw, and Foxglare with you to patrol the border along ShadowClan territory." Scorchstreak does not know how the marsh clan will respond to WindClan’s returning presence, nor does she know how her friend will react to the other clan, but she trusts that the tabby will do her job well. "Sunstride, could you take a patrol to the horseplace, to check the border and see how the cats there are doing? Fogbound, Rivepaw, and Rabbitclaw will come with you." It feels strange, asking Sunstride to do anything, but given the number of barn cats who’d aided them in their final fight, it feels right to send the amber-striped tom in that direction.
The next victim of her hard-eyed stare is Periwinklebreeze, who she once distrusted. But she’s grown comfortable with him as a clanmate, and so she offers him a small smile. "Periwinklebreeze will lead a hunting patrol over near Outlook Rock. Sometimes birds make their nests there as it starts to get warmer—check for eggs, but watch out for hawks." She pauses, then continues quickly, "Take Azaleafrost, Heatherpaw, Addervenom, Whitepaw, and Milkthorn. with you." The young warrior has proven himself capable of leading patrols in the past, and so the calico believes he will handle himself well as the head of a hunting patrol. Then she looks to the gathered cats, hoping to catch her apprentice’s attention. "Pinkpaw, you’re with me today. We’ll train, and then at dusk I’ll be leading a patrol to the RiverClan border. Brightshine, I’d like for you to come with me, as well as Morningsong." She looks across the clan one final time, orange ear flicking in satisfaction. Her job has been well done, she thinks. "That’s it. Get to work. If you didn’t receive an assignment, find me and I’ll give you something to do."
