In the excitement of the raid on SkyClan and subsequent series of events, Badgermoon had almost forgotten that he was still, technically, just learning the ropes of deputyship. He didn't feel as if he had automatically adjusted to the role oh-so well, as if by magic; rather, it was that he had been reminded that regardless of his title or of the expectations placed upon him, his role in the world was fundamentally unchanged. He would serve WindClan as StarClan willed it - nothing more and nothing less. At this moment, that meant defending Sootstar and advancing her agenda, including her controversial choices; StarClan had sanctioned her leadership and guided her pawsteps, and as far as he was concerned, that was enough. Besides, there wasn't much she had done which he would have disapproved of even if he had the choice to - sure, he would take a catch-more-flies-with-honey approach, but there was no accounting for taste, right? Anyways, as difficult and ultimately tragic the recent days and weeks had been, it had been a helpful reality check for him: what mattered was doing his utmost for the Clan. And not dying while I do it. he thought to himself after a beat, glancing down at the half-healed haze on his chest.
With these thoughts in mind, Badgermoon had settled himself in the middle of their snow-blanketed camp, settling his speckled paws in front of him before calling out: "Tunnelers and tunneler apprentices! We are in need of food, and the snow is making it challenging for our moor-runners to find prey. I would like to send two hunting patrols into the tunnels." he flicked one white-tipped ear and allowed an uncharacteristically solemn expression to appear on his face. "Our kits' and elders' bellies will be empty if you fail, so please try your hardest - as I know you all will. First, I would like Lambcurl, Smokepaw, Nettlepaw, Curlewnose, and Snowshadow to work together in one patrol, and Wormtail, Rainpaw, Kingletcall, Redrumble, Nightmareface, and Icepaw to form a second patrol." he paused, before adding, "Nightmareface and Icepaw, if you are too wounded to hunt, you may be excused from this patrol." it would do no one any good if they ran themselves into the ground. "Lambcurl, please lead the first patrol; Wormtail, please lead the second. Any questions?"
