[roaringsun]

〔✦〕Moving on from the border with ShadowClan, he lets his fur lie flat as they approach WindClan's. The moor-cats seemed to be the only ones ThunderClan could consider allies, the only ones who hadn't tried ( or succeeded ) in taking territory from them. They even had an arrangement now to share Fourtrees as a hunting ground. "Windclanners are the smallest and fastest cats in the five Clans." He realizes he doesn't know what to say other than that. "Scorchstar is their Leader. She was one of the cats in the journey, I think. Just like Nightbird." The warrior tells Berrypaw. He wonders if Nightbird and Scorchstar had been friends during the Journey, and if maybe they were still friendly with each other.

"WindClan can be considered our allies for now. We both can hunt at Fourtrees, which is over that way." He points with his tail toward the sacred place where the Clans met in peace every fullmoon. Berrypaw would get to see it soon enough when they hunted there, or at a Gathering.

[SEDGEPOUNCE]

It's always easy to tell when ThunderClan has a new wave of apprentices, because they all flock to WindClan's border like over-eager geese, one after another, for at least a few days after the new moon. Not that Sedgepounce is complaining—he's sure they make their rounds across every border, imbuing the new -paws with the things they ought to know. Besides, their clans have a sort of alliance now, apparently. Sedgepounce hasn't felt so desperate to seek out Fourtrees for any chipmunks yet, though. He fears he'd feel StarClan's wrath burn into his pelt if he ever sought the chance.

The mentor and apprentice today lack Nightbird's dusky pelt. Roaringsun is both bright-furred and bright-eyed; he seems knowledgeable, but it's obvious that he's young. He'd bet that the wispy pipsqueak at his side must be his first apprentice.

As Sedgepounce approaches, his own flank devoid of any nervous, rabbit-pelted company, a light expression crosses his face. "He forgot to mention that we're, like, super awesome and cool," Sedgepounce quips toward Berrypaw. It's all he can muster for the moment.

[Frightpaw]

*+:｡.｡ Frightpaw couldn't tell you why borders needed to exist, but she wasn't about to advocate for their disbandment. She liked having groups of people she was automatically allowed to hate and harass, even if the current political tide said otherwise. Quiet as dancing willow vines, the young molly would come to stand beside Sedgepounce - his unofficial apprentice while @FOXGLARE trailed somewhere behind the patrol. She notes his efforts to be amiable and decides to promptly ignore them. "And we aren't afraid to kill " Frightpaw adds with the same injection of joviality as Sedgepounce, seamlessly including her more morbid fact alongside his. Silver eyes puncture Berrypaw, making it known that her attention trails from the youth's eyes to their bare neck.

It was a joke, of course, but one can't help but occasionally wonder. She'd seen so many brutal deaths in her lifetime; tasted her own mother's lifeblood, even. Taking the life of another intentionally didn't seem too hard of a feat, considering her many moons of taking down prey. She licked her lips, her eyes trailing back up towards Berrypaw's gaze, and wonders.
In the meantime, though, she purrs, "Im Frightpaw, by the way, make sure to say hi if we bump into each other in Fourtrees " she winks playfully, "make sure not to take all the prey there "

[SCORCHSTAR]

༄༄ The borders with WindClan's neighbors see a notable uptick in activity after the other clans have their monthly meetings—new apprentices traverse the land alongside their mentors, leaning their territory's edges, and Scorchstar is compelled to greet them each time she sees them. ThunderClan's newest apprentices may be insignificant in the eyes of the moorland leader, but they are still the warriors of the future, and their outlook on WindClan may someday affect the two clans' relationship. Maintaining a positive appearance at the border could help to persuade them to stay on their side of the border, as well; Scorchstar and Flamestar may stand as allies, sharing the hunting grounds of Fourtrees, but trespassing onto WindClan land will not be tolerated no matter how young the perpetrator.

Tired paws carry her past the forested border, where she spots two unfamiliar forms. One is a young warrior whose name she cannot recall, but the other is entirely new to her. She strides over to join her clanmates, ears folding back at their words. "Frightpaw…" she warns, a scarred brow raising as fiery eyes dart to the charcoal-dusted apprentice. How could a kit raised beneath Nightingalecry's softhearted care turn out so… menacing? She is sweet, but her every word somehow sounds like a threat against the other clan. In the face of Frightpaw's statement, even Sedgepounce's foolish-sounding words go easily ignored. Super awesome and cool, both are certainly not terms used to describe Scorchstar or her clan. Capable, perhaps. Enduring. Nothing so… kitlike as awesome.

To the ThunderClanners, she dips her head. "A territory tour, I presume? I do hope it is going well."
