Larchflame came back soon enough, though she looked to be walking weirdly. Alderstep tilted his head in confusion, further studying her gait. It was difficult to tell what the hell the other warrior was doing, but she'd brought back a mouse and a blackbird, which meant four pieces of prey total between the two of them. Impressive. Alderstep nodded his approval, thoroughly satisfied with the patrol.
"Let's get going," he said with a glance cast to the sky, observing the sun's position carefully. Alderstep then picked up his prey gently, so as to not spoil it with his jaw's grip, and stalked off in the direction of the camp. The ruins, he decided, were not so bad. Yielded a nice amount of prey. Didn't seem too dangerous. He'd send more patrols there in the future, for sure.
