Mistlewhisker nodded gratefully to Lostspark as the medicine cat assured her it was not something that could spread to the rest of the clan. "We will have to keep an eye out for potentially injured outsiders, then." She meowed quietly, mostly to herself. If outsiders began coming in with their injuries and died in the territory, it meant more predators would be attracted.

Mistlewhisker continued scenting along the border, keeping an eye out for any ThunderClan patrols that might also be in the area.

Birdpaw, frankly, was absolutely loving life right now. She was on a patrol with her Mama, another apprentice who actually talked to her, and there were all sorts of interesting smells that had her short attention span turning this way and that. Birdpaw stared at the toothy smile Magpiepaw gave her, trying to emulate it with her own mouth. "Nice... to... meet." She echoed in a careful imitation of Magpiepaw's voice. Then, as if she hadn't just done something that to any other cat would be super weird, she turned on her paw and began snuffling through the undergrowth as she scented the border. Something smelled very yummy, almost sweet-like.

The scent lead her to a bramble bush, a few twigs newly snapped off and leaking what looked to be water or sap. Birdpaw sniffed it, trilling lightly when she confirmed that this was the tasty thing she smelled!! Now... Mama and Freckle always told her she shouldn't eat random herbs. But... these weren't herbs. They were twigs! So, bon appetit!

Birdpaw tugged one of the sticks out and began gnawing on it, the sweet syrup from inside the twig unlike anything she had tasted before. Or wait, it was sorta like the honey Mama gave her when her coughs got bad! Once the twig was successfully nommed on, Birdpaw dragged it with her for a few pawsteps before realizing that her small body was probably not equipped to drag this twig long distances so she set it down and continued to scent the borders with her patrolmates.

After a little while though, Birdpaw began to yawn. She had gotten good sleep last night, and didn't really require naps during the day, so this was super odd in her opinion!! Maybe she was finally growing? Birdpaw was a little smaller than most apprentices, especially compared to the rest of her gargantuan family. Birdpaw heard once that when kits grow up, they need lotsa sleep so their bodies can grow. Once she got back to camp, she could nap and finally get big!!!

But the longer Birdpaw traveled with her patrolmates, the harder it became to stay awake. Her white-tipped paws began to stumble, and she just couldn't stop yawning. Eventually she caught up with Mama, subconsciously leaning against her mother's flank and yawning several times. So sleepy...
