Doing her best to absolutely ignore her clanmates, Orchidpaw strayed away from them occasionally on the way to Sedgewater Valley but not too far so that she'd be out of sight. She wasn't an idiot she just wasn't too fond of anyone...well to be honest she despised most of the clan but that wouldn't stop her from completing her first patrol.

As the Windclan border came into view, the young she-cat immediately wrinkled her nose in disgust at the stench of the other clan. Was this what all stranger clans smelt like? She sure hoped not cause she'd just found another thing to hate otherwise. Now to marking...

The charcoal tabby point lingered a few fox-lengths away from the border, unsure what to do. As much as she hated to admit it she had no idea how to mark things but she couldn't just ask! That'd make her look weak! She was NOT weak, so instead of simply learning from one of the warriors, she glanced at her patrolmates bluntly, hoping one of them would take the lead and she could observe and successfully copy them.

Seabreeze
He/him | Riverclan Warrior | Moons: 16 | Purrks: Go with the Flow | The Collector | Ultimate Predator |
“Ocean waters rising above your neck
You feel the glass start to crack.”

Seabreeze frowned as only one set of other paw steps had him turning his head to see only Orchidpaw behind him. Well, it’s not much of a shocker seeing as there is always quite a few missing cats on patrols. If only cats actually did their jobs. The warrior gave a small, polite smile to the apprentice before speaking out to them, “Have you been on a border patrol before or should I explain what we are to do?” The tom mewed as the Windclan border came into view. The apprentice didn’t seem like a very social kind of car seeing as the other feline hasn’t said anything and kept a noticeable distance between Seabreeze and herself.

His blue eyes peered around the border, looking up and down the stretch of land as the heathery scent of Windclan hit his nose. He shuddered, it was as off as it always was but Seabreeze was sure that Windclan thought the same about Riverclan. It seemed to be relatively clear, no immediacy threats were seen or heard. All that was left was to renew the scent markers which was as easy as Seabreeze went to a nearby tree and carefully ran his fur along it to leave his scent. The warrior then took a few steps back and looked to the apprentice with no exact expression. Sea breeze wasn’t the most physically expressive.

Starting to walk back to the apprentice to check in with them, Seabreeze let out a spooked yowl as there was a dangerous rumble in the soil beneath his paws. He darted forward, but the soil collapsed with him on it. A sink hole! Sea breeze tumbled down, hitting against some tree roots and rocks as he went down before landing on his side with a thud. The tom took a few moments, wind knocked out of his lungs like thoughts were from his mind. Blinking open his tightly shut blue eyes, Seabreeze took in a deep breath as he gathered his paws beneath him as the soil settled around him. On either sides of the tom there were dark tunnels. Oh right…Seabreeze thought, there are tunnels beneath Riverclan territory.

The tom moved his gaze up to the sky, looking for where he was when he fell. It was a fall of only a couple tail lengths. It wasn’t so bad, Seabreeze was still lucky as it seems he had no more than a few bruises. “Orchidpaw?!”
