Seabreeze stepped out from the medicine den after making sure that his apprentice was settled before padding out into the clearing in search for the nearest high rank for the situation and his eyes landed on Fadingstar. The lionheart made his way over to the leader calling out to him gently, but his tone of voice was serious, knowing that this would be his first time needing to actually punish one of his own apprentices. It was scary, but what had just occurred on that patrol warranted at the very least a talking to but he wanted to talk to someone about if more should be done to prevent this from happening again. "Fadingstar, I have something I need to ask you about. I had a situation on the patrol that I was sent on with both my apprentices by Dusklion, and you were the first high rank I saw after getting Covepaw settled in the medicine den, so I am talking with you."

He sighed before kicking off the conversation by explaining everything first and then ending with his question, "While out on a hunting patrol, Covepaw had pounced for a mouse and ended up with a strange, clear thorn-like thing in his paw. It didn't seem to hurt him much more than a regular thorn but I didn't recognize it and so I wanted to be cautious. Going to clean it and get a good look and then decide if I could remove it so we could walk more comfortably to the med den or if it would be better to walk back with it in to get more expert eyes on the matter... though, Duckpaw took my moments of deciding to instead go ahead with playing medicine cat. He ripped the clear thorn from Covepaw's paw and then attempted to throw moss on it, when Covepaw reasonably started to cry out and me panic because things were going very wrong, Duckpaw scolded Covepaw and the attempted to throw more moss and cobwebs on the wound.. I... admittedly lost my temper and told Duckpaw to sit away for a moment while I calmed Covepaw enough to bring him in to the medicine den...."

"All that is to say, I feel that for the act of endangering a clan mate, in both furthering an injury and potentially risking faulty herbal knowledge that could've ended with Covepaw even more hurt, I think some punishment is in order. I just don't know what, I don't have much experience in giving them out, I want your and Dusklion's opinion on the matter."

Tail twitching indignantly as he padded into camp, Brokenstream headed straight for Dusklion. He didn’t like having to do this, but she had to learn. ”Dusklion,” He mewed coolly, but the his eyes clearly gave away his annoyance. ”My apprentice, Catfishpaw, didn’t seem to accompany me on our border patrol, so I finished it solo. Please let me know what you would like to do.” His sharp green gaze glanced around, wondering if she had even left this spot.

( @reiya - since the patrol was sent out before her disappearance, this takes place before that !! Lmk if you want it changed | @Katiethewolfchild - pls know no hard feelings, this is just how Broken would we react is does not reflect me personally )

Fadingstar was finishing with his grooming for the day after returning from an early solo patrol through the territory. As he looked up, his eyes met Seabreeze's as he approached. He perked his ears as Seabreeze informed him that he had an issue to report.

He wasn't certain why the Lionheart was coming to him and not Dusklion, since this was her jurisdiction. But given that Dusklion had plenty to do when it came to hearing other reports and dealing out punishments, Fadingstar supposed he'd handle this. He wasn't happy about it, though; hopefully she wouldn't bite his ears off again like with Thunderchaser.

As the leader listened to Seabreeze explain the situation, his frustration at being involved turned into anger at Duckpaw. Granted, she was just a kid, but one that was old enough to know better than to do that. Or, at least she should know better.

While Covepaw's life didn't sound like it had been put in danger by Duckpaw's actions, if this sort of behavior wasn't nipped in the bud immediately it could spiral into something more concerning. Fadingstar wasn't certain why the apprentices in the Clan were suddenly trying to play healer; did it have something to do with Mistyshard's lack of presence around the Clan lately?

Whatever the reason, it needed to stop. He wasn't going to have lives potentially endangered by apprentices who felt they knew better than the Clan's healers.

"You were right to handle it the way you did," he said after the Lionheart had finished reporting. "Duckpaw is still a child, but she ought to know better than that. If she can't handle herself appropriately in situations like that, then she isn't ready to be an apprentice.

"Go tell Duckpaw that she's confined to camp for a quarter moon. During that time, I want her doing chores around the camp. I also want her apologizing to Covepaw, and I want you to be there to ensure it's a sincere apology. Tell Duckpaw that if anything like this happens again, she'll be demoted to kit for a moon. I'm not playing around with safety, especially kids' safety."

The leader rose, preparing to depart for his den. "If she fights you on it, go ahead and demote her for however long you see fit. The youth in this Clan have started running wild as of recent, and I'm not having it. I appreciate you coming to me, but in the future if there are any issues with patrols please speak to Dusklion first."

Before he left, the leader gave Seabreeze an approving nod. "You're doing a good job as a mentor, Seabreeze. Keep it up."

[ These are the terms for Duckpaw's punishment that you can pass on: She's confined to camp until August 9. During the next week, Duckpaw needs to make at least two posts of her doing chores around camp, like changing out nests, babysitting kits, tidying up the dens, etc. Each post needs to be at least 50 words to count. When these posts are complete and August 9 has arrived, have her come speak to Seabreeze. ]
