Nightpaw followed the rest of the patrol back into camp, stalling slightly near the entrance to camp. He was starting to get a little tired, after all, he’d woken up a lot earlier this morning than usual and hadn’t slept so well. Realising that he was a fair bit behind now, Nightpaw started picking up the pace as he approached, though the rest of the patrol had already reported. He heard Sleepysunrise call out his name as she looked around for him.
Nightpaw approached his mentor, placing the herbs down in front of her before taking a few steps back. "Sorry…I'm here now."

And I thought to myself:
Where the hell is my ceiling?
The she-cat stifled a huff. Jeez, was the apprentice never there when they were needed? She made her way back to Sleepysunrise, striped tail flicking its tip. She gave the medic a shake of her head. "Was. But not." He was there, at first, actually showed up and participated in the patrol, but he didn't seem to have the sense to report it.
"Look?" She asked, voice terribly hoarse. As much as she definitely didn't want to go back into the cold, all she wanted was to warm up actually, having an apprentice get lost so often had to be a concern. So, if she had to go, she would.

Her eye settled on Nightpaw when he finally returned to camp, and her eyes slowly darkened into a scowl. She turned her attention on the apprentice, ignoring Mudflap, as she pondered. She thought about letting it slide; he had brought an adequate amount of herbs and apologised, but this was her apprentice, and had been an apprentice for too long. "You will be standing guard tonight. Outside my den."
Her voice hitched as she 'my den', mind flickering to her mother in a sickening motion and churning her stomach. "Report to me in the morning. Leave, and you will be standing guard until the new moon."
[ @/Seamrog - Nightpaw has been given a minor punishment for his tardiness - he is expected to stand guard outside of the medicine cat's den without leaving his post or sleeping. You have until January 31st to make one (1) post of him standing guard and reporting to Sleepy in this thread. Failure to do so will result in harsher punishing. If you have any questions or issues, contact me at any time! ]

Nightpaw flinched as Sleepysunrise decided his punishment, his eyes widening as she revealed it. Of all things, why did it have to be staying out all night, in the dark?! Nightpaw wanted to protest, but…how could he? Then every cat would know he was terrified of the dark! Nightpaw just hoped that no cat would see him whilst he was doing it, it would be humiliating for everyone to find out like that! He’d never hear the end of it!
Taking a deep breath to try and calm himself, Nightpaw nodded. "Y-yes…I'm sorry…" This was going to be the worst night of his life…
Honeybreeze quickly weaves through the other cats to reach her patrol group. She doesn't know any of them very well, but she recognizes the Enforcer Owlthroat after having seen him around.
She fluffs her long coat. It keeps out the worse of the chill, but any strong breeze cuts right through. Hopefully the exercise can keep her warm."Chilly isn't it?" she asks with slight excitement in her voice. Honeybreeze enjoys a good hunt, no matter the weather.

Ah, Greenapple had been called. She looked forward to stretching her legs. The warrior easily found Mudslide and joined her, waiting for Cloverpaw and Emberpaw. There wasn't much else to do.
SQUIRRELRISE she/her | 18 moons | small, scarred russet and brown molly with white markings and yellow eyes
[ chill of death, hulk SMASH ]
a patrol. luckily for squirrelrise, she's been wanting to stretch her legs a little, so this was good. riverclan hasn't really caused any problems for shadowclan as of late, but with the news of members mauling windclanner ..well, she's more wary than usual. with a short shuffle of her paws, she spots wildstorm and pads over. she offers a dip of her head as greeting before glancing around for tinywolf.
Hey! Weepingpaw could watch himself, thank you very much. The little guy had padded over when he heard his name called from Mamawhisker, but he had no clue what he was supposed to be doing. Who was Rockjaw, Newtbelly, and Lionpaw supposed to be?
He recalled Dawnstar saying something about a Rock a bit ago, but he still didn't know who that was. He swallowed his nervous anxiety and stayed close to the deputy while waiting for whoever he was supposed to be going with to call him over or come up to him. Also, he didn't know how to hunt yet. Was he going to get yowled at for not knowing stuff? He wished he had gotten put with one sibling, being with cats he wasn't familiar with made his teeth itch.

Ah! Patrols! He'd been hoping to be put on a hunting patrol, so he was in luck. And, he wasn't back on that drab ThunderClan border - maybe he wasn't cursed. Rockjaw... That was one of the new Medicine aids, right? Considering the rank, he was surely a competent warrior - which was something Newtbelly was thankful for, as they had two apprentices with them. He didn't know either of them, but he supposed he'd know more about them soon. Hopefully they knew how to hunt - though, from Dawnstar's words, it seemed that Weepingpaw was young. He didn't mind teaching the 'paw if he needed to.
Newtbelly snaked his way forward, waiting for his patrolmates.

Ear swiveling as his name was called, the gruff warrior rose to his paws, padding over to join Newtbelly and Weepingpaw who had already assembled nearby. Dipping his head respectfully to both in turn, amber eyes glanced around curiously. "Where's Lionpaw? Once they're 'ere we can leave."
The tom looked down at Weepingpaw, one eyebrow raised at how antsy the young cat seemed to be. "Don' worry, we won' eatcha." He joked with a slight grin. Rockjaw also turned to Newtbelly. "Newtbelly, right? Don' think we've made ah proper acquaintance." His mew rumbled. "Glad ta be gettin' ta know ya."
His whiskers twitched in amusement as he looked back down at Weepingpaw. "Ya too, kid."
He wasn’t really late, no, just shock at his name. He was rather excited actually, his first ever patrol. Sure, it wasn’t all that but a deal, just a normal responsibility, but he loved being useful, so he quickly made his way to the gathered group. “‘M here.” he huffed, flicking his tail in greeting before glancing to the other apprentice. He was tired of having to share experiences with these hold-backs. Honestly what the hell? Give a guy a break. First learning stealth with that Dark-guy who was…off. Then he had to learn fighting alongside the same oddball- and THEN another weirdo was given the same mentor as him. Bleh. He was tired of it.
