Turquiose eyes widening slightly in surprise as Owltalon (literally) disarmed the crab, Silkwisp was quite surprised by her clanmate's expertise in hunting crabs. Who knew Talons had a hidden talent? Not her. She'd have to ask her clanmate for some tips in catching the small critters...if she was willing to spill her secrets of course.
"Woah, that's rad, man!" beaming up at her friend Silk almost forget that they still had to kill the crab. Snapping her focus back onto the crab, she gave it a hard smack with her claws and it soon fell limp. One meal for the clan and one skill learned. A pretty good deal if you asked her.
Silkwisp took great pride in their single victory in catching the crab and was now grinning from ear to ear. "Look at this gnarly little dude! That was awesoms Talons!" Despite it not seeming like a big deal she was happy about it especially since she'd made a new friend along the way.
Just as she was about to give Owltalon one of her affectionate pats on the shoulder a foreign scent hit her. Huh, that didn't smell like Riverclan...or one of the other clans...well she wasn't very good at distinguishing different types of scents but she knew it wasn't from her clan...the only sensible thing to do was check it out.
Suspecting Talons would have smelt it as well, Silk's nose hovered a few inches above the sand in an attempt to follow the trail. Slowly padding after the strange stench, fur on end, the tall she-cat made sure to keep her claws unsheathed. She normally wasn't violent but if whatever they found was aggressive...she'd make sure to give it a good clawing.
As the trail got stronger, Silk became more on edge. What would they find? What if it was dangerous? Then she'd deal with it...she was quite sure she could. And where did the scent lead to? A hole in a rock pile...and a frightened cat? Well she could make out the figure of a cat in the darkness of the hole and she smelled fear scent so it matched the description.
Suddenly feeling very ill at ease she glanced at Owltalon. Silkwisp was quite bad at confrontation so she hoped Talons would take the lead in handling this, after all they were a lionheart. "Umm, hey dude, you can't be here..." she told the outsider, paws shuffling. Well this was embarrassing.
Ele nervously poked her head out. "I don't feel safe leaving this little hole, those scuttly things tried to pinch me and I don't want to be pinched..." she awkwardly admitted, shaking like a leaf."P-Plus, I got lost..." she then also admitted."W-Which way is it to the outskirts? I g-got lost trying to get home, my hooman is probably really worried and looking for me... His moving box is probably in the shutter-door-room by now and I don't wanna leave in case those scuttly things appear again..." she meowed slightly. She had a very sweet and warm voice, like a warm green-leaf day.

"Are you listening, starchild?"
Owltalon was quick to notice Silkwisp's sudden shift in attention. What was it? She wanted to ask, but the words dried up in her mouth. She followed her friend to a... A hole? With a cat? She watched as Silkwisp confronted the outsider. While Owltalon would've appreciated a bit more bite to her tone, she didn't really mind it. Instead, she purred softly at Silkwisp, proud of her for noticing something she herself should've seconds ago.
She listened to the strange black and white cat with a grim expression, her eyes narrowed into a accusing arch. Once they finished, Owltalon fully recognized that this cat probably wasn't a threat... But this was her clan they were talking about. Lost, not lost, threat, no threat, they weren't supposed to be here.
"Well you're right to not feel safe," Owltalon pointed out not unkindly. "I'm sure me or Silkwisp wouldn't hesitate to rip you to shreds." There was no way this cat would enter Riverclan camp without some hostility. They had to recognize that they weren't welcome here so that they wouldn't even think about coming back. Because of this, Owltalon sharpened her tone.
"We will escort you out, but make note of this little one," her fur bristled as she raised herself to her toes. "Don't. Ever. Come. Back. Now get out of that hole. The sooner you cooperate, the less time I get to decide whether or not to tear off your left or right ear."
If that wasn't enough to make them cooperate, Owltalon would fight tooth and claw to drag their privileged tail out of Riverclan camp.

Ele gently nodded, slowly leaving the hole. Her body was covered in cuts and scars, as though she'd been in a few skirmishes before. "...Thank goodness someone is finally showing me mercy..." she mumbled, ears flat as she looked at the ground and began to follow.
Shutter-door-room? Moving box? Hooman? What? All these words made no sense to Silkwisp, as shown by her obvious confused expression, but what she did understand was that the intruder was hiding in the hole because she was afraid of crabs...crabs. Yep, this cat certainly wasn't from any clan and they certainly wouldn't survive in one either.
Owltalon's sterness definitely caught her off guard. She had no idea that Talons could be so cold...of course she knew that her friend was nice and she was just looking out for the clan but still, the change in demeanour made her unseasy. Silk gave a small nod of agreement in response to her Owltalon's second sentence. Harsh but correct. She would tear their pelt off is she had to.
Silently listening to the last of the lionheart's lecture, Silkwisp's gaze flicked to the outsider. Would this frighten them off? It was quite intimidating. It would scare her if she was in this cat's shoes(paws?) Luckily, the intruder obliged to their demands and soon crawled out of the hole.
Watching as the outsider started to follow Owltalon, Silk attempted to give her clanmate a small smile as if saying 'good work' before bringing up the rear of the trio as they made their way to the outskirts. If the stranger tried anything they'd be ready. Even if they didn't look like a threat, especially in their current condition, who knew what they might try?
Well...darn. It seemed as though Wishpaw had wandered off....and she grew very worried. She had just been here! Sweetsong ran the length of the beach, realizing that...Wishpaw was nowhere to be found. Maybe she had gone back to camp? Not willing to wait or look any longer, Sweetsong returned for the crab she had 'hunted' and hurried back in the direction of camp, panicking the entire way.

//This patrol is like, overdue, so I need to wrap it up.
"C'mon then, let's make haste." She flashed Silkwisp a warm smile in response to her nod. She was glad that Silk wouldn't mind accompanying her to the outskirts.
Even though Owltalon tried to maintain a tough exterior, the sight of the scarred up outsider made her heart leap in her throat. An expression of worry flashed across her face before it stiffened out into a firm glance. Even if she wanted to at least patch their wounds, Owltalon was no medicine cat.
The Lionheart sidetracked to bury the crab that was just caught. Why let the food go to waste? While the intervention with the kittypet was unexpected, she wasn't about to let good prey sit out and rot.
She returned back to the group of cats and kept a concerned yet keen eye on the intruder.
Sore. Why did her paws have to be this sore after a little detour to the outskirts? She really wasn't as agile as she used to be... Though, she couldn't be too hard on herself. It had been a long and tiresome walk, it was called the "outskirts" for a reason.
Her paws had never been more excited to finally be back on Riverclan soil... Or sand in this case. "Home sweet home," she smiled at the sparkling hills beneath her paws as she breathed in the salt that filled the humid air.
She trotted back to the crab that she and Silkwisp had caught. Thankfully, it was still buried and untouched. Awesome! If it wasn't, Owltalon wouldn't mind substituting the crab for a possibly guilty seagull (they ALWAYS stole her food. It's like they had a grudge against her!}
She walked along the shore as she tried to pick out some pretty shells to give Silkwisp as some form of thanks. She wasn't sure if her friend liked the same kind of shells she did... Owltalon always looked for the ones with odd bumps and sharp ridges, even some with rotting animals inside (those where her favorite!) but perhaps all of that wasn't very pleasant to Silkwisp considering her very laid back attitude. So, normal smooth pearly shells was all her one eye searched for.
Riverwhisper beckoned with his tail for Mistyshard to follow him. "What should we be looking for? I found this," he meowed, picking up the plant he found.
He heard a rustling and dropped instinctively into a hunter's crouch and crept forward. His eye caught a gull, scavenging for food. He waited until he was close to the bird, and then he leaped, catching it off-guard. The gull squawked, and he pinned it down, yet a wing thwapped him in the face. He quickly gave it a killing bite, and then picked it up. He now had a small red-mark on his cheek, but he didn't mind. He dropped the gull and buried it in the sand.
Clearly alarmed by all the commotion, a mouse scuttled out and Riverwhisper slapped his paw down on it, killing it with a swift bite. He buried it next to the gull.
@starry [the stalk River found could be anything, useful or not, its up to u!]

He/him | Riverclan Lionheart | Moons: 17 | Purrks: Go with the Flow | The Collector | Ultimate Predator |
“Ocean waters rising above your neck
You feel the glass start to crack.”
Seabreeze padded out onto the sand of the beach with a small intake of breath that allowed him to fully take in the comforting scene of gentle waves and salty air. The lionheart quite liked Lionsbeach and he enjoyed having moments of tranquility simply watching out across the water for a few moments though lately he hasn't visited for leisure but rather of hunting and herb gathering, which Seabreeze didn't mind and he found comfort in doing his tasks as well, it was a different kind of comfort. Seabreeze had been trying to find something to do with his paws until he spotted some warriors laying around camp. He had called upon them, but only one was up to coming along with him. Redwater.
Seabreeze hasn't had many interactions with the molly but they had been willing to accompany him on this little unofficial patrol so that must mean something then, right? Well, regardless, Seabreeze needed to know his clan mates if he wanted to be a good lionheart. What kind of lionheart didn't know his own clan mates? The sandy grey-blue tom peered over his shoulder at the warrior behind him, "I was thinking it's been awhile since I've done any scavenging on the beach. I like to bring in the fresh fish that sometimes washes up or get rid of any signs of crow food so we don't get any predators." The lionheart rambled a bit but he didn't think that Redwater would mind too much. It would also be good to keep an eye out for any horsetail... umm, watermint also grows near water right? He wasn't sure, he was really just going off a name that he's heard. He doesn't know what it looks like though, so he couldn't really look for it. Well, horsetail he knew the look off, oh, also marigold right?
The lionheart shook out his fur to clear his distracting thoughts and turned to Redwater again, "There shouldn't be any trouble but make sure to stay within eye sight of me just in case. You are welcome to stay with me though, I'll be walking up the shore line to check for some fish and the likes." He left his words open ended so that Redwater didn't feel like she had to stay or had to go hunt alone, it was completely up to her. Seabreeze shuffled his paws, the sand getting in-between his toe beans but he didn't really mind, he actually quite liked the scratchiness of sand, he was never really sure why.
Redwater padded next to Seabreeze, her reddish-brown fur ruffling in the soft ocean breeze. The she-cat absolutely lived Lionsbeach. The sand, the water… everything about it made her feel free and calm. Though she was surprised that Seabreeze had asked for her to come with himin the patrol, she was happy that she had been asked, after all she was a bit young, and Seabreeze had never asked her to hunt with him before, and she hadn’t really had any interactions with him before.
Redwater loved hunting, the task was her favorite of all her Clan duties. She took in a huge breath of the salt filled air and sighed with happiness. She glanced at the cat beside her than looked out at the sand.
Listening to him talk, a little awkwardly, she let out a small purr. ”Very well. I haven’t been here in about a moon, and I do like hunting here very much.” she stretched, the sand swallowing her paws. ”Lets head down that way then, you lead. she began glancing around.
