Sunflowerswirl
|| She/her | ThC Warrior | Moons: 15 | No Purrk ||

Olive green eyes blinked and she stopped walking as a voice made its way to her ears, the warrior turned and found herself facing the warrior that had been talking about her with Antpaw. Sunflowerswirl wasn't too familiar with her outside of names and also knowing that she was Antpaw's mother. Sunflowerswirl mustered a smile but it didn't quite reach the eyes as it normally would. "No worries, you weren't wrong with what you said. I could be doing more about the clan than I am... Though I hope you don't mind but I-" She stopped speaking as another cat approached her. Risingstorm, she has been seeing that tom around more often than not lately since their encounter by the prey pile not too long ago.

"Oh... You can join me if you want." The Molly looked to her apprentice's mother again and gave a polite dip of her head, "You'll have to excuse me, thank you." The warrior gave a nod to Risingstorm before making her way out from the clearing and into the territory. Perhaps just focusing fully on hunting will make the bad thoughts go away and if the bad thoughts go away then the bad feelings would go away. That's what Sunflowerswirl had to keep telling herself. "Thank you for joining me, Risingstorm, I was thinking that we could just do some hunting." She spoke, trying to keep her voice steady as she pushed at the memories forcibly to be buried deep where she couldn't see even a glimpse of them.

Flowernose

Flowernose looked between Sunflowerswirl and Risingstorm. She nodded and meowed, Of course. Flowernose dipped her head at Risingstorm and padded towards the warrior den.

Wolfhive had deliberately left the type of patrol vague - mostly because he hadn't decided. Normally, he'd like to do training patrols with apprentice and mentor pairs, but Antpaw was a crabapple and he wasn't sure how he'd handle this route. Unlike border and hunting patrols, the purpose was solely educational - even if no prey was brought back, as long as the apprentice practiced their techniques it was a success.

Admittedly, it was hard to determine what exactly Antpaw needed training-wise. He hadn't exactly been open to discussion prior to mentioning the word patrols, and Wolfhive hadn't a chance to talk to Sunflowerswirl. But if it was anything like Wolfhive's own experiences.. "Gonna be a hunt, it'll be good for you to get out and stretch your legs." Less feeling confined, an opportunity to burn off some steam and take his anger out on prey. Cleanly, hopefully. "I'll be talking to her once you guys are back from it, but I also want to talk to you again to see how you feel it went since you're concerned with her abilities. Does that sound like a plan?"

He had considered joining them on the patrol, but thought better of it. He didn't want to micromanage them - he wanted Sunflowerswirl to have a chance to work with her apprentice without feeling added pressure of being watched. Wolfhive wasn't interested in making her feel bad, he simply wanted to determine if there were any issues that needed to be addressed before things could get worse.

Badgerpaw

AMAB but no pronoun preference | 10 moons | a black cat with white markings and icy blue eyes

Badgerpaw surveyed the clearing from where he was sitting, his lean body half-hidden by the long fronds of the ferns next to him. His ears flicked here and there in reaction to the chatter of his clanmates as he enjoyed the feeling on his pelt of the few rays of sun that got through the clouds and leaves, waiting for someone to disturb his peace, whether it be for the actual need for help, or merely for their own entertainment.
