Having to keep an eye on a cat was definitely a task she was new to.
She wondered why Fadingstar had entrusted her with part of it, but she usually didn’t bother with questions.
Caveclaw had seen Applebees head out of camp, and for a while, she had been keeping her distance, but she felt if she got noticed at this point it would be suspicious, so, like any normal cat, she would go up to her and talk to her.
Applebees didn’t seem suspicious anyway, Caveclaw guessed that Fadingstar was truly just worried about his sister being missing.
Caveclaw soon came up to the river and sat nearby Applebees, not too close to intrude on space obviously, acting like she had coincidentally been in the same area.
She didn’t know Applebees, not really. But, it would be awkward to just sit in silence. Any cat would think that, plus, Applebees clearly has something on her mind anyway.
“How are you?” She asked.

[hope u don’t mind Caveclaw showin up, it just makes since that she does rn cuz of what she was asked to do]

Alright good, both cats were here. Turning to leave, Duskleaf couldn’t help but walk at a much faster pace than usual, for this sort of thing, time was of the essence. He hoped that Dusklion was safe wherever she was, but it seemed very strange for the deputy to just disappear randomly. As time went on as the patrol headed down through the territory to reach the forested area, he started to become more worried as he thought of possible explanations. None of them good.
"Can either of you find a scent at all?" He asked. For this he'd just have to listen closely and watch for any signs of Dusklion, not being able to smell made the task quite a bit more difficult. 'I really should tell Fadingstar about that…not right away though, later.' He looked around and listened carefully, but there was nothing. Stars, this couldn’t be good. He just hoped Willowtail or Wormbite would be able to pick up her scent, even if it was very faint. "I can't see any signs that she's here or has been…" Although to be fair, that really wasn’t saying much, a minute's walk away and the results could be completely different. He walked away a little bit into the forest, but still nothing.

Willowtail blinked and gave a small blink of suprise as the tom seemed to speed up. Willowtail was no bigger than a maybe 9 or 10 moon old apprentice due to her families genes. Willowtail basically had to trot to try and keep up with Duskleaf. "No." willowtail reported. "Maybe she went down to hunt by that weird mountain side and uh...." Willowtail meowed, pausing her mew as she didn't wish to say the rest of her thought. The new warrior's abnormally long tail flicked upwards as she scented the air. "Oh! There's a very faint scent, but like.... it seems to be covered probably by all the rock and whatever this place has. But its faint as if she left a week ago." Willowtail meowed, the usually cheeirly warrior gave a small frown, whispering to herself. "Remember what Stagheart told you, if the scent is tail search anyways, look for paw marks and fur in branches and such. Look for crushed down brambles as if there was a cat running or in a struggle.... look for other scents that may lead to the missing cat's." Looking up Willowtail sighed gently, "Starclan why can't we get a break!" Willowtail grumbled, padding forward a bit to taste the air.

The flame point wasn't expecting anyone to come out this far into their rugged territory, be it out of cautiousness or not bothering to explore. So imagine her surprise when she felt a presence sitting nearby her but yet they weren't too close to her. Which she saw as good, as much as she enjoyed her clanmates presence she did not like her personal space being invaded. Silence seemed to stretch between the two as she chose to not say anything to the other molly. What was there for her to say to the other cat right now? Applebees came out for the sound of nature and not really to hear some blabbering from clanmates, after all her mind felt like a jumbled mess right now.
"Okay I guess I'd say,"
It was a simple reply, the best thing she had to say at the very moment without giving away too much. Sure she trusted her clanmates but she wasn't one to outright speak her internal feelings out like some love-struck child. "What a'out you' self?" guess she'd continue on this little conversation. Applebees would rather hear the silence than talk but something told her that wouldn't happen today.

“I’m doing okay as well.” Caveclaw answered.
Caveclaw took note that the day seemed rather peaceful, despite everything going on in their clan as of late.
It was strange to think about the way things went on.
Hm.
Her mind was wandering.
She focused back onto the conversation at paw.

Re: RiverClan Mountain Territory
Seabreeze
He/him | Riverclan Lionheart | Moons: 21 | Purrks: Go with the Flow | The Collector | Ultimate Predator |
“Ocean waters rising above your neck
You feel the glass start to crack.”
Seabreeze nodded with a small smile at the apprentice's words, that was a nice change in pace. The last apprentice he taught wasn't so happy about the safety side of things which was a bit ironic given what their passion had been back then before... The lionheart fought to keep the glare off his face and shook the thought from his head, no reason to upset himself and make Covepaw think its his fault in anyway. Though he couldn't help but curse that feline, had used Riverclan and played them for fools and left the moment she didn't get what she wanted... what a joke and truly was the perfect example of all that's wrong with his clan. Better to be rid of her, she would only be trouble for them so it was a clean cut and not a huge loss.
"Well then uhh-" Seabreeze stopped as a sudden spray of water hit the back of his heels and he looked back towards the raging river. Watching as the current twisted and turned and churned about the rocks and logs and sticks in its mass. Hmm. Seabreeze cautiously stuck a paw into the swirling water and was surprised by the suddenness of it. Trying to sweep it from its hold on the riverbed and he was hardly even in the actual river. Yeah. Nevermind, they would do this a different day, back home where the river was kinder and softer. "A-actually... what did you say about land hunting? You haven't much experience but managed to catch something? Nice job, Covepaw, uhhh how about instead of swimming we do some more land hunting practice?" The lionheart took his paw out of the water and faced the apprentice again, "It's a lot worse than I originally thought and I wouldn't want our first lesson to end with us both having a near death experience.... or death in general."
Elegantly spoken as per usual, Seabreeze, great words. Way to scare your apprentice out the gate really but honestly he was a bit surprised Covepaw was speaking about being nervous or scared looking at the river because it was awfully fussy. Had Covepaw seen their river back in their territory at all? If not, then it wasn't like he had a lot to compare with. "Moving a bit too fast, hope you don't mind the lesson change." He spoke at last and started to walk down the mountain again slowly after giving the apprentice time to react and respond, they could head towards the woods.

"Can you feel it? The ocean has a profound healing energy."
Covepaw looked up at his mentor for a moment. The raging river was splashing left and right. The blue-ish green floated along, as if struggling against the white foam. He admired it for a moment before backing away from the edge. If the river was struggling, there was no telling what it would do to him.
"Sure! I wouldn't mind learning properly, I've only seen it, really."
He said enthusiastically, happily trotting further away from the bank. The bank was muddy, pure earth mixed with torrents was no way to spend your day. He agreed with the river comment instantly.
He really wasn't any good at hunting. He'd caught one really small mouse, and he was pretty sure it was already injured. Not to fear! He would learn from his mentor, properly, how to do it. Then he'd catch all the prey for his clan. He gave a longing look far off into the distance. He missed it more than anything he'd complained aloud or in his mind. In all truth, he didn't mind the Mountain Territory. Covepaw just felt an aching sensation whenever he longed for RiverClan's old territory. Perhaps it's because of what happened leading into their temporary exile. He was sickened that the cats would be burried here, if that was true, he wasn't sure. But a little voice in the back of his head said it was. He shook his head, clearing it of any other nonsensical thoughts.
"It's fine,"
He sounded kind of pained. Covepaw almost laughed, not intending for himself to sound like that. He cleared his throat and tried again.
"It's fine, I really don't mind! At this pace, I'll be a warrior soon!"
He joked wholeheartedly, trying to bring light into the situation.

Riftpaw padded along next to Mudsmoke silently, nodding his head to acknowledge the warrior as he spoke. It was good the warrior knew what he was looking for, because Riftpaw hadn’t a clue. Not only was this his first herb patrol, it was his first ever patrol. Despite his calm demeanor, his paws were absolutely tingling with excitement. His first time out of camp! Well, besides when Duskleaf took him and Beaverpaw to train. But this was more exploring!
The young apprentice definitely had a pep in his step, and eagerly sniffed around for the herbs Mudsmoke had told him about. He found himself near a small stream, little white flowers dotting it every now and again. He turned his gaze back to Mudsmoke, who seemed to have found some of those flowers as well and had collected them. ’Those must be it!’ He thought to himself, cutting off a few stems with his teeth before looking around for a few sticks. Not far away he spotted a couple of them littering the ground underneath a tree. One or two of them were a bit too big for him to carry, but he found one decently sized one and two twigs. Hopefully this would be good.
Spitting out the marigold for a moment, he gathered the sticks in his mouth before awkwardly picking the marigold back up and trotting back to his patrol mates.
RIVERCLAN | HULK SMASH! , JUST A SCRATCH , THE COLLECTOR
[ @constellation @Shade. ]
"Rye, the more ya talk, the less I'm listenin'." Eveningthaw grunted at his warmer-hued friend, though the flick of his ear proved that he heard and accepted the challenge readily. Lifting a mighty greyscale head, he nodded towards the camp entrance as Redwater joined them, and lead the strike team to execute a small army of prey.
The soil was rocky under paw, though the heavy coated warrior gave little mind to it. Jaded to the scraping under his feet, he moved like a small mountain through the territory and reached a nice clearing. "Spread out," he said with a flick of his hear, "Let's get this done with quick and easy."
With that, he slunk through the underbrush to hunt for some prey.
Eveningthaw stalked through the tall grasses, dropping low and moving slow and precise. When a shadow crested overhead, he watched the massive creature drop down low to scoop up the mouse he had been tracking.
Little did it know, it was his target. With a powerful surge forwards, Eveningthaw ensnared the brown avian in his paws, mighty jaw clamping down around it's throat. The bird went limp in his grasp, though not without nicking his muzzle with mighty talons. Depositing the beast at his paws, he carried on to hunt some more.
After several minutes of intense focus, Eveningthaw regrouped with his hawk, two mice and two vole in tow. He sat proudly, awaiting the rest of his patrol, and when Ryesong returned he gave him a smug smile then glanced to the hawk resting at his paws. Ryesong's plan to get the stoic warrior to focus in had worked; the prospect of a challenge had driven him well.
[1 hawk, 2 mice, 2 voles]

The earthen tabby wasn't offended at his friends dismissive remark, knowing he surely didn't mean it. Instead, he focused on not tripping on any rocks while reaching their destination.
Once there, Ryesong raised his head and sniffed the air. The area smelled different from back home. It wasn't bad, though. Part of him thought about staying here forever. Maybe then RiverClan couldn't make up stupid excuses to fight with the others since they were far away.
(Gonna roll too, fair's fair: 20, 7, 14, 10, 5)
The first thing that caught Ryesong's attention wasn't a smell. It was a sound. A low slither. Upon careful investigation, the umber feline spotted a reptile low to the ground. A snake hiding within the grass. It was almost beautiful, in the way that it was currently devouring prey of its own, a squirming mouse. Dangerous and sharp, it didn't even flinch to the feeling of life leaving its prey. It killed and didn't know what that meant. It thought everything it did was correct because it was the one doing it. What justice was this? Had mice done something to it? No. It just needed to kill. It was in its nature. Perhaps, if it could think, it would lie to itself and tell itself what it was doing was justice. But really, it just wanted to eat, and it wasn't the only one. With one sharp bite, the snake was no more.
Ryesong separated it from the mouse, though the tiny critter was had swiftly given up. Two birds with one stone, except neither of those were birds and no stones were involved. The RiverClan warrior shifted his attention back to more prey, which eventually led him to a small finch which was swiftly added to his pile.
Upon returning, Ryesong was only slightly disappointed to find out he'd lost. He knew Eveningthaw was more skilled than him at hunting. Still, the competition had been simple manipulation anyway, to get Eveningthaw to loosen up a bit and have some fun. It was good for him. And Ryesong was nonetheless proud of the large snake he displayed to the others.
"Not bad. I'm not sure which one counts for more, the snake or the hawk. Sure, the hawk has more meat on it but the snake looks way cooler. Hey, Redwater, are you participating too?"

Seemed the other warrior who was supposed to come with them decided to skip instead, Falconflight would have to just go on with the apprentice. Pacing quickly through the territory and keeping an eye out for any prey that might be out in the open. It was weird hunting in the mountains, but they had to make do.
"Meet ya back here. Call if ya need anything." the grey tabby mumured briefly, before stalking off without a second glance. After a few moments he caught the scent of a mouse. Getting right to tracking, Falconflight soon found the plump rodent nosing around a few shrubs. Dropping into a hunting crouch, he pounced and killed it swiftly with a bite to the spine. Satisfied with his catch, he made his way back to the meeting spot, prey hanging limply from his jaws
