"Bitternpaw," Petalrot calls, poking bug's head into the apprentice den and looking around for the aforementioned cat. Though bug has no apprentices of bug's own to train, bug's taken it upon bugself to help out when he's able to, and if that means finishing up border and landmark tours... well, a walk around the territory might be nice, so Petalrot won't complain.

"Hillstrider's mentioned something about you still needing to see our borders," the tortoiseshell tom intones once the silver apprentice joins him, "so I figured I'd help out a little and get those underway for you if you're willing. If there's anywhere else you still need to see, we can hit those while we're out as well."

Busy grooming himself, he pauses when he hears the call of his name. Turning to glance at Petalrot from his spot in his nest, an ear flicks curiously before he's rising to his paws and stretching out his back. Viewing the borders was one of that last things he needed to do to become a warrior, right? And if bug was offering then who was he to refuse? Padding toward the entrance of the den, he slips past bug out into the camp clearing with eager eyes.

"More than willing. I'm ready to go when you are."

Hm, eager, that was good. "Right then, let's get going." That settled, bug ushers the apprentice out of camp and begins the journey to their first landmark.

Herondive Hollow was first up on their list, and as pine slowly transitions to oak, it becomes apparent where they are. "Our ThunderClan border, Herondive Hollow, named for the simple fact that this place used to be inhabited by large flocks of herons. Not so much anymore, though." Bug flicks an ear, green gaze glancing around warily.

"Keep an eye out for evidence of two-legs," he intones. After what happend here with Mirepaw... you can never be too careful.

"Not anymore? Why not?"

Where did they all go? If flocks of herons existed here in such numbers that it granted the land it's namesake, where they did they get off to? At the mention of two-leg activity he freezes up a bit and glances about expectantly, as if at any moment one would come stumbling at him with outstretched arms and he'd have to high-tail it back to camp. That wouldn't be very pleasant. He wanted see the borders as quickly as he could. Golden gaze falls upon Petalrot once more, both expecting an answer from bug and expecting to move along away from such a seemingly dangerous place.

"Since the creek's gotten drier and the green-leafs warmer, the birds don't come here to roost as much anymore," bug explains, glancing at the apprentice, noting how he seemed to freeze at the mention of two-legs. Smart kid. "C'mon, let's get going. No use lingering here longer than we need to."

Next up on the list was Saltmeadow Marsh, their border with RiverClan. The marshland here is almost perpetually squishy and muddy, and as such it has never been among Petalrot's favorite places to patrol.

"Saltmeadow Marsh," bug introduces the land, "our border with RiverClan. Right now, the borders aren't quite as defined as they normally would be - no rotten fish in the forest to keep up with their side 'n all that - feel free to cross it if you spot some herbs the medicine cats can use, or if you find some prey."

Cross the border? Wasn't that against the rules? Even if Riverclan wasn't in the forest for the time being the apprentice found it difficult to justify crossing into their territory to benefit off their land. Though he would say that he had a decent ability to hide his thoughts and feelings the obvious distaste is apparent in the way that his ears fold back in disapproval. He says nothing on the subject, moreso scanning the land for any sign of recent Riverclan activity.

"Seems like they've been listening to the exile... Can't smell them very much from here."

She/her

Well, actually, Midnightpath had been here the entire time. Why hadn't anyone addressed her? Because, she was taking this as a learning experience as well–a learning experience on how to lead an apprentice through the territory on a tour. If she was going to be teaching an apprentice any time soon, she had to know how to teach them. So, she had been following behind them, making sure that they'd all keep safe while also keeping mental notes as to how to host a lesson of this type.

So, yes, she had been here the entire time, just toddling along. Quiet but definitely here!
