GROUSEPAW THE TRAILBLAZER
⋆˖ The Fool ˖⋆ SILVER TONGUE - JUST A SCRATCH - BURN, BABY, BURN
"either or, it doesn't really matter. neither really phase me, it's war and war is madness."
honestly, grousepaw just wanted out of camp. was that such a selfish thing to want? out of camp, if even for just a moment. he had dragged batpaw along for the express reason that the fellow apprentice was interesting, and grouse wanted to figure out his deal. plus, he had a place to earn in this clan (much to his eternal dismay) and he needed to set a good example, so dragging another apprentice out on a training excursion and bringing back some prey and plants wasn't a horrible idea.
but mostly, he just wanted to enjoy the forest. where the pines grew sparse and trailed into cypress and oaks that dominated thunderclan's sprawling forests. he parted his jaws to scent the fresh air, enjoying the warm sunlight on his pelt.
"you know what he's talkin' about, big-man?" grouse asked bemusedly to batpaw, listening to burning'night's aimless rambling. something something evil fate twisters and thunderclan. probably pointless propaganda.
"anyway," he shrugged, only partially listening to burning'night as he focused on the other apprentice, tail flicking idly as he reveled in the nature around them. "i just wanted to stretch my legs a bit, an' you seem cool. figured i'd have you tag along. you seen the borders yet? i ain't." cooler than midnightpath, for sure. he wasn't sure what thorn she had stepped on that made her dislike him so much, but oh well.
As annoying as his underlings were, at least he was being taken from the dull thrum of camp life. Even if it was to stare at some land and gather some plants for... Something. Why had he been dragged along again? He had forgotten amongst the inane rambling of the warrior that was leading the party into the wilderness. The Bat had half a mind to shut him up and leave him sniveling the rest of the outing but in a way he figures that would be even more annoying. So he tunes it out, orange eye watching as the foliage slowly changes as they approach Thunderclan territory.
It takes a moment but his attention turns to the healer at his side when he also begins his rambling, much to the Lord's dismay, so he can offer an irritated expression and a slow blink of his eyes. Curse his luck, having him paired up with these idiots... Perhaps he should have badgered Midleaf before the little spunky one had the chance to get to him first.
"I don't think even he knows what he speaks of." He scoffs, scrutinizing stare falling heavily upon the warrior's back. "Poor creature is a victim of delusion not even I could bestow upon a weary soul. Pity... Hopefully it gets him sooner rather than later."
A grin weasels it's way onto his features when the thought of Burningnight up and dying suddenly becomes a possibility. One day worries such as those would make his heart stop. How funny would it be for it to happen while out near Thunderclan territory? Could blame it on the tree-hugging nuisances.
"These lands I have not visited, no. I don't understand the point in simply staring at them. Seems like a waste of my valuable time. Oi, feeble one!" He calls out to Burningnight from behind, withholding laughter. "Stop your blathering and do something useful, would you? Teach us something or find something to bring back before the Queen herself shreds your pelt from your flesh."
Sleepysunrise was only mildly aware of the conversation (or chatter) going on behind her, unable to fully follow as only Quillpaw's voice rung out. Vibrant eyes remained trained on her younger siblings, always looking, shifting focus not on their shared words but to the action they copied just as they finished marking the border, a subtle nod coming from the young enforcer. "Good."
She praised after a short delay, turning on her paws and - after an obvious gesture - intending to head back with the two.

Alrighty. It was time to lead a patrol it appeared. The large tom would glance from Wolfhive, back down to his apprentice with a grin. "Guess you'll get a quick tour of Herondive Hollow and a crash course on hunting, eh?" Sparrowpelt mused, looking over at Acornfall and gesturing for the group to follow him out into the territory.
...
Once at the location assigned, Sparrowpelt would glance over at Acornfall. "I'm going to give Snowpaw here a quick lesson in hunting so take your time hunting. We'll meet back up here in a bit, got it? Make sure not to go past the ravine like Wolfhive said," Sparrowpelt instructed, making sure the warrior heard him.
Then, his attention turned on Snowpaw. "So, this is Herondive Hollow. It's our border with ShadowClan. Can you tell me what you smell? Also, familiarize yourself with ShadowClan's scent. Very important to know." Sparrowpelt instructed, parting his mouth to inhale the scents around them. He could pick up on a few mice and squirrels in the immediate area.

Snowpaw followed her mentor, bounding on ahead. She would gaze around the forest in wonder, occasionally stopping to check something out, talking nonstop almost the whole way there. "This is my first time out of camp! I can't wait to see EVERYTHING! What are we gonna do when we get there? Oh yeah! Hunting! I'm gonna learn how to HUNT! That's soo cool! I can't wait to show Peachpaw when we're done! Whoa, what was that? Oh, it was just a leaf falling..." etc, etc.
Finally they arrived at their destination. "Okay!!" Snowpaw responded enthusiastically. This is so cool!! She copied what Sparrowpelt did, taking in the scents. An unfamiliar scent hit her mouth. "Ew!" she exclaimed, wrinkling her nose. "Is that Shadowclan?" After Sparrowpelt responded, she tried again, this time ignoring the Shadowclan stench. "Plants and... OH! Prey!" she said instantly, beaming at Sparrowpelt.
