Smell that? Bluestrike laughs, taking in the horrible stench of fish. That's RiverClan. He studies his apprentice thoughtfully.

"I smell fish. And it's strong." Bouncepaw meows, not with any particular distaste- he doesn't have much thought on it.

Even though he hasn't stepped much close to Riverclan, Bouncepaw can hear the roar of water rushing by his ears, the taste of fish in the air, and the faded scent of Riverclan. Unlike the border with Thunderclan, he doesn't wander in too much. Instinctively he feels like what he did previously may not have been a good idea.

Bluestrike gagged at the scent, then asked, Any questions?

Second on the list was the riverclan border and, as it'd been for what 3(?) moons now it was free of the neighboring clans scent. Just windclan, strong and clear after Silverrose and her patrol marked it recently. Now that was a patrol that did the work even with only one warrior and two apprentices. Good cats all.


In this place the herb order was different.
"Yer goin' for burnet here. Small leafy green shrub wit' leaves wit' jagged edges except theyre soft ta the touch, not sharp. Tall dark pink flower but we're after the leaves today. See like theres a shrub over there."
The tom pointed at an example, once more sitting and supervising, letting the apprentices get to work without help as their punishment.


"Now, yall shouldve learned this in the nursery but here's why patrols are important. When I was a kitten (so an' age ago) the leader had left Twilightstar in a bind. Slackin' warriors an' unmarked borders so our scents were so weak they'd almost faded. Shadowclan an' thunderclan took advantage o' that and stole huge stretches o' land from us just because we didnt mark an' so seemed weak an' an' easy target.

Which was true. There were other factors but huntin' patrols were no better, not showin' or reportin' an' cats died from starvation. This is why I dont tolerate slackin', a warrior that dont do patrols aint a worthwhile clanmate an' can be a burden ta the clan. Ya'll get slack as learnin' apprentices but dont rely on that fer long."
As he spoke, trying to make sure this got through to the apprentices the tom kept a keen eye on the riverclan side of the bank, idly wondering when the other clan would come home. Or if. Maybe they'd all died in exile, though that could be an issue if so.

Ah well, once the work here was done it was time to go.
