"I'm here!!" Oh yeah, she is—coming in last to the round-up by bowling up to Seabreeze and Wavebreaker with a grin so wide it's more of a snarl. Realizing she's the last to get where she needs to be the cobby calico skids to a halt, rocking her weight back and glancing around idly. "Not...that it was a race, or anything," Salamanderpaw mutters, failing to downplay her disappointment. She's quick to find something to perk up about again soon enough, though:
"Hey, you think there's enemies there right now?? Haven Springs I mean. Like a...wouldn't it be cool if there was foxes? Like...little ones, I mean." Salamanderpaw's pretty convinced that she could take a baby fox. Since it's a baby, anyone could do it. The hardest part would probably be the moral dilemma (is it okay to kill a baby?), but luckily those kinds of things tend to be super easy for Salamanderpaw (yes, if it's ugly!). She looks to the two older cats for their take.
Seabreeze blinked his eyes open as he heard his name called, he had been half listening to the deputy after the original call, but honestly he hadn't been expecting to get a patrol. Especially not leading one. Not after his utter failure of the last one. A chance, huh? The lionheart didn't really speak, pulling himself to his paws and made his way over promptly enough. At least considering he rather just... not. Strange, how just a moon or so ago he would be thinking the opposite and questioning oh anyone could be so irresponsible to just not do their job. Ironic even.
Wavebreaker was already gathered up and Seabreeze offered the tom a small dip of his head though again no words. He wasn't in the mood for words, and they weren't necessary yet. Salamanderpaw wasn't one that was on Seabreeze's radar for inability to do their job but it wasn't like Seabreeze has been the most checked in feline recently. He was actually quite the opposite for that matter. Whatever, he'll give a bit more time and then call out for the apprentice He settled down to wait for the apprentice.
As Wavebreaker waited as patiently as he could, he watched patrol after patrol leaving. Two or three had already gone out. He clicked his teeth impatiently, his long mostly black tail twitching ever so slightly through the dirty earth. At some point after he had added a new coat of brown to his tail that did not exist prior, he noticed Seabreeze padding his direction. The multifaceted grey blue of his fur intermittently interrupted by sandy patches overlaid by smatterings of white freckles. The unique look of the youthful Lionheart was hard to miss. As he came forward, the young tom threw in a simple nod. His blue eyes were glazed with a slightly beleaguered look. Not even an apology for being late?
The dark pelted warrior stiffened a little then nodded back, the brown spots covering his fur rippling with the sudden motion. The large tomcat felt slightly put off by Seabreeze's lackadaisical approach to being called up for patrol, after already having missed the previous one... But, he has been training multiple apprentices lately. Wavebreaker reasoned. He fixed his own dark blue eyes briefly on his clanmate, before letting them flutter away pretending to scan his surroundings. Perhaps he is simply a little tired, Wavebreaker reassured himself noting again the tired look in his pupils. Dusklion's announcement that their patrol had swapped a member brought him back to his surroundings. I hope Dewpaw is feeling okay? The little white cat had been through a few tough scraps recently. Perhaps Dusklion was simply taking precautions?
Wavebreakers ears perked up, swiveling as he heard a set of pawpads thundering toward the pair. As he turned to face the newcomer who was skidding to a halt, he was blasted by a wave of dust. He quickly began to cough, shielding his eyes with one of his forelegs. His hacking was fairly heavy, so much so that it surprised him a little and he missed most of Salamanderpaw's initial statements. He recovered just in time to hear the stocky calico apprentice ask about Havensprings. Or rather, ask about Foxes in Havenspring. Great StarClan...she has only just become an apprentice alongside Fadingstars kits and she wants to fight a fox?"Salamanderpaw, first off I would appreciate it if you could exercise a little restraint next time when you approach. I'm not too fond of getting blasted in the face with dirt."
Wavebreaker cleared his throat again. "And second you only just became an apprentice...And even if you hadn't the last thing RiverClan needs is to go looking for meaningless fights." He normally wasn't the lecturing type, but Salamanderpaw had caught him off guard with both her actions and words. He turned to Seabreeze hoping he might share in the sentiment, or at least get this patrol underway.
