Mistlewhisker followed behind the patrol silently, ears pricked for any indication that the snakes were on the move. But it was quiet. The Deputy paused with everyone else, jerking her head to her assigned cats and splitting off from Dawnstar and her own. Mistlewhisker settled into the brush, making sure her patrol did the same, before staring out into the forest, waiting for the moment to strike. She felt eyes on her, and her single green eye caught two golden ones from across the way. She smirked, and wishing she had two eyes so she could effectively wink, nodded. It was all up to Briarsplash, Sleepysunrise, Gutspaw and Birdpaw.

ROOKFIRE
[ he/him | shadowclan medicine cat app | purrks ]

rookfire followed along, sticking close to dawnstar and thereby the front of the group for once, they had apprentices with them yet he didnt see a reason to keep an eye on them to ensure they follow given they had been selected for a battle patrol. for once, they could look after themselves without rookfire at the back of the group.
dawning woods was a lovely part of the territory during green leaf and early leaf fall but as the deciduous trees shed their leaves and the cold moistness of leaf fall settled ever the area, leaves were turning into mush and tinting the air a uncomfortably heavy and oddly spicy scent. unlike the last time he had visited this place and passed out from the heat, the rotten leaves lay thick enough for it to be hard to see the ground and the air had a cool bite to it which did a good job at easing his discomfort at remembering that incident and absolutely nothing for the uncertainty that he may step on a snake on accident.

on high alert and once again internally thanking sleepy for her night hunting and roachflare for his stealth lesson, rookfire managed to avoid startling any snakes when dawnstar came to a halt. the quiet sound of snakes slithering over moist leaves and dry bark and him want to shiver, entirely unfamiliar and both interesting and mildly terrifying. at dawnstars command, he nodded towards willowpaw to carry her share of herbs up to a tree stump with a slight dip in the middle in which rookfire felt save placing the herbs. that location would provide some safety regarding the rats or snakes messing with the herbs and it was easier to avoid having wind carry the lighter herbs away. in position and ready, he gave willowpaw the okay about either returning to the group or taking her post a few tail lengths away from him to keep the vermin at bay. eyes focussed on dawnstar, the medic attempted to catch her eye again to confirm he was prepared and ready as well.
