That was all that was going through Antlerbranch's mind lately. He has gotten over Wisteriawren...kinda. So he was sorta surprised when he was called on a border patrol with two youngins. The brown tom sighed, getting up and trodding over, not bothering to make his fur look presentable. "Aspenpaw," the warrior muttered, taking a seat next to his patrolmate. Now to wait for Starrypaw, and then they could get moving. Maybe he could also get a new flower while he was out on patrol, to replace the long-gone wilted flower he had worn. Antlerbranch's maw parted as a yawn escaped him, looking around for his final patrol member.

At the call of his name, the Lionheart bounded over to Owltalon. He returned the deputy's smile with a warm blink, nodding as she instructed him to take Floodsight and Peachspring out to check the ThunderClan border. "Sure thing, Owltalon." He mewed with a nod, turning to call out to his two patrolmates. "Floodsight, Peachspring! I'll be right here when you're ready to leave."

A patrol huh? This time, Owltalon was the one who announced it. A little different from the usual voice but she'll get used to it soon anyways. And when that day comes, it would be as if it always been. Floodsight swiftly made her way around the group of cats gathering. Her gentle silver frame arched into a stretched before acknowledging herself being called up. For ThunderClan border? Oh there they go again. At least this time the water had cleared and otters were gone.
Floodsight padded up to her patrolmates. Brokenstream and Peachspring. The former was her friend, of which she gave him a soft smile whilst waiting for Peachspring to arrive. "Ready to take on the day?"
Rounded ears perked as the short molly heard her name called out by Owltalon. Patrols once more, huh? This time a border patrol, to ThunderClan none the less. Peachspring didn’t like those stupid squirrels. Not one bit. The molly trotted over to where Brokenstream and Floodsight had gathered, carrying a cheerful disposition as usual. An easy smile graced her features as she greeted her Clanmates. ”Mornin’ Brokenstream, mornin’ Floodsight!”
☘︎ It was about time she got to lead a patrol. Her tail flicks as she looks for her patrol mates… Lionsbeach… That place where she got attacked by a seagull… She chuckled a bit and padded over to Softpaw. “Daisyfur better show up soon or we’re going without em’ Okay?” Her tail flicked.

Daisyfur had probably spent a little too much time grooming her pelt this morning, and she might've been a tad delayed arriving to the patrol she was assigned to; but hey, at least she looked nice! "I'm here, I'm here," The tiny warrior reassured, offering a soft smile to both Pebblesplash and Softpaw. "Ready?"

Starrypaw took a while to leave her warm den and her soft dreams.
She had to get up and visit the Shadowclan borders. Were the dark cats planning something? She hoped they wouldn't stir up any trouble there, since she couldn't fight yet.
She gave her chest a quick lick before slipping out of her den graciously, then searched for Antlerbranch and Aspenpaw. Huh, Aspenpaw! She was so glad that she could have a familiar face around!
"Hello, Aspenpaw. Antlerbranch." she gave them a quick nod and waited for the older cat to guide them outside. Finally, she could be out again...
The combination of being somewhat forgetful and quite timid did not often bode well for Berryshine. Especially at times like these, when it came to basic things such as the role of assigning patrols. Cobwebfern had been a lovely dear and had done it for her last moon, but this time, the small brown molly forced her paws to stand in the midst of the clearing. She parted her jaws to speak, then hesitated, only a small sound coming out at first. Stars. She was still just as bad at this as she was when she was a younger 'paw. But she was the full medicine cat now; things had changed, and so had she. Well, in some ways. In other ways, she still felt two pawsteps shy of that nervous wreck that'd nearly froze the first time she'd tried to so much as speak in front of her Clanmates.
Almost wanting to scoff at herself for the self-deprecating thoughts, Berryshine shook her head, clearing her throat. Okay. Try again. This time, her soft voice was elevated above the chatter as best as she could help it, letting it ring out across the clearing.
"R-...RiverClan!" Oh, everyone's looking. It's alright, you're grown now. Ahem. "I-It's time again for herb patrols. I'd appreciate all the help we could get..."
As she watched some cats filter out of dens or approach, Berryshine took in another deep breath, doing her best to quell the nerves. Even if she'd spoken in front of the Clan just a few times before like this, it didn't get that much less nerve-wracking. Alright! Time to start. Breathe. Anndddd...

Seagrass Fields
"Honeystep!" Berryshine called the chimera warrior, giving her a nod of greeting. "Could you please take... hm... Floodsight and Aspenpaw to Seagrass Fields, a-and gather some poppy? They're small red flowers with black centers that u-usually grow together, but the cold likely killed them by now. So be on the lookout for small black seed pods that might've fallen off the dead flowers, a-and keep them intact — that's what we need."
Alright, let's see... squinting her eyes at the assembled cats, Berryshine flicked her skinny tail towards a white-and-black molly nearby. "Snowstripe... c-could you take Adderstrike and Drizzlepaw to Lionsbeach? We're l-looking for dandelion, those small yellow flowers that grow everywhere. They're likely all dead by now because of the cold, but we just need the roots and and leaves, if you happen to find any intact — the ground isn't frozen yet, so some roots may be good under the surface."
Okay, just a little more... after another breath, Berryshine turned to a few others. "Sunsetgleam, could y-you take Duskpaw, Amberdusk, and Featherpaw to the general territory a-and get us some cobwebs? As much as you can carry. Usually helps to carry them on sticks. W-We're running low, and those are essential." She knew spiders may be dying off more in this cold weather or burrowing deeper in trees or under rocks and bushes, so they may have to dig a bit. But anything would be helpful for the vital item.
Okay, that should be good for now! Dipping her head, Berryshine dismissed the patrols with a quick call after them. "Please feel free to ask i-if you have any questions!"

Honeystep's heart skipped a beat when she was not only put on patrol but also made the leader! She had been failing the clan in her mind and was stuck inside her head with too many buzzing thoughts what she could do to help the clan she ended up doing nothing. She wasn't sure she was ready to be a leader yet, but she was trying to get back into the good graces of the clan again. Right. "Floodsight... Aspenpaw, I'll be right here!" She called out their name before sitting down and waiting for them. She knew it took sometimes a bit of time for a cat to show up so she was ready for that.
Adderstrike purred at the thought of going on a patrol again. It was always nice to go out and stretch her legs once in a while. She wondered how it would go with Drizzlepaw, but soon got an idea. Since it would be a herb patrol she could first gather the dandelions, showing Drizzlepaw how to do it and letting him know what they needed..... Which speaking of.... Adderstrike ran away from Berryshine without much of a word but this was only to gather Drizzlepaw.
Sunsetgleam quickly bounded towards the clearing as they heard their name being called. They have not been on a patrol in a good while and it was nice to hear them finally being put on one again. And they're going with Duskpaw! ..the patrol is looking for herbs (one for cobwebs, at that) instead of hunting so that doesn't exactly matter much. But if they get put on a hunting patrol they'd definitely teach Duskpaw how to hunt while they were there if she hasn't beforehand.
"Duskpaw, Amberdusk, Featherpaw; I'm over here" they called out. It seems like their patrolmates haven't arrived yet. Cobwebs are essential for the upcoming leafbare. If they can, they'll get as much as possible. And they weren't really scared of spiders so they'll be able to put out their best effort.
