Slypaw padded out from behind the warrior's den. He gave one last glare behind him before turning to his mentor. "Sorry for bein' late" he said, putting on a smile. "A... Family matter came up, but I took care of it". He winced slightly at the pause. You can do better than that Slypaw he scolded himself internally

Acornfall could practically sense Briarmask's presence near him above everything else. But he forced his focus on Chasmpaw's response. He opened his mouth and was about to say that maybe she should go back when Slypaw approached. Acornfall could feel his eyes narrow slightly, tail tip flicking from side-to-side. The brown tabby decided he'd keep an eye on things for now rather than jump to any kind of conclusion. "It's okay, Slypaw." He meowed, keeping his tone reassuring.

"Alright all, who's ready?!" Acornfall shouted excitedly, sweeping his tail to gather his patrol. Stars this was a full party! Acornfall set out to lead his tour patrol, glancing behind him to keep tabs on his apprentices, but also Briarmask. "We'll start with the borders alright? Let's get out blood pumping!" He mewed loudly, picking up the pace of his patrol to a steady bounding step. Trying to keep his mind focused as they approached Herondive Hollow. Acornfall paused near the ThunderClan side of the border and turned, facing his patrolmates and his apprentices. "This is Herondive Hollow, our ShadowClan border." He explained, waving his tail at the line of trees that stopped at the gorge.

"Learn this scent well. I know it's rather unpleasant," he wrinkled his nose as he spoke, "but it's important to learn the scents of the other clans." He angled his ear behind him. "Hunting here isn't ideal. And I'd rather not take y'all over the tree bridge to mark this border. So if it's okay with all here, I'd rather move on to the next border and show you how to mark borders there." He meowed, glancing at his patrolmates before resting his eyes on his apprentices. "Any questions?"

"Why is their stench so fowl?" he questioned, his nose scrunching up at the scent. "Do they roll in dung or something?" he joked

Nightwhisper nodded. Following the Tom in an eery silence that only those close to him would call normal. Nightwhisper looked at Acornfall. Nodding slightly as he heard his best friend lecturing his apprentices. Nightwhisper looked at Slypaw and decided to answer the apprentice half dumb question. "They think we smell like dung to. Different cat scents different enviroments." The blck furred Tom added in a gruff tone, "Different levels of loyalty" Nightwhisper had held a grudge against Windclan and Riverclan ever sense the battle. Riverclan had killed his mates beloved sister, and Windclan had a certain Tom he'd get his claws on one day. Nightwhisper flicked his tail once as he noticed Acornfalls look. Rasing a cat brow he mewed. "Acornfall...?" Nightwhispers tone softened ever so slightly as he placed his jet black tail on his friends shoulder and gave him a questioning. "Are you ok" look.

Briarmask

༊*·˚

Briarmask may be low-key freaking out. Of course, she may look as if she's constipated, but she's really just very uncomfortable being near so many cats. What does she even do? Is she expected to teach? What would she even say? Wasn't Acornfall the one who the apprentices needed to teach them? Would he feel like she's over-stepping her boundaries? Or is she supposed to be making small talk with him right now? That would probably be distracting if he's leading a tour, right? Starclan, her brain is shutting down from all these questions! She can't even answer them herself.
A small squeak escapes her lips as a realization comes to light, which leaves her momentarily paralyzed from embarrassment before she shakes it off and notices she stopped walking. So she swiftly pads after the group, refusing to actually run, as that would only draw more attention to herself. When she catches up, she proceeds to fall in line with Acornfall, her face pointed in the direction of her own paws.

"Hey, Acornfall..." She mumbles, taking a deep breath and adjusting the volume of her voice, "Am... w-what should I-I be doing? T-teaching? Because I don't know how... and- and I don't know if y-you are b-b-busy, but... and I-I'm much too awkward for my own g-g-good... I also d-don't know how to- how to interact w-with younger cats... uh- BUT ANYWAY...!"

Oh gosh, that last part was loud. It seems she was carried away in her rambling and yelled without meaning to, of course she didn't mean to. She never means to do anything bold or obnoxious, hopefully she didn't hurt him, she yelled right in his ear-

"Oh my- Starclan- a-ah, I'm so sorry! Did that hurt?" She splutters, her eyes wide and her face impossibly red, "I-I'll just shut up... Starclan, why am I such a bother? But what I was meaning to say, well, actually nevermind! I- I'll just get out of your way, tell me if you get a headache, when we get back to camp I'll accompany you to the medicine den... or not. You don't have to go with me, I'm sure you're able t-to go by yourself just fine, y-you're perfectly c-c-capable I'm sure... I-I'll just stop talking n-now, I'm s-sure I'm just escalating t-t-things, I'm sorry again!"

She turns to pad to the back of the group, her expression a mix of mortification and guilt, tail trailing along the ground as she takes a few steps forward. Just focus on the patrol Briar, stop causing problems!
