DarkPaw was anxious to stray from the cats but WillowWood was taking forever looking for herbs and he couldn’t risk being too tardy. Besides- TuftedTusk seemed to hardly notice him.
The aid apprentice held the herbs tightly hoping his jaw and had a nervous flick of his tail. He had been so- so out of it lately. Clearly- if it wasn’t obvious by his slowness. Just- EveningPaw…she…she should be here. Where was- no- he couldn’t blame this all on her disappearance. This was his fault, his issue.
Finally- camp. “Apologies SleepySunrise…hopefully my patrol mates are close behind. I tried waiting for them to be ready.”

The tom followed closely behind Darkpaw. He hoped Willowwood wasn't far behind him. But he had last seen her looking for herbs then he didnt see her. With a purr, he dropped the herbs by Sleepysunrise's paws. "Here you go, Sleepy. The herbs you requested." He rumbled with a swish of his tail.

⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ Another day, and another day where Houndpaw was being his lovely self. Not at all causing havoc or mischief, simply he was digging a hole. A decently large hole, perfect for a certain hound-shaped cat. He had a plan with this hole. A secret plan, perhaps, but still it was in the baby stages.
He would've continued with his secret digging and planning but hearing Mistlewhisker’s voice called out Scorpionpaw’s name caused him to pause. To cease. Ma was SENDING HER OFF TO THE MIRE??? All he could imagine was Scorpion coming up on the “beaver” (THE monster) and it gnawing through her legs. How could she be a warrior with ALL her LEGS GNAWED OFF?!
GAH. Houndpaw couldn't protect his sister if she was OUT OF HIS SIGHT!! He wouldn't know what had happened until she came back. With his mind reeling, he started to cover up his hole hastily. Grabbing pawfuls of leaves to help hide the sudden shallow dip in the ground, Houndpaw triple-checked it was hidden enough before skittering away.
.. Only to find Scorpionpaw and her patrol were already trailing out of camp. He was further stunned when MistleMa put him on a border patrol with Grottopaw. (...Whoops a-daisy. He hoped his brother wasn't still mad at him for uhm…making him…late…to.. the last…patrol he got …put on…) ((he had to keep him safe ok!!!.))
Quick to snap out of it, Houndpaw darted up to Mistlewhisker. ”MA!!! Scorpionpaw CAN’T-T-T go t-to D-darkwat-ter Water!! It's - it's D-DANGEROUS! I don't want her legs to get gnawed off!!!! Or, or her FACE!!” He barked, taking a huge gulp of air at the end of his sentences. He didn't want her to get hurt!! Nooo!!
“Can't-t - she just-t come ..with us? Then she'll be ext-tra safe. And t-then beaver can't-t get-t her, or - or any monst-ters, " Houndpaw insisted, tilting his head to the side. This was a perfect plan. If he followed his siblings outside, then he could make sure they would never get hurt or NUTHIN.
Oh. Oh boy. A patrol with his very excitable brother. The last time Grottopaw had been sent on patrol with a sibling, the warrior had vanished and they'd been forced to figure the rest out themselves. Double siblings sounded like a disaster waiting to happen.
"She'll be fine," he said flatly to Houndpaw as he approached, sending Mistlewhisker a pointed look - "you know what you've done". "I was there the other day. I still have all of my legs."

Mistlewhisker frowned as Houndpaw immediately launched into wails at Scorpionpaw and Foxpaw heading to the Darkwater Mire. She'd mentioned the beaver, had she not? Grottopaw's reassurance earned a grunt from the Deputy. "Yes, most cats are smart enough to stay away from beavers." Most cats. Oh yes, Houndpaw's encounter with the beaver had simultaneously given Mistlewhisker a chuckle and a headache.
Mistlewhisker led the boys into the territory, her long legs striding over logs and stones, refusing to wait up for shorter legs.

The tom padded towards the camp, making his way into the clearing and finding the medicine cat quickly. He'd place his mouthful of herbs down, pushing them towards her with his muzzle before glancing over his shoulder for his patrolmates to do the same.
"We've returned from an uneventful excursion with a good supply of plants for you," he checked in.
Midnightclaw padded into the clearing, following after Hawkbite, Mallow in their jaws. They quickly followed the tom's movements, placing the herbs down, and pushing them forward gently.

Hawkbite and his patrol were practically already there by the time she waved off Rookfire and Bleedingpaw. The herbs were still at her paws, to which the next patrol's findings were gradually being added. This would definitely turn into several trips. She eyed the patrol with slight caution, nodding subtly at each of their gains. She paused briefly before Shadepaw, noting the grand two herbs she had found. But Sleepysunrise was in an okay mood, and decided to wave it off.

➢ Her steps are quick and quiet, using the shadows to her advantage upon approach and entry into the camp. Sleepysunrise was the target and so that's where she headed. Patrol leader be damned, she was nearly a Warrior, Sootstorm could catch up. "I recovered three celandine. Irispaw and Sootstorm are behind me, not too far, hopefully. Let me know if you require anything else from me, if you do, search the Apprentice's den. Have a good evening." She nods before dropping the herbs off, making a swift leave and joins the shadows in the Apprentice den.
Sootstorm followed Hollowpaw into camp, yarrow and an elder flower clamped between her jaws. Following the apprentice over to Sleepysunrise, she set her bundle of herbs down at the medicine cat's paws before beginning to speak.
"I apologize for the patrol being a little late. Please know it wasnt part of our intentions, Sleepysunrise," The gray-and-white she-cat meowed softly.
Irispaw followed the other two, mouthful of herbs.
While the others spoke, he only stayed silent, simply offering the herbs he had collected as well, with a short respectful nod.
He wasn't feeling very talkative, after all.

As much as she liked keeping to herself... most of the time, she was developing an increasing disdain for those high-and-mighty apprentices who thought they could just walk away after depositing their findings. "If you need anything come find me" - sure, as if they would care to lift more than a single paw... Hmpf. Calm down, Sleepy, she chided; the rest of the patrol was arriving. She didn't care for whatever Sootstorm and what's their face had to say, they were quickly waved off with her paw. She was busy.

The oriental shorthair padded forward, tail raised as it had been as of late to keep mud out of her thinning pelt. She hated snow just as much, if not more, than the effects of it after it left. Mud was never a welcoming sight to... Mudslide. It was gritty, with a weird unbearable texture. She had no idea how some cats could roll around in that stuff, let alone throw it.
The tall she-cat stopped at Sleepysunrise's paws, giving the smaller cat a blink before setting the herbs before her. With that small interaction, she padded off.
Good, Mudslide was consistent. Wildstorm flicked her ear in response to the tail-tip twitch and all-too-happily followed her fellow warrior back to camp in silence. She padded up to Sleepysunrise with the herbs and deposited them next to Mudslide's haul, looking up at the medic with a blink and a nod. "Here ya go." She mewed, dipping her head before turning to head off.

Silentpaw followed the two warriors closely, approaching Sleepysunrise to drop off his findings. After doing so, the tom padded off without another word. He didn't want to waste her time with unnecessary talk and whatnot.

Mudslide and Wildstorm were exactly the same in that regard, and a small part of her wondered whether maybe she was the problem? They were on time and had done virtually nothing wrong, there was no reason for her to complain about some overgrown apprentices and close-to-dust warriors seeking the comforts of their own selves after a patrol. The thought was quickly cast aside, she didn't feel like getting a sour mood today. Her cheek was puffed up as she openly pouted, noting the evident lack of Silentpaw until much later. Late. Her eyes narrowed on the apprentice as he too had the audacity to leave without a word. Without so much as recognition of his offence.
"Plantbrain."
She called after him, her voice too quiet, too even, to be normal. "Leaving, are you? Most warriors are apologetic when they're late... But you're not 'most warriors', are you? You're the -" he tone grew mocking "- ever so useful medicine cat apprentice~"
She got up, padded up to his side then turned to circle around him. When did he get so conceited? Maybe he always was. She had seen so little of him she never cared to notice. Her face grew hard as she finally turned an eye on him again. She stopped. She let the silence drag on for several long moments. "Go run check-ups in the nursery. Replace whatever herbs you use with new ones. Today."
She leaned in close. "You're doing great, kid." If demotion is what you seek. She let the unspoken words heavy in the air, offering Silentpaw a tight, cold smile. She had another patrol to scold, and it wasn't her place to go against her grandmother's decision.
[ @/Star - Silentpaw is tasked with checking the kits and queens for sickness. If any of them are found to be sick and treated, he will have to gather a patrol and find new herbs to replace the ones he used. This punishment is due by May 6th.

Sleepysunrise deadpanned as she looked at the currently present patrol, eyes locked on the single herb Willowwood brought in. She was quiet for a long moment, as if her mind was struggling to process this; frankly, by the look on her face, one would've thought she was about to burst into tears. After her initial deadpan face, her nose was scrunched indignantly and her eyes wide and locked on the herbs at her paws.
Finally, she began to speak. "...A good for nothing enforcer, a can't-be-on-time aid, and... You."
What did she do again? Whatever. Her eyes locked on Tuftedtusk. "You, are meant to be an elite of this clan, and yet rumour is you don't do a thing. I see why they say that now."
She turned to Darkpaw. "You, are meant to work under me. And yet you can't do so much as complete your patrol on time. It seems to me like you can't take this seriously, and I don't like wasting my breath on placeholders."
Her eyes turned to Willowwood. "Do you even exist?"
She turned her gaze on the three of them, stepping back. What idiots. kill them, it whispered, and she nervously flicked her ear to chase the voice away. It repeated like a mantra in the back of her mind, and she pursed her lips in turn, zeroing in of the nothingness between their heads. "You're all demoted. Well done. You succeeded at being...-" Wastes of space, like me"- nothing. Oh! And since we already have a Darkkit, you can be... Latekit. Since you're always late."
She giggled to herself.
[ Due to being late, Latekit, Tuftedpaw and Willowpaw have all been demoted until May 6th. Have your character approach Sleepysunrise after that date to get their rank reinstated. ]

Sleepysunrise is ShadowClan's current Medicine Cat.

rookfire had lingered relatively close to sleepysunrise after delivering his own herbs, watching with displeasure as a whole lot of patrols showed up late, including silentpaw. stars if he hadnt already thought the medicine cat apprentice wasnt worthy of the position he would now at last. in his opinion, something as simple as reporting his patrol on time should be among the responsibilities he could keep up with. his white tipped ear flicked as sleepysunrise scolded him for tardiness. good for her. ideally, she'd have reason to demote him soon and get a more suited apprentice.
as darkpaw, tuftedtusk (stars above) and willowwood showed up late as well, rookfire stood. he held his tongue, letting sleepysunrise do the scolding but stepped closer. good for nothing enforcer was pretty fitting. there was a reason rookfire had originally challenged him anyway.
"willowpaw, tuftedpaw, we'll head out and practice how to properly patrol." he ordered with a cock of his head in sleepysunrises direction, silver eyes flicking to darkpaw latekit. he was lucky for now, demoted to kit he'd get to skip the patrol. well enough, two cats were a decent number for a patrol anyway. perhaps latekit, if he had a history of being late, would get a opportunity to head out alongside them next time. though, ideally there wouldnt be a 'next time' if he got himself sorted out.
Briarsplash padded in with her patrol, looking disgruntled (more than usual, that is). Their quiet trip to Saltmeadow Marsh had taken a rather unexpected turn, and one she was not happy with. Her pelt was a bit messy and her brow was pinched, as if she'd been in some sort of scuffle.
"Some scum loner came and attacked us while we were on patrol," she huffed as she padded up to Mistlewhisker. "Came outta nowhere and went straight for Midnightclaw. Black cat with a front white paw, green eyes, scar over his left eye — probably blind." She lashed her tail, clearly fuming that he'd gotten away. "He was young, probably around a new warrior's age. Sorta familiar for some reason, but I didn't recognize him. I tried to catch him, but he got away and said that he and a group of others would be coming back soon to attack our camp. I chased him as far as the end of the border to make sure he'd gone."
Scowling, Briarsplash glanced back at Midnightclaw. "Midnightclaw took the most hits — they were locked in battle for awhile, and she fought well. I told her to go to Sleepysunrise and Silentpaw right after this, unless you've got any more questions."
It wasn't good news, and Briarsplash's gaze was both smoldering and sober as she met Mistlewhisker's eye. The she-cat knew not to take threats lightly (she'd been a roguish loner herself, in the past; Briar knew well how dangerous they could be) and was not happy about letting this one slip away.
The enby padded after Briarsplash, quickly sitting down, wincing in pain. She hissed under her breath. She should have chased after that loner. Why didn't she? Midnightclaw looked over at Mistlewhisker's waiting for her response.

roachflare gave tuftedtusk a nod as the enforcer suggested returning. the walk was quiet, as was the border. bug cleared their throat before approaching mistlewhisker. "n-nothing out of the..ordinary at whis..whispering wetlands"
rookfire let out a low grunt, ears flicking, "alright lets head back." he'd originally intended to catch some more, but since mudslide had certainly pulled her weight, there was really no need to indulge them any more. it was about time to return anyway. the walk back was ordinary, not like he had expected anything else, mudslide didnt talk much and if shadowpaw decided to yap along, they could entertain themselves. as they re entered camp, rooks striped tail swishing with mild curiosity as he eyed the other cats. his group had certainly caught more than the average group would, much to his pleasure.
the enforcer waited his turn before stepping up to mistlewhisker, "all good, everyone did well" he mumbled around the prey still secured between his teeth before giving the deputy a nod and trotting off to deliver his catch.
"Nice rabbit Rookfire by the way." Shadowpaw said with a certain gleam in her eyes. She wanted to try a bit of rabbit herself also she hadn't ever tried to get a rabbit before. And hell, a nice compliment never hurt anyone. Thinking about it, her main diet was frogs. Perhaps if she ate enough she could leap like one...
