A ghost..? Frankly, Silent had no clue. The massive warrior looked down, at where Smokefern was, and looked for a long moment, green and blue eyes flicking back and forth. Finally, he said, "Don't know." Before turning back awkwardly and continuing on.

Wildpaw hopped over excitedly, nodding his head quickly to Mistlewhisker before looking around for the others. He waved his tail at Blackjaw, despite not being on the same patrol. He was pretty excited to see so many others and get to know more clanmates. Like, unreasonably excited. He was practically vibrating where he stood.
He had some semblance of an idea on how to hunt, thanks to Morningpaw, and he REALLY wanted to put it into practice, now! Oh, and wasn't he on patrol with an enforcer? SO COOL! HIS FIRST PATROL WAS WITH AN ENFORCER! AND Mistlewhisker remembered him and included him in a patrol. This was the best day EVER!
Whoa, boy... they've got another energetic one. This one was almost like Bleedingpaw when that golden tom first started training.
The large she-cat raised a whisker brow as her name was called with—yep, you guessed it (was Mistlewhisker out to get her?)—Hillstrider, Blackberrybat, and Wildpaw. The latter of which was already bounding forward, stars in his eyes.
Briarsplash sniffed, regarding the 'paw with her usual cool stare. He hadn't said anything yet, surprisingly, but she swore that he was shaking as if he were freezing. No... just excited. She cleared her throat, giving a curt nod and nothing more.
Well... she should make sure of something first. Because it'd be really annoying to find out too late. As she waited for the other two warriors, she shifted on her haunches, peering down at the young one. Just apprenticed, no doubt. He was... small, to her.
"You know how to hunt yet, kid?" She grunted abruptly.

Hillstrider sidled up beside Briarsplash, unreasonably close for anyone else but he was too oblivious to notice. "What is UP my dudes! Are we absolutely stoked for this patrol? Briardude, it's been forever since we've patrolled together, I'm so hyped to be with you again." He was also painfully oblivious to just how lovesick and ridiculous he sounded. Briarsplash was just his best buddy! She was cool and talented and very pretty and SO scary when she wanted to be like WOW.
He grinned at Wildpaw, the apprentice's excitement matched by the warrior. Sometimes Hillstrider forgot he wasn't 10 moons anymore. "Is this your first patrol? Aw hell yeah dude! We'll make it super special for you." He nudged Briarsplash with his shoulder cheerily, energetic tail accidentally brushing hers once or twice.

Another day meant another set of patrols and once more they got called out just for one of them. Thankfully it was a border patrol this time and not a herb one, hunting would have been fine too. Though they might’ve gone crazy if they got sent on a herb patrol, they didn’t need another mishap of getting the wrong plant. Wispypaw traces the scent of squirrelrise to the entrance of the camp, for once they didn’t need to hunt down or wait for a patrol member. ”Here” they simply said as they came to a standing halt besides the warrior, ready to head off.

Ohhhh, Wildpaw was pretty sure THAT was Briarsplash! She was already here! Almost as quick as him! His excitement could not be quelled as she dipped her head to him and he returned the gesture, any cool or aloofness completely lost on him. SHE ACKNOWLEDGED HIM! The excited shaking was getting worse, in a way that certain tiny dogs wished they could compare with.
"YEAH! Morningpaw taught me how to hunt when I was still a KIT! It was SO NICE! He's my best friend, now, and our nests are RIGHT next to each other so we can talk and bug each other and I can sneak up on HIM, now! OH, Let me show you!" And with that, the apprentice dropped into a very sloppy, but somewhat familiar, crouch. His balance was pretty badly thrown off by his trembling.
If anyone really knew, he looked exactly as a kit would look practicing stalking in a camp with hardly anything to worry about. The main reason he was quiet was because there were certainly no leaves or twigs to step on, not because he was good at it. At least he had the form down, more or less.

Briarsplash made a little cringe and flattened her ears each TIME that Wildpaw EMPHASIZED his words like THAT. Oh... boy. She definitely didn't need to hear all the yap about Morningpaw, but before she could interrupt Wildpaw, the young one was showing her the hunting crouch anyway.
And it was... subpar. Part of it because he was trembling with enough jitters to wake up the whole forest, and the other part because he was just an inexperienced lil guy. The Enforcer inwardly groaned, knowing she'd have to correct this; not that she wasn't used to teaching, but just that she hoped this enthusiastic guy wouldn't scare off all their prey.
"Seems you know the form, but none of the technique," she observed flatly, her gaze sharp and critical as she assessed the little tom. With a sigh, she heaved herself to her paws, padding over to the side of the apprentice. She fell into her own version of the stance, compensating a bit for her stockier frame, but roughly the same as his. And much, much more practiced and steady. "You gotta keep yourself still, or else you're gonna scare off all the prey before you can even see it. Quit... shaking, like that. You need to tighten up, but not too tight to where you can hardly move your paws. Got it? Look at mine."
Briarsplash sounded a bit impatient, but well enough that she wanted the kid to learn. Both for efficiency's sake, and knowing that she didn't want to have to correct him a hundred times while they were out there (but oh, she just might). But before she could get further into her demonstration, a familiar scent touched her nose, and all at once she got that accursed tingle in her belly. A fluffy orange pelt brushed hers, far too close as always, and made her falter in her rigid composure.
Oh, stars be darned. Hillstrider sounded even more... doting than usual, and the she-cat didn't know if the flutters in her stomach were nausea or flattery. Maybe both. Her skin felt hot under her fur, and she let out a cough, trying to regain her bearings after abruptly cutting off. She should tell him off, tell him to quit acting like Wildpaw's age, to make some space for the love of StarClan—
"Er, uh... yeah. Right."
That... wasn't the snappy response she'd intended. Especially since that day that he'd saved Houndpaw from the beaver, it seemed that she could never quite tell Hillstrider off like she wanted. (maybe she didn't want to—)
When he nudged her shoulder, Briarsplash clenched her maw, feeling a prickle down her spine and a flush in her chest. Mmmmnope... nope nope. Inhaling quickly through her nose, she flicked her tail sort of away from Hillstrider's (but it brushed hers anyway), and she cleared her throat.
"Hillstrider, Wildpaw will likely need some pointers. His form is messy and he's a bit... excited. You and I will have to make sure he doesn't scare everything off," she meowed gruffly, not meeting either cats' eyes. "Let's go."
Then she led the way to Evergreen Grotto, having an all too familiar feeling that a certain someone was going to be sticking far too close.

The chestnut tom looked up from where he was seated the moment his name was called. Ears twitching as much as they could, with how rather floppy they are it was hard sometimes to even lift them. Without anything further, he’d gotten up. Oh geese. What was her name again? He couldn’t remember, he felt a little bad. She was their Medicine Cat but he just couldn’t keep the name in his mind.
Mildly confused as to why the last one was tacked on. Did she…did she need a babysitter? What for? What did she do? Either way, not something he needed to care for.
”Well. We’ll get as much as we can.” he hummed. Taking his place by the white speckled molly.

Mushroompaw flicked her floppy ears, her fur swaying with the motion before she was wishing her sister goodbye for a time. Once more the young apprentice found herself on a patrol and this time, she learned what she was supposed to do! There would be no messing up! Not that the russet feline minded her 'punishment' she got to meet a new cat and go out on patrol again so it was honestly fun!! Though at the same time, something told her that saying her punishment was fun would only result in a more boring punishment.
"Hello again, Owlthroat!!" The apprentice greeted as she padded up to the little group, "Sorry it took me a moment, Dovekit wasn't happy about not being able to come again." Her voice was cheery despite talking about her sister being annoying about patrols again. Surely Dovekit would come around to the idea of being separated more as they both got used to being older. Her eyes shifted to Talonpaw next, "Hello, I'm Mushroompaw!"

Her first patrol as a warrior. Not ideal, but she'll make it work. It wasn't like she was alone, anyways. Icedawn padded over to her patrolmates and sat quietly, waiting for any of them to move.

a decent amount of broom, rosemary and marigold, as well as some surprise guests, later, the enforcer led his patrol back towards camp. only now did the possibility of sleepysunrise getting mad wildpaw got to wrong herbs come to mind, previously stuck in his own behaviour and dealing with the new apprentice to even consider it. she wasnt known for being unreasonable, kinder than he would be in regards to patrol punishment as well, but well.. crazy people do crazy things huh.
"got all ya wanted plus some dandelions n that ah.. yellow clover.. wildpaw found. thought ya might want to see if you can figure something out with it" rookfire informed his..friend? after dropping the broom and rosemary by her small paws. had he made up that name? yes he had. it was yellow and kind of looked like clover, close enough. once the medicine cat dismissed them, rookfire would take a seat a tail length next to her in order to wait for any punishment patrols.

After showing Rookfire the plants he had grabbed, he listened closely to the enforcer's description. He looked very closely at the marigold through narrowed eyes to see passed the glare of the light. Yeah, they were pretty different. "Okay! Thanks, Roofire!" Whoa! All these enforcers were so cool and nice.
The little calico bounced along behind Rookfire back to camp, quite happy that he had a whole mouthful of herbs. Even if they weren't all exactly what had been asked for, it sounded like the enforcer already explained it to Sleepysunrise as he placed the plants down and gave the medicine cat a BIIIIIG smile. His first herb patrol was done! How great! Even if his eyes had started to hurt because of the sunlight. Maybe he would go hide in the apprentice den for a little while and hide his face in the moss to avoid light.
