Hearing Fogcloud's acceptance of the challenge for their place amongst the shields, Reedwhisker gave a dip of her head as a sign of respect and waited for Pikestar to emerge from his den after the shield called for their leader. She dipped her head once more, acknowledging the dark-furred tom's presence as soon as he spoke. This challenge would be the first and hopefully, live up to the expectations of both leader and the challenged. And hopefully Fogcloud doesn't have any hard feelings.
"I want the challenge to take place at Lionsbeach. If it is alright with you, Pikestar, I want the challenge to be held strictly in the water so that our skills as RiverClanners are put to good use. Just to our bellies though so you can see what goes on." she looked at Fogcloud then toward Pikestar to see if this would be an acceptable factor in the fight for the Shield rank. It seemed like fighting in the water would be a good reminder to the Clan that without it, they were just like ThunderClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan. "I feel like it'd be a good reminder to the whole of RiverClan what we stand for."

They hummed lightly at the suggestion of doing it in the water, it would add to the challenge, "I would be more than okay with that." she was waiting on what Pikestar would say but the shield didn't mind having to do it in the water a little bit. She rather enjoyed the water and they were hoping it would be cold. The cold always pumped them up more compared to warmer weather.

The oriental felt filled with relief when they managed to step into camp, their journey forward going off without a hitch.
Coming to a complete halt when Beansprout did, Wormbite turned his head in his direction with a worrying glint. Not quite understanding why they had stopped, they needed to get to Stonepaw. Was something wrong? (No, that did not make sense. )
His answer was soon given when Beansprout called out for his daughter and being so close by, the tom winced away, staggering. He couldn't bring it to himself to correct him on her name, no, that was better suit for Fawnlight. She should give the news. So, despite his need to get his friend to Stonepaw as soon as possible, he did not make a move. He stood by, letting Beansprout lean against him and waited.
It wasn't long until the molly came rushing forward and pulling her father into a deep hug, and Wormbite stepped away, letting the two have their moment with a fond .. ahem, smile on his face. It wasn't small, perhaps there was the instinct to hide it away but, stars above it were nice to see them both happy. They both deserved it after all, happiness, you know?
Having the weight of Beansprout off of him and finally realizing he himself was home, pain rushed through his own body and his left frontleg gave out from underneath him. His right frontleg caught him he pushed himself into a sitting position before he had made too much of a scene, playing it off with ease. (He still shot an intense glare to his own leg, feeling the pain throb. Ah, yes. He would pay for going pass his limits. )
A slight tremor wavered through his thin body, and he hung his head, taking a shuddering breath while he steadied himself.
Wormbite soon returned to the world of the living, now... aware of how... awkward it felt.. to be witnessing this uh, private reunion. He shoved himself back up, but notably was keeping his left paw off the floor. "I.. will bring Stonepaw here.. yes? Yes.. that sounds.. good, mhm, " This was mainly for himself, he took a step back. And another. Slowly attempting to scurry over to the medicine cat's den but there was still the awkwardness of just upright... leaving? (..Maybe.. maybe he didn't want to leave. He's had them both disappear in what felt like a short time, he didn't.. want to risk turning away only to be met with nothing..)
Streamflake walked up to Rainshine. "I'd like to apologize for my misconception earlier, would you go for a hunt with me?" She asked, her look showing how upset and embarrassed she was with herself. "I'd like to make it up to you." She smiled awkwardly
"Oh, hi, Streamflake! Yes, we can go hunting! Where did you have in mind?" Rainshine tilted her head, blinking in happiness at the idea of hunting with Streamflake.

"i thought maybe nearby the Lionsbeach, If we cant catch anything maybe we could just walk around." She purred
Wormbite padded out of the warrior's den, lifting his head to the direction of the sun, feeling the warmth against his pelt. After receiving Pikestar's approval, it was time to begin putting his ideas into action. He had decided to start with sending out the patrols he had planned to, then, they could move on to reinforcing the walls. Stretching his long limbs, Wormbite walked towards the middle of the clearing. He already had in mind on who to pick. With the day still far ahead, no time like the present.
## @effervescent. (unsure whether to refer to silver as silversnow or silverpaw so i went with silverpaw! lmk if i need to change it!) @vellichor @Katieuwu @moonlit.x ## "Beansprout! Silverpaw! Deerthroat! Raccoonpelt! I want you four to take the journey to Lionsbeach and ensure there is no outsider activity. The place is further away from Riverclan and tends to gain the least supervision. I do not want any surprises lurking there. Check thoroughly and remark the permitter. After, one of you report to me anything you have found. "
## @Wingnettle @pathos @WhiteDawn @ophelia ## "Cloverdust! Mintpaw! Nightspark! Beastflame! I want you four to patrol along the perimeter of Rugged Range. You do not need to stick to the border, as I want to know if there is any outsiders staying near our border, but do not stray too far in. While it was once ours, the land is now unpredictable. Check thoroughtly and ensure anyone near knows who we are. After, one of you report to me anything you have found. "

From his spot in the warrior’s den, Wormbite’s yowl reached Beastflame’s tufted ears easily. A patrol? Interesting. He rolled to his feet, massive frame filling the entrance to the den as he slipped out after the shield leader silently.
The warrior sat close by, awaiting the rest of his group. He was relieved to hear Cloverdust’s name with his on the list. At least one other sane cat would be present. He remembered Mintpaw from a recent…adventure, and she seemed acceptable. She had battle experience at least, if it came to the worst case scenario. The last cat he was entirely unfamiliar with, which automatically made him on edge. They were going on a rather long trek, and he was seriously hoping to not be stuck with any annoying companions…And they should certainly hope to not be stuck with an annoyed Beastflame.
The chance to explore the Rugged Range intrigued Beastflame, as it was territory he had never ventured into before. And, of course, the chance to scare off any prowling outsiders. A part of him was itching for a good brawl, but he was reasonable enough not to go looking for one.
Nightspark stood up and stretched, a patrol to the Rugged Range? Ok... He walked near the entrance of the camp and sat down, waiting for the others, while he waited he unsheated his claws and sharpened them on a rock while praying Starclan to protect them, the white spotted black tom's gaze was nearly scanning each cat of his patrol, he didn't knew them, however he knew what they were looking like and waited for them to come, a few seconds later, he saw Beastflame waiting, deciding that it was better to join the patrol leader, he moved slowly silently, like always, an stood behind the patrol leader, waiting...

Cloverdust had just been thinking about what to get up to on this fine afternoon when the voice of Wormbite caught her attention. So, then, today was the day she went on a patrol! She rose from her place outside the warriors' den, smoothed out the lines she had etched into the snow with her paw, and trotted behind Beastflame's hulking figure. How fortunate it was that the two of them had been assigned to the same patrol! She couldn't help a happy little hum from escaping her as she settled besides him. Spotting Nightspark nearby, Cloverdust sat up a little taller and raised her chin in an effort to look more grand.
She couldn't say she was well-acquainted with either Mintpaw or Nightspark, but she'd heard their names thrown around before and at least had an inkling of who they were. Well! She was sure the patrol would go swimmingly, especially with Beastflame here.
"Rugged Range? That's unfamiliar territory to me," she mused. She knew the name, of course, but it was far enough away to where she'd never been tempted to explore it. The name didn't seem too welcoming, either. Cloverdust didn't have any worries, though—if anything, all she was thinking about was if there would be any good trinkets there.

Mintpaw was already out in the clearing, observing the Leading Shield coming out of Pikestar's den after what seemed an eternal amount of time. Something told her that it was important - that something was about to happen, just now.
Firstly, a patrol to Lionsbeach. According to Wormbite, there might still be outsiders' activity in their territory. Does that really worry Pikestar? After all, it was him who had decided to adopt rogues and loners without many previous examinations... Maybe she had started to think that the leader was too peaceful and kind to deny any cat a home. But this proved her wrong, since their mission was now to ensure their territory stayed clear of them.
At the sound of her name, she quickly got to her paws and trotted to three cats that Wormbite had assigned to the second patrol. If I join it too, it must mean they trust me enough for such an important mission... It was incredible how fast time passed. She still remembered vividly her days as a kit, and now she was an apprentice, almost a warrior, joining special patrols under Wormbite and Pikestar's approval.
As Mintpaw reached her group she dipped her head respectfully to the three warriors in font of her. She remembered Beastflame from his aid after the minks' attack, but the other two were less than acquaintances for her. "I'm ready." She'd already had a small meal not too much ago, and she needed nothing more now. I just wonder...
Where was Slatestripe? She wanted him to know she was leaving.
