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."
Hm? Patrols? Ah, and he was on hunting. That was good, he’d been growing more fond of it lately. Perhaps it came with training his apprentices, having to pay attention to every little thing that goes into a hunt. It was just as demanding as a fight, or sneaking about the forest. He would have regarded it as far more menial in his younger moons. Still a task he enjoyed, but he hadn’t been appreciating just how much he could do with it. And of course, he was always happy to visit the Dawning Woods.
The tom made his way over, awaiting his group. Perhaps it was real, or perhaps it was just a manifestation of his anxiousness - but since the most recent enforcer challenge, he couldn’t help but feel ShadowClan’s eyes were fixated on each and every enforcer. Ambition ran through this clan like veins. He’d need to watch himself, even more than usual.
No apprentices today. Just himself, Rockjaw, Sleepysunrise and Quietmouth. Hoepfully, he'd do a decent job hunting, and show Sleepysunrise that he isn't a total loser. He needed to after that jerb patrol. Quietmouth, he recalled, was deaf. He could see the tom now, lingering in the clearing. Perhaps he hadn't read Mistelwhisker's lips - if that was something he did? The enforcer made eye contact with the warrior, and beckoned him over by jerking his head. With patrol groups forming around them, it seemed pretty clear what was going on. The other two, he'd wait for.
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.

➢ 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.
As it is now summer for me, I will be online on and off. If you have any questions about LavenderClan, please contact rubberRatroom, zoamher, or Mr_Possessive. If you contact me, you will be redirected. Any IC inquiries should be directed to Frostpool (Mr_Possessive) and Jayjaw (Nahbois).
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.
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.
rookfire set a brisk pace on the way back, having spent a bit more time during the patrol than he wanted. if sleepy and her short legs had a problem with that, she'd have to speak up. bleedingpaw was big enough to easily keep up so it was 2v1 anyway. once he somehow managed to organise himself and the cattails through the brambles protecting shadowclans camp. stars why were the stalks to darn long. if they got unlucky theyd have cattails growing all over the entrance.
the rest of the way towards the grimpeak was exclusively hindered by cats in camp but nothing one couldnt manage. "ya need me ta' tell ya my patrol mates were lovely n did their work?" rookfire grinned through the herbs in his maw before dropping them in front of sleepysunrises paws.

After much struggle, Sleepysunrise managed to drag het cattails home relatively unharmed. She had to trot to keep up with her brother and Rookfire, speed obstructed by the long things she was struggling to carry (when did Bleedingpaw get so fast?), but she got there, putting them on the ground in favour of a moment to catch her breath and study everything they had all gather. At Rookfire's words, she lifted an eye to look at him, and let her eyes roll around in a quick little movement - it was mostly out of amusing, and a small grin tipped the edge of her maw upwards. "Har, har. Anything less would be abysmal."
She commented. Now, the real challenge was getting everything into the storage.

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.
