Acornfall’s eyes shot open. Today was it! He was going to take Chasmpaw and Slypsw out for a tour of the territory. With the buddy system still in place, he knew exactly who he wanted to ask to come with them. Leaping to his paws, he touched his nose to Nightwhisper’s head. Then he flicked the shoulders of Briarmask and Snowstorm. “Hey guys!” He mewed with a whispered purr. “I gotta take Chasmpaw and Slypaw on a tour of the territory. Wanna come with?” he asked, eyes bright and hopeful.

Nightwhisper lifted his head, giving a gentle purr as Acornfall touched his head, he'd come to think of the Tom as a best friend, maybe even a brother. "Hunting hm? I'm in, just don't let Emberkit get to jealous." Nightwhisper teased, imagining how his son would leap up and beg for "Uncle Acorn" to take him on patrol. Nightwhisper yawned, sitting up and gently leaning his shoulder against Acornfall's side to let him know he was up. Nightwhisper gave a small sigh, he'd missed his daughter Cinderkit, and his mate Weepingwillow, both with the sick cats. Although he was proud of his mate for being Thunderclan's forever queen, he just wished she was..... there. Nightwhisper's memories of Skykit were vivid his daughter whom had passed first from the sickness.
The jet black Tom yawned, his singular ginger ear flicking as he looked at Snowstorm and Briarmask, both Thunderclan warriors the introverted Tom hadn't spoken to. "You've got two apprentices, I'll watch and help Slypaw if your willing to take the help." Nightwhisper offered, uncurling from his nest, revealing his long tail and lean, muscular and fluffy looking build.

Briarmask jolts awake, but her eyes don't open at first, so she kinda just... whips her head around. That doesn't get her anywhere, for she can't see who or what in starclan woke her up! So she quickly opens her eyes, an embarrassed flush rusing to her cheeks as she realizes just how bird-brained she must've looked.
"Wh-wha...?" She murmers sleepily, squinting up at Acornfall, "O-oh, a territory tour? U-uh, sure..."
She blinks though as she realizes that he also asked other cats to join him on the tour. Oh goodness, what has she gotten herself into? Ah! Why did he ask her anyway? She flicks her ear worriedly, she's already feeling anxious just thinking about it. The silky calico looks around at the cats her pale blue eyes timidly studying them, she almost considers running away, but that would probably be considered rude.

Snowstorm yawned, as she stood up and stretched. Her ears flicked back at the words "Tour the territory." she turned her icy blue eyes on Acornfall and nodded. The pretty slim white she-cat with gray stripes and pointed ears walked over to the warriors den entrance and exited it.
She turned and faced Acornfall "Sure, I'll come." Her gaze shifted to the other warriors she never spoke too. She always stood close to her sister, Chestnutdust.
Acornfall beamed as one by one, his clanmates awoke and agreed to come. He was grateful to Snowstorm for accepting, they didn’t really talk that much so it was a little random for him to call on her specifically. But she didn’t turn him down so that was great! He was especially happy for Nightwhisper and Briarmask coming along. Nightwhisper was like a brother to him, and he shared his denmate’s grief over the loss of Skykit. When Nightwhisper leaned against him, he gave the tom a lick on his ear to show his appreciation and support. Getting out might be good for him too, take his mind off things. He grinned at the mention of Emberkit. “Little scamp! I’ll stop by the nursery later and show him some stalking techniques.” He promised with a purr.
Turning to the rest of his patrol, he figured tossing in some hunting while they were out, and checking the borders, wasn’t a bad idea too. With a group like this, it would be a good experience for the apprentices too. And they’d definitely be safe. “Right then!” He meowed with a nod, glancing at Briarmask with a purr in his voice. “I’ll go get those apprentices of mine and meet you all by the entrance!” With that he carefully left the warrior’s den and bounded towards the apprentice’s den. Sticking his head in, he took a deep breath to prepare his voice. “Chasmpaw! Slypaw! Front and center!” He yowled into the den, taking a step back to allow the apprentices space to stumble out. He was already wearing a grin, wondering if he had startled them from their sleep or not.

Nightwhisper gave a small purr at the lick, apprciating the kind gestures. "I'm sure he'll love that idea." Nightwhisper purred, he knew it was a bit selfish, but he loved talking about his kits, boasting about new things they'd learned, new achievements. It just made him feel...... good. Nightwhisper stood, stretching his long limbs, following after Acornfall. "Briarmask huh?" Nightwhisper mewed next to the Tom, raising an eyebrow with a small amused gleam in his eyes

Acornfall ducked his head shyly at Nightwhisper's tease, nudging him gently with his broad shoulder. "She's just a friend." He insisted, though couldn't help glancing back at the she-cat. He hadn't interacted with her too many times, but she seemed thoughtful and attentive. And no cat had ever showed Acornfall the kind of caring that she had in that brief interaction. But he immediately changed his focus when Chasmpaw came out of the den and began to follow the group. The brown tabby looked over his shoulder to ensure Briarmask and Snowstorm were following, then realized Slypaw was not with them.
He paused at the camp entrance, whiskers twitching. "Chasmpaw, where's Slypaw?" He asked, flicking Chasmpaw's shoulder with his tail to ensure he got her attention.

Briarmask
༊*·˚
Briarmask has been caught. Her eyes widen as her gaze meets Acornfall's, her eyes quickly darting away & her cheeks growing a bit warmer than the usual in this cold weather. But despite her flustered attitude, she can't help but hold a small spark of a smile. He called her a friend. That's why she initially looked his way, because she heard him say that, it makes her feel all... tingly? Or... fluttery inside? Oh words are hard... all she knows is that her mouth is a 'U' shape once again and it's only spreading to the rest of her face. Like a plague. But either way, she has a friend now! This is a day in history to be celebrated and cherished, the day she received her very first friend. The pretty calico molly practically glows at the thought, her earlier worries disregarded at the revelation. Maybe this won't be as bad as she would have thought.
Chasmpaw had not realized that Slypaw was not with the group until Acornfall mentioned it. She turned around to face Acornfall and meowed, "The last time I saw Slypaw was...at sunrise today. He was in the Apprentices' Den." The young cat sighed heavily and continued, "Should we go look for him, Acornfall?"
