Re: Thunderglade
Swiftfire ------------------- Great! Her patrol, as hastily and unexpected as it was, was gathered, and since it was more of a voluntary patrol, she didn't feel the pressure or rush that regular patrols had. So once away from camp, Swiftfire allowed her pace to slow into a leisurely stroll, actually taking the time to soak in the sun and breeze and all the signs of newleaf. She hadn't completely missed Bravebird's remarks about Sedgewater Valley, and so Swiftfire had that on her mind as she walked. Sure, they could go to the RiverClan border, show them that WindClan was strong in numbers, watching them for another transgression. But they had already been given a pretty firm warning; They were not about to let RiverClan get away with anymore. So why antagonize them? Better yet, why show their enemies the preparations they were making? Better to play the silent game for now, and keep their non-border patrol activity to a minimum if they had the option to. At least that was her reasoning. She wasn't sure if the others would think similarly, so Swiftfire turned her head, glancing over her shoulder at Bravebird, "I figured if we gathered all the way over here, we'd be less likely to have some fish poking its nose out of its pond to see what we're doing. Squirrels? Who cares. They've been keeping their nuts to themselves, so we don't have any reason to poke at them, nor they us." She tried chuckling to make it sound lighthearted. "Plus we have more options here. Sticks, moss, cobwebs, uh....marigold and dandelion? I'm pretty sure Lightningstorm likes her yellow flowers." Another try at a joke, but it wasn't her worst attempt either. Though this time her words were for the whole patrol, and as they reached the Thunderglade, Swiftfire sighed, "Herbs first, but I won't say no to a couple pieces of prey to bring home either." The glade was filled with songbird activity and warm earthy prey scents, and her jaws watered at the idea of catching a mouse or two for breakfast. Shaking herself out, Swiftfire gave her patrol a friendly wave of her tail before long legs carried her off towards the roots of one of the trees, searching for sticks, moss, whatever she could carry in quantity. @MangofDoom @Mica @taillow [I am setting this patrol's end date to May 1st, 2024! There's no rush to get it done, so don't stress ^^] |

Bravebird - WindClan Warrior She/her | 45 moons | Beefed Up T3, One with the Warren ...Well Dustypaw didn't seem to be all that chatty. That was alright. Bravebird gave a small sigh as she collected her herbs. "Let's head on back then. If you spot anything on the way back feel free to grab it - anything green-y or plant...y." Yeah, this was why she was a warrior and not a medicine cat. |

They swallow and smile. They’re glad they won’t have to worry about any fish today, and can just look for herbs in peace. Thunderclanners are less likely to hurt them, right? ”Sticks, moss, cobwebs, and marigold,” Poppysong repeats as they poke their nose around to begin looking. They likely won’t be able to carry enough sticks for it to be worth searching for them, so they focus on looking for moss and cobwebs. Poppysong spots a rock and tilts their head, flipping it over to find some moss! They smile and gently begin to remove the patches from the stone, trying to keep the patch in one piece so it’s easier to carry. [+3 moss] Poppysong glances over their shoulder, mouth full of moss, at the others, then to see if there are any other bits of moss around. |

Re: Thunderglade
BRAVEBIRD she/her | windclan fury | 45 moons | active purrks At Swiftfire's comment, Bravebird couldn't help but snort and roll her eyes, though there was a grin tugging at her maw. "I wouldn't be opposed to the fish poking - could poke them right back." Probably not the best idea considering by "poke" she meant "kill" but... Trotting after the rest of the patrol, the warrior watched as Swiftfire and Poppysong both broke off, with Hawkfur going another way. After a moment of thought she trailed along after Hawk, sniffing and poking at the foliage along the way. |
Re: Thunderglade
Swiftfire --------------- She was searching for a short time when she came across a patch of yellow and gold flowers growing in a sunny patch at the edge of the glade, and she was satisfied to recognize them as marigold. She set to collecting as many flowers as she could, snapping the stems with her teeth and setting them aside. With her marigold gathered at her paws, Swiftfire looked around to see if she could find something else to bring back. And then she began looking at something moving in the grass. Something with feathers. With a delighted shiver, Swiftfire immediately dropped into a hunter's crouch, moving in silence, paw step by pawstep. As she got closer, she could see it was a fat pigeon, busy trying to crack open a snail it had found. The bird didn't stand a chance. The moment she was within half a fox-length, she darted forward, landing with a paw on the bird's back and pinning it to the ground as she snapped its neck with her jaws. It shuddered once and went limp. It hadn't even realized it was dead; The snail was still locked in its beak. "Looks like you live another day," Swiftfire chuckled as she flicked the snail away with a paw. Picking up the pigeon in her jaws, she carried it back to where she had left her marigold. Truth be told, she'd much rather carry her prey than bitter tasting herbs...but she needed to be seen with the herbs too. Gotta love punishments like that. So with some grief, she set her prey down and called out to Poppysong. "Hey, think you could carry this back for me? I'll haul your moss." She hated asking. A warrior should carry their own prey, in her opinion. Catch and carry, not catch and pass it on to someone else. That and she deeply resented the notion of anyone being praised for her success. Not that she wouldn't be swift to correct any such misguidance. [+4 marigold; +1 Pigeon] @Mica [Hawkfur] @taillow [Bravebird] @MangofDoom [Poppysong] |

A lot are poisonous…” Poppysong looks over at Swiftfire and tilts their head. “Oh- yeah, sure!” Poppysong limps over and puts down their moss next to their marigold and grabs the pigeon. It’s still warm, and it makes the warrior realize they should eat soon. |
