The walk from the camp to the border was often a trip itself. The walk from camp to the border with dead weight was a journey. Still, they managed, even though the patrol leader's jaw ached when they reached Sedgewater Valley. He dropped his body on the ground as they stopped at the border, and he took a moment to stretch.

He'd had RiverClan stench stuck in his nose the entire walk, and it only worsened now that they had reached the border. He was going to need a thorough grooming after this. Leechscar wasn't interested in waiting around for a fish patrol to show up. "Let's dump them here and head back." He told Hawkfur and Swiftfire.

Grabbing the dead warrior by the scruff, he gave a mighty heavy and tossed the dead weight over the borderline. The dead RiverClan warrior landed in a heap on the other side. Tossing them seemed better than dragging them over, on the off-chance they were caught, he wasn't giving RiverClan a chance to call them out for breaching the border. He gave his chest fur a few vigorous licks while waiting for the other two to do the same.

Since the moment the sun had peeked above the horizon, Bravebird had been out of camp. She had wanted to do some hunting, and get back into a routine of her laps around the territory. They were smaller now to avoid the mink-heavy spots that Twilightstar had restricted WindClan from - and from the distance she had seen a couple scurryig about but had stayed far away. Now she was just heading towards Sedgewater Valley on the mission of making sure the RiverClan fish were staying on their side of the border.

...So when she caught sight of Leechscar, Hawkfur, and Swiftfire carrying three dead cats with them, her paws sprinted towards the border. Concern rounded her gaze until she realized that none of her Clanmates were hurt and that the three dead were RiverClan. "What happened??" she gasped, eyes following the trajectory of the first body being tossed over to the other side of the border. The lack of injuries suggested no fight had occurred at the border... so what had happened?

The weight of this body was getting heavier by the second. Swiftfire was panting and dragging the body to the border by the time they reached it. She wasn't exactly built for strength; Her long limbs and lean body was meant for speed, and that was her strength. Manual labor dragging a body heavier than a rabbit? Thankfully this wasn't a common practice.

Her ear flicked up as Leechscar spoke, and she flicked her tail to acknowledge his words, gripping her teeth tighter into the freezing scruff shortly before hauling it the last few lengths to the border. She released the body as Bravebird raced up to them, worried and concerned, and Swiftfire was the one to reply.

"These three somehow found themselves thinking they were welcome in our camp. Twilightstar changed their minds." It was a dry, sarcastic explanation, but an explanation nonetheless.

Hawkfur made the walk in silence with his patrol mates, shoulders and back aching from holding the dead weight for so long. Once at the border, Hawkfur made a huff of relief and dropped the body unceremoniously. He was certain he would see a lot more bodies before the ramifications of these morons in front of him were finished. He hoped they were happy, wherever in the sky they were.

He took a moment to catch his breath before throwing the body over the border, but just as the other two were tossing their bodies, a familiar scent washed over him. Hawkfur glanced up in surprise as Bravebird rapidly approached, looking worried and confused. He grimaced, knowing that his friend was going to throw herself at the border the moment she knew what happened. Swiftfire's eloquent description of what happened only made Hawkfur sigh. He picked up his body and tossed it over. "Twilightstar took care of it. We're just her to deposit the bodies." He meowed tiredly, rolling his shoulders to ease some of the tension in them.
Fallenwish's three paws carried her her out of camp. She was still slower then she used to be, but she was getting better fast enough to do more normal stuff. She knew that, over time, she'd get back to almost normal, but that could be a lie. She hadn't had a useless leg before.

She'd try. It would be kind of evil to burden Riverclan meanwhile doing nothing to burden herself. Besides, she'd take on as much as she could to make sure no one overworked themselves. She didn't know how much she could if she believed she'd always be slower, so she'd lie and if it got difficult, she'd just push through with the hope it'd get better.

Mentally, she still wasn't the best, but she could handle a decent amount.
She tried to understand herself and others, which could be difficult, but could also be easier because of who she was.

She approached the Windclan border, confident nothing would happen. Windclan wasn't stupid, Riverclan… wasn't stupid? Whatever, she was sure that she wouldn't smell the scent of death.

She smelled the scent of death as she approached the border. Internally, she either wanted to yell at something or faint comically. Or both. But no, she was a warrior and she needed to handle in a smart way.

She could see the situation unwinding in her mind. One of her patrolmates goes to slap someone, the other one joins in when the Windclanners inevitably defend themselves, Fallenwish is forced to join, someone dies. This thought only increased her panic.

She tried to keep it internal, but she sent a few physical clues at her brain."You two, stay back here. I am your patrol leader and I choose what happens." She remarked before anyone could say "but they killed someone!"

She approached the patrol of Windclanners to confront them after exhaling.
"Care to explain why these are dead?" Her voice was unaggressive. If anything, there was a slight undertone of confusion.
