He can't even stick to one topic... Whatever, a lesson is a lesson even if it's from... him. She keeps saying that, hpw long until she actually believes it? Calmly, Wrenpaw stalks over to the water's edge and dips her paw into it. It's warm, but not unpleasantly so.
"I thought we were going to do some fishing, not swimming," she says mildly as she slides into the warm water, paws churning to keep herself afloat even as she knows the depth is not so much that she could drown. "I know how to swim just fine," she protests even as she briefly looses ground and struggles again to keep her head above the water level, teeth gritting in concentration and embarrassment. It was one slip up. "I'll even swim a lap and show you!" She insists, and begins doing just that, cutting through the middle of the spring and to the other side then back again.
"See?" She asks challengingly coming back to Waterworm's side again. "Easy."
"Oh, woah! Not bad, not bad!" Waterworm cheers as the apprentice does a lap around the springs. Not bad!! She's pretty good!! "Nice, nice!! You get lessons already, yeah, yeah? Good on you!! Good, good, good. Now! Fishin'! C'mon, c'mon let's get goin to the territory and do some fishin!!" Waterworm springs out of the water and shakes himself dry, stretching in the warm sunlight. "Let's go, let's go!!"

Riverwhisper blinked. "I think we got enough prey," he said. "Let's head back to camp." he didn't know what to do or say, so he beckoned for the toms to follow and turned back.

The next to arrive was Orchidpaw! Ah, she doesn't..look too happy about it. Er...maybe they were quite lucky they found patrols fun after all. Well if the patrol gets lucky it shouldn't take too long. And then Troutstone arrived. Phew, that means they're all here now! That's good! Now the patrol could finally set off. "Right" The said, nodding to Troutstone's words. They started moving their paws again, following next to their mentor. Would they be able to catch any birds like last time? Or maybe something else
It wasn't really that long until the patrol crosses over the bridge. The apprentice should most likely split up so the patrol gets more range. They weren't sure about Orchidpaw, but that's up to her... And..maybe also Troutstone
About time the leader of their patrol arrived. Orchidpaw was cross. Why did she have to go on patrol with these randos?! Keeping her distance, she followed the two out of camp. Now, as much as she'd hate to admit it, and she wouldn't, she was a very unsuitable option for this patrol since she hadn't been taught how to hunt. But she wouldn't look like an idiot and ask one of them for a hunting lesson right? No way!
As soon as they arrived, Orchid stomped of on her own, deciding she would teach herself how to hunt. How hard could it be? Padded warily over the run down bridge, the charcoal tabby point was alerted of a bird a few fox-lengths away. Bingo. Disappearing into the shadows, she stalked closer to the bird, being careful not to make sound. Exploding from her invisible cloak, the apprentice leapt at the bird which started to take off in a flurry of feathers. It wasn't fast enough though and her claws caught it's tail feathers. The downed bird started it's attempted to fly away again and Orchidpaw furiously tried to capture it.
Coming now closer to camp but taking a detour to stop at the springs on the way back, Dusklion wasted no time in dunking her injured paw in the water. Immediate relief had the deputy purring, the warm water feeling good against her injury. A happy smile spread across her face as she soaked in the peaceful feeling.
A bird chirping nearby had her opening her eyes she hadn't realized she closed. Pulling her paw out of the water she took it off and padded closer to the tree. The bird was perched on a branch and peering down at her. It gave a little tweet to which Dusklion smirked and gave a hiss back, rearing up and slamming her claws against the trunk. Startled the bird flew off quickly, leaving Dusk to push back against the tree and land back on the ground laughing.
Everything seemed under control here. The small deputy gave a satisfied huff before turning around and trotting back towards the territory to head for camp once more.
