It was the same greeting The Boulder tended to get. It was his more relaxed one, allowing the cat to know he was pleased to see them. Or at least, so it was in his mind. The Boulder seemed to understand him. Whether Snotzilla did or not was beyond his powers of understanding others, which were already rather limited as it was. Gratefully, the waiting was over before things got awkward, and Sugarbird - yeah that still didn't sound right, but it was close enough, right - was ready to head out. Despite having been born in a nest with his housefolk and family, Sprucejumper was quite fond of the forest. It provided food, shelter, and perhaps not the most comfortable lifestyle, but a life nonetheless. Most importantly, however, it was dry. Unlike Cattail Pond. Which is where they had just arrived. Ew. Place being frozen did little to make it more palatable, and the former housecat couldn't help but wonder what the hell Angry was thinking keeping this place from the river cats. It was easily his least favorite location in the entire territory, but at least he wasn't stuck in camp, he supposed. Staring around the snow filled pond, the tom's ears flattened. Flowers would be... difficult to find. Herb had given them options such as cobwebs... moss... and what was it? Sticks? Yeah. Sticks. Still, he would prefer to try and find some. Erm. Flower. Rod. Thing. Goldenrod! Yeah. That. There, his ability to take note of things came shining through even when he didn't really care. It was just a sign of how giving he was the star worshipers, he supposed. And speaking of the clan cats... "Closely," Sprucejumper mewed, his gaze turning to his apprentice as he spoke, tail attempting to wrap itself in a friendly fashion around her shoulders so she would know his word was not meant in a harsh manner. The chocolate point would welcome his apprentice taking the initiative and looking for herbs alongside him, but he would most definitely prefer it if she didn't stray too far. It was winter. Cats weren't the only hungry things out and about. Not to mention it was hard to get a lay of the land. His eyes were alert now, taking in any discrepancies in the snow that could point to danger, but much as he wanted to see himself as such, he wasn't perfect. He could only keep Snotzilla safe from harm as long as he was close by. As long as she indicated where she wanted to go, he would happily follow along. Alright. Perhaps happily was not the right word to use. Deadpanned. If he must. Bored. Yeah, those were most definitely more up his alley. After all, he was just careful and caring of her because it was his job. Not because he like... cared or whatever. Hmph. Now that this very important distinction was made, he began looking around, keeping a watchful eye on Snotzilla as he placed careful, dark paws on the snow. Emerald hues searching for any hint of yellow amidst the white and dead, brown twigs that burst through. @Beaan [Sweetswan] | @Kix [Sunpaw] |

Herb's mention of cobwebs and sticks was looking more and more appealing by the second, but Sprucejumper wasn't sold on letting go of his original task. If Herb wanted goldenrod, he would get goldenrod, damn it. Still... it would be wise to keep in mind those sticks that seemed to be half covered with snow. They looked sturdy. Useful. He was certain a couple of them wouldn't be the worst thing to bring back if Herb had mentioned them. Moving through the snow, a small mound with a bit of protruding green caught his eye and with dark ears perked up, he took to digging through the white powder as he ignored his toes' complaints. He was meticulous with his digging. The last thing he needed was to rip apart the plants underneath if he had found what he was sent to seek. The more he dug, the further convinced he had found the goldenrod as well, the mound of snow having been misleading as it appeared to be a full, long stem filled with the golden flowers - by now mostly frost damaged with some exceptions - that had fallen over by either wind or the weight of the snow. The chocolate point had no idea which it had been, and frankly he cared little for the answer, taking comfort in the mere fact that he had found some at all. "Hereabouts," he called out as he continued his dig, exposing more and more of the fallen, long stalk. Gingerly, after careful study, Sprucejumper gathered one of the better looking flowers, feeling it might still have some use for the herb cats. Trusting the others to look through his find or perhaps even find some herbs of their own, he went back to the spot nearby where he had found the two sturdy sticks, using his forelegs to grab and move them before adding them uncomfortably to his mouth. Unwilling to risk carrying any more of the goldenrod for fear it would be smooshed between the wood, he turned his attention to Snotzilla and Sugarbird, hoping they had found a good number of herbs to bring back themselves so they could head back soon. His delicate toe beans were not meant for such weather, if it was all the same to the rest of the clan. This is why he would take tree climbing to half frozen ponds any day, no matter the weather.

Beetlepaw had been following closely behind her, doing his own thing. It might've been needed that her apprentice may need some guidance in this, but she had faith he'd get it. She'd watch Nettlepaw just catch a mouse, so surely Beetlepaw was fine. ( Tracking ~ Rolled a 20! ~ Sides: 20 sided ~ Tracking was a complete success! ) Autumnsong would sniff the air again, catching onto the scent of a nearby squirrel that seemingly was foraging for berries on the forest floor. A simple and quick catch. This would likely end up well for her and her fellow Clanmates that had been on the same team in the competition with her. ( Approaching.. ~ Rolled a 13! ~ Sides: 20, again ~ Autumnsong approached the prey, barely managing, but still managing! ) Autumnsong crept on on the squirrel, crouching into position, she apprached it with little to no mistakes, that is until the squirrel moved a bit more to the left! Boo! Stay still, would you? Autumnsong managed to get close enough to the damn thing, but it would've been easier if it'd stayed in one place.. ( Catching! ~ Rolled a 19 ~ Sides: Same old, 20.. ~ She caught the squirrel with ease! I'm on a roll, just like these dice! XD ) Autumnsong would creep forward just a little before lunging at the plump squirrel, catching it off gaurd. She landed on it, making it hit flat on the ground hard. At last, she'd deliver the killing blow by sinking her teeth into its neck and then picking it up. The freshly caught prey dangled in her jaws for a moment as she held it while digging a small hole for the prey, burying it afterwards and covering it with a mound of dirt as to not forget it were there. After, Autumnsong padded back over to her patrolmates with satisfaction. |

Upwind, don't get caught, slow and steady unless prey tries to make a jump for it. [ Rolled a 4 ] Well. At least that's what he believed. Ears angled forwards as he spotted a rather small looking mouse. Taking a crouched step forwards, the apprentice crackled a frozen blade of grass. Alerting the mouse and allowing it to run off. [Rolled a 14] Instantly Beetlepaw ran to catch up with it. Keeping low, he shuffled through the frozen grass, making an effort not to make the same mistake once more. In a quick motion, he swept his paw forwards, launching the mouse to the side, and effectively killing it in a rather un elegant bite. It was minimally mangled. One thing caught, now an attempt at another. The mouse wouldn't help him beat father. Looking around, blue eyes found...yet another mouse. Well. A mouse was a mouse. He'd take anything. [Rolled a 7] Once again, the black and white apprentice slunk forwards, belly brushing the cold, frosted floor. Taking ease in where he put his paws, it would be emberassing if the same thing happened aga-. He snapped a frozen grass blade and the mouse went running. [Rolled a 12] With a hiss he shot towards the mouse. This one was faster by a landslide. Weaving too and fro, almost shaking him off the trail. As it ducked inside a hollowed out tree trunk, Beetlepaw too shot after it. Unceremoniously smashing it's head against the wood. Not the neatest kill. ...now he had to get unstuck from the tree trunk. |

There was no judgement in his expression - there was an actual vacancy of all expression, but internally he wasn't being judgmental either, he supposed - as he assessed the warrior. He merely took note that if this was not Fawnshadow and he knew Snotzilla well enough by now, then the only cat that remained by process of elimination was Boulderspots... Who would now be relegated to the name Spotted, because there was only room for one Boulder in his life, and it was The Boulder, no questions asked. "Sprucejumper," he responded in a deadpanned voice, blinking once as another voice soon joined... followed by yet another. It had appeared that the entire patrol was there, with Fawnshadow announcing her arrival by stating her name - a fact the usually listless tom appreciated, even if it made his own introduction pointless - and after a quick nod of greeting to the warrior and a blink and attempted patting above his apprentice's head with his paw - as The Boulder had been fond of doing for him... he figured that if he liked it Sunpaw might too... and if not, well, he'd make a note of it and move on - the chocolate point twitched his tail and made his way through the territory and off to Cattail Pond. Of all the regions in ThunderClan's territory, Cattail Pond was his actual, least favorite of all. He didn't hate it, but it was tree scarce, and far wetter than any other part of the star worshipers' domain. Which meant that hunting was nowhere nearly as fun as he'd like. Although... now that he thought about it, this was the same place he had failed in finding herbs last time, wasn't it? Perhaps he should try and find some this time around... as an apology. Some herbs and some prey would probably be a good thing to bring back after that abysmal performance last time. The pond would not remain undefeated! He would have his vengeance yet! A quick scan of the area quickly dismissed the notion of finding any herbs, however... He honestly didn't know enough about them to satiate Puppy and Herb Cat the Second. For all he knew, he would be wasting time finding weeds or some poisonous plant instead of something useful for the clan, and instead he opted to focus entirely on hunting. That was his forte, anyways. No use risking angering the leader and the herb cats in one fell swoop when he could be providing for the clan instead. "Hunting," Sprucejumper finally stated, looking at his patrolmates before having his gaze settle on his apprentice. This was not a command to the others on what they were to do. If they were better at finding herbs or things that they felt could be useful outside of prey, he welcomed them to find it. The leader had merely stated to find anything of use, not specifically prey. But he preferred to let them know what he was doing, especially his apprentice. The former housecat preferred having her close, just in case. He trusted her - surprisingly... he wasn't sure when that had happened - and knew she wouldn't run off or try to get herself killed, but at this point he figured that he could give her the option to join him or try and find something to hunt on her own. As for the others... he would rather if they didn't all join him for the hunt - that was too many cats for effective hunting on such a barren landscape - but he wouldn't deny them if they stuck around either. It was cold, and more eyes meant less chances to run into predators, he supposed. @Purely_K2 [Boulderspots] | @giscoolest [Fawnshadow] | @Kix [Sunpaw] |

Had these two been apprentices, he probably would have declined, but two warriors together were as safe as could be within their own territory. After all, a warrior was allowed - finally - to leave the camp alone due to it being accepted that they could handle themselves. This was the smartest course of action, and as such, he nodded. With winter slowly making way to spring, it seemed there were birds beginning to make the best of the still rather frozen terrain, no doubt digging out the first greenery and wriggling worms they had seen in proper for months. Keen eyes had spotted the flock of birds that had no doubt caught the other tom's attention, and he was grateful to see that it was some distance away from the one he now saw. His tail had twitched as he had headed onwards, letting his apprentice know once more that she was free to come along, but now that he could see the flock in earnest, he hoped she had made her way with him for certain. It would make this hunt twice as successful if so. He'd walked some distance since leaving the warrior pair to their own hunt, making it clear that his hunting these birds should have no effect on the others' hunt. This was a necessary precaution to take, as if he accidentally got no prey from this attempt, he could not jeopardize another's hard work either. It wouldn't just be his life on the line, if Angry's eternal rage had taught him anything in his young life... although his would most certainly be forfeited for such a blunder. A shudder running down his spine at the thought, Sprucejumper shook himself lightly before turning emerald eyes upon the prize. Chickadees. At least five from a glance. Blank gaze soon narrowed in concentration, tail swaying lightly behind him as the chocolate point instantly settled into a crouch. He was good at hunting, but he was still one cat. He could easily get one... two if he timed it right... Three if he somehow got lucky. Being a realist, he decided to strive for the one who had another closest, aware that if he leaped just right, he would be able to bring the one that flew off down in an instant as well. Despite his usual look of boredom and how inactive he seemed, the former housecat had been named Jumper for a reason. Both his ability to almost take flight among the branches of a tree in pursuit of prey and his ability to take to the air and grasp at an escaping bird in a single bound. Fighting might never be his forte, but here... here he was home. He signaled with his tail for Snotzilla to stand still for a moment - assuming she had followed - as he scoped the flock, finding his mark soon enough. Despite himself, his whiskers twitched, the barest hint of a smile crossing his maw in satisfaction. Chancing only the slightest of side glances to the bright furred paw, he would nod - should he find her there - before moving forward, sneaky as his paws moved noiselessly. Keeping to the cover the undergrowth allowed as he got just close enough to pounce. His shoulders rolled beneath his dark pelt before the singular word left him, his long limbs stretching forward not a breath after. "Now." Fixated on his prey, claws unsheathed, Sprucejumper sprang from his cover, landing expertly on a single chickadee, its life gone before it could utter a warning call. But chickadees feasted together for a reason, and no matter where one attacked from, multiple eyes would be on the predator no sooner had it made its presence known. The shrill warning call rang around the group, and the round birds took to the air, but not before the tom's legs took them there as well, claws outstretched and meeting feathers with ease as he satisfyingly got the second of the birds in one fell swoop. @Purely_K2 [Boulderspots] | @giscoolest [Fawnshadow] | @Kix [Sunpaw] | Small bump to keep the patrol moving! :heartbounce: | |

“So here’s what I was thinking,” he spoke quietly as to not startle the birds they were rapidly approaching. “We have two options: Option 1, we both jump into the flock at the same time to have higher chances of catching more prey. Or, option 2, one of us sneaks to the other side of the flock, THEN we run in. Which do you think would work better?” He hadn’t hunted with Fawnshadow before, so he didn’t know what they hunted like. @Alchemist Kitsune @giscoolest @Kix |

She slunk down to the floor, waiting to see if Boulderspots would give a command. [ OOC - so so so sorry about my late reply, motivation just died ;-; ] |

That did not stop her from performing well during the hunt, however, and she was soon carrying two birds, same as he. Hers were crows, however. More impressive, a fact she seemed to be aware of considering the brimming pride in her eyes and posture. Sprucejumper inspected them before nodding, lifting his paw again - both chickadees on the ground still - in an attempt to pat his apprentice on the head in congratulations. "Remarkable," the tom praised as he patted down upon Snotzilla's head, his usual, bored drawl hiding a hint of pride itself. About to pick his own two chickadees up from the ground, emerald hues narrowed lightly as he spotted a bit of yellow poking through the well dug out snow. Interest grabbing him, Sprucejumper walked towards the area, tilting his head as he cautiously excavated the flowers out from under the snow, his pointed ears perked up, mildly recognizing the herb. He was certain he had seen these before, potentially having picked them for the previous herb cat once. He couldn't remember the name of the herb to save his life, but if the previous herb cat had used them, then it was possible Puppy and Herb Cat used them as well. It wasn't much, but two birds and two flowers seemed like a win to him, especially considering how few of the latter there seemed to be... Delicately picking the only two flowers that seemed to be of any use - although... what did he know, as far as he was concerned, this wasn't even a useful plant and he was misremembering - and joining them to his two birds, he sniffed, twitching his tail for Snotzilla to follow. She had her mouth quite full with the two crows, but he doubted anyone would complain. She could prance happily into camp today and show off her catch. It had been well earned. Silently, he headed back towards the place where they had separated from the two warriors, hoping they were done as well so they wouldn't keep Angry waiting more than her waning patience would permit.

Re: Cattail Pond
"Agreed," Boulderspots nodded at Fawnshadow, then looked over at the flock of ducks. "I'll go around, you stay here. I'll signal when to go in with my tail.
Giving the flock a wide berth, he crept around, his belly fur barely grazing the grass underneath. He spotted a bush on the other side of the flock before, so he had decided to go to it. When he was behind the bush, he inspected the flock. Seeing two ducks, one larger and the other smaller, in close proximity, he decided to go for them. It seemed more likely to get one of them at least. So, he lifted his tail and after a split second, bolted in toward the pair of waterfowl. (d20 rolled 20!!!) They barely noticed him before he arrived. Pouncing on the larger of the two, he clamped down on its neck and, seeing how little the other had moved, decided to get greedy and try for a second, (d20 rolled 14) and though he did graze it, he didn't successfully get it. Rather, it flew away and he focused his attention on the goose he already had. It was still squirming, but the aggression in its movements had decreased to feeble movements, and he was easily able to snap its neck. He stood up in the cloud of feathers, holding the duck in his jaws. He was proud of his catch. [+1 Northern Shoveler] @giscoolest @Alchemist |

Re: Cattail Pond
Fawnshadow followed the tom's instructions, staying put. A few geese flew her way, so she lashed out, managing to just barely snatch one.
