Copperfire walked up to the base of the Thunderwillow, anger thrumming under his pelt. He took a moment to calm himself before calling out the same cats he'd appointed for patrol, it wouldn't do well to start mindlessly yelling, no matter how deserved he thinks it would be. "Berryspot, Stagbound, Thunderblaze, Russetflare, Flamepaw, Stormwind, Dawnpaw, and Acornpaw! I want all of you here, now! Why did none of you report back? Where is your sense of responsibility? Our clan has been under attack by rogues, and leaf-bare is coming!" The deputy roared. Then he spoke in a calmer, yet still serious voice. "You all will be punished, however, if anyone here has a good reason for not reporting or going on patrol, I'd be willing to hear them out. If not, don't waste my time more than you already have."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

First up - the RiverClan border patrol. Breezewind and Spiderspark seemed to be missing, which left only Berryspot. Oh well, solo patrols were still better than nothing. "Berryspot, go check the border at the Smallpines. I'm not going to drag anyone else into your punishment, even if it means you have to go alone."

"Stagbound, Thunderblaze, the ShadowClan border won't mark itself. Get on that!" There was no way they could be lenient with the ShadowClan border, who knew what Dawnstar would do if she found out their borders were so weakly marked.

Now onto the hunting patrols... Maybe he'd made a mistake by sending so many apprentices on the hunting patrols, had the warriors been overwhelmed? Still, that was no excuse for not reporting. "Russetflare and Flamepaw, go back to the Muskrat Mire and both of you report back with your catches." Copperfire twisted his ears, hazel eyes staring down the warrior. It would probably do well to address him more directly as he was given more responsibility than other patrol leaders. "Russetflare, if this is how you deal with patrols when apprentices are assigned as well, then I don't know how you expect to train your own."

Finally, the last of the patrols. "Stormwind, Dawnpaw, and Acornpaw. Go back to the Firefly Cove, all of you have to report back with what you catch. Stormwind, I expect you to be more attentive to your duties, especially when our future warriors are under your leadership." Once more the deputy turns his frustrated glare to a patrol leader. He expected them to be more responsible, what example were they showing to the apprentices?

Copperfire looked to Sparrowstar, who had hopefully followed him. He hoped he'd done this correctly, however, if she wanted to override anything or add on a punishment, he wouldn't complain. She was the leader here after all.
