Russetpaw
A patrol? Lifting their head from where they had been keeping to themself, Russetpaw pondered over what that could be. It seemed like they were being called to go with two others to a place called Saltmeadow Marsh. They tried to wrack their brain if they had heard of patrols - perhaps it was something similar to what had been described to them last fall? They weren't too sure and it made them anxious, a tingly feeling sprinting down to their paws. It wasn't like they could back out of it though - they had told the deputy they wanted to be apart of RiverClan, and it was high time they got off their rump and acted like it (no matter how anxious they were)

Padding over with soft, careful steps, Russetpaw looked this way and that. She didn't know anyone, except for the familiar name of Stonepaw. The somali looked around to try and catch the tom, hoping for at least one friendly glance to steady her nerves, but she couldn't spot him. Taking a breath she swung her head around to listen for any of the names she had been paired with. Nightspark and Lilyleaf, Nightspark and Lilyleaf- oh! Twisting around her green eyes landed on a brown-furred she-cat who spoke one of the names. Deducting that this must be Lilyleaf, and the other tom must be Nightspark, Russetpaw made her way over.

Despite the way their throat constricted, Russetpaw did their best to offer a soft smile. "Hello," they greeted, albeit a bit quietly. "My name is Russetpaw. I recently joined, so I apologize if I get anything wrong. But... I look forward to working with you guys." Making her smile wider, the russet-furred she-cat nodded once to the group, trying to ignore the way her chest buzzed and tightened at the same time.

[ @WhiteDawn @~'Atlas-The-Lemon'~ - For context, Russetpaw used to be Indigo who recently joined RiverClan, so they'll likely still have some of their loner scene. They are currently 44 moons old but have a 'paw name until their training is complete! ]
