Lightningbugfire was dozing off in the clearing when he heard his name called by the familiar voice of Flintspirit. Green eyes opening wide, he sat up and turned so he could listen to his assignment. He grew slightly nervous as it was said. He’d never been on a hunting patrol with older warriors since he had become a warrior himself. So of course he was a little nervous. Getting to his paws, he quickly made his way over to Flintspirit and Tanglefoot, smiling fondly at Minkpaw as she blinked up at her mentor. He wasn't kuch older than her, he knew that, but he couldn’t imagine having the deputy as he mentor. That was some big pawsteps to follow in. He stood with the group and turned his green eyes to Flintspirit, waiting for further instructions.

The dark-furred tom’s green eyes caught sight of Spiritfox and Talonfeather heading out to the clearing, and he nodded to himself. He knew those two would do a nice quick job at the Riverclan border, with Spiritfox needing more rest than usual in his old age, and, if he was correct, Talonfeather’s mate had borne kits recently. He only hoped Spiritfox wouldn’t get upset that he assigned Talonfeather to lead the patrol. Flintspirit believed younger cats needed a chance at authority as well. As his patrol quickly gathered around him, Flintspirit assumed that the Shadowclan border patrol should be off soon. His patrol needed to get hunting. He gave Minkpaw a bright smile at her meek inquiry. He’d felt awful for not having the right mindset to remember her training recently, so taking her on a real hunting patrol would do her some good. “Yep! Hunting training. I think there’s been enough battle recently, so we don’t need to do that right now.” He knew younger cats always were excited for battle training.
With a firm nod to Tanglefoot and Lightningbugfire, Flintspirit waved his tail for the patrol to follow him into the territory.
