The apprentice head a little bit away from the group she made sure to to keep close as she didn't want to break any of Dawnstars rules. She didn't know what many of the plants smelt like so she opted to carefully pushing plants out of her way. She came across what she thought was...Burdock? Yeah lets call it Burdock. She bent down carefully digging out a section of the roots to bring back to the group she grabbed a pair of nicely thick roots before putting the rest in the ground.
Next was sniffing out some catmint she regonized it by its sharp scent and grabbed 1 piece of it.

The brown and white tom padded easily out of camp with his patrol. He didn't have any particular destination in mind when he started out, though his mind worked through the territory as he walked, trying to work out the best spot for him to head towards. He could continue in one direction as he was doing and he'd inevitably end on a spot that had a decent opportunity to catch prey but he wasn't sure he wanted to leave anything to chance during his first lead. Nonetheless, before he figured on a location to head towards, his nose caught the mingling scents of mice and birds, and even some lizards. He wasn't sure how much success they'd have in catching the lizards due to the cold, but the infrequent bouts of sunshine may have brought some to the surface where they'd be slow and easy to catch if they found any. He slowed and turned to Poppyshine and Sharppaw, "Don't stray too far. We should stay together in accordance with the new rule. If we want to move out further than we can move on to a different spot. Sound good?"

Mintbranch stared around his small spot. The neat rock shelves with unique rocks and shells of animals and such neatly placed. A piece of fur stuck to the wall with mud for every type of animal he had hunted. A mossy and sandy floor to keep cushioned with a stone roof and wall to keep him and his belongings dry. A scratch carved into the wood for ever battle he fought. The names of his family carved into a wood section hidden behind the soft sandy nest he had made for himself. A puddle of water that trickled from the roots of the tree into a hole he dug.
Mintbranch had padded into a somewhat cleared area. He had collected a piece of prey on his way there, he set it down and lapped from his water source. Mintbranch suddenly looked up at the rustle of leaves, narrowing his eyes to see who was to come through the dark gap to his hiding spot, "Who's there?" he called, the first time he had spoken loud and clear. This was his spot and his shyness would not stop him from defending it.

"Just me, Cloversun," Cloversun called through. "I noticed you leaving camp, and followed you just cos well, in case you got caught. You know, with the new limitations and all..." She hasn't wanted her friend to get into trouble by being by himself outside camp and had tagged along behind, not wanting to disturb his quiet time.

She hasn't wanted her friend to get into trouble by being by himself outside camp and had tagged along behind, not wanting to disturb his quiet time.
Mintbranch relaxed as he saw Cloversun. He immediately covered a stone with the words only visible Friend List- Clo-
"Well, hi um. T-t-this is...my s-spot I guess" he said, Mintbranch was horrible at talking openly. Nodding to a soft sandy spot. "Sit if y-y-you want" he muttered. His ears down as he curled up. Revealing the rock he had tried to hide.
Shadowfur nodded. “Yeah, I was the one who found the body. No evidence was left; the body reeked of dung, with the scent of ferns underneath.”
Once leading them to the spot where he’d found the body, he began looking around. Even the smallest amount of dung could give them a lead, some sort of suspect to go off of.
Unfortunately, he didn’t find anything. Whoever must have done this did a very good job of covering their tracks. He hissed in frustration; why couldn’t this murderer just be sloppy and make things simple!?
Slytiger's ears twitched at Darkfall's words and he inclined his head in agreement. "They do," he said softly, before turning his attention back to Shadowfur and the surrounding area. "The killer is definitely smart, then. And since it's so deep in ShadowClan territory, you're probably right about it being one of our own. An outsider wouldn't bother covering their tracks, and another Clan cat would have been caught."
With his thoughts given, the Toyger moved off to investigate, light green eyes scanning the area where the body had been found. There wasn't anything to go off of, and he could only smell dung and ferns. A low hiss left his maw in frustration as he found nothing useful.
Shadowfur watched quietly as Roanpaw approached the body and sliced it with a claw. He, personally, never understood why so many cats were so intensely fascinated by dead bodies and cat pelts. Frankly, he found it odd and rather disturbing. But, this was kin of Dawnstar, so he wasn't entirely surprised.
The apprentice turned eyes on him again, speaking more of his one-word language. Briefly, Shadowfur wondered if he'd always spoken like that. Had any cat ever tried to teach him proper social skills? Or did he simply choose to speak like that?
Deciding to continue entertaining the cryptic tom, he nodded. "Yes. I kill." With a paw, he gestured to the body. "You. Skin. Gift. Dawnstar." Stars, this is a weird way to talk.
----------------------------------------------
After some time of searching, Shadowfur concluded that this was a waste of time. Whoever had done this had done an excellent job of covering their tracks. His time would be better spent gathering the other Enforcers and discussing the issue at hand with them. Glancing in the directions of Darkfall and Slytiger, he called, "This is inconclusive. Let's head back to camp."
( This patrol is finished! )

(Underlined is dead, Emberwing is italicized bc its his mom. Cloversun is the only alive friend he's got poor boy. THE KITS WILL MAKE HIM HAPPY XD)
Cloversun wasn't one to snoop, though she still felt the urge to look around. She smiled awkwardly and went to sit where Mintbranch indicated. Eyes glancing around so as to not look like she was reading, bit by bit she managed to read the stone. It was a list, with her name on it, and a few others. She recognised that the others, the underlined ones, were all dead cats. Though she hadn't known them, nor their deaths, she knew the names. A victim list? Nah, Mintbranch is too kind for that. I hope. "This is a nice spot," she mewed.

It's a list of people he loves/loved that died or are alive. Cloversun is the only alive one lol.)
Mintbranch gave a shy smile. "Thanks. I try to keep it secret from others. I think I can trust you though." he said. After a few moments of silence the tom meowed. "Y-you can look around if you want."
Sorrelflare nose picked up a sharp scent of catmint and he snipped off 3 leaves of that before sweeping his eyes to look at the plants nearby eyes focusing on the borage and he quickly collected two leaves of that as well. His eyes looked toward the last member of the patrol who hadn’t moved or down anything yet with a sharp look, “We need catmint, borage, and burdock roots.”
