The deadpanned look on Lightningpaw's face remained while Halfpaw spoke, completely unimpressed by his lack of... curiosity? Lightningpaw had been so desperate for any kind of knowledge ever since she was a kit, the idea of simply not asking when something new and unknown was presented to anyone was something she couldn't fathom. Her lack of emotion melted away, however, as the apprentice began insulting himself, clearly remorseful. While she had wanted him to realize he needed to ask in the future, she hadn't intended for him to feel so low that he genuinely believed he was a hare-brain. Having been unobservant and being a... dumbbell, as he'd put it, were too different things, and she didn't wish for him to go out of this feeling so put down over a mistake. She had always been a bit overly blunt, hadn't she?
Before she could assure Halfpaw that it was fine - in as professional a way as she could that didn't involve grabbing his little cheeks and telling him he was not a dumbbell - Slightpoppy intervened, providing more of an explanation. The silver lining of course being that there was no herb shortage in their new home. Relief twitching her whiskers, she nodded, her tail giving a lazy sway in the breeze. She had gathered one thing very clearly from all of this. Halfpaw's mentor was lacking, and Slightpoppy had merely been confused as far as the herbs went. She supposed... yellow, heavily petalled flowers could look like sunfuzzies - the name had still not stopped being funny - if one thought about their white, fuzzy shape once the petals went away.
"It's fine. Accidents happen," the apprentice mewed with a shrug, her gaze thoughtful, still mulling over Halfpaw's mentor comment. "I'm afraid any visual examples will be unavailable until we find some. Fire ate away at our stores. I'll bring it up with Cowtuft that we'll need to send for some in the future. Just remember though, if in doubt next time, feel free to drag me out of the medicine cat's den by my tail to ask me if you have to. I promise I don't bite... much," Lightningpaw purred, a mischievous grin lighting her face for a moment before she twitched her tail in dismissal. Unless there was anything more to add, they were done here.

| Yep, I was aware of the extension. There were never going to be any in character repercussions for either Slightpoppy or Halfpaw. Lightningpaw was just being Lightningpaw here, no worries. |

After returning from his eventful patrol and escorting Mistycloud to Twilightstar's den, the deputy leapt down to sit at the base of the Galewood while he waited for patrols to report.
Cliffjumper checked if Leopardpaw and Rabbiteye were with him. "Fallownose?" The flame coloured tom meowed, "Thunderglade is marked. ThunderClan scent was there, with a faint scent of blood.(Blackfir's murder) Most likely a border scuffle. Otherwise, the patrol went well."
As Cliffjumper approached he perked his ears in attention, listening with interest as the report was delivered. "I see. Thank you for letting me know. I haven't heard about any border scuffles, so I'll report this to Twilightstar."

"Fallownose." The bulky dark gray warrior walked in, giving his scarred chest a few quick licks. "Moorpaw and I finished hunting, no trouble, aside from Crowflutter. I know I saw her hunting, but I'm sure where she got to while I was busy hunting with Moorpaw." The tom gave a brief report seeing no need to go into great detail about it. Assuming there would be no question needing answers, Leechscar padded off to go take a nap.
Leechscar came to report next, and it seemed everything went well other than Crowflutter disappearing mid-patrol. "Good job. I'll keep an eye out for her return and talk to her about it."

"Fallownose, I completed my first patrol as a patrol leader." The chubby, short, warrior announced chest puffed out. Then she recalled that she should probably tell him what happened, this was no time for bragging. "Slatepaw and I hunting a big hare, and Moonwhisker got two rabbits. It was a good hunting patrol, no trouble or nothing." Dreamlight purred, awaiting praise. She better get praised for this, it was hella stressful.
"Oh, and Slatepaw's mentor is doing a dungy job of training her. She didn't know how to hunt at all. I'll tell my mother if you or Slatepaw don't first." She was hoping Slatepaw did since it was her training that as slowing down because of it.
@Lillian [almost forgot the patrols were due today]
Fallownose couldn't help the purr of amusement that rumbled in his throat as Dreamlight puffed out her chest when she announced the patrol was completed. After having helped fight off one of the foxes in the Warren, he had figured leading a patrol would be no problem.
"Good job Dreamlight. I'm sure everyone will be thankful now that the prey pile is finally getting stocked. As for Slatepaw, thank you for bringing that my attention. I'll speak with your mother about getting her reassigned."

Once she found the clan’s deputy, she padded over with a friendly smile, calling his name softly as she approached. “Fallownose, our hunt was a success. We each caught a piece of prey–Dapplebreeze caught two small rabbits, Goldenpaw caught a finch and I caught a mouse.”
The molly paused for a moment before she lowered her voice. “...Now, I’m not completely sure, here, but I don’t think Goldenpaw’s mentor has been actively training him. He hunted very well, but he just.. Didn’t seem very confident in his own skills. I just thought I’d let you know.”
[ @Lillian , this was of course before Goldenpaw’s mentor reassignment !! ]
The fact that all of the hunting patrols reported and caught prey put the WindClan deputy in a good mood. StarClan knows they needed some luck after the fire, and it seemed like his prayers were answered. WindClan certainly wouldn't be starving anytime soon.
"Great! I'm glad we won't have to worry about lack of prey in our new home. As for Goldenpaw, I'll check in with him and make sure everything is all right," he reassured, giving Mousefern a soft smile before dismissing her.
Luckily it seemed like most of the patrols had done well, though there were still some cats he needed to talk to. Mainly the patrol to Whispering Wetlands he hadn't heard from, which was concerning. He had seen them head out, so either something happened or they slacked off. And of all the borders patrols to slack on, the one to the ShadowClan border was not it.
"Ashclaw, Pignut, Milkpaw, and Firepaw! I need to speak with you all. Goldenpaw, you as well."
Goldenpaw's head rose at the sound of Fallownose rattling off names, but his gaze was elsewhere, largely disinterested in what he had to say. Disinterested, that is, until his own name came out of the deputy's mouth! Green eyes shooting over to the gray tom, Goldenpaw padded quickly up to him and dipped his head in greeting. After taking a moment to clear his throat, he responded, "Yes?"

After Cowtuft had found out the results of the herb patrols he had sent out, the tom discovered there was only one cat he truly needed to "punish". It was a surprise - typically, there was a struggle to have any finished patrols. Cowtuft poked his head into the warrior's den, blinking in the darkness. "S..mokethroat..?" The medicine cat softly spoke, ignoring the small trip of his words. Nonetheless, he could not be soft on his clanmates!! Moss-cleaning was on Smokethroat's plans for today now!

ೃ⁀➷ @sol. || sorry for the wait -- totally didn't see this report !! ||
Cowtuft perked up as a warrior approached him. He was simply enjoying the sun, unwrapping his injured leg in preparation to change his own dressings. He offered a smile in response, legging go of tugging off the cobwebs to respond properly to .. Sunskip, Cowtuft believed? If the cream and white voice along with her voice said anything. "Thank you..!!" He signed in response, bringing his paw up to his chin and bringing it down, then repeating. It was a little bit strange for the patrol leader to not be reporting, but Cowtuft didn't question. As long as nothing went wrong, it was great! With a nod, the gentle giant returned to what he was doing.

PATROLS ARE DUE JULY 5th BY 11:59 PM EST If you need an extension, let me know within three (3) days after the deadline If you need to be replaced, let me know within two (2) days Hunting patrols, have your character place their catch on the fresh-kill pile before reporting, or your character will be punished
The slate-gray tom made his way out of the warriors' den with a yawn. Green-leaf was in full swing, and the warmth always made him a little lethargic. Fallownose gave himself a shake to wake himself up as he padded to the base of the Galewood to send out another round of patrols.
[Required Prompt: Everything is going well until you catch the scent of ThunderClan across the border. Someone crossed here, and recently, but they're not in sight anymore]
[Optional Prompt: Now that green-leaf is here it's hot. Anyone up for a mud fight to cool off?] "Silentleap [ @RunningInTheHeather], take Fuzzyblossom [ @Catherine ], Fogaw [ @Lunalis ], and Cloverpaw [ @ares ] to patrol the ShadowClan Border."
[Optional Prompt: Achoo! Looks like someone on the patrol is having seasonal allergies.] "Longmoor [ @GANDERGOOSE ], head to the RiverClan Border with Dawnbreeze[ @Honey_Shimmer ] and Aspenstrike [ @jupiter ]. Be careful as last time I was there one of their warriors was asking to join and got caught, so they might be hostile."
[Optional Prompt: Why are there clouds on the ground?? Oh wait, it's a sheep! Don't they usually travel in herds, though?] "Floatingleaf [ @Silvershadow13 ], hunt at Sunset Grove with Tigerpaw [ @CreeperLover649 ]."
[Optional Prompt: Ewww, something stinks! Do you investigate, or continue on with the patrol?] "Deadmoon [ @gs29513 ], take Swallowwing [ @Cheesy da Cheese ] hunting with you at the Sky Glade."
[Optional Prompt: For once, the wind is actually nice instead of almost blowing you off your paws. Unfortunately, it's blowing away from you instead of toward you, making it harder to hunt] "Sleekgaze [ @endlessskies ], head to Windy Hills and see what prey you can find with Cedarpaw [ @Froggy ]."
Tigerpaw heard her name called for patrol. She raced over. "Floatingleaf! I'm here!" The warrior-sized-and-aged apprentice called, looking for the warrior.

◸-------------◹ testing my activity. plz don't bother me too much.
Hearing her name called by Fallownose, Deadmoon rousted herself from her nice patch of shade beside the nursery and made her way towards the deputy. She was going hunting, which was probably better than border patrols. Border patrols were either terribly boring or violently exciting, and she much preferred the stimulating but typically safe environment of the more central parts of their territory. She had heard Berryfrost’s name called just before hers. The molly seemed nice, her being her daughter-in-law apprentice's....something was an equally positive surprise. Simple in nature, seeing as her and Berryfrost had never really interacted before she had returned, but perfectly delightful nonetheless.
She wasn't on her patrol though, so there was no point looking around as she undoubtedly made her way from wherever she had been to find her patrol-mates, Lightpaw and Twilightstar. She was instead looking for Swallowwing, a very nice name in her opinion. It had a nice symmetry about it, and fit smoothly together, seeing as swallows had wings. Hopefully her clanmate would be as affable as the name seemed to convey. No telling until Swallowing appeared though. For now she just had to wait for her patrolmate to arrive, and they could set off for Sky Glade. @Cheesy da Cheese
