RiverClan Clearing

[Fawn]

Fawnsqueak was disrupted from his daydream when he heard Lionstar's call and trotted over with concern pooling in his wide eyes, yet he couldn't discern if it was over Lionstar's condition or the patrol mission. "So... rats," he said with a thick swallow, pupils gliding to the rest of the cats as they congregated. He'd never dealt with rats before. "I guess if you're sure? I seriously don't think I'm qualified.." Trailing off, he fell into a nervous chuckle and sincerely hoped this wouldn't end in too many injuries even if he didn't have any experience to prepare him for it. "Okay, great, uh-- lead the way, Fallenstorm? I think everyone's ready." It wouldn't be the first time they journeyed together.

"I want to be a fish," He admitted with a crooked grin. "You know, the whole ocean and river to yourself.. don't gotta worry about dirt-brain shadowclan. Idiots couldn't catch a fish if their lives depended on it, huh?" Koistream chuckled quietly, deciding to strike up a conversation.

Wormpaw was slightly surprised at Koistream's sudden appearance. He didn't bother to get up, glancing the tom up and down for a moment. Small talk. Yes. He could do this. "It'll getting boring staying in one simple pond and you'll die rather quickly. Birds are a better choice. Free-range and claws, " Wormpaw replied, stifling a yawn. He would push himself up from the ground, sitting up so he would have a more proper stance. "You're right about ShadowClan. They can't even hurt a fly, " The apprentice agreed, hell. They couldn't even do the whole shadow edge thing correctly!
Being dark and brooding took effort, but not too effort. You didn't want to be a tryhard. Wormpaw would silently nod in agreement to himself.

What an odd apprentice. Koistream knew that the clan was.. just a little bit over run with apprentices, but even then that didn't explain why Wormpaw -- a weird name for a weird cat -- was like this? "I suppose so but if you live in the ocean, you could technically fly I'm the water and crawl along the bed of the sea." He quietly debated to the Tom, washing his ear with an idle paw. "It depends, you know, on what type of fish or bird you are. It's all fine to say you'd enjoy the bird life but what if you come back as a little robin? You'd be someones dinner in a matter of moments... probably to one of those Shadowclan cats," He said with a low, cheeky chuckle. Koistream might've be a warrior, a mentor, a father even hut he was still a cocky little kit at heart.

eclipse kit looked around the clearing and saw a young apprentice hopping around he could hear the name 'wormpaw" from the other apprentices "wormpaw? a name like that is very interesting but i kinda like it" eclipse kit stood strong on her four legs and walked like a warrior toward the apprentices and said "hi there"

[tye]

The word 'rats' instantly made his fur stand up like a porcupine and heart pound against his chest and ears. He wanted to interject but the pages of good excuses were empty. He doesn't have any other patrols, duties nor an apprentice to train. Greenfur's mouth hung open for a minute or so before clenching his jaw down tight. An image of those disgusting rodents with beady eyes and sharp teeth made the white warrior shudder. Troubled flashbacks swept through his wide green eyes before Fawnsqueak's voice slowly floated above snapping him back to reality. "Ah- ..y-yes..," there was a slight tremble in his mew. He cleared his throat. "I'm ready to go."

Oh, beans. Why didn't Lionstar just change their name already if it was such a challenge to say? Sassafrasfire didn't think it was such a big deal, but Snailriver's refusal to say their name right at all was really making them think that maybe having such a name was more of a bother than a point of interesting conversation. They never got much of that anyway, so the point was moot! They look over when the leader lists them among the few who would be going to deal with a rat problem. Ah, a rat problem... Great. They get to their paws and approach the others who would be going. There was a shrimp, and another cat who seemed less enthusiastic than they themselves were. The warrior blinks at their Clanmates coolly.

"Rats are nasty, but they're still small," they say, trying to be reasonable. "Just avoid their teeth and you'll be fine." Truthfully, they didn't have experience with the nasty little things either. But a rat was just a carrion mouse. How bad could it be?

Alright, I'm going to have to lead the charge! Luckily I have help. She thought to herself as she padded to the entrance of the camp.
"Alright everyone! Stay behind me and Fawnsqueak until we issue the attack! There are a lot of them crawling around, so watch your step." She meowed declaratively. @vermin @starshooter @implimm

"First things first," he began again, "When I give you an instruction you follow it until told otherwise." The rumble of a growl of frustration caught on his words and his eyes flared as the apprentice's attitude kept up, "And secondly if you're going to act like a kit," he spat, "I can most certainly treat you like one. If you need to head back to the nursery and suckle from your mommy because you don't have the capacity to contribute anything more to the clan than snide remarks... Well, I'm sure that can be arranged."

"Hey hey hey, that's my rump pal!" Scooting away from the deputy who seemed like he didn't know the definition of personal safe or keep paws to yourself. His amber eyes drilled themselves into the deputy's gave with disgust on his face. This tom is such a nit-wit. Just to piss off Sootflare more the apprentice kept standing, facing the warrior.
"A kit is a young cat who squeals and loves to play with their imagination. I If you can see, I don't do either of those." Mossypaw contributed! He was a warrior for Starclan's sake! He proved himself so why would he need to again for a stupid golden feline and his right paw?

Her white ears perked up at the warrior's offer."Are...are you sure?" Shimmeringpaw said with hesitance, while the apprentice was quick to learn she did have a difficult time adjusting to the new form. Her bad habits were always getting in the way.

With the patrol gone, there was one more thing for him to attend to...

Trying his best to not shake as his body was wracked with coughs, expelling some goopy globs he was quick to conceal with dirt, he managed: "Sandwhisker [ @Slatepaw], I need to speak with you!"
