He lingered a moment, watching as the patrols began to organize themselves, noticing quickly enough that neither Snakewither nor Sagechaser were likely to make an appearance. He stepped forward again. "Blackhawk, replace Sagechaser leading the patrol to the Icy Heartlands for lady's mantle, lavender, and mallow." Replacing Snakewither was hardly a priority so he let that one remain with just the three.
He then turned to Hazelstripe. The attitude from his former apprentice was less than appreciated, hardly an excuse that she was now a warrior as she was still dealing with her medicine cat. However, it was also less than worth addressing, especially since he realized he had not described those specific herbs after all. So he turned to her and explained, "Chickweed are tiny white flowers along low-growing, somewhat like vines with small round leaves. Daisies are flat white flowers with a yellow center. And Dandelions are soft yellow flowers."

boarder patrol.. greeat. well, it wasn't like wildshore had anything better to do. she had already done her thrifting and her many routines, so she had succumbed a bit to bordem. she had heard word that her oh so dear brother frogkit was back in town.. she wasn't sure how to feel about that. he had been gone since kithood, and was suddenly back. she wasn't going to say she would've preferred him out of all her siblings to return, that title went to magpiepaw. but alas, she turned up in the patrol place for this border patrol to come to talk about.. worms? she shook her head slightly and rolled her eyes, she wasn't going to be taking part in this weird conversation and instead waited for this patrol to get over with.

He got up, quite confused, he was surprised for that one... He approached his patrolmates... Or who he thought they were...

Cobwebpaw huffs silently as he approaches Deerpaw. He does not say anything, he only turns his gaze to look at the ground. He feels angry - he'd much rather stay here and not go on a patrol. But he allows himself to frown and shake his head before looking at Deerpaw cautiously.

"Do you think we should get another warrior to go with us?" Deerpaw asks, anxious that the warriors assigned to go on patrol with them still hadn't shown up. "Maybe we should go tell Elmshadow?" Perhaps Frostclaw and Honeybite were just held up by something? Hopefully they were just being held up...

Cobwebpaw looks around before nods his head, approaching Elmshadow. He feels a slight panic in his stomach as he looks at the other cat - the ShadowClan Medicine Cat. "I am unsure if you realized this, Elmshadow, but Deerpaw -" His tail flicks towards the other cat. "Do not have a warrior to go with us. Any ideas? Or should the two of us apprentices go by ourselves."

Dovedance's amber eyes glittered with friendliness as she waved her tail in greeting to Blackhawk. She dipped her head as he approached.
''Hello, Blackhawk,'' Dovedance's mew was soft and warm. ''The rest of us are ready whenever you are.''

The newest enforcer was resting in a corner of the camp, paws tucked underneath him. Dazed blue eyes were flickering from the nursery, the medicine cat den and the camp’s entrance. He’d be really busy lately, he had to keep an eye out on the other members of the clan as an enforcer as well as make sure to watch the camp and patrol as a guard. Not to forget that Larkfire just had her kits as well. That whole situation was incredibly stressful, and he was getting less sleep than usual while worrying about her. Hence why he was watching the spots he was watching.
Yawning, he almost bit his tongue off in surprise when called by Vulturefang. Really? A patrol now?? And to the ThunderClan border no less! Ugh, he thought he’d manage to escape visiting that accursed border but it seems like that wasn’t the case. Fine. He’d go out. Not that he really had a choice anyways, his duties as a warrior and his responsibility as an enforcer meant that he’d have to be a proper example for the other members of the clan, regardless of what he had going on personally.
Getting up and padding over slowly, he noticed that his patrol mates hadn’t yet come over. Hmm… Wildshore and Sunsetpaw, eh? Okay, that was fine. The large tom hadn’t done any work with Wildshore previously, but Sunsetpaw he’d work with on occasion. The young she-cat was starting to grow on him with her seemingly endless energy at times. Darkfall felt confident about how this patrol would go. He’d take them out, check the borders with haste, there would be no problems (he’d accept nothing less, and have a fit if there were), and then he’d quickly get back and check in on Larkfire. This was a good plan, and he’d make sure it worked out perfectly.
Taking the brief moment of pause before they were interrupted, Darkfall saw an opportunity. A slight mischievous grin wormed its way into his face, tiredness and stress momentarily forgotten. Remembering a conversation he had at the meeting not too long ago, he leaned in closer to Vulturefang. [B]”Hey Vulturefang,”[B] he whispered ominously ”Your son, Glowingkit, informs me that he may be a worm.” A brief pause he fought down the laugh that threatened to escape him. ”when I asked if the same would go for you and his siblings, he was unsure. So I told him that I’d ask the next time you sent me out on a patrol.” he turned to fully face the deputy before asking in the most serious tone of voice and face possible ”Vulturefang. Are you a worm?”
━━━━━━━━┛ ✠ ┗━━━━━━━━
Right before the massive cat could take his leave, Darkfall caught his attention. Ear tips pricking in mild annoyance, he reluctantly tipped his head lower to hear what the guy had to say. Surely it was something important, why else would the other tom question him? But the more he listened the more he regretted his decision. He knew he shouldn't of believe that this moron had something important to say. An exhausted scowl imprinted on his facial features, as he stared into dead space..... Was he being serious? Oh god....
Returning to his height he snorted out a scoff. " Are you pulling my leg or something? " he groaned. " There's no way the my own flesh and blood, my kid, thinks he's a god damn worm." The one time he has kids, is the one time they all act like nut cases. Typically, he wouldn't care... Believe what you want, just so long as it didn't bother him. And this seemed to be the case, but the problem was that Glowingkit didn't think he's something cool like a badger or a fox, hell, he wouldn't of cared if he said a chicken... But no the one animal he chose was a worm. A WORM. OF ALL THE THINGS IN MOTHER NATURE. Nope, nuh uh... He wouldn't be hoping on this train.
" You stopped your patrol to ask me if I was a worm?... Jesus Christ, Darkfall...." he sighed, " Do I look like a worm to you? Actually, forget I asked. I'm not fueling this conversation. " This was bothering him more than he'd like to admit. Call it petty, but this was Vulturefang for you. Tail lashing, he took a moment to collect himself before responding. "This was the dumbest question I've heard in my entire life, not only that, but it was a waste of my time." he shook his head, " Go do your job, and refrain from asking anymore brain numbing questions. " Vulturefang turned his back and stalked off in the opposite direction, all the while muttering a string of curses.
Ugh... Sometimes he worried about those twos sanity...

The dark medicine cat was about to turn away when a voice piped up. He’d noticed a few still lingering in the clearing so Cobwebpaw’s claim rang true enough though he’d hoped it would have figured itself out. Elmshadow waited another moment, looking up away from the two apprentices standing in front of him without saying a word, searching the clearing for Honeybite and Frostclaw. Eventually he sighed and moved through Cobwebpaw and Deerpaw, ”Let’s go.” If Honeybite or Frostclaw ended up catching up then he could return to his work, otherwise making sure there were ample herbs to work with was a priority anyways and he’d know at least this one was getting done.

Was it worth it? Oh absolutely! Vulturefang’s reaction to being asked if he was a worm was hilariously perfect. Just as he’d expect from the over-serious deputy. To top it all off, Vulturefang didn't strictly deny being a worm, so the younger tom would take that it was still a possibility for the sake of entertaining Glowingkit. it wasn’t often that Darkfall made jokes like this or played around, but a promise was a promise and he had told the young tom at the meeting that he’d ask for him.
The large deputy did have a point though, he needed to get back to work. Turning to his patrol mates, he forced his face into neutrality but he couldn’t hide the mirth that danced within his blue eyes. He cleared his throat before addressing them. ”Sorry about that, a promise is a promise and I can’t make a habit of breaking those, now can I? Let’s get going shall we?”
Turning, he flicked his tail to signal the other cats accompanying him to follow. Oh, that so made up for the assigned to the ThunderClan border. It seemed that his question had gotten under Vulturefang’s skin, and with that, the young enforcer discovered that doing so could actually be quite entertaining. Perhaps he’d bring it up at a later time.
Pushing the thought of out of his mind, he walked out of the camp and began heading towards the border. Okay. Now was the time to get back into serious mode. First thing’s first, go to the border, get back, check on Larkfire. Everything else didn’t matter, he had his fun and now he had to do his job. He was an enforcer, not just a normal warrior, he had to lead by example and keep everyone else in line too. But who said enforcers couldn’t have a little fun from time to time?
[ @Pitou @marshall my next post shall be at the border. Figured I’d at least get this reaction done]
Hazelstripe

The amber-eyed tabby gave Elmshadow a quick nod when he explained the herbs that she and her group would be looking for. Why couldn't he have just said that from the get-go? It wouldn't have been too much extra work to explain what the heck they were looking for, and now she had to use both her and her former mentor's precious time to stop him and ask. Ugh, she was going to have to explain this whenever her patrolmates came over too, wouldn't she? Why couldn't they be on time?
With a roll of her eyes, Hazelstripe awaited her patrolmates patiently. A considerable amount of time had passed since they were called to join her but they never did. Pathetic. Absolutely and utterly pathetic. If one couldn't be on time or bother to help serve their clan by going on patrols, then they didn't deserve to be a member of the clan. At least, that's how she saw it in her eyes. If you were a member of a clan, you were expecting to contribute to collecting herbs, hunting prey, and keeping the clan safe, right? It only made sense that you'd do your share if you wanted to have the same consideration to treatment as everyone else, that was the only way to keep everything running properly. Lips turned downward into a disgusted frown, she lashed her tail impatiently.
Just what was going on in this clan? The warriors and apprentices were lazy as hell! Having waited a while longer, the young warrior let out a snarl of frustration and marched her way out of the camp. If they weren't going to come, she wasn't going to waste any more of her precious time stalling when there were other things she could be doing.
