Badgers, foxes, birds of prey, she would have to ask some other warriors a for their opinions as well but for now, Flintclaw’s thoughts would be a good basis. As the warrior continued, Rosekit flicked the tip of her tail as she gathered the impression that Flintclaw wasn’t so happy to teach her things when… if she wasn’t mistaken, he was a mentor. He better get used to teaching and if he doesn’t, Bumblestar would be the first to know of his inadequency. “Do you have any tips for defense or offense for any of the predators you mentioned? You said you would take a fox, are you experienced with the matter?”
As much as Rosekit wanted to ask and ask away, she also wanted to learn more about the other kinds of patrols before she spirals too far off track. The russet tabby pondered for a moment before deciding to move on. “I’ll have more questions but for now can you move onto hunting patrols? Oh! Yes, do we eat predators if we run into them?”
OrangeFlower had been making a (poor) attempt to groom through her fluffed, thick pelt…yeah…that wasn’t going great for her, but maybe it’d help its appearance in the slightest? Yeah- totally! She cocked her orange and white head to the side ad the Hornet seemed to be gathering her and a few other cats up. All cats…that knew papa. Well- not really her dad, he died after acting like she didn’t exist her kithood. But FoxSkipper was the closest she ever got to having a father figure. As she looked to the brown hornet, her gentle grin faded into a look of pure horror.

No amount of times that it rang through her head could she justify it. Nothing could. That was Fox- that was her dad. He couldn’t- he wouldn’t just leave. “P-p- pa- pa…” her voice was a weak tremble as her legs struggled to pusher her into a standing position. Her steps were slow, thinking that it’d just disappear and she’d wake up if enough time passed. As his body finally came into her eyesight she felt a stabbing pain in her chest as her ears twisted back. “No- n-nonononono NO!” she cried, forcing herself a few steps closer to her body before she couldn’t anymore, and her legs weak with shock and grief gave out under her. The she-cat buried her face into her paws as cries rattled her.
There were only three cats that could ease her pain…one was missing and…the other was now dead.

>It was an ordinary day so far, and sweetswan was lounging inside the warriors den. She curled up in an attempt to get some sleep, but quickly jumped up at a familiar voice crying out. The cream and brown tabby made her way outside the warriors den and saw her mate sobbing near the body of two deceased elders. "oh dear," she whispered softly, tail drooping.
quickly, sweetswan made her way over to orangeflower, forcing out a purr. "Hey dearie," she murmured to the other she-cat, sitting down next to her. "I'm so sorry hun. I'm here if you need me, yeah?" the tabby said gently, attempting to nuzzle the grief-stricken cat.
She looked over at orange's papa (as she had called out), and saw other cats, both upset at the loss of the two elders. One was already being taken care of, and she was sure the others would be taken care of by the hornet or medicine cat. But for now, Sweetswan would focus on her mate. "Mudhound?" she called out to the hornet. "Would it be alright if I accompany you all to the burial?" she asked kindly, shuffling her paws. She hadn't known foxskipper or Mudtrot all that well, but nevertheless, they were clanmates. That was the sad part of living in a clan.

PepperKit turned to face the gray kit that approached her. The kit was probably a moon-ish younger than her…so she was this kits superior! No no- orrrrrrr she could befriend this one and have a forever-sidekick! But there was also her twin- Sweets was forced to be PepperKits friend forever! Ah- she was being questioned! “I’m practicing to be the bestest hunter eva’!” she chirped with a happy tail flick.

"Minnowtail. I know it doesn't fit me that well, but that's my name." He finished the bird, then curled his fluffy tail over his paws. "Anything new other than patrols, eating, and sleeping?"

Leopardrift giggled a bit at the name, nodding as he stretched out, purring, his large paws opening out as they yawned, running their tongue over their muzzle. He looked over, blinking. "I mean I've been taking some walks in the territory, it's crazy how much we miss because we're so wrapped up in the life of the clan-" He murmured dreamily, looking up at the sky.

Today was a new day, and a new day meant finding and bettering herself for the future! Not only was she on the look out for new members of the Flower Guard, but she was also in patrol, and also she was on the look out for slacking off warriors to request lessons from. Shooting a remark back to her litter in the nursery, Rosekit set off to the middle of the clearing so that she could properly look around to see what everyone was up to. It was likely that morning patrols were out, she needed to get used to waking up sooner if she still was waking up past those.
Oh, that was someone she hasn't really spoken to before. Spiderthroat. Thunderclan's deputy, her future rival... or maybe the leader she would serve under when she's older. While she wasn't too familiar with Spiderthroat and didn't quite look up to him in the same way she idealized Bumblestar, Rosekit wasn't about to miss the opportunity to seize an learning opportunity from the older tom. With her mind made up, the russet tabby made her way over to the deputy. "Spiderthroat? Are you very busy? Sorry for the bother, but I was wondering if you could maybe... teach me something new?"
"I've already practiced my hunting crouch with Tigerpelt and practiced my battle with Flamekit and Raccoonhowl. You see, I'm practicing because I wanna be a good leader for the Flower Guard." The kitten explained, though avoided mentioning that the Guard was still a very much in progress project of Rosekit's but hopefully she would have some actual members of it sooner rather than later.

Ew. A kit.
The tom, for a moment, simply ignored the tiny fur ball that was yapping at him. It was far too early (it wasn't) and he had no experience with kits (he somehow had adopted like at least 20). But she kept talking and he could only ignore so much.
A gurgled sigh escaped his maw and he turned to look at the kit with a quirked brow. "Flower guard?" he asked simply, shifting so he was now laying in front of her. Head propped up on his front paws, that were crossed in front. "This a new cult?" he mused, tail flicking behind him.
"Becuase dependin on your answer, I may teach you somethin' , or I may just leave you to your own devices." a twitch of his nose.

The kitten frowned, ears pulling back at the deputy's words before she swiftly pivoted to explaining that the Flower Guard was most certainly not a cult! She would not allow such slander while she was here. "No, it isn't a cult! Not at all. See, I really want to help Thunderclan, and so I've been taking up learning all I can and patrolling around camp, but... Somehow... I uhh," She faltered for a long moment before swalling thickly and continuing, "Despite my efforts, my mom and sister and brother are all gone now. Which means I need to be even better, and I figured if I made a group of cats to watch out then no one would be able to disappear anymore! The Flower Guard!" The kitten finished eagerly.
"But to be a good leader, just like Bumblestar, I gotta learn all I can! I'm basically apprentice aged anyways, so I may as well get a headstart on my learning. That way I could help my guard be even better." Or in a much shorter version, her team of wannabe hornets. Though she didn't like that description either because the Hornets are something else, the Flower Guard were cats that acted as extra ears or eyes and helped keep everyone safe and alive, which gave the Hornets more time to properly enforce other directions as given by the High Ranks. It was a whole system mapped out in her head, even if it didn't make sense to really anyone but her so far.

"put your energy in today and not rooted in the past"
”Yeah,” he said softly. Clan life makes you get caught up in feeding or protecting your Clan, then you forget about the beauty of the little things. Like the sprigs of grass in new-leaf, the fluffy clouds in the sky, or all of the animals that live peacefully together, living their own life. What would it be like to not live in a Clan? Would you be able to think about everything, and not just your Clan?
Badgers, foxes, birds of prey, she would have to ask some other warriors a for their opinions as well but for now, Flintclaw’s thoughts would be a good basis. As the warrior continued, Rosekit flicked the tip of her tail as she gathered the impression that Flintclaw wasn’t so happy to teach her things when… if she wasn’t mistaken, he was a mentor. He better get used to teaching and if he doesn’t, Bumblestar would be the first to know of his inadequency. “Do you have any tips for defense or offense for any of the predators you mentioned?

Ah, now this was something Flintclaw could talk about for ages. That which he took the most pride in: his capability in battle, especially against other predators. His eyes gleamed with interest as he nodded. "Yes, a few of them. That's where this came from," He gestured to the scar on his chest. She probably didn't care for the details of what happened, so he moved on to actually answering her questions. Despite his dislike for the kit, Flintclaw refused to miss an opportunity to teach anyone about fighting in any capacity.
"Techniques for defense and offense or mostly the same against a larger predator, since you have to mix together both to survive any encounter." He began. He realized that he needed to break this down by type. It would make the explanation longer, but hopefully would be of some use. If not to Rosekit, then maybe another cat that was probably listening.
"Foxes are agile and faster than you would expect. Numbers is the best way to scare them off, but some, especially red foxes, are likely to flee with a few good hits. Coordinated attacks, or sporadic ones if you're alone, can confuse and overwhelm them." He explained. "Try to conserve as much energy as possible while still avoiding their fangs, as they have very high stamina."
"Badgers, however... you must do your best to stay behind them. Their hind claws can do damage, but they are less accurate and, unlike foxes, badgers are not able to turn and maneuver quickly. The teeth and claws of a badger can disable or kill a cat in the blink of an eye." Flintclaw warned, pausing for a moment to let his statement settle. "If you have the capabilities, use your smaller size to maneuver through spaces it can't reach, just don't get yourself cornered because they are ruthless and will dig until they can reach you."
"For birds of prey," Ah, the one he was least experienced with. Should he admit that? Hmm... Maybe that would be necessary. "I have not fought them, personally, so my knowledge is only second hand. Cover is your best friend, and if you can get them on the ground, you have a greater advantage as long as you can avoid their beaks and talons."
Flintclaw wasn't sure when the last time was that he spoke so much. He tried to break it down to more digestable answers, as anyone overwhelmed by information was less likely to absorb any of it. The last thing thunderclan needed was cats that confused how to fight different types of predators.
"As for eating other predators," His eyes travelled to the fresh-kill pile. "Birds of prey, yes. The others... it depends on the health of them and the needs of the clan. It's not a normal practice, though."
@Dolomedes (Still don't know EXACTLY how he got his scar... lol... also, totally winging this so I hope it at least sounds good haha)
