SILVERSTAR It was still fairly early in the morning, and dew still dotted the reeds that surrounded the RiverClan camp. Silverstar gave a wide yawn and stretched, finishing the fish she had been eating before padding over to the apprentices' den, where Thistlepaw was sharing tongues after the morning meal with a few of the other apprentices.
"Thistlepaw," Silverstar mrrowed as she approached, a fondness for her apprentice in her tone. "I thought today we might take the dawn patrol ourselves, and do some hunting on the way back to camp. Are you up for it?" |

"Hm? What border would we be patrolling? Could we please do the border near the horseplace? You know about that really good marshy area with all of the frogs!" Thistlepaw leapt up from where she was relaxing with her denmates. Full of energy and excitement, the apprentice was itching to leave the camp. "Do you think we'll meet any farm-cats or loners?" The young she-cats questions were nearly asked concurrently. Without bothering to quickly groom her pelt as per usual after a meal, Thistlepaw bounced towards the entrance of the camp, without bothering to check if her mentor was following, and not giving her a proper chance to reply either. OOC/NOTES: You don't have to do everything she wants, she is bossy and self-centred. Scold her if you want, she's got some bad behaviours for a cat that's nearly a warrior. |

SILVERSTAR "We'll be heading towards Sunningrocks," Silverstar called after her, following Thistlepaw. "So I don't think we'll be meeting any farm-cats. ThunderClan warriors, however, could be a problem."
She caught up to the excited apprentice, reaching a paw out to stop Thistlepaw in her tracks. "You enthusiasm is appreciated, Thistlepaw, but with only the two of us on patrol this morning, we are going to need to rely on stealth more." ((OOC: Okay, thanks! c:)) |

Thistlepaw's stance slightly drooped when she heard her leader's response, but it didn't kill her mood thankfully. "Oh okay! We're going to hunt at Sunningrocks? What would we do if we see those flea-bitten Thunderclan cats?!" The young cat slowed to a relaxed pace beside the silver tabby. "Are we going to hunt for fish or land-prey?" This last question was calmly asked, the brown and white tabby was trying to calm down to be more mature like her superior. I hope we meet some Thunderclan cats. The only time she'd been in a border scuffle was when she was a newly made apprentice, and she was forced to stay back. How am I ever supposed to be a warrior if I haven't been in a real fight? |

SILVERSTAR "With luck we won't see them," Silverstar mewed as they padded along towards the border. "ThunderClan knows well enough to stay off RiverClan territory. And should we meet a patrol, it will do us best to not instigate a fight. There are only two of us, after all."
She flicked her ear as they walked, listening to the sounds surrounding them. "We'll fish today. But if we find any mice or voles nearby, it won't do any harm to hunt them as well." |

"You're right, we don't want a fight. There are only two of us..." The apprentice opened her mouth to get a better smell of the world around her. She could smell the faint scent of little water voles who'd scurried past the area, the scent of her leader, and the scent of previous patrols too. And underlying scent was that of rotting vegetation, leaves were falling, and grass was dying, and also the thick scent of rains to come. As they approached the river, it's usual gentle gurgle that was usually to be heard sounded a bit more violent on this day. "The river sounds high, do you think it will be safe to cross the stepping stones?" |

SILVERSTAR Silverstar flicked her ears, listening to the sound of the water rushing. "Maybe not," she mused, before glancing to her apprentice. "We'll go and check. If there's any spot we can cross safely at, then we'll patrol Sunningrocks and hunt a bit before heading back. If the river is too high..." she paused. "We'll hunt the reeds on the banks." |

When they arrived at the riverbank, the water wasn't as high as the apprentice had anticipated. The torrent of the river slapping at the banks and the stepping stones sent droplets of water flying. The stepping stones were potentially safe, depending on the balance and footing of the cat crossing them. They were dark and slimy, shining with the white light of the clouds. "They look like they could be slippery..." Thistlepaw's concern wasn't too strong, she was confident enough in her swimming abilities, but any cat from any other clan cat could easily drown if they fell in the river now.
Beneath the rough surface of the water, she saw glimpses of fish, swimming in place upstream. They would make a tasty meal, if only they were closer to the surface. |

SILVERSTAR "We should be fine," Silverstar mewed, though she shared her apprentices' concern. "I'll cross first," she suggested, "follow my pawsteps."
The silver tabby bounced onto the first rock, keeping her balance. Rock after rock she crossed the river, managing not to slip. When she reached the bank on the other side, she turned and waited for Thistlepaw. |

"Alright! I got this!" The Riverclan apprentice took a large enough leap, and landed safely on the first stepping stone. She took another leap. And another. And soon she was safely across the river, only with freezing wet paws. "That was fun!! Do we hunt or mark the border first?" The energy that Thistlepaw had been suppressing seemed to resurface with the playful task of crossing the river. |

SILVERSTAR "We'll mark the border first," Silverstar suggested, flicking her tail. "Once we know the area is free of any trespassers, we'll hunt." |

"Alright." Thistlepaw quietly padded to the Thunderclan/Riverclan border, and marked her scent. "Do you think Thunderclan will try to take sunningrocks from us again?" The younger she-cat asked. |

SILVERSTAR "They can dare," Silverstar growled, though her tone was playful with her apprentice. She paused to mark her scent. "Well," she mewed, "do you smell any ThunderClan warriors? Is it safe to hunt?" |

Thistlepaw's tail lashed at the thought of Thunderclan trying to steal the rocks that were rightfully Riverclan's. Last time we fought here, Palepaw was killed... The thought intruded the brown tabby's concentration. Giving her head a little shake, as if to clear it from mud, she began to take in the scents of the area around her. While she didn't smell any Thunderclan cats on sunningrocks, she could smell their reek from the border not too far away. "The only Thunderclan warriors I smell are-" Her sentence was cut off when she noticed a distinct and unfamiliar scent of a cat. It smelled like no other clan cat, and it didn't smell like any loners or rogues, it didn't even smell like a farm-cat. "A strange cat has been here, smell." The Riverclan cat was dead serious as she gestured to an area near the rocks.
OOC: The cat she smells may be Sugar... |

SILVERSTAR ((OOC: Oooh, okay!)) Silverstar nodded. "You're correct," she meowed quietly, sitting down. "A stranger was on our territory not too long ago. Can you tell anything else about them from their scent?" |

"Hmm..." The young she-cat was deep in thought, trying to put what her nose smelled into words. She put her nose to the stone and deeply inhaled, trying to find more hidden details in the stale scent of the intruder. "...This cat... I've never smelled any like it before, it reminds me of the sent of the twolegs that came here in greenleaf. It smells like a she-cat though." Thistlepaw was quite uncertain as to why a cat would smell like twolegs, she hadn't yet made the connection that it may very well be a kittypet. |

SILVERSTAR Silverstar purred her praise, "Very good," she mewed. "The scent belongs to a kittypet, which is why she smells of the two-legs. I found her hunting in RiverClan territory." |

Thistlepaw was surprised to have not heard of this yet. "What did you do to her? How come I wasn't there? How come I didn't know?!" Having never met a kittypet before, this was quite exciting for her, yet she was somewhat upset about not being there to meet it. |

SILVERSTAR "I was patrolling alone," Silverstar explained, her tone apologetic. "I did not expect to find any trespassers, believe me. This kittypet - Sugar is her name - she seemed interested in Clan life. I offered her a place among us. She asked if she could think on it." |

Thistlepaw gasped. "A kittypet, in Riverclan?! That's outrageous! Kittypets can't even hunt for themselves, let alone a whole clan!" Being young and inexperienced, the young she-cat saw only cons with having a kittypet in the clan, even if there may be some pros. |

SILVERSTAR "This kittypet is different," Silverstar replied calmly, and the look in her eyes suggested she believed what she was saying. "She had caught herself a fish, all on her own. RiverClan is in need of able-bodied warriors, and with Leafbare coming, a cat that knows how to fish well could be of value to us." |
