with her ears perked, cloverspark made her way through the undergrowth. thankfully the forest was much easier to navigate through now that the trees were farther apart, and the molly was even able to spot places where she'd be able to store her bundle of herbs for the time being. it wouldn't be easy to carry them around all day, after all, and it might be nice to give herself a break from holding them. as she approached a hollowed out log to get a closer look, the molly was able to spot a nice clump of herbs growing nearby! deciding that it definitely wouldn't hurt to have a few more herbs with her, she took a few before continuing on. (+1 water hemlock, +1 goatweed, +1 catchweed)
upon picking up the fresh scent of a rabbit nearby, the molly paused in her tracks. she *was* starting to feel hungry, and she needed to be sure to keep her strength up not long after she had begun to pursue the scent, she was able to come across a half-eaten rabbit. she scented something else, too...
"hey!" an unfamiliar voice hissed, causing cloverspark to jump away from the remaining scraps. "stay away from that! that's my catch." she turned to see a couple of rogues only a few tail lengths away, though one seemed to be hanging back in an attempt to avoid any conflict. the other seemed much more hostile, his tail lashing as they approached her.
"oh! I don't want any trouble. here, you can take it." the rogue only growled in response before swiping at cloverspark with his claws unsheathed, only narrowly missing the molly. cloverspark blinked in surprise at the sudden attack before lashing back, her claws raking against his shoulder. though she hadn't had much experience in fighting, the molly seemed to be much more skilled than the rogue. it seemed as though he wasn't the best fighter. she pounced, her paws outstretched, and soon had the tom pinned.
"leave." the rogue nodded, surprised at his defeat, before reluctantly leaving the area. hopefully he wouldn't be back any time soon.
fortunately for cloverspark, she had been able to come out of the brief fight unscathed. he had left behind the scraps, too, giving her something to eat (+1 scraps). the other rogue hesitantly approached her, an apologetic look on their face.
"would you mind if I helped you out a bit? I'm sorry about whatever trouble we may have caused." cloverspark nodded in response, a thoughtful expression on her face.
maybe they'd be interested in joining her, too? (+1 common myo)

after the two warriors had stopped bickering with one another, the patrol continued on quietly. thankfully the weather had been fairly calm, considering how harsh the cold could be during the season of leafbare.
it wasn't long before something seemed to have caught flamepetal's eye. approaching a nearby tree stump to get a closer look, the molly was able to find some poppy seeds! carefully collecting them to bring along with her, she picked them up gently in her jaws before rejoining the rest of the patrol. (+1 poppy seeds)
out of the corner of his eye, scratchface was able to spot an owl silently hovering over an area nearby, most likely to catch something it saw. with prey scarcer than ever, it was important that they took every chance to catch prey that they had. if they were quick enough, the patrol might be able to catch the prey before the owl did. nodding to the others, scratchface led the group as they approached the area with soft, quick pawsteps. it wasn't long before they had found themselves in a small clearing, where they saw the owl swoop down on the tiny figure of a bony shrew. it must have had bad luck with finding food during the season, as it seemed to seem near starved.
not wanting the bird to take the patrol's rare chance of a meal, falconcry pounced forward and latched herself onto the owl's large wing. it flapped its wings in an attempt to shake the molly off, but it had little chance to do so before firestorm had pinned down its other wing. now overpowered, the owl was dragged to the ground as it fought hard to escape the cats' grasp. scratchface approached, delivering a powerful swipe to the creature's head, and together the three were soon able to bring down the owl. what a catch! it had taken a good amount of time and energy from the group, but it overall seemed to be well worth the effort.(+4fp, +4xp)
flamepetal had easily managed to catch the nearby shrew, as it didn't seem to have much strength to try to run away. (+1fp, +1xp)
as the group began their return to camp, the silence was suddenly interrupted by a series of sneezes from firestorm. he assured the rest that he was fine, though it was clear that he wasn't feeling well. "we'll get you checked out by the healer once we get back to camp." scratchface said with a curt nod. the tom agreed, if somewhat reluctantly, not wanting to create an argument with the other warrior.
looks like firestorm is sick! he'll need x1 poppy seeds to recover
