Roll says... 3: Investigate.
You head upriver, trotting along the shoreline with your feet partly in the water as the sun bakes the stones on the beach. You're not sure, exactly, where ForestClan's borders end - you would assume that they end around the same place as yours do, but you can't be sure.
However, your search is stopped by your own border. The river turns a corner, presumably into ForestClan territory, and you can't see anything. You're about to step over and check it out when you hear voices heading your way. You quickly step away from the border, getting a fox-length away right as the group appear from the grove.
"And then that stupid bird grabbed my fish and flew off!" The light ginger tom shakes his head. "Before I even had a chance to go after it. I could swear it was laughing at me."
Jayface snickers behind him, and Batstream shakes her head with a smile.
"You shouldn't be leaving your prey out by itself on the beach, Thriftwhisker," replies Beefur primly. "It's your own fault that happened."
"Oh, sorry I didn't realize that out of all of the days of the season, a crane would just randomly..." Thriftwhisker pauses, noticing you. "Oh, hey. Apprentice, whose name I forget."
"Rookpaw," you say.
"Rookpaw, right." The tom grins, as if he's trying to be charming. "What're you doing here?"
"Whatever it is, you shouldn't be out here by yourself," Beefur says, frowning. "There's been an accident up here. Apprentices need to be with other cats around the river."
"Take it easy, tail-chaser." Thriftwhisker stretches. "She's fine."
"You ought to go back and find your mentor," Beefur continues. "I've no doubt she's looking for you."
You don't get a chance to respond, because, as if on cue, Applefoot's voice can be faintly heard calling your name. You sigh, and head towards the sound of her voice, half-annoyed that your investigation came to an end like that.
"There you are." Applefoot's waiting by the training arena, even though there's nobody there. "Where did you go? I thought you were just hunting."
I just went too far.
I got distracted.
I wanted to fish over there.
I heard some cats at the border.
