Russetpaw

"Russetpaw."

Aware of the toad still clutched between his teeth, said tom set the weight down before turning toward the voice that called him; it was Slyclaw, Swampclan's very own deputy. Her long fur melted from the shadows of a particularly low bush, but he eyed a few specks of mossy plant clinging to her, still. He dipped his head in greeting in response, "Good morning to you as well, Slyclaw." His eyes were wide in curiosity, wondering what she could be talking to him for. To his recollection, he hadn't done anything wrong, and nothing worth mentioning that hadn't already been said (at least, that he was aware of). Perhaps she just wanted to chat? Though, he wondered, why the deputy would have the time to speak to him. Certainly she would have other things to do, and he certainly knew he did also.

After beckoning him to follow, the young apprentice decided that he could find the time to talk to her before going out with Flametail, or at least finding him. Russetpaw was unsure whether or not the orange tom had plans, but Russetpaw would hope so; he wanted to see if he had gathered any new strength from the border fight. With the thought, he quickly glanced around, seeing if his mentor was within the camp. Aha, there! Russetpaw eyed him just a ways away near the warriors' den blending with the shadows as he daintily cleaned up. Russetpaw wasn't sure if his mentor saw him before, but as the deputy wanted to talk with him, Russetpaw could not find the time to greet him, though he would later. Hopefully, he would stay long enough so Russetpaw could ask him if there were any plans for the day.

Breaking from his thoughts, Russetpaw began to follow Slyclaw toward the sunny spot, one that had seemingly just opened up from nowhere (though, that did tend to happen when high breezes shook the canopy leaves), Russetpaw diligently picked up his toad and trailed after her. As Slyclaw dropped to the grassy ground, Russetpaw let his prey fall to the Earth and followed her example. Curling his tail around him, the tabby tom blinked at the older feline, unsure of whether or not he should speak with her or eat first.

"Eat, then I will tell you what I need." Slyclaw motioned to the toad that Russetpaw had dropped. She flicked her white tufted ears forward, listening to the uneasy meowing starting to spread through the camp. While waiting, the deputy bent down to pick out the greenery that still clung to her pelt.

Russetpaw

At the elder she-cat's command, Russetpaw initially hesitated. Briefly, he wondered if maybe the talk was important? Then again, as he previously thought, he didn't recall anything significant lately, whether that significance was good or bad. Flicking his tail and mentally setting the thought away, Russetpaw craned his neck and began to diligently rip off a few toad limbs. As he absentmindedly ate, the russet-colored tom eyed the deputy, waiting for her to begin speaking.

((Sorry about the quality of this post, it's really short and blah. ; u ; It's a bit hard to work off what you had. ^^;))

(That's alright, I think your post is just perfect!)
Slyclaw cleared her throat, and began to speak, "Russetpaw, the Leader has chosen you, Shadowfur, Beepaw, Flametail and I to seek out a new prey that has been lurking in the swamps..." she finished her sentence, shaking her fur out. "As soon as I tell the others, I will call you out. IN the meantime, enjoy your frog, and if you want any advice, come to me." she finished, getting up and padding over to Shadowfur, telling him the mission.

Russetpaw

Russetpaw jerked his head up at the sound of a throat clearing. "Russetpaw, the leader has chosen you, Shadowfur, Beepaw, Flametail, and I to see out a new prey that has been lurking in the swamps..." The young cat tilted his head in curiosity. So this is what was deemed so important. Somewhere, in the darkest depths of his mind, Russetpaw sighed. At leas the wasn't in trouble, though, it wasn't like he was "out of trouble" a lot. It seemed his strong personality, what others called "chasing after frivolous dreams", got him into more trouble than he'd like (it wasn't like he tried to get in trouble, he just wanted to help out and be recognized).

Nonetheless, the tom found himself nodding along to Slyclaw's statement, agreeing even though he didn't really have a choice. That was okay though, he could just use this as another event to prove himself to his clan! Rejuvenated with new found energy, Russetpaw quickly shredded what was left of the toad, eagerly licking the residual tidbits of stale blood and dry skin (again, it was an acquired taste!) as Slyclaw pulled herself up after her last statement. "Alright, Slyclaw. I think I will be with Flametail until then." Even though it seemed the she-cat had already began to amble away, Russetpaw still flicked his tail in farewell.

True to his word, the young apprentice turned his head around the camp, looking to again spot his mentor. It took a few moments, but luckily the ebony-colored tom had not left his spot. Bubbling with excitement, the young apprentice quickly bounded over with youthful eagerness. "Shadowfur, Shadowfur!" Russetpaw's eyes shown with glee, tail twitching out of control. Nearing his mentor, Russetpaw skidded to a stop in front of said cat. "Have you heard? Slyclaw is taking us out to investigate a new type of prey in the swamps! Do you have any idea what it is? Do you think it's dangerous?"

((I'm just going to assume Flametail is in the same place, LadyVader. If that doesn't sit well with you, just let me know, and I'll edit my post a bit. ^^ I just figured it'll kind of give you an easier transition into the plot. C: Changed mentor to Shadowfur, with Peeta's permission, as LadyVader seems to have vanished. ^^;))
