Ivyrose

Ivyrose got to her paws, her fluffy tail slightly swaying. Her yellow-green eyes were locked on the High Rock. Ivyrose's gaze swept the crowd of cats, picking out the ones who would be on her patrol before looking back up at Ravenstar. She waited.

Maplepaw

Maplepaw felt slightly relieved she had not been put into one of the two patrols. She had chosen a spot on the very edge of the crowd of cats. She kept her tail curled over her paws, waiting for Ravenstar to call off the clan meeting.

"Everyone is dismissed." Ravenstar ended curtly. He leaped down from the highrock while the patrols gathered and the rest of the camp proceed with their morning activities.

Ravenstar a muffled cough- the leader was was slightly ill, probably nothing to worry about, but he didn't want to worry the clan. Death via illness was common in Birchclan, and rumors of an outbreak would cause much distress. He made a mental note to make some time to by the medicine cat's den today.

Ivyrose

Ivyrose waited at the entrance for the rest of her patrol to join her.

Maplepaw

Maplepaw's ears flattened, but she didn't say a word. She kept where she was for a few more heartbeats before padding off. She had decided to go the Elder's Den to see if she could help out there.

The calico sighed a sigh of both relief and disappointment. She had hoped she would be chosen to go hunting, or patrolling, but also felt like it'd be better to just hold off for a while. She padded over to the queens den, seeing if the queen needed any help.

Blackfur's head bobbed rhythmically as she groomed her dark pelt, removing the last scraps of moss from her fur. She'd been one of the first to rise, as she usually was, and saw her father exit his den and seat himself atop the highrock, overseeing his Clan from his vantage point as he seemed to enjoy doing. As he called together a meeting, and listed off the day's patrols, Blackfur's whiskers twitched as she noticed she wasn't scheduled yet. Maybe she'd take Leopardpaw hunting. In the meantime, she got to her paws and padded over to Ravenstar as he leaped down from the highrock; he'd been slightly under the weather lately, unbeknownst to most of the Clan, but Blackfur knew him well enough to sense something was up. "How are you feeling today?" she meowed, in a voice low enough not to carry.

Icestorm's ears pricked as Ravenstar called together a Clan meeting, giving a short list of who was on what patrol, and when he heard his name called for a hunting patrol he padded over to Briarheart to wait for the others to join them, mewing a greeting to her. He saw Tawnypaw padding sluggishly over, not unusual for her this early in the morning. "Buck up, young Tawnypaw. The squirrels will be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and so should you." The apprentice gave him an insolent look for a heartbeat but dipped her head and gave herself a shake. Icestorm sat, curling his white tail over his paws.

Tawnypaw's eyes itched with the want for more sleep, but even she knew better than to sleep through the Clan leader's summons. She'd been put on a hunting patrol with her mentor Weaselpelt, Briarheart, Icestorm, and Aspenwing, and as she was thinking to herself that she'd rather be out doing something useful like battle training with her mentor, her stomach growled, and she admitted privately to herself that maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to hunt after all.

Busy wolfing down a scrawny starling left on the pile, Russetpaw barely heard his name being called for a border patrol. He didn't move or acknowledge the fact that he'd been called until he was done eating, and by that time most of the cats had already started to gather together to set out on patrol. He padded over to his mentor, Falconclaw, tail raised confidently. "Are we patrolling the whole border?" he asked, flicking his tail-tip.

[Manticat]

Ivyrose

Ivyrose flicked her tail. "We should start heading out. If we go now, we may be able to make it all the way around." Ivyrose glanced at each of the cats.

Maplepaw

Maplepaw hesitated outside the Elder's Den. She quickly ducked her head just inside the den to see if any of the Elder's were still in the den.

Sorreltail/30 moons/She-cat/Tags: Owlpaw

Sorreltail was a bit disappointed at first to hear that she wasn't chosen for any of the patrols. She decided to use this time to train her apprentice, Owlpaw, instead. Sorreltail swept her gaze over the clearing to locate him. Once she found him, she padded over and called out to him.

Tom • Tags: Ravenstar and camp • Where: High rock

Walking out of the warrior den, a yawn was released from his muzzle. Weaselfur headed to the High rock where Ravenstar was standing. Sitting back, he ran his tongue over the short fur on his chest. Once the leader called for the camp, his gaze moved up to his leader. Hearing the hunting patrol, his ear flicked.

• Ripplepaw •
She-cat • Tags: Ravenstar, Dawnflower, and the rest of camp • Where: High rock

With a yawn, Ripplepaw padded out of the den. Following the rest of the clan to the High rock. Sitting down next to her mentor, her attention was on the leader. Ravenstar listed the hunting patrol along with the Dawn patrol. Her gaze wondered over to the two apprentices who were chosen. Tawnypaw was going with Weaselfur on the hunting patrol. Looking over at Weaselfur he looked the same as always. Grumpy.

Ravenstar flicked his ears towards his daughter. The she always had a tendency to be quite intuitive, and could usually sense whether something was wrong with him.

"Well enough," he replied raspily. "Be mindful not to tell anyone, but I'm feeling a bit under the weather. You best not stay too close to me. I'm praying that the rest of the clan doesn't also catch ill." The clan had a history of cold new-leafs, and because of this short periods of famine and wide-spread illness weren't rare.

"How about you?" he asked in return. As a kit, Blackfur didn't often get sick- an immunity which certainly didn't originate from her father.

Pansyfrost's ears perked up as she heard a rustling outside of the den. Maplepaw's amber head head hesitantly poked in. Pansyfrost greeted the apprentice with a slight nod of the head and a weary look.

"It's about time somebody came in to bring me some food," she said grouchily. "What've you got?"

The small she-cat flicked her tail, not entirely satisfied with her father's answer considering his voice was sounding hoarse, but she said nothing; he was smart enough to visit the medicine cat on his own, and she didn't need to coddle him like a queen over her kit. Besides, even though he was her father, he was also Clan leader and it wouldn't do to boss him. She didn't heed his warning about keeping back, though. "Well enough," she echoed in response to his question of her own health, which was true, but Ravenstar likely knew that she, along with the rest of the Clan, were suffering from the prolonged cold weather; she could see the ribs on all her Clanmates, including her own. "Praying every day that StarClan sends warmer weather so that the prey starts running again."
