- CROWWING!

xxThe tom stood at the deputy's motion, flicking an ear before he walked closer to Silverstorm in order to hear her announcement for patrols. He gave a huff of satisfaction when he was announced for a hunting patrol. Good, I'm more suited for hunting, he thought, flicking his tail in acknowledgment. Plus, Softpaw could use a bit more work in that area. He didn't remember the last time he took his apprentice out hunting; it's mostly been battling as of late.
xxSpeaking of, Crowwing realized he had yet to see his apprentice this morning. He had seen Spiderpaw talking to one of the elders a bit earlier, but he didn't remember if he saw Cloudwatcher around the camp, either. The tom turned as soon as Silverstorm had finished speaking, and he made his way back toward the warriors' den. Waiting a bit for the rest of the patrol shouldn't hurt hunting too much - the morning was still a bit chilly, so maybe more prey would make themselves available closer to the afternoon. Poking his head into the cave, he called out, "Cloudwatcher? Are you in here?" softly before his eyes adjusted to the dimmer setting.

xxMintpaw sniffed the air inside the den again and shrugged, catching some of the sweeter scents that rivaled the bitter tang of some of the other herbs. Okay, so maybe the herbs aren't all bad, she mused internally. Brushing the thought aside, she giggled at Palepaw's suggestion. Her paws prickled when Palepaw's ginger cost just barely brushed her own, and Mintpaw swallowed harshly before she managed to wriggle out of the entrance. Mintpaw recovered with a bounce and followed the other apprentice who led her to Ivystar and Spiritstep.
xxHer pelt prickled a bit in anxiety, standing before two of the most highly respected cats in the clan - she didn't have this opportunity often - but she pushed herself forward, falling in next to Palepaw, and grinned up at the two cats. Mintpaw's ears flicked back as the caught the end of Silverstorm's announcement; it didn't seem like she was called for anything specific, it seemed. "Please?" she asked. Her mentor may have other plans, though. "I'll make sure it's okay with Badgerfoot," she added, tail swishing behind her. It would be a nice change of pace to help the medicine cats. "I have a great nose - I'll be able to smell those dock leaves from a mile away!" Mintpaw twitched her nose in effect and looked expectantly up at the two cats.
- SPIDERPAW!

xx"Ah - thank you," she started, purring at the elder. Spiderpaw bent her head forward, taking a bite out of the vole. She then nosed it forward an inch or two closer to Robinfrost. While still chewing, Spiderpaw began nodding slowly at the elder, and ended up grinning up at her before swallowing the bite of vole. "I'd love to hear a story later!" she purred in response, swiping her tongue over her lips. She then changed directions, moving closer to Robinfrost in order to hear the deputy speak.
xxSpiderpaw's tailtip twitched when she heard her name called for a hunting patrol along with her mentor, her father, and Softpaw. "Hunting," she repeated, mostly to herself. Spiderpaw dipped her head to seize another small bite of the prey and then rose to her feet. She caught the grey tabby pelt of her father stalking across the camp towards the warriors' den and gave her chest fur a couple of licks before addressing Robinfrost again: "I'll bring back a juicy mouse for you!" Her whiskers twitched in amusement before she took a few steps toward the entrance.
xx"I should probably go and wait for Crowwing - he'll be looking for me in a minute, I bet." Spiderpaw then craned her neck to smile up at Robinfrost again. "I can't wait for that story, though!" she beamed, and began trotting toward the entrance of the camp to wait for the rest of the patrol.
