Redsplatter | Warrior | "Prophecy of Sarcasm" | Tagging: Lionstride, Needlestorm --> Twistflare, Wolfheart, Foxpaw, Lionstride, Needlestorm
Redsplatter noddded to Needlestorm when they mentioned that Twistflare ought to work harder to better herself rather than act in the way she had.
"Oh StarClan, I know!" She shook her head as she padded out of camp. "Honestly, if all of us acted like her - us being prophecy-less cats, I mean - we'd all get kicked out of the Clan collectively! Bad attitudes aren't going to get you very far in life... at least I know how to hide it, but being outwardly angry at everyone? Nuh-uh, you gotta repress that stuff." She said, waving her tail in the air to signify her relaxed nature, despite the circumstances. She did love to complain to others, after all.
"Like, geez, she goes out of her way to tell me that she won't help me if I get attacked - in front of her own apprentice! What kind of mentor is that? Irresponsible, that's what. I'm surprised she became a warrior at all, honestly, since she acts like such a kit." Redsplatter rolled her eyes and kept walking forward, occasionally sniffing to pick up the scent trail that might lead to the warrior they were tasked with dragging back to camp.
On one such sniff, she stopped. Was that a blood scent she was picking up? Her nose twitched and she became very alert, her ears flicking from one side to the other. Her fur began to raise.
"Look alive - there's fresh fox scent near... blood too. Follow me, but prepare yourself for the worst. Claws out, everyone." She mewed to the pair with her and then she stalked forward, eyes scanning the area around her. She proceeded cautiously, following the bloodscent, only to discover no foxes, but Twistflare, Wolfheart and Foxpaw standing together. Raising her head from the bracken she'd crouched around, she sighed her mild relief.
"Oh thank StarClan," She recited. "Twistflare, where have you been? Miragestar sent me out to look for you, she wants to see you as soon as we get back to camp." She mewed to the she-cat. "And... Wolfheart, you're hurt! Foxpaw, are you hurt too?" She scanned the bushes for the fox, wondering if it still lurked nearby. Her claws dug into the ground under her paws. "Let's get you all back to camp, quick as we can." She instructed, taking charge - bossing cats around came naturally to Redsplatter.
"Needlestorm, can you take the lead back to camp?" She asked the fellow warrior. "Lionstride and I will take the rear and make sure no cat gets left behind." She glanced at Twistflare - surely she wouldn't try to avoid returning to camp now? She looked a little worse for wear herself. "Okay, let's head out! You can give the full story to Miragestar. About everything that happened."
