Tansypetal was still a bit vary as they passed the place where the patrol had battled the badger the day before. Its scent still permeated the air, and around her she saw the others’ hackles rise slightly as they, too, looked around them uncomfortably. The predator’s trail was stale, though, and it seemed like it really had left for good. Tansypetal narrowed her eyes. It wouldn’t dare showing itself again anytime soon, that was for sure.
“Squirrel,” Blossomfleck hissed somewhere behind here and vanished between some herbs. The new arrival was right, Tansypetal realized as she smelled carefully. Beneath the stink of the badger and the earthy smell of the forest itself there was the faint, but fresh scent of a squirrel that she wouldn’t have noticed if Blossomfleck hadn’t mentioned it. She seemed to be a good huntress, too, for only moments later the she-cat reappeared with the rodent hanging from her jaws.

“Well done,” Tansypetal purred, and Blossomfleck smiled. “I’m glad I can be of use to my new clan.”
The five of them continued on, but Tansypetal herself was too distracted to be of much use. She was too busy talking to Thrushslip and “accidentally” brushing her fur against his, enjoying how he blushed and fumbled his words when they touched. Leafpaw shot a look back at her, rolling her eyes, but Tansypetal only laughed.
Her apprentice seemed to decide that, contrary to her mentor, she would use her time usefully and vanished into the woods as the rest of them continued on their paths, and emerged not long later with a mouse held limply between her teeth.
[+1 Mouse, +2 FP, +2 XP]
The five of them continued on a little while longer, but while Poppypaw managed to retrieve some scraps between a gnarled old tree’s roots, they didn’t find any herbs.

“All right, let’s head back,” Tansypetal called out when they had been walking for a while. They had caught quite some prey and she was very happy with how the patrol had gone. Also, she looked forward to spending some quality time with her new mate, and so she had to suppress rolling her eyes when Blossomfleck called out for her. “There’s someone nearby!”
“Lead the way,” Tansypetal meowed, keeping the sigh out of her voice.
As they came closer, she, too, noticed the cat’s scent. There definitely was someone here. Her heart began to beat faster. Was it a friend, or an enemy?
“Who goes there?” she called out loudly.
