The bloody bird wings Longstripe had brought him this morning had been the last straw. It hadn't broke the camel's back, just infuriated it, the TreeClan leader's amber eyes filled with a righteous anger. How dare NightClan steal TreeClan prey! Yes this was a difficult Leafbare so far, but that did not excuse the fact that they were still committing a crime. Fur ruffled to protect himself from the chilly winds that blew every which way, Lionstar surveyed the camp as he did every morning, already going through a list of able-bodied cats he could send on patrol.
I'll send Firecrystal, Lionsong, and Mountainpaw.
Catching the eye of Longstripe and Mintleaf, he hailed the siblings over, the two looking especially thin and especially cold in this weather and prey shortage. But their eyes were as bright with life as they always were.
"Yes Lionstar?" mewed the ginger tom, shaking snowflakes off his whiskers.
"I'd like you and Mintleaf to round up a few cats for a hunting party - if you see Firecrystal, Lionsong and Mountainpaw, tell them I want to see them." mewed Lionstar, his eyes on his old friend. Longstripe dipped his head in a sign that he had heard and would obey. "Sure thing - but do you really want those two together? I heard they can each be pretty hot tempered." Lionstar's pelt prickled around his shoulders, but then he forced himself to relax. Longstripe wasn't trying to overstep his boundaries, he was simply trying to make things run as smoothly for the Clan as possible.
Lionstar smiled. "I think they can handle a border patrol. Oh, if you see Noblepaw, be sure to bring him along for the hunting party." Can't have him going stir-crazy. He knew the young tom was already in a pretty foul mood, and he hoped that getting the chance to hunt for the Clan would help him clear his head a little.

Mountainpaw was doing what he normally did when he wasn’t being trained by his mentor; he was silently becoming a more ethereal being to the clan. Never before had a cat been so out of the way, he worked hard at fading away into the daily clan life that thrived around him. Mundane clan life was his camouflage, or at least it would have been if some cat wasn’t looking for him. “Mountainpaw, Lionstar wants to see you.” The young apprentice looked up rather surprised, he had never before been called out by the leader specifically.
It was unnerving, not only was he not going to just fade away for the day, he was going to be meeting with the leader of his clan. That was the opposite of what he was going for, but he still nodded and quickly walked up to Lionstar asking “You wanted to see me?” He repeated the exact phrase that was thrown at him earlier.

She looked a the tom and waited for him to speak. "Lionstar wants you." She make a curt nod then and she groomed her fur back into place before she got up. Longstripe must be checking to make sure I go. She felt his gaze upon her still and she flicked her tail irritated. Just because I am the youngest Warrior does not mean I need to be watched to make sure I obey!
Her fury flashed in her eyes before she calmed herself down. She still had a bit of a limp, but Spottedfeather said that she was fine for duties. It had only been a few days since she and Lionstar chased off the fox. Firecrystal was missing some fur from her pelt, and she had nice bite marks on her front leg, but she managed without a sound.
When she got close to Lionstar, she saw that Mountainpaw was talking to him as well. Must be a patrol. Her thoughts ran as she approached. She dipped her head when she reached Lionstar. "I was told you wanted me?" She raised her head and took her weight off of her leg so that it was fine for the patrol.
She looked at Mountainpaw and nodded to him. "Hello Mountainpaw." She said kindly to the apprentice. Firecrystal loved to be around kits and apprentices, they were fun to play with and to practice her moves with, and she teaches them as long as their mentors or mothers do not mind. | | [STYLE=background-color: #4C3352; width: 400px; line-height: 14px; font-family: Corbel; font-size: 9px; text-transform: lowercase;] 21 moons ;;; she-cat ;;; [/style]

The golden tom nodded to the small brown apprentice, his eyes lifting to spy the ginger she-cat Firecrystal making her way over to them. He noticed the slight limp in her step, and could easily recall the incident with the fox that had caused it. "Yes, I would like for you two to go on a border patrol - Lionsong is supposed to go with you, though if you can't find her, feel free to take anyone with you." Though his tone remained ever calm, he hit on a serious note as his thoughts turned to NightClan and their thievery.
"When you reach the NightClan border, renew as many scent markings as you can - I want you to make it crystal clear that TreeClan's territory line is in the same place it's always been."
With Firecrystal being the elder of the two cats in front of him, he was going to leave her in charge of the border patrol. "If you run into any NightClan cats - if their numbers are fewer than 4, you have my permission to chase them off our land. However, if you're outmatched, don't do anything reckless. I'd rather have warriors who live to fight another day than ones who died foolishly."
This wasn't meant to antagonize Firecrystal's hot temper or junior warrior status, nor make Mountainpaw feel incapable of handling an attack. It was a leader's cautionary words, his concern for them like that of a father for his offspring who have long since left the nest, his ever watchful gaze a comfort rather than a hassle.

Mountainpaw was soon greeted by the she-cat Firecrystal, and it was apparent the young warrior was to be part of the patrol as well. The brown fluffy apprentice dipped his head very respectfully to his superior as he offered his greeting, “Hello Firecrystal.” He said in a polite tone, falling silent afterwards.
A rare bit of personality showed through Mountainpaws’ façade at that point, he was usually so quiet and reserved but the orders from his leader provoked not only thought, but comment; a quick witty comment that he couldn’t help but to smile after, “Two on four? I like those odds.” He joked gently as he looked up to make eye contact with his leader. He wasn’t even sure if the older cats would appreciate the humor, but he found the idea rather absurd. There was no way the two of them could take on four nightclan cats; they would be ripped to shreds. “Is there anyone else we can take?” He asked hoping the leader would find someone just in case there was trouble, better safe then very… very sorry.

She looked around when Lionstar mentioned Lionsong, she knew that she was not the only hot-tempered cat around, and Lionstar wanted to put her with Lionsong. This is going to be fun. She looked down at Mountainpaw then and she smiles lightly. She loved begin around cats younger than her, it made her feel like she could actually do something around the clan more than hunt and fight.
She let her thoughts trail and she listened back on Lionstar. She nodded her head in understanding to her leader. No fighting unless necessary. Yes Lionstar. She knew that Lionstar was not trying to set her off, and she knew that. She licked her injured leg then and she looked down at Mountainpaw. Well, I think if you can go find another apprentice and their mentor, then we can go like that. If that is okay with Lionstar as well of course.
She added the last part. Lionstar may have put her in charge of the patrol, but she was not going to override him with him standing right there, well, she was not going to override him at all. She looked around the camp once more before she waited for Lionstar to either chase down Lionsong himself, or grab other cats.

She hated being late and it only gave cats to question if she was being a true warrior unlike her more adventurous sister. Those whispers would prove to haunt the she-cat no matter how far she climbed, flicking her tail she exited the warrior's den where she was checking on her sister who went to be early with a tummy ache cause by eating some kind of herb in a large amount.
Lionsong tired her best to ignore her sister's failure as a warrior but tire to thing of the positive things she brought, like her prize fresh-kill catches, when ever she made them that is. She quickly crossed the distances from the warrior's den to where Lionstar. Firecrystal and Mountainpaw gathered, she heard the faint statement of Lionstar saying they were to patrol NightClan's border. Her fur itched for the possibility of a battle but she kept herself in check. "I'm sorry I'm late." She said quickly, nodding her head to Lionstar a sigh of respect for the leader tom. She waited for Firecrystal to take the lead, she remained standing her tail flicking in excitement.

The apprentice's light joke had not fallen on deaf ears, and Lionstar managed to crack a small amused smile, though he payed more attention to the question Mountainpaw proposed than the tom's humorous words. It wasn't that he didn't like jokes, on the contrary, he did, he just had a few more pressing concerns preventing his funny bone from being tickled too much. "That would be fine, another apprentice or apprentice and mentor pair to accompany you. The more cats out hunting, the better." The sight of Lionsong arriving mid sentence had Lionstar flicking the tip of his tail in her direction in quiet acknowledgment.
"Be careful, and may StarClan light your path." Mewing with dismissive authority, Lionstar met the many-hued eyes of the Clanmates in front of him, and he was pleased at the assembled hunting party, all three of them were highly capable. He didn't doubt they'd find some equally as talented cats to take with them before they left. Leaving Firecrystal in charge should hopefully prove to be a big success.
If he could trust one of TreeClan's youngest warriors with the responsibility of leading, then Lionstar could confidently say that TreeClan was in pretty good shape.

Mountainpaw quietly digested his leader’s words, and was rather pleased to know that he had pushed for change in his own way and it had worked. He found it rather comforting to know that he, even as an apprentice could express his feelings and be listened to by his much more senior leader. When Violetclaw suggested bringing another warrior and apprentice Mountainpaw started looking around camp, searching for any warrior and apprentice combos that looked like they weren’t busy at all. That turned up a big dud at a glance, so he started looking for any straggling cat that was alone. Yet again he found nothing, -Oh wait, there’s Lionsong- The young apprentice thought as she showed up out of nowhere. He gave her a curt nod being respectful to the seasoned warrior. With all three of them they would all be fine if something went down at the Nightclan border.

Her ears lficked toward Lionsong when she showed up. She kept all comment in her head. She was not going to cause a fight already. She heard Lionstar then and she dips her head. Thank you Lionstar, we will be back safe and sound. She looked down at Mountainpaw then to Lionsong and flicked her tail signaling it was time to go. She turned toward the camp entrance and she walked out. All she needed to do now was not get into a fight with a clan member and she should be fine.
The ginger she-cat walked on and veered toward the NightClan borders. NightClan scent hit her, and she was not even at the border yet. It was stale, a few days old, but still on TreeClan lands. She looked at Lionsong and Mountainpaw to make sure that they were still with her and she walked to the border than. She stopped at the beginning of the border and looked at them. Well they have already been across a few days ago. Lets renew the scent markers then report back to Lionstar.
She would like to hunt on the way back, but this was important and Lionstar needed to know it. She started to walk the borders once more.

The reek of NightClan burrowed into her nose and nearly made her snarl, but she kept herself in check, eyeing the NightClan side of the border, that thought of raiding NightClan camp to see how many cats she could handle, but she forced the idea out of her mind. Leaf-bare was not a time to star wars, even if it was well deserved.
Flicking her tail she nodded in understanding to Firecrystal and went on her of making the borders, rubbing her scent on every solid surface, she wasn't going to allow NightClan the chance to say they didn't know where the border was.
Pausing she flicked her tail and ears, trying to hear better, straining her ear. "Firecrystal, why do you think NightClan is so stupid to steal from us?" She asked out load, watching the depths of NightClan from her spot.

Mountainpaw didn’t say a word as Firecrystal gave the order for the patrol to file out of camp, and silently he followed the she-cats through the entrance into the forest beyond. The brisk air had frozen everything in the forest, frost adorning most everything that wasn’t covered with a blanket of snow. Montainpaw was nearly in aw that the cold seemed to have a sound, it was like the absence of sound in the silent forest made a sound in itself. Cold. A bit lost in his thoughts it didn’t take long before the patrol was at the border they shared with nightclan, and he too could smell the scent they had left earlier. It was stale and harder to pick up because of the freezing air but it was there. After Lionsongs' comment Mountainpaw spoke for the first time since before leaving camp, “Apparently.” Was all he said in a quite tone.

She fixed her ears on her clan mates when they spoke and she let out a small purr of laughter at Mountainpaw's response. She flicked her tail and walked again. The next question came to her and she looked back at the other She-cat and she gave a small shrug. "Honestly, I think it is because they are wanting to cause a battle, one that they will lose no doubt. But for now, let us just hope that they are not stupid enough to be hunting now." She faced forward again and picked up her pace a bit. She kept her mental notes and she stopped when she caught fresh NightClan scents. She hissed then and looked around. "They were just here." Her eyes looked around for any sign of a cat near them now, but there was not.
She looked at Mountainpaw. "How old do you think this marker is?" To the she-cat, it was fresh, as in only a while ago, but they were not around anymore. She watched the area as she waited for Mountainpaws answer. She may not be his mentor, but she was going to be sure that he got training even without a mentor near by.

Keeping to herself beside Firecrystal, Lionsong remained silent flicking her tail in an effort to do something.
While her nose flared something caught her attention and she turned to see what is was, there across the border were a pair of bright amber eyes. Flicking her tail on Firecrystal's shoulder she used her tail to point out the eyes, unsure if it was a cat waiting to attack or simply watching. "We have company." Lionsong said softly, her words just above a whisper. [style=float: left; background-color: wheat; height: 10px; width: 30px; margin: 1 4 0 0;] Your word count goes here.

As Lionsong pointed out the other cat that had graced them with its presence Mountainpaw turned to look in the direction of the unwanted company. Flicking his tail rather annoyed that he hadn’t noticed the cat before he chided himself for relaxing on the border patrol, he should have never let his guard down so close to the enemy clans borders. He then replied to the she-cat, “I see them.” In a soft voice to let her know there were an extra set of eyes on their company, he couldn’t tell which clan the cat affiliated itself with from here though. “That is a Nightclan cat right?” He asked not able to pick up a scent or any other distinctive feature that would give away the cats origins. He tensed up slightly as he took a few steps away from his patrol to make a little space so they would have room to fight if the border patrol turned into a full battle over a border dispute.
