    Aiden took a deep breath in to steady his nerves. He knew that he had to prove himself to Aleksei and Kady, having offered to run this patrol. He padded close to camp, muscles tight and anxiety running high. Was the attacker of Adellum still around? The male wasn't certain; that was the point of the patrol, but he couldn't help but feel fear. He immediately felt foolish for his fear. What a coward he was! He was supposed to be strong for his Clan; yet, here he was, scared of confronting somebody who had murdered his Clan mate. Huffing to himself, he stood up a bit straighter and a look of determination crossed his face. "We're going to patrol the territory to make sure Adellum's murderer isn't still here. Also to see if we can gather any insight on her death. I need everybody to be very careful and report everything you find to me, Aleksei, or Kady. Keep together, or at least in pairs, and don't wander off alone. Let's go."

    A patrol, huh? Minerva had no clue who "Adellum" was, but apparently she had been murdered by an enemy. Unfortunate. "I suppose I'll tag along. Anything specific we should look for?" she inquired, her tone neutral as she looked towards Aiden. Perhaps she could secretly gather herbs, do Valaerya's dirty work. She had been the sole medic before--it was the least the kitsune could do.

    Baby — Female — Dear sweet darling — main

    The female rose gracefully to her paws, ears pricking with interest as a patrol was announced. She moved to the male who announced it, giving him a brief smile to say hi before adding in a soft voice, "I would like to join if that's possible."







    "Speech"

    Aiden didn't want Minerva joining them and he especially didn't want her kind of attitude on the patrol. A 'I suppose I'll go' sort of attitude as if a fucking Clan mate hadn't just been murdered. She didn't have any care of compassion for anybody it seemed and it frustrated the young canine. If he'd known her thoughts of stoppign to gather herbs, he'd have been even more pissed. "Just look for any signs of the murderer," he said coldly.


    Then Baby was asking to join. Aiden gave a sharp nod in her direction. She'd been there for the death and he was certain her attitude was better. "Keep together and be thorough, but safe."

    MInerva noted Aiden's cold demeanor--which seemed to be a lasting thing in terms of their relationship. Fine with her. She wasn't one to be concerned with what others thought of her. "Got it." the kitsune returned, her tone neutral before she looked to another stranger.

    'I suppose I'll tag along?' What kind of an attitude was that concerning the death of a Clanmate? Sundance had been caring and kind before she was murdered but it seemed that death had changed her. Perhaps this wasn't even Sundance, but an impostor? He had a hard time believing that the old Sundance would willfully abandon Aurelio for that long, without even a word, and would say such insensitive crap concerning a community she was invested in.


    The leader's hard look lingered on the kitsune for a second before turning towards Aiden. "Lead the way," he nodded.

    Aiden nodded his head, turning to pad into the territory. His tail was raised in a dominant position and he was stiff, hair raised. He was ready to fuck somebody up if they showed themselves. He crept along the edge of camp, sniffing and sniffing. But he didn't smell anything. He made sure to stay close to the others, though if Minerva and Baby wanted to stretch out, they could. He just wanted people to stick in pairs. "You guys see anything?" he called over his shoulder, his growing frustration apparent.

    “Maybe a bird’s eye view would help?” The teen spoke with her usual confidence as she couldn’t stand by and not at least attempt to help them with something. It was the least she could do even though she felt as if the search would bear no fruit. Even so the hybrid flared out her wings and with a heavy downstroke she jumped up into the sky. A few more beats of those feathered appendages and she was high above them, taking her time to actively look around and see what she could see. Though so far she saw nothing that would help them on their quest for the murder. It would do them well to have left the territory.

    Aurelio rolled his eyes at Minerva - it seems she had already made a fool of herself in front of their clanmates and so he ignored her, unwilling to speak to her. "I want to come. I'll tear that murdered to shreds if we see them." Aurelio growled, low in his throat. He watched as Valaerya took off, and joined the others. He hadn't had the heart to attend the vigil that had been held for Adellum. There had been so much death lately that he had laid in bed ill with the thought, but he was ready to find her murderer and avenge her.

    Great, now even Aleksei was displeased. "Hey, I have no clue who Adellum is. I haven't touched BlizzardClan since my death. You can't expect me to know everything. Feel free to educate me though if you feel...bothered." Her shoulders rolled forward nonchalantly. She wasn't the all-seeing mind of Agrelos. She didn't know what had happened in BlizzardClan since her death. Perhaps I'll stick around for a few more minutes...then I'll go off on my own. Minerva glanced around, up and down, hoping to find something.

    A brief narrowing of icy optics was the only sign Baby showed as the man nodded stiffly, acknowledging her presence. And then he and Minerva had griped about something, the tension between them clearly visible. Baby tried very hard not to smile, she did, but to no avail. She ran a pink tongue over her rubbery lips and followed them, flicking an ear to everyone that joined the patrol. The girl who jumped up a tree she completely ignored, not even glancing up.





    "Speech"





    Aiden gave a frustrated sigh and a glare at Minerva. She was more concerned with herself than what they were supposed to be doing. He wanted to yell at her, but he didn't have the time to deal with her piss-poor attitude. Instead, he gave a shrug of his shoulders back at her, letting his gaze roam over those gathered. "Let's just concentrate on the task at hand. I want somebody to stay here until Valaerya comes back, I don't her alone. I also want two people to start going off to the left and I and one more person will go the right. Stick with your buddy. Any volunteers for which position you wish to go?"


    Baby — Female — Dear sweet darling — main

    Baby rolled her eyes as Aiden began barking out orders at everyone, but spoke with a smile. "I'll go right if that's fine." Plus she could be alone with Aiden, maybe ask him some questions.



    /are they going to find the queen in this patrol?





    "Speech"





    OOC: Before I answer, what do you mean Queen? Adellum's body was already found, they are looking for the killer but it wasn't really anybody I don't think. So they wouldn't be found.

    OOC: They can scent the Exiles, since that was apparently the killer.


    Aiden nodded toward Baby. He glanced at Aleksei and Minerva, feeling bad for their leader but grateful that he didn't have to be stuck with her. "Alright, Minerva and Aleksei can go left. Meet back here in 15 minutes, okay?" With that he glanced at Baby, before turning and wandering off to the left.
