FEEL IT STILL THOU \ OPEN + RIVERCLAN PATROL

"Adjusting to RiverClan life well?" Komodo asked the black and white feline as she moves to stand by her side. Ko hadn't been the most friendliest when they met, but... it was with reason. She grew suspscious when cats decided to find a group when the weather got harsh, she always couldn't help but wonder did they truly want to join? Or were they simply using RiverClan as a shelter before vanishing once the storm was over? But Misty had ties here to Tempestwing and seemed to be here because of her. So... why would she leave?

Anything was possible, but it was unlikely, so Komodo decided not to worry about it. "When I first joined it was a bit overwhelming... but I've never regret it. I love this place."

It seems a lot had been on Crimsoncry's mind, almost to the point where he wondered off away from his own patrol. Luckily she had spotted this and quickly followed after him before the scent of Riverclan caught to her nose and she slipped to stand next to her mate and dipped her head in greetings to the two Riverclanners. Crimsobcry was already on it with discussing how the clan was doing so she silently stayed back and allowed him to talk to the group of cats.

"Im a fool"

"Its frightening at first with all the new faces, but I assure you it'll be fine." Komodofire meows as she attempts to place the tip of her tail against the others shoulder in reassurance. "No one expects you to know everyone yet either, you just got here. But if you ever need any help with getting yourself out there let me know. I'd be more than happy to introduce you to a few of my own friends." Not that she had many... mostly apprentice aged ironically. A small chuckle to herself escapes her lips before she turns to look at the ThunderClanner's as they approach with a twitch of her whiskers.

"Yeah, we're fine. The snow actually hasn't dragged us down one bit so far." For the most part. She boasts a bit with a proud puff of her chest, "I hope ThunderClan can say the same though. Its been getting colder with each day that passes so I just hope we can keep it up." As the molly approaches she glances to her and gives her a nod in greetings before her yellow gaze is turned back onto the tom.

Shellpaw had tagged along on her mentor's patrol, remaining silent for the most part. She didn't know his mate, Featherlight, all too well, so she felt uncomfortable speaking up too much as they traversed the frozen land. Lost in her own thoughts, the apprentice continued to wander as Crimsoncry meandered off in his own direction, but luckily, she was able to follow Featherlight to his location. Pursing her lips, she almost cast the tom a snarky comment before spotting the RiverClanners. Ope, better keep her mouth shut. The last thing she needed was another scolding for being too mouthy.

“Thunderclan has been fairing well also.” the ginger deputy would say as she trotted towards the patrol along the border. She would dip her head in greeting to Crimsoncry, Featherlight, and her daughter before diverting her attention to the two mollies across the river. “Of course, it helps when the forest hasn’t been burned down again.” she couldn’t help but throw out that comment. Bloodclan had disrupted their peace for the last time. She couldn’t wait to sink her claws into whoever captured her son.

More cats would be swift to appear and she glances over to Mistytail, she supposed she probably didn't recognize many of them eh? Well neither did Komodofire but she knew for sure she had seen Crimsoncry on a patrol before... maybe the others but her memory failed her. Looking away from the newcomer she is just in time to see Shellpaw arrive at the scene shortly followed by Flameseeker. An ear flicked at her words, well she was glad to hear ThunderClan was doing alright this leaf-bare, without stealing from RiverClan. She couldn't help but think of it every time she seen one of them, but... she was over it. For the most part really.

But then- she makes a comment about BloodClan.

Was ThunderClan having troubles with them as well? Or did Flameseeker like Komodofire find it hard to not let go of the past. Not that it was something that should be let go off, Flameseeker still had the right to be aggravated with them. She had the right to be aggravated with them for as long as she lived, everyone by now did. "Yeah... that probably does make life a lot easier."

She meows with a flick of her tail, "Has ThunderClan been having problems with BloodClan again recently?"

If so, that means they've been consistently making problems for three clans recently... ThunderClan, RiverClan, SkyClan...

"They took an apprentice from us. Six moons old. Apparently they stole a child from SkyClan and used the poor thing as a bargaining chip. Surely their not playing games with three of us at the same time..." And if so, they've made a mistake. Not that any of this was her business to be telling either, especially SkyClan's. But the words just flew out of her mouth.

Shellpaw listened in as the adults spoke, her ears flicking idly. The stuff that the RiverClanner was saying seemed terrifying.BloodClan was stealing even more kits and apprentices from the nearby clans? She swallowed hard, subconsciously shuffling closer to Flameseeker and Crimsoncry. She couldn't imagine the fear that was experienced after being taken by such murderous beings. The thought sent shivers down her spine and her tail fluffed out, expressing her terror. Giving her head a shake, the apprentice looked up as her mentor gave his permission for her to introduce herself and she flexed her claws a bit excitedly. Turning her youthful hazel eyes onto the RiverClan patrol, she offered a confident yet friendly smirk. "My name's Shellpaw. I'm Crimsoncry's apprentice!"

So Bloodclan was harassing Riverclan and Skyclan as well? The deputy would slowly shake her head in disgust, sending a silent prayer to Starclan that the other clan's members would be returned unharmed. Though, the chances of that actually happening were slim to nothing, she could at least hope it could happen. "I'll never understand how they can live with themselves with so much dishonor." Was all she would say. Riverclan did not have any business knowing about Asphodelpaw being captured, as well as the murders that had been left along their borders. They'll pay for what they have done.

Her forest hued gaze then shifted to the other Riverclan warrior, Mistytail. The scarred tabby would dip her head in greeting, and she would be the next to introduce herself. "My name is Flameseeker, the deputy here." Mistytail's question caught her by surprise, and her gaze would sparkle curiously. Cyclonebluster had another sister? "He does, though I believe he is in the camp right now. I am his mate, it is nice to meet you."
