Campioncloud sat down and carefully wrapped her tail around her forepaws. She thought about the leaders question and shook her head. "I'd prefer to stay in camp for now, but if extra paws were needed I guess I could stir up the energy." She answered politely. She had never been much of a hunter or fighter. She was a talker. She enjoyed being in camp, sharing stories and creating art in peace. However, that was a bit hard to do seeing that as of late, Horoa had been watching all the clans with an intense, burning gaze. Maybe the lion god was looking out for something in particular? Sherlock, @and whoever else

Mistpaw of Riverclan Sprawled on top of her bed of moss in the apprentice den, the young molly might have slept for longer if the voices of her clanmates had not woken her up. Opening her eyes, worry surfaced as she realized that she was the only apprentice still in the den. Oh no. Had she overslept? But even if she had, she still felt tired. Working hard at her training in addition to lack of plenty water and food took its own toll on the growing apprentice, in its own ways. Jumping to her paws, Mistpaw could feel that the air around her was already hot. Everyone is bound to have noticed I overslept by now, she thought in dismay.
Giving her ruffled pelt a few licks to try and keep the unruly fur down, she stepped to the exit of the apprentice den and peered out. Over on one side she could see a group of cats conversing, including her recently appointed mentor and Kestrelstar. Should she go over and say hello? Or would that seem like she was seeking attention? Maybe she should wait until someone approached her first. Or would that seem anti-social? Taking a few hesitant steps out of the shady den and out into the heat, she made her way over to the group before stopping about four to five tail-lengths away. Lingering there, she listened.

Ryestorm sat and listened to the group converse about the patrol and other little things. No one addressed him directly, but he was fine with it. It wasn't like he was the talkative type. Not today, anyway. He thought. He was in an okay mood, but the tom was prone to jump from emotion to emotion. Clearing his throat, he looked up at warriors around him. "Well then, shall we get a move on?" A small smile on his face. He didn't want to rush anyone, but Horoa's eye beamed down harshly, making him very thirsty and hungry. Standing, his tail twitched, waiting. alchepalch, snootsandwhiskers, and Sherlock

Kestrelstar nodded at Ryestorm and got to his paws. "I'll be with you shortly," he said, waving his tail to indicate that the others should leave. He stepped away from the group and flicked his ears at Campioncloud in a 'come with me' fashion, then moved toward Mistpaw. The little apprentice didn't need to be awake during the day, and she was probably exhausted. He would see if she actually wanted to do anything, and if so, he had an idea of what he could have her and Campioncloud work on. Might as well catch two minnows in one strike, and if the pair of them wanted to go back to sleep, he would take care of it himself later. Bluebird, alchepalch, loveymymavi,

Campioncloud listened to the bustle around camp with perked ears a grin as she waited for a reply from Kestrelstar. Eventually, the tom called her over and she nodded, stepping towards the torbie feline.
"Yes?" She mewed smoothly. She sat down slowly and wrapped her thin tail around her paws once more. She waited for Kestrelstar's words. Sherlock,

"You and Mistpaw can both go back to sleep if you'd like," Kestrelstar said. "There's no reason for the pair of you to be up at this hour, and Mistpaw should probably get plenty of rest; a growing cat needs more food than she's gotten lately. If she wants to train, though," he added, knowing the trouble some cats had falling asleep, though that problem was rare in RiverClan, "I do have a task I could give you. Otherwise, I'll take care of it later. What do you say?" The tom watched Campioncloud as he spoke, but now he glanced toward Mistpaw; they were a few tail lengths away still, but he wondered if she was listening in. He certainly would have as an apprentice. If he was honest, he probably would even now. alchepalch, Bluebird,

Mistpaw of RiverClanEyes still fixed on the group near her, Mistpaw continued her little self debate in her head until she realized that Kestrelstar had broken off from the group. Campioncloud soon joined him, causing the the tip of her tail to start twitching as she became anxious. Her mentor and the leader were talking together. They wouldn't be talking about her, would they? The two of them were pretty close by, so perking up, she swiveled her ears to catch their conversation. It wasn't eaves dropping, they were conversing in the middle of the clearing. Anyone else would be able to hear them as well, right? It turned out that they were talking about her after all. ' Mistpaw should probably get plenty of rest; a growing cat needs more food than she's gotten lately.' Getting some more sleep would be nice, but she had to take in consideration the second part of what Kestrelstar said. 'If she wants to train, though, I do have a task I could give you.' Well, if there was something to be done, she should try and be as helpful as possible. Work as hard as possible. Kestrelstar surely had other things to attend to other than performing that task, though what it was she didn't know. Making up her mind to go over, she closed the gap between them until she was standing right by her mentor. Dipping her head to both of them, she mewed, "Uh, sorry? I thought I heard my name, do you need me?"alchepalch , Sherlock

Campioncloud listened to the leader and pondered on his query. she thought before speaking. "I think my apprentice and I will head back to sleep. The bustle in camp woke me up." She remembered.
Smiling, the cool she cat turned to her apprentice who had approached. "Morning, Mistpaw. Nothing is really needed so-" She turned back to Kestrelstar and sighed. "You know it, what is this task?" Sherlock,Bluebird,

Kestrelstar gave a soft purr as Mistpaw approached, and another when Campioncloud changed her mind. "I'd like you two to track down Wigeonpath for me," he said. "This weather will be good to practise tracking in, and I have something I need to discuss with her rather urgently, but I'm going on patrol. Could you find her and then bring her to me?" He directed the question more toward Mistpaw than Campioncloud, curious to know how confident she was. Naturally, Campioncloud could give her whatever help she needed, but he would be interested to hear how she did later. The Clan needed trackers right now, and there weren't many very good ones here. No need to track your food by scent when it's always in the same spot. alchepalch, Bluebird,

Campioncloud was quite surprised with the leaders task. She sure hadn't been on one in her life and it would be interesting to coach her apprentice through it. She imagined turning the anxious apprentice into a skilled tracker and smiled.
"Alright Kestrelstar." She meowed with a quick nod and turned looked down towards her apprentice. She lead her towards the entrance before speaking. "You heard him. We- You're gonna find the deputy on this important leader mission." She tried to sound as encouraging as possible. She actually was excited for this. Sherlock, Bluebird,

Mistpaw of RiverClanSo, the task would be to track down the deputy so that Kestrelstar could discuss something urgent with her. That did sound important! Her face seemed to light up for a moment as she realized that Kestrelstar's words had been mostly directed towards her, before it fell once more. The mission, as her leader had called it, was urgent. It was important. What if she failed it and messed up? Campioncloud would be disappointed, and Kestrelstar would be too. Not to mention that her parents would be disappointed too. But she had to try. Keep trying. If she didn't succeed this time, she would just have to deal with their disappointment and work harder at tracking. "I'll try my best, Kestrelstar," she said seriously, before following her mentor to the camp entrance. Listening to her speak, Mistpaw tried to shake off the haze of tiredness that still surrounded her. She needed to be wide awake for this job. Before replying to her mentor, she tried to pull up Wigeonpath's scent from her memory. "So... do we start?"alchepalch , Sherlock

Kestrelstar gave Mistpaw a reassuring tap with his tail as he passed her and Campioncloud, then broke into a quick trot as soon as he'd left camp. It shouldn't take long to find his patrol; the dry weather made tracking easier than usual. That was one bright side to the drought, he supposed. Once at the river, he approached Gingerpaw. "What would you like to start with?" he asked kindly.

Campioncloud cast a kind look down at Mistpaw and nodded. "Yeah, we shall start. But first, take a few deep breaths. If you can't find Wigeonpath, you'll still be a great apprentice, I promise." She mewed coolly. She knew that the silver she cat wasn't new to anxiety, and her parents didn't exactly help her mental health.
With that, she raised herself and began to head towards the entrance. "Do you know her scent?" She questioned. She figured that if Mistpaw didn't, they could go get a whiff of her bedding. Bluebird,

Mistpaw of RiverClanDoing just as her mentor instructed, the apprentice took some deep breaths of the warm, dry, air. It helped to calm her down a bit, as did Campioncloud's assurance, but it could still be seen from the way that she carried herself that she was still nervous. Fixing her mind upon the scent that she was almost entirely sure was Wigeonpath's, Mistpaw nodded and followed her mentor to the camp entrance. "I think I do."Now at the entrance, Mistpaw stopped. The scents of multiple clan cats mixed with one another here, for many cats passed this way everyday. Not wanting to keep her mentor waiting, Mistpaw tilted her head this way and that as she struggled to single out Wigeonpath's scent. There were a few scents of her clanmates that seemed fresher and stronger, probably from earlier that morning. Opening her mouth to help, it took her a while longer before she thought that she had caught on to the deputy's scent. But what if she started off following the scent, just to have her mentor tell her that she had mixed it up with another cat's? Turning back to face her mentor, she stood there for a few moments before she opened her mouth. Then closed it again as she summoned the courage to risk being wrong. Then opened it once more, and spoke. "I think I found her scent here to follow... if it really is Wigeonpath's."alchepalch

Lightningpaw returned to camp, his dream worrying him. Was it about the past? Or the future? Hazelleaf should have received that dream, not me. But she was gone, and her apprentice without a mentor. He turned around to check if his mentor was still following him. purerubydragon
