Boulderstar nodded in agreement when her deputy Amberleaf suggested Brimpelt and Snowthorn could go on patrol. The clan leader made a quick go-through in her mind. Brimpelt and Snowthorn on patrol. Aspenclaw and Vinetail on patrol. Amberleaf, Screefoot and the apprentices Harepaw and Pearpaw on patrol on the western border with a hunting trip on their way back.

With a look around the camp she made sure the kits were fine. She saw the queen Ravenfeather nervously stepping out of her den. Note to self: Check on Ravenfeather.

Further on Boulderstar checked if they had enough warriors to defend the clan if something would happen during the patroling of the others. Ravennose, Brookshadow, Nettlefang, Leafflower and Timberfoot were still there.

Next thing on her mental checklist was the medicine cats. She saw Copperpaw approaching his mentor Roseclaw and as it seems she was scolting him. But they both seemed fine. 

The senior warrior Aspenclaw and his patrol buddy for today Vinetail were just about to head out. Boulderstar nodded to herself.

"Amberleaf, you can head out with the other three. And Harepaw", she gave the young cat a stern look. "When you get back you better have proven that you are as big as your mouth." She then gave a quick word to Pearpaw. "Don't let him use you to sharpen his claws. Stand up for yourself, little she-cat. You're gonna be a warrior after all. And no cat has the right to put you down like that." Boulderstar let out a sigh. She wanted to join them on their patrol, but it seemed she was needed here at the moment. Ravenfeather's worried look would not let her go. She needed to make sure the kits were all fine. All of them.

"Screefoot", she addressed the mentor. It was clear the female cat felt ashamed for her apprentice. "Don't let loose." That was all advice she would give right now. With a respectful nod towards her alike thinking deputy she made her way over to the queen.

"Ravenfeather#", she meowed friendly. "Good morning. Are all the kits okay and are you fine, too?" Boulderstar fell into a side-by-side walk with the queen. She didn't wanna stop her from going wherever she was going, so instead of forcing the queen to stop she just went to fall into her pace. "Have they been giving you a hard time?" She was thankful for every cats work in the clan. And Ravenfeather seemed to really enjoy hers.
