Rushpaw's amber eyes gleamed with excitement at the prospect of heading towards the DuskClan border. Silverstar told them that they'd be fighting with BirchClan and he had never been in a fight before, except for the practice bouts with the other apprentices and Minnowstone. Not even a border scrap given the run of peace that they'd had which was longer than he'd been alive. He wanted to show those DuskClan cats that they didn't scare MistClan. He wanted to prove himself so he could go to the next gathering too.

They waited at the entrance to camp for the final member of their patrol to join them after speaking with their leader in her den. That must be so cool, to get to speak personally to Silverstar. Thistlefoot stood next to Minnowstone looking as anxious to leave as he felt. It was barely approaching sunhigh and so much had happened already. He had a feeling they were going to see something while they were out, he didn't know what, but something. He was about to open his jaws to ask how much longer when the loud voice of Pikeleap called out to Lightningnose as she emerged from the leader's den. Their deputy was amazing. Big, strong, and commanded the respect of the other cats around camp with such ease, he wanted to be just like him when he got older.

He sprang to his paws with his tail waving as the yellow she-cat padded towards them. [b][color=619cff]"Morning Lightningnose,"[/color][/b] he chirped, [color=619cff][b]"What were you talking to Silverstar about? It must've been important if she asked you to come to her den and everything. Was it about the fact that we're allies with BirchClan now? Are you going to work with Wolfheart? That's be super cool and you were the one to bring him into camp."[/b][/color]

A light brown tail swung in front of his mouth to hush his ramblings and he gave Thistlefoot a sheepish look. He clicked his jaw shut loud enough that it could be heard and the tail moved away. He continued to shift excitedly from foot to foot as they left camp and began their walk to the DuskClan border.
