"We'll head to the DawnClan border first," he replied without looking. This was another one of Grimjaw's strange habit. Whenever he talked to someone, he rarely looked at them, unless he was confronted face-to-face. They we're still running as he explained what they were going to do. "After we check that border, we'll head around to the DarkGlade and finish up at the SunClan border. We'll loop back around and start hunting at the stream. I scented a good supply of fish there, not to mention plenty of voles and mice."

Nightfrost looked at Grimjaw strangely. It was wierd how he never made eye-contact, and stared at something else. Was it because of his jaw? Was he embarrassed when someone saw it? He really had no clue what mousebrained things went on in Grimjaw's head. He paddled behind the warrior, listening intently as he explained what they would do. He nodded in agreement, and kept up his fast pace.

Monarchwing slowed to a stop as they reached the DarkGlade. "Echostar is still training...it wouldn't be a bad idea to renew the scent markers, but we best leave her alone." she warned with a hiss. She held back her annoyance of how Grimjaw thought he was so....shady and frightening. He never made eye contact and he rarely talked.

Blackpaw whipped around with a low hiss slashing her paw at ratpaw's head as her eyes widened anticipating his next move.

"Enough!" Echostar ordered. "Both of you, get washed up and then follow me. We'll work on your hunting skills next." she meowed briskly. Tunring away, she padded out of the DarkGlade and headed back to camp, expecting to two apprentices to follow.
Grimjaw nodded, agreeing with Monarchwing. "She's leaving though, so now we don't have to worry." He quickly renewed the markers and padded back to the other two cats. "Let's go." he growled, this time holding his stare on Nightfrost for a few seconds before leaving. Nightfrost had always seemed to bother him. Maybe it was because he seemed too nice?

Blackpaw followed her leader with a low growl. She didn't like that they had to stop fighting but she wasn't one to complain, besides hunting would also be intresting.

Nightfrost felt a pair of eyes burning into his pelt. He whipped around, only to find Grimjaw staring at the ground, as usual. "Okay, we're going." He replied in a half-snarl. Why was this cat bossing him around all of the sudden? He towered above Grimjaw in heighth, one of the biggest cats in the clan.

Ratpaw glared at the she-cat. He knew he could beat her with a single paw, she didn't know how much strength he really owned. Maybe he was being to headstrong...he needed to impress Echostar, that was his main concern at the moment. He padded over to a small stream and cleaned off the blood and dirt that clung to his silver fur. He raced after Echostar, walking shoulder to shoulder with his mentor.
Monarchwing couldn't help but giggle at the two toms. They both had a sense of hatred toward each other and yet they tried to contain it. If that was her, she'd lash out with tooth and claw. She followed Grimjaw to the Darkstream, the churning black water roaring so loudly, she could barley hear herself think. She sniffed at the ground nearby. "Nothing but stale fox scent." she reported.

Echostar glanced at her apprentice who was padding easily next to her. She snorted once before taking off even faster. The sudden burst of speed has surprised Ratpaw and he struggled to keep close. Once back at camp, Echostar looked behind her once again. Ratpaw was there, but exhausted. Blackpaw was still out of sight.
Grimjaw tasted the air. Monarchwing was right. There was no prey scent around, and that was probably because of the fox who had been here earlier. "I say we follow the fox scent." he hissed. "We should make sure that it's off our territory."

Ratpaw panted and glared at Echostar maliciously. He padded over to the fresh kill pile...nothing but a dead chaffinch with worms sliding and weaving through its chest. He grimaced and swallowed hard, stifling his rumbling stomach. He lay down in a path of warm sun the dappled the floor of the camp. Hopefully he wouldn't have to do anything just yet.
Monarchwing narrowed her bright teal eyes. "Hold on just one minute. Think Grimjaw, if we do find the fox one of us will have to go back and warn Echostar, two cats can't fight a fox alone without getting injured badly. Plus, what if there are more than one fox. Maybe we should grab Echostar and an apprentice first." she meowed with a lick at her front paw.

Nightfrost was sitting to the side, his powerful form gleaming in the light. A glimmer of amusement sparkled in his eyes, as he watched those two argue like an old married couple. They both had an equally important point. It would be smart to tell Echostar before they went fox hunting. But, then again, he was sure that the two toms could take on a fox without any trouble. But if there was more than one... Nightfrost shuddered at the thought. Self-conciously, he groomed his ears, licking a massive black paw and rubbing it aganst his dark ears.

"What do you think Nightfrost." she growled at the tom who wasn't caring at all. Her bright teal eyes burnt with anger.

Grimjaw snorted. He wasn't about to waste time arguing over whether of not they should fight a fox. "I didn't say fight it." he growled back. "Just follow it to see if it's off our territory and see how many there are. If we can fight, we fight. If there are too many, we'll go back for more warriors, simple as that."

Monarchwing glared at him. "If you haven't noticed we don't have many Warriors at all!"she hissed. "But fine, if you want to get us killed go crazy. I'll follow but I won't like it" she snarled starting to walk past him while following the scent trail of the fox.

Grimjaw's lips curled into a satisfied smile. He had won. "Glad you see it my way," he hissed under his breath. He padded on ahead of Monarchwing. Before he got too far, he called back over his shoulder, "Coming Nightfrost?"
