It took longer for the sun to set now, and the evenings were getting warmer. It made Rosestar uncomfortable and restless-- usually she preferred the dawn hunts and dawn patrol, but as green-leaf approached her thick red pelt made it difficult for her to rest in the humidity. Checking the borders near the swamp didn't seem like a half bad idea, even though the shallow waters were likely warm from being out in the sun all day.
There was also the fact that she had scented strange cats near the Moonstone-- perhaps her mind had played tricks on her, with Heatherleaf's warning ringing in her ears-- but part of her couldn't help but wonder if the remaining rogues and loners would take the place most sacred to the clans away from them out of spite. It was certainly a possibility, however, it was also a possibility that new loners could be near the barn, ones that had nothing to do with the bloodshed of the past.
Brushing past the roses and heather that she carefully tended to each morning that circled the entrance to her den, Rosestar stretched before jumping onto the High Boulder. Her green gaze swept out over the clan, they looked weary from the heat as well. This green-leaf could prove to be a dangerous one... Luckily, the prey ran well.
Yet bountiful prey meant nothing if they could not keep their borders tight. Rosestar's pelt bristled at Redstar's accusation during the last Gathering. She was always vigilant-- it did not matter how vigilant ShadowClan could be if these outside cats chose to ignore warnings.
Warnings that would prove useful if they wanted to keep their fur, anyway.
Rosestar looked out over her clan. The heat of the sun was fading as it set, and true to their name, ShadowClan did always prefer night. "An evening patrol needs to check that our furthest border is secure-- the scene of outsiders still lingers and I know I do not want WindClan spitting on our efforts at the next Gathering." Rosestar meowed, her voice calm and soothing despite the subject matter. "Do I have any volunteers?"

TAGGED: anyone!
NOTES: this is set after Rosestar, Sparrowpelt, and Nightpaw go to the Moonstone (which is set after Greypaw is accepted into ShadowClan.) That thread hasn't technically happened yet in RP (due to business) so info is vague, but Rose is going to notice an odd scent near their Thunderpath border with WindClan/the Moonstone, which is where roguescent has been noted before. This is a bit of a precursor to the rogue/loner plot going on!
