The day was bright, and warm, and Sunbear was unimpressed by this. Greenleaf had given few signs of easing up; constant, angry thunderstorms had shaken the forest, but they had barely made a dent in the fierce heat that seized the Clans. Even with her short fur, the black and gold she-cat despised it. It didn't help, either, that things were dreadfully boring during greenleaf. There was no extra hunting needed; the fresh-kill pile was always overflowing. Tensions - while they'd been a bit high with ShadowClan - had eased, since no Clans were hungry or in want of herbs in a way that would contest the borders. There weren't even herbs to gather; the normally scarce plants were abundant, and there were no sick cats to need them, anyway.
So when Rapidfire had been looking to send out a late sunhigh border patrol, and asked for volunteers, Sunbear's interest had been piqued. The promise of a border patrol had excited her - she'd volunteered to go right away. Maybe she could stir up some drama with one of the bordering Clans. Not for no reason, of course, but she was excited by the prospect of catching some sorry ShadowClanner treading even a whisker over the border...
As the two mollies stalked along, though, Sunbear's nose twitched. The borders needed checking, that was true, but... couldn't they wait? The scent of any cat that was there now would still be there later. Intrigued, the young warrior parted her jaws to taste the air, and she was pleased by the mouth-watering scent that bathed her tongue. There was a rabbit warren nearby - and now that she thought about it, she was starving.
Sunbear glanced over at her denmate. Would she go along with it? Ugh, she hoped Laurelriver wasn't some goody four paws. Even if she was, Sunbear was going to stop for a snack, whether or not Laurelriver hunted with her. "Hey, Laurel - what do you say we stop for a quick bite? I smell the most amazing rabbit scent nearby..."

Laurelriver would have been lying if she didn't sign up for this border patrol just for the chance to see Nettleweaver again.
She couldn't help herself! It was easy for her to want to talk with him again. They had chemistry together, and she couldn't help but want to know even more about the white tom across the border... though she did keep that to herself. She also wondered what Leopardwind thought about that... and what that would mean for her being an awesome WindClan warrior, in turn. She knew the effort that it took to be someone as good as Cloudjumper and Leopardwind, and... she could muster it, for a few heartbeats, before she grew tired.
Despite the tempting smell of rabbit, Sunbear's offer was a bit too much. Laurelriver was interested in bending the code, but not flat-out breaking it. "Suit yourself," she said, "but I'm gonna go check the borders like a good warrior. Meet me by the Thunderpath when you're done. I won't tell a soul." If she were an apprentice, she probably would have jumped on the chance to break some rules just for the sake of breaking them, but Laurelriver wanted to be an actually good warrior who helped the clan.
It was a little boring, though, walking alone.
Laurelriver didn't know if it was worse walking alone and having no one to talk to, joining Sunbear on her code-breaking, or telling on Sunbear and dragging her back to cam- wait, no, that was the worst. She didn't really want Sunbear to get in trouble... especially since it wasn't like she was doing something that bad. Eating one rabbit in the middle of greenleaf was one of the least worrisome code-breaking out there. Laurelriver was just worried about 'what if ShadowClan invaded while we weren't patrolling the borders?'... which, as she thought about it, was stupid, since ShadowClan was nocturnal and slept during the day, and would not send an invasion while their enemy was wide awake. We should send more night patrols to watch for ShadowClan.
She wondered if Sunbear wanted someone to hang out with her, and that was why she invited Laurelriver to join her. Laurelriver didn't really want to leave the young she-cat alone. Sneaking back to where she had left Sunbear, the calico she-cat hid in a patch of tall grass. Perhaps she could play ambush, catch any rabbits that were disturbed by Sunbear's presence.
Eventually, one rabbit raced her way. Laurelriver burst out of her hiding spot, dashing behind the rabbit before spotting a patch of bright orange fur. Fox. Laurelriver hissed at the predator, trying to chase it away from Sunbear. "Come and get me, you fox-" Wait, would fox-heart even be an insult to a fox? "Fox... uh... you're just a fox."
The fox was looking right at her now, leaping at the calico she-cat. Laurelriver sunk her teeth into the ginger pelt, before feeling her own pelt being bit. "Hey, Sunbear! Really could use some help with this fox here!"
Fox used Iron Bite on Laurelriver, dealing 15 damage and costing 30 EP.
Laurelriver used Bite on Fox, dealing 11 damage and costing 5 EP.
