"Ready to go on patrol, Juniperpaw?"

The question dragged me from my thoughts, and I blink and turn slightly to see Honeyflower. The mouse at my paws only has a few patches of fur picked away, and I start to wonder why I even got it before Honeyflower's voice sounds again.

"Should I take the lack of a response as a no, then?" she purrs. Fixing her pale amber gaze on me, she adds, "You were up earlier than everyone else, so I just thought you were ready to go."

"Oh, uh, y-yeah." I stand and step forward. "Who else is going with us?"

Honeyflower blinks. "Um... hm... I thiiiink... Willowshade aaaand..." She frowns as she tries to remember. "Oh! Crowpaw." At that, she grins at me, and I roll my eyes. "Since, y'know, you're so close to them, just thought you'd like to know." Then she turns and trots back to Willowshade's side, leaving me with my food.
