Jixfire walked slowly, looking behide him a lot to make sure the two cats were still behide him.

Winterstripe quickened her pace and slowed down when she reached Jinxfire. "So where are we going to patrol?" she asked softly. Her pale blue eye and yellow eye shone as she looked at Jinxfire, displaying an unreadable emotion.

Duskyrose padded behind the other two in silence, lost in her thoughts. After her long silence, her speech was sudden and perhaps rather unexpected.
"What was Grayfur's purpose in sending us out so suddenly?" she asked.
Her tone was flat and emotionless, her thoughts hidden. There was no sense of contempt in her question, merely what seemed almost like pure innocence, the question of a young child. Yet, deeper in her eyes, there flitted a shadow of suspicion. It was an odd time to send a patrol, for it as not dawn. What was the deputy playing at?

Winterstripe's tail twiched as she thought about what Duskyrose had just said. "I don't know. Maybe he noticed that a number of cats were awake and just asked us to go out so that we had something to do," Winterstripe guessed.

Jinxfire shrugged. "It could be that," he started. "Or he's plotting to kill Cloudystar and needed to get as many cats out of camp as possible." After saying this, he relized it wasn't funny

Winterstripe was shocked at what Jinxfire had said. Grayfur would never do such a thing! She thought knowing that what Jinxfire had said was only meant as a joke. How was that funny? She decided to forgive Jinxfire for what he said but still didn't say anything in response and just kept walking. She pushed the subject away from herself and cleared her mind and began to think of where would be a good place to patroll.

"You choose a serious topic to jest about," Duskyrose spoke calmly. "I would not believe it of Grayfur."
With a sigh, the gray she-cat shrugged as best a cat could. "But some cats do things you would not expect them to... Even so, I doubt it. You're probably right, Winterstripe. But..."
The she-cat trailed off, not wanting to say any more of her thoughts, which might cause unrest. Grayfur had been carrying prey; what had he been doing at that time of night hunting? Was their deputy just strange?

Winterstripe too thought about what Duskyrose had said not daring to speak of it. She trusted Grayfur and even if times were hard she did not think that he would that.

Grayfur was hunting in the nearby clearing. After failing to catch a mouse, he gave up. After shaking the mud from his paws, he noticed Jinxfire talking about nonsense to another cat. he growled slowly. Jinxfire was supposed to be leading the patrol, not talking ot other cats. He abandoned what he was doing and quickly trotted over to the patrol.
As he got closer, he realized that they were talking about him. His eard flattened. They were alughing at him! Grafur let out a loud growl. How dare they! he would show these cats what a real warrior was made of!

Winterstripe hadn't heard Jinxfire but she had already known that he had only meant it as a joke. Even though she hadn't heard Jinxfire she had heard Grayfur growl. She was seven fox lengths ahead of Jinxfire and Duskyrose with a large fern separating them. Winterstripe dashed through the fern to see the deputy and two warriors. Uh oh! Winterstripe thought. Grayfur must have heard Jinxfire's little joke. "He didn't mean it Grayfur! Honestly! He was just trying to be funny and make a little joke but he realized he made a mistake,” Winterstripe claimed looking fearfully at the two toms.

Duskyrose whirled around at the growl, a tendril of Grayfur's scent drifting over her nose.
"StarClan..." she muttered under her breath. She immediately attemtped to mend the situation. "Grayfur, you mustn't take us seriously. We're tired and I'm sure Jinxfire didn't mean what he said, nor was he thinking about it. We are all loyal to you and Cloudystar, of course, and I would never suspect you of plotting anything at all."
The earnestness in her voice was real, she was desperate to make things right again. Her blue eyes seemed blank, calm, cool, collected. However, inside she was boiling with nervousness. What if Grayfur took offense?

Grayfur snarled at Duskyrose. "Out of my way!" he spat. He walked straight up to Jinxfire, and snorted. "You think it's funny?" he said angrily. "You think it's funny to make sun of the depudy?" he snarled and swipe at Jinxfire, planning to hit him. "You're supposed to be on a patrol! No messing with these two!" he hissed, and spun around to face winterstorm and Duskyrose. "I'm watching you," he snarled. "There's nowhere you can hide, because I'll find you. You can run, but I'll catch you!" He hissed at Jinxfire, and stormed off.
ooc: Sorta like Tigerstar... Don't worry. he's a noble ccat.

Jinxfire's fur stood on end. When he had said what he did, it was never meant to be heard by anyone but the cats in the patrol. "Grayfur,... it was only a joke. Honest!" Jinxfire quickly dogged the swipe Grayfur made at him, still in shock. Grayfur's words fightened him. Jinxfire had never been a popular cat in the clan ever since what happened with his brother. THough he had never been this hated. Though his everything told him not become angry with Grayfur, he did anyway, and his eyes hardened.

Duskyrose stared at Grayfur, her jaw dropping over.
"Grayfur, you have no right to strike a clanmate, even if you are deputy!" she cried. "Nor is there need to threaten us."
Giving a shaky sigh, the she-cat spun to face Jinxfire.
"He didn't get you right? That would be breaking the rules set down by StarClan!"
There was earnest concern for her clanmate in her voice as her unblinking blue eyes looked him over.
"But please don't get to angry," she added as an afterthought. "He is the deputy, after all, and if you're angry at him, bad things could happen to you. If you two fought, the clan would side with him."
{Since Jinxfire is in love with Winterstripe, would it be in interesting twist for Duskyrose to fall in love with Jinxfire for a time?}
