Mottledpaw had been out on a hunting patrol for roughly 30 minutes and she'd already lost her temper. No one was listening to her, Flintpaw had disobeyed her and someone had stolen her prey. "For starclan's sake stop stealing my prey!" the calico apprentice growled at Flintpaw, causing the grey she-cat to flinch,
"I haven't taken anyone's prey" Flintpaw mewed calmly,
"THEN WHERE HAS MY RABBIT GONE!" the temperamental calico screamed, she hated not getting her way and although she was almost a warrior, she couldn't stand when things went wrong.
"Not sure, maybe you're too mouse-brained to remember where you left things" Flintpaw added cooly as she ran off after a mouse. Most of the prey had been startled from the bratty she-cats yowling.

Mottledpaw let out a loud, frustrated hiss, "Maybe if everyone had of listened to me in the first place this wouldn't have happened!". The calico she-cat abandoned the hunting patrol as she ran deeper into the forest, hopefully, to hunt without those mouse-brains stealing or scaring away any more prey.

Milktail hadn't been Deputy terribly long, but still long enough that the shot of being deputy was starting to slowly and surely wear off. He still had slip ups where someone would ask him something and he'd tell them to find the deputy, only to realize with shock that that was him, but for the most part he was beginning to come into his own. He even enjoyed it a little bit, there was something about this that made his heart swell with pride, he'd always wanted to protect his clan, and this was probably the best way he could possibly be doing that.

However, there were some parts of being Deputy that were still rather un-glamorous, and dealing with bratty apprentices was one of them. He'd gone out on a hunting patrol with a couple of cats, a chance to stretch his legs and see how everyone was getting on, but of course when Mottledpaw insisted on screeching like a trapped rat...He hissed through his teeth as he found the apprentice, his tail lashing a little bit, "or maybe it rose from the dead and ran off with all the other prey you've scared off, Mottledpaw." His tone was stern, but not without the usual purr of amusement that he tended to always have. She needed to learn humility, but this was less serious and more dumb apprentice squabbling.

He approached and flicked his tail across her ears, shooting her a scolding look, "clanmates are meant to get along, not yowl at one another, now, without shouting, calmly explain what happened from start to now." Milktail meowed, he wasn't unfair, he would get her side of the story before he decided what to do about all of this mess, but if she really was just bullying her clanmates over misplaced prey, he would have to step in and make her see that that was no way for a warrior to behave.

Mottledpaw flinched at the familiar sound of Milktail's voice, she turned to face the deputy, eyes still burning with rage. Obviously, Mottledpaw wasn't phased by the fact that the Mistclan Deputy was speaking to her and she responded just like she would have with any other cat.
"Does this really need explaining? Someone has clearly stolen my prey" she spat coldly, ignoring Milktail's remark. "I'm not as mouse-brained as Flintpaw, I won't let this slip" she growled angrily as her eyes darted around the forest that surrounded her.

Mottledpaw's catch had been a plump, adult rabbit and she was obviously very proud of her catch. She had guessed that Flintpaw had taken it just to embarrass Mottledpaw and bathe in the compliments of her catch.

Milktail couldn't help but roll his eyes a little at the blatant lack of respect, of course he wasn't especiallt cross that she was being cheeky to him in particular, he'd always been a more relaxed and easy going cat, but not all cats were and the last thing he wanted was her mouthing off to someone less understanding. He sighed through his nose and quirked a kitty-brow at her, "and so instead of trying to solve the problem reasonably, you instead shout and bully?"

He looked clearly unimpressed, that wasn't the way to be a good warrior, "where did you last leave your rabbit? Show me." There was a chance this was a misunderstanding, there was a chance she was right, but he wouldn't know if they didn't investigate. His expression softened a little, " I only ask because there's a chance she didn't, but perhaps something else did, right? If if wasn't her and something else stole your kill...Well we may have bigger problems then stolen kill right?" Trespassers, other animals, there were many things that could have stolen prey., and if that was the case they needed to figure it out.

"Only because no cat will take me seriously when I don't make it a big deal! They just ignore me and carry on with what they're doing" hissed Mottledpaw, growing more and more annoyed by the minute. 

Mottledpaw reluctantly nodded her head as she lead Milktail to a small bush that had been circled with small, smooth pebbles. "Here" she growled under her breath. "I'm sure it was Flintpaw, you can obviously tell that she's jealous of me" she meowed in an innocent tone, "And this stolen prey could mean I don't get to pass my hunting trail" she spat, it was obvious that Milktail didn't understand where she was coming from. "And if you scent the area around here, the only fresh scents are me and Flintpaw. I have a right to be suspicious of that cold-hearted furball!" she grumbled again.
