Choice 2 was chosen +10 reputation with Tidespirit, +1/2 reputation with cats who want a strong leader and -5 reputation with the apprentices and Foxshadow.

Emberwillow padded swiftly over to the apprentices and meowed, "Marigoldpaw, Spotpaw and Robinpaw," he said, they glanced at him as their names were called, "You'll be on the dawn patrol with Tidespirit." The apprentices groaned and a few even called "Do we have to?" They obviously hated Tidespirit as much as him.

"You should be thankful to patrol with a deputy!" Greenpaw scolded them, below her breath she muttered, "She'll definitely be the next leader." Spotpaw glared at his sister, "Tidespirit is the worst! You only defend her because she's your mentor!" Greenpaw hissed loudly at her brother and leaped at him, batting her paws across his face.

Foxshadow exited the nursery and caught sight of his kits fighting. "Greenpaw!" he shouted pulling her away from Spotpaw by her scruff. "What's going on?" He asked Emberwillow, "Why are you just letting them fight!" he shouted.

Emberwillow sighed quietly, he didn't have time for this, "They got assigned to a patrol with Tidespirit." he told the ginger tom, "Well except Greenpaw." He added as an afterthought. Foxshadow rolled his yellow eyes and mewed, "Of course they'll be fighting, Greenpaw idolizes Tidespirit. You really should have picked better!" he scolded before turning and stalking back into the nursery.

Eventually, the apprentices assigned to the patrol padded over to Tidespirit and told her that she'd be leading their patrol. She glanced at Emberwillow, a gleam of approval in her icy blue eyes. She was obviously happy with being put in charge.

As they left the camp, Emberwillow didn't quite know what to do.

1) Offer to train Greenpaw in battle while her mentor is away.

2) Offer to train Greenpaw in hunting while her mentor is away.

3) Do some training with Ripplestar.

4) Offer to help the Medicine Cats.

5) Visit Blizzardeyes kits.

6) Talk to some of the warriors milling about camp.
