He never did like fishing with others, as it meant more time spent in those proud water elements who uttered jabs under their breath. He had always stuck out of the clan like a sore thumb, partly because of his reclusive attitude, partly because he was a dark element. It was mostly the latter. He watched their representative deliver the spiel through a pair of narrowed eyes, as if he was scrutinizing Bumblepelt for his wording. In truth, Frostwhisper had made up his mind as soon as the tom mentioned the concept of separate patrols. The platinum-furred warrior was confident in his land-prey hunting skills, certain that he could teach himself to catch land prey without the assistance of some earth element. While he did enjoy fishing and swimming, he'd jump at any opportunity to further isolate himself from water elements.

And so already the rosetted tom had made up his mind. He needn't another moment to think on it. Frostwhisper promptly rose to his paws, a ghost-like presence that weaved between his clanmates without regarding them, without being regarded. He journeyed to the medicine cat den, so that he could vote in favor of the patrol separation in order to save himself from the shaming of water elements as he attempted to fish.

Overall, Ashsong found herself feeling...indifferent over the matter. Hunting was hunting, and one way or another, she'd dutifully ensure that her clanmates continued to have a full belly, no matter how much hunting time it took on her part. The storm element had nothing to lose outside of her reputation, a status she worked so hard to improve since she joined RiverClan as a runaway. When it came to fishing, she didn't have the privilege that the typical RiverClan water elements had. Ashsong, as a talented storm element...well, she couldn't just fry the river with electricity. That would kill everything. As a result, she couldn't use her element for fishing and had to rely on traditional methods- tooth and claw. 

The warrior twitched an ear thoughtfully. Hmm... Hunting on land might propose an opportunity for the warrior to use her unusual skill, a situation that might work in her advantage when it came to ensuring her spot in the clan. It might prove for better hunting, wielding cats that weren't strictly water elements and exploiting their elements. It was about time RiverClan made such a change. Ashsong, after a long period of thought, decided to vote in favor of the split patrols.

Meetings always made the laid-back warrior somewhat anxious, given her...erm, recent presence near the WindClan-RiverClan border. She had been tight-lipped about her sudden increase in activity in an effort to visit a tom that made her heart flutter. Sandwhisker never supported the code and instead stuck to the concept of following her heart, which she believed that StarClan would support. Love knew no boundaries. 

Fortunately for her, this sudden meeting was not about any suspected border activity, and instead, it was only about hunting. Sandwhisker shouldn't have felt bothered by it- it was just about hunting, and the plan was rather flattering to the earth-element warrior. However, it posed a problem: land hunting. Potential conflict with WindClan. More RiverClan patrols by the WindClan-RiverClan border. It would threaten her meetings Beetlerunner, despite how harmless mere hunting patrols sounded. She couldn't risk it. She loved him too much. 

The seal point held her breath. She expected that any other earth element might have voted in favor of the specialized hunting patrols, but she would instead vote against them.
