[The Cannibal]

Due to the fact that Skyclan had welcomed in a few warriors from the other clans, Grousestar was able to know that the clans had a place where they gathered, known as Seastones.
Now considering he was knew to this territory, he most certainly needed directions from those warriors that knew where it was, allowing them to describe to him how these gatherings went about, and for the most part, he understood how it was supposed to go.
And so the brown tabby led the select members of his clan to the gathering place, having left a bit early in case he somehow managed to get lost on his way to this new place and after a little bit of traveling the new clan of the territory arrived at Seastones, the Skyclan leader flicking his ear a bit as he realized he may have arrived a bit too early, but nonetheless, it didn't put a damper on his spirits, this was new and it was very much exciting to him.
So without further ado, Grousestar led his clan into Seastones with a delighted grin on his muzzle, interested in getting to know the lay out of this presumably peaceful place, recognizing the scents of all of the clans mingled together and figuring that they must have been meeting here for many generations, surely as long as they've been in this area and it was truly fascinating. They had never had interaction with other cats aside from loners and the occasional lost kittypet and yet.. Over the past several moons they have battled and met four new clans and they've also had a brush with the dark faction they bordered. One could say it was overwhelming, but Grousestar was taking it just fine and was enjoying, for the most part, every second of it. He loved to meet new cats, make new friends, have his clan become allies with another, it was a nice feeling.

As Skyclan filtered into the clearing, Grousestar peered up at the large rock formation, piecing together that that was likely where the leaders were to conjoin, but for now, considering no other clan was here, he allowed himself to take a quick sniff about and scope out the entirety of the area. It really didn't take him that long and after a short while he settled himself by the formation, curling his tail over his paws and looking upon his group of warriors and apprentices with pride, his emerald eyes sparkling with that delighted, cheerful look that was almost always there, his smile placed on his muzzle as he waited for the appearance of the other clans.

[Jingle]

Halestar glanced at Grousestar, her green eyes looking into his. She nodded at him in a short greeting before taking a small breath. "Hello, I suppose we may have met before but I am Halestar." She mewed, voice calm and cool even though she was incredibly anxious about making deals with clan leaders.

Her tail lashed back and fourth as she sat, looking back at the clan cats gathering below. She hoped the other clans would arrive soon, as she didn't particularly trust SkyClan yet- however they helped get rid of Blazingash's rule.

[The Cannibal]

Ears perking up as one of the other clans came padding into the clearing, he couldn't help but feel a small burst of excitement.
Look at all of these new cats! If only I had the time to meet them all.
but his attention was quickly brought to Halestar, the tabby tom sitting up a bit straighter momentarily before giving up that act, that wasn't him, he was a tom that was comfortable in his own skin, though he did give his chest fur a few looks so that he did look presentable in front of the other leaders that would surely be arriving soon as well.
"Indeed, we have met, but nonetheless it is a pleasure to meet you under these circumstances Halestar. It's time I formerly introduce myself, the last time we met was under.. Unfortunate times." The tom paused as he reflected on the battles that had gone on not so far in the past.
"I, am Grousestar."
The tom would have offered for the she-cat to call him by an informal name, but at the moment, he was unsure if it was the right time to do this. It was his first gathering and figured it would be best to keep things, for the most part, formal. He wanted to give a good name to Skyclan in this first gathering.

His gaze remained on the fluffy leader for a moment before he found himself looking back down at the clearing as Skyclan and Shadowclan cats met, not in battle like before, but peacefully, unable to keep his smile from growing as he watched them tentatively mingle.
This will be interesting at the very least, that's for sure.

[Fel]

Russetstar was a new leader- he'd only recently become the leader of Riverclan, and it'd been about a moon since his strange dream from Starclan, telling him that it was his duty to lead the clan. He'd gained his nine lives, and kept them close to him as he begun to lead- though the other clans didn't have an idea that he was the one chosen by their ancestors to lead Riverclan. He'd hoped that he would be a great leader, somebody who could pull his clan out of tragedy that the Dark Era infused into their standings, ruining the lives of so many cats who he was now in charge of. He now had to introduce himself to the rest of the clans- including Skyclan, the strange clan who had appeared from the shadows to save the original four who were in trouble, having been taken over by... monsters. Taking in a deep sigh, the tom strode out into Seastones quietly, his paws padding across the stone loudly as he led Riverclan into the gathering, the first one since the evil leaders had been overthrown.

"...Hello." He let out a sigh as he saw that he wasn't the first nor the last leader to arrive- it was Grousestar, the strange new leader of Skyclan, and Halestorm- deputy of Shadowclan- who had arrived. "It's nice to meet you two- my name's Russetstar- the new leader of Riverclan." Shadowclan and Riverclan had a history of fighting ever since the great battle between Winterstar and Fallowstar, and Skyclan was... new to the forest entirely, but he hoped that a new era of peace could be reached.

[Jingle]

Halestar looked at Grousestar, nodding. "It's nice to meet you, Grousestar." She mewed, voice mornin quite cold but not quite friendly to the new clan. SkyClan could be a good ally for ShadowClan, so it would Ben in their best interest to be close. The leader had not even been a leader for a moon before Timberstar had passed into StarClan, leaving her to take care of the clan. "I hope all goes well with SkyClan and the others, after all you saved our tails about a moon ago."

When the new leader arrived, she tilted her head slightly- wondering what clan he was from. Then the faint smell of fish washed over her nose and she knew it must be the new RiverClan leader. She couldn't quite recognize this cat so when he introduced himself she nodded, "Hello, Russetstar." The leader meowed, flicking her tail.

ShadowClan and RiverClan had a history- and not a good one at that. More importantly it was a RiverClan cat who started the whole era of where monsters took over all the clans. Halestar was sure she wouldn't want to ally with a past foe, however she would hopefully be able to keep the relationship between the two clans mutual at the least.

Halestar looked around the clearing for the other two clans to join them so they may start with the gathering and sharing news, she hoped that ThunderClan and WindClan didn't have a change in leaders as well, as this new era of cats needed some more experienced ones to lead SkyClan and RiverClan down the right path once again.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Blazingstorm padded towards the group of leaders. He wasn't the last to arrive. Thank goodness, I didn't want to be late, the ginger tom let out a small breath of relief, but kept his head high. As he approached, he slowed down, looking over each feline. Halestorm, Gorsestar, and another leader he had yet to meet. It wasn't good Dapplestar wasn't here to meet them, but he'd tell her about it soon after the gathering.

The deputy paused a tail length away, searching for the words he could say, he thought fast, he didn't want to sound as nervous as he felt. "Greetings," the feline spoke clearly, his golden gaze moving to each leader. "We've yet to formally meet, but I am Blazingstorm, Windclans deputy. I'll be filling in while Dapplestar is unable to attend," he spoke in a calm, clear voice, dipping his head towards the cats. Nailed it! he mentally added.

As the deputy awaited a response, he settled himself down, his long fluffy tail wrapping over his paws. Compared to most Windclan cats, he was a bit bulkier, and only slightly taller, but nonetheless, built for speed with his abnormally long tail and claws. If the cats knew of a cheetah was, his tail and claws would compare to that, but most clan cats didn't. His claws flexed slowly, tapping the hard surface in a nervous tick. Blazingstorm wasn't sure what to do, he didn't show it, but he was incredibly nervous.

[The Cannibal]

Already Grousestar felt as though he was getting a good reading on this she-cat's personality, but he wasn't always the best judge of character considering he saw the best in every cat, he liked to think he did anyways. But her tone of voice was cool, not exactly friendly, not exactly unfriendly, a good neutral tone. Perhaps it would change the more they spoke, perhaps it wouldn't, nonetheless, that wouldn't stop the tom from being friendly to the other leader.
"Indeed, all is fairly well, just getting situated with the new territory. And I hope all is well in.." He had to pause, trying to remember the names of the clans and the scents he had managed to attach to them. Marshy was.. Oh right!
".. Shadowclan, I know leafbare can be a hard time for anyone."

Not too long after he had spoken, a new face appeared, climbing up onto the rock formation, their clan filtering in with the other two that were already there. With about the friendliest smile a cat could possibly manage, the Skyclan leader dipped his head politely to the Riverclan leader, not having a hard time remembering which clan smelled like fish.
Good to see they have a new leader, they were the clan I was worrying about after liberation.

"Greetings Russetstar! I'm sure you'll do a fantastic job as leader of the clan, I'm not quite sure if we've ever met, but I'm Grousestar." Purred out the tom as he introduced himself to the other leader, the tip of his tail flicking in delight. Nothing made him happier than being able to talk to other cats like this and provide support and encouragement to them, even if they weren't from his clan. The only time he had problems with outsiders was when they threatened the well being of his clan, and trust me, you didn't want to see that side of Grousestar.

And right after he had introduced himself to the Riverclan leader, a new face was joining them with the smell of moorland, a scent that was still rather fresh in his mind despite the battle having been practically an entire moon ago. That was the smell of Windclan. He trained his gentle, emerald gaze upon the deputy as he sat down with them, waiting quite patiently for him to introduce himself as well. As he said greetings, the brown tabby flashed an encouraging grin, dipping his head slightly in his own silent form of 'hello'.
Dapplestar is the leader, shame that they aren't here now but I suppose I can always meet them next gathering.
There was no disappointment at being able to meet the Windclan deputy, he was just as excited to meet him as he was the other leaders.
"Well then welcome Blazingstorm, I am Grousestar, leader of Skyclan. I'm sure you will represent your clan well in t he absence of Dapplestar."
That's four clans including my own.. Shadowclan, Riverclan and Windclan meaning there's only one left before I suppose you could say this thing really starts.. Who was it again? Stormclan..? Lightningclan..? No, no, Thunderclan! That's who we're missing!
Shaking his head a bit, he cleared his thoughts so that he could listen to the other leaders with the exception of a deputy if they desired to speak with him in any sort of way, but in the meantime his gaze was falling back on the clearing that was quickly filling with cats from the four clans that were here, Grousestar still able to pick out the forms of his own warriors and apprentices and elders.

[Jingle]

The new ShadowClan leader nodded in a greeting to WindClan's deputy before glancing back at Grousestar. "I'm glad you are adjusting well." she mewed before taking a small breath. "I know it can be difficult to rebuild your clan. Hopefully everything can continue this way."

Halestar had decided she wanted her clan to hopefully become allies with SkyClan, they were the new clan and could quite possibly be something great within the clans. Her tail stopped flicking as a small smile came onto her face, "If you need anything, Grousestar, ShadowClan will be at your service." she said, voice much more friendly than before.

[zinfranny]

Gyrewind once again performed as Ashstar's filler, and he surely wasn't accustomed to being a sole feline ahead of his Clan. He felt odd feelings as he listened to the murmuring and padding cats behind him, stifling the urge to erupt and sprint across the canopy towards the gathering.
His silvery eyes focused on the palatial that was Seastones, drawing in the salty air so that it filled his lungs, rather then the smell of the forest. He admired the smooth stones that were bathed of the dying sunset and the slapping of the waves against the cost. It was a completely new world to walk through when dwelling in the forest. A new world his distracted mind would unfortunately have to ignore as his path tread through the crowd, and his cats filtered in among the Clans. Gyrewind beholded the up-standing rock formation that reached above the clearing, four silhouettes perched rightfully atop. Finally it set in that ThunderClan was the last Clan to arrive, thanks to himself. The thought sent a flash of embarrassment through Gyrewind, a sinking in his chest but he dared not let his ears fold or his head duck. Although his faced screwed up into something of worry, the deputy looked back up at the silhouettes above the stone. He took in another elongated, salty breath to sweep away the flash of embarrassment. Preparing his muscles, the feline ascended up the stone on lofty, nimble limbs. He had to suppress the sick feeling his stomach threatened when the four leaders became visible upon his arrival on the stone. Gyrewind's face was miraculously respectable when he stepped into the group, a casual coolness in his silver eyes, despite is former anxiousness. Whether or not they could sense his mediocre demeanor prior, he had to ignore.
"Hello, I'm Gyrewind. I suppose you already know where I'm from, and will act in Ashstar's absence tonight.'' The willowy feline's head dipped in the face of the presumable four leaders, coming back up with a warmly glowing face and grin. Gyrewind surveyed the four faces, as each of them were unfamiliar despite being the Clan leaders he and Ashstar negotiated with. He could pinpoint the scents from one another that came from the cats; Moorland, fish, marsh, and something outlandish. He found the long-haired she-cat an authoritative figure to represent ShadowClan with a mien he respected. Then the fish-smelling tom, well, he looked right out of RiverClan. He liked the way his eyes were so large and perfectly reflected the Seastones, and his sleek marbled fur with the most husky body out of all of them. The ginger cat, and rather appealing at that, he identified as WindClan looked not what Gyrewind expected from the wind-bathed cats. He was averagely short and had defined muscles. Gyrewind, on the other hand, was abnormally tall and unpleasantly slender, rather then the stereotypical broad-shouldered feline coming out of ThunderClan. If the two of them switched Clans, cats wouldn't question it because of how much the represented the other Clan. This made Gyrewind chuckle to himself, before drawing his eyes to the anticipated newcomer. The face of SkyClan was just as good looking as the last one. This cat had a tabby pelt, darkened by the shadows and flared to the face of the setting sun, a round face that was frosted with a grin and completed by salient green eyes. Any cat could get lost in this leader's charismatic friendliness, just by looking at him. Gyrewind expected everyone trying to rub off a good impression on the new Clan leader, not only for their Clan's sake, but for his luminous smile. While it were intelligent to befriend this crisis-relieving Clan, Gyrewind detected himself hoping for the cat's good will for his own sake. How shameful! Ashstar leaves for one (more) gathering, and his deputy is already trying to tickle his pleasure with the new Clan!

[The Cannibal]

As the four leaders settled themselves in, Grousestar couldn't help himself from continuously searching for the one leader they were missing, his ear flicking and a rather distracted look crossing his face, though he did hear what Halestar said and glanced back at her with a smile and a polite nod, figuring there was nothing in particular that needed to be said to that statement.
I hope there's no trouble with Thunderclan. Unless this is a normal thing for a clan to not show up?
His eyes glanced to the other three leaders for a sign that gave away that this was an abnormal occurrence but truly found none so he simply shifted his weight and allowed the thought to be pushed to the back of his mind, his full attention turning back to Halestar.

The brown tabby tilted his head a bit at the kind offer, his smile widening a bit and a look of happiness seeming to dawn on him, though internally he was a bit confused. This she-cat had seemed so.. Reserved, like the kind of cat who didn't want to have to particularly deal with other clans and now, she spoke with a friendly tone. Perhaps his personality had rubbed off on her? Or perhaps she had made up her mind on something. Nonetheless, it didn't bother him, if you were nice to him and his clan, he would in turn be nice to you and your clan, plain and simple.
"And the same offer is extended to Shadowclan on the behalf of Skyclan." The friendly tone was reflected in his voice, as clean and crisp as it was before.

"Now is.. The er.. Other clan coming, Thunderclan? Or should this simply continue without them? I'm sorry, but I'm not quite sure how these gatherings work, I'm particularly new to the whole concept." He chuckled with a half-smile, glancing back down at the clearing full of cats as he waited for his answer.
Though he didn't have to really wait too long before he caught sight of a group of cats moving in to filter amongst the already crowded gathering place, it didn't take much of a brain to realize that this was the last clan arriving, Thunderclan. Within a few moments, the cat that was here to represent the clan was climbing up onto the rock formation to join them, the brown tabby waiting for the deputy to introduce himself to the group and meanwhile taking in his appearance and demeanor, trying to get a feel for the personality this cat held.
After Gyrewind had introduced himself, Grousestar immediately dipped his head with one of his signature rumbling purrs, that smile of his still glued to his face as he spoke to the other tom.
"Greetings Gyrewind, it is a pleasure to see that Thunderclan could make it tonight and a pleasure to meet you as well. As you.. May or may not know or remember, I am Grousestar of Skyclan." The leader couldn't be sure if he every actually did meet Gyrewind when they had fought for the liberation of Thunderclan or not and so figured it would simply be best to introduce himself again regardless, just as he had down for the other leaders and deputy.

[Jingle]

Halestar nodded slightly before smiling softly, "Thank you." She messed before turning back to the clearing full of cats of all clans. Her tail flicked for a moment before curling at the end, she was truly excited on announcing herself as the new ShadowClan leader. She wanted to make a difference in all the clans- hopefully in a positive way.

This wasn't the new leader's first gathering representing the ShadowClan but she still was slightly nervous, with this new title and name she would be expected to lead the clan well and make wise announcements to all the clans. The Maine coon shifted at Grousestar's comment, looking back at him. "Well they should be here soo-" and before she even finished the representative of ThunderClan arrive followed by a large group of cats.

She dipped her head in a greeting and put back on her usual face of sternness. The didn't want ShadowClan to seem like a weak clan like it currently was, she wanted them to rule the forest again- return ShadowClan to its former glory. Halestar smirked softly at the thought of leading her clan back onto the right path that the last few leaders had been missing- being proud and loyal to that of their own kin. The only reason she wanted to become an ally with SkyClan is because of an occasion were to arise where they would need help, they could help them.

[Fel]

When the tom had arrived, he hadn't expected much of a kind greeting, at least from the leader of Shadowclan- which, he could garner, was Halestorm, or Halestar, now. She wasn't announcing having taken over for Timberstar to appear, and it occurred to him that there were two new leaders here- if he excluded Grousestar, the Skyclan cat who had practically saved them all. Many cats didn't exactly trust him nor his clan- it was logical, since Riverclan were the ones to kick-start this entire period of darkness. Sighing as Halestar's greeting sent an icy chill down his spine, he decided that talking to Skyclan would be a waste of time for now- maybe another day, but he didn't want to fester more tension between himself and the Shadowclan leader than what already existed. The clans had been enemies longer than he'd been alive, and he was no stranger to misunderstanding how much a cat really disliked him. Instead of talking to Grousestar, he greeted the two new arriving deputies of Windclan and Thunderclan- Gyrewind and- who was it- oh, Blazingstorm. "Nice to see you two are doing well after the takeovers- even if Ashstar and Dapplestar are unable to attend this moon's gathering. My name's Russetstar, and I'm the new leader of Riverclan." His pelt shined handsomely in the moonlight, though the tom's fur lacked proper grooming- he was a bit rushed to not be late, trying to make a good first impression on all the other leaders and their clanmates.

"I suppose we should get to announcements, correct?" He continued to talk, attempting to amplify his voice as so the other leaders would be able to hear him over the crowds of cats who were talking to each other before they started to talk. "Who should go first?"

[SuspiciousMindz]

Blazingstorm felt welcomed by the Riverclan and Skyclan leaders and gave a half smile towards Grousestar. He wasn't sure what to think of Halestar, but would respect her nonetheless. Turing his attention away from them, he heard a new set of paw steps and a new clan's scent. Blazingstorm dipped his head to Gryewind as the feline approached. Thunderclan had made it and now the gathering could officially start. "I'm Blazingstorm, it's too bad two of the leaders couldn't make it, but it doesn't make the clans any less strong," he spoke, his gaze drifting to each cat again.

Finally it rested on Russetstar. Blinking a little, he decided not to go first and instead listen to at least one of the other cats before he spoke. It would calm his nerves seeing an example, but if he were volunteered, then so be it. Instead he took the question against the Riverclan leader. "You can start of if you please, I'm sure the clans are eager to see the new changes in the leadership after such a long time," he spoke, looking towards Halestar, Grousestar, and Gryewind, wondering if they'd agree or if someone else would step forward.

[Jingle]

Halestar shrugged at the question, her green eyes looking towards Grousestar. "I suppose you shouldn't go first, so you can see how it's done here." she said quietly, a small smile on her normally stern face. The new leader shifted and faced the other clan leaders. "Any one of you can go first." she mewed, making sure not to look much at Russetstar- she didn't seem to like him much.

The Maine coon flicked her tail and looked back down at the large group of cats in the clearing below. She started formatting what she should tell the other clans as an update.

She decided it would go something like; Timberstar and his death, settling back in, and a decent amount of prey. Yeah..that would work.

[Fel]

"I guess I can start, then." Russetstar responded towards Blazingstorm's statement, his voice thick with pride as he looked out over all of his clanmates from the seastones. His tail flicked up into the air as he walked towards the stone's edge, signaling all the chattering cats to quiet down and listen to what he had to say- the ideas of what to announce still ringing in his mind. It was nerve-wracking to be up here, but with the idea that Starclan had chosen him to handle it, everything seemed easier to handle. Taking in a deep breath, the leader gazed out into the crowds, suddenly opening his mouth and letting the words spill out almost as if they were the rushing waves of a waterfall. "Riverclan is doing well ever since Bucknight and Thornfrost have been removed from their positions- Starclan has chosen me, Russetstar, to take the place as leader, and in return I have nominated Blackgaze as our deputy." Giving the non-Riverclan cats a few moments to take in the new information, he continued to talk after a short break, eyes wide with happiness. "Though the river has been chilled by leaf-bare's weather, our prey is still running well, and we have many new warriors and apprentices; Dewshine, Phantomspirit, Fadedshadow, Webheart, Silverpaw, Elmpaw, Goosepaw, and a new medicine cat apprentice as well- Arcticpaw. We have been recovering from Bucknight's rule well, and things have begun to go back to normal at the moment."

[Jingle]

Halestar nodded and watched Russetstar, with little to no experience speak up in front of four other clans, five including his own. Her tail slowly flicked as she watched, nodding as he spoke. She waited until he was done speaking- or at least she thought, before standing and clearing her throat.

"Thank you, Russetstar." she mewed, looking down at the crowded clearing beneath them. The waves splashed nearby, leaving a faint and salty mist looming around the Seastones. The newer ShadowClan leader had done this several times before due to Timberstar's leaving, so it wasn't like she was taking on something she had never done before.

The leader took a deep breath, before quieting the talking cats while beginning to speak. "Hello. After Blazingnight was killed, Timberstar returned to his position shortly before dying. Due to this, I am the new leader of ShadowClan." she said, quite loudly so all could hear. "ShadowClan has been recovering quite well since the rule of Dark Forest cats, and we have been back on our feet for quite some time."

She gave a short pause to look at the other leaders and deputies before glancing back at the large mass of cats beneath her. "Prey has been typical leaf-bare, but there is still plenty to eat." Halestar mewed. "I would also like to wish SkyClan a warm welcome to the forest." she said, looking over at the SkyClan leader and smiling softly before stepping back and sitting down.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Blazingstorm stepped up next, speaking for Windclan. He gave Halestar a small nod, however it was merely neutral and respectful. He felt a little awkward to be standing where his leader should be and speaking for her in general, but if she wasn't present then he would. The ginger tom-cat peered down at the faces from all five clans, he recognized his own clan and some felines in others, however everyone in Skyclan was new to him. Clearing his throat, his strong voice rang out, hiding the nervousness that burned beneath his pelt. "Greetings, I am Blazingstorm, Windclan's deputy," he paused to let it sink, he decided not to mention why his leader was away at the moment. "We are doing better now that Singenight and Gorsefeather have left the moors. Prey is like any other leaf-bare, but we are growing stronger with each passing day," he spoke calmly before backing up and sitting down with the two leaders that have already spoken. He let out a small breath and straightened his shoulders before looking toward Gryewind and Grousestar.He began to think about other things he could say, but he knew he couldn't save himself now and instead made himself feel satisfied on what he had said. Quick and simple.

[The Cannibal]

Grousestar would eagerly listen to what all of the other clan leaders had to say in regards to their clan news, genuinely seeming interested by everything they had to say and making sure to keep note of what they had to say, listening with a polite and perpetually cheery smile as first the Riverclan leader, then the Shadowclan leader, and last the Windclan representative stepped forward to announce their news.
Though meanwhile he had to figure out just what exactly he was going to tell all of these cats. It's not like he could really announce like the other leaders, his clan was new to the other four.
Perhaps I can just introduce myself, Auroraflame and Ebonypaw? Yes I believe that would be a good idea.
The thought ran on in the back of his mind as he paid careful attention to the news the others had to share, providing each of them a charismatic nod and smile after they stepped back from speaking to the masses.
When Blazingstorm stepped back to allow either him or Gyrewind to step up the brown tabby cautiously looked to the Thunderclan deputy to see if it would be alright for him to go next before dipping his head and stepping forward to peer down at the giant mass of fur that included cats from all clans and for a moment, he stood there in utter amazement.
Blinking a bit, the Skyclan leader shook his head with a small chuckle.
This is not the time to stand here like a star-struck kit.
Clearing his throat, he would begin.

"Thank you Blazingstorm, Halestar and Russetstar and greetings cats of Thunderclan, Windclan, Shadowclan and Riverclan, I am Grousestar of Skyclan. This is the first time I have had the chance to meet all of you since the liberation of your clans and I must say, it is an honor to formerly introduce myself to all of you. I believe it is also right to introduce my current deputy and medicine cat, so respectively they are Auroraflame," He would pause to nod his head towards the black she-cat with icy blue eyes, that kind smile of his still on his muzzle. "And Ebonypaw." And promptly his head would turn to look at the medicine cat in training that served as their full time medicine cat.
With that being said he would turn his attention away from the specific cats to instead look at the crowd as a whole.
"I have made the decision to move closer to your clans and have settled into the forested territory that borders I believe what is known as the Dusk Syndicate. Despite it being leafbare, the prey runs surprisingly well in this new territory and Skyclan is fairing well and is prospering as well as ever. I am glad to hear that the other clans are recovering well and I hope that Thunderclan follows along that path of recovery. Thank you."

Dipping his head, he would flash one last smile to the crowd before turning it towards the remaining representative that had yet to speak before looking at the other leaders, gaze lingering on Halestar a moment considering that she seemed to be the leader that showed him the greatest kindness. With that, he took his seat again and waiting for Thunderclan to announce their news, as patient as ever.
