Ah yes, the Gathering. The one time when all the Clans could gather in peace and interact without breaking who knows how many rules. It was a wonderful time for those who wanted to get a glimpse into the life of the other Clans and possibly even make a new acquaintance. Fennelnose wasn't excited. They weren't too keen on seeing all of the other cats with their mingling scents and their odd ways of life. Of course, they chose not to acknowledge the differences, knowing that saying something like that would only make the situation awkward. Still, they tried to stick in ThunderClan's bit, hoping that no cat from another Clan would try and talk to them. They hadn't been feeling well lately, and they wouldn't want to get into any sort of argument, lest the moon cover itself up like it was said to do when fighting broke out. Fennelnose had never actually witnessed something like that, so they didn't want to be the cause.
But then again, there was a new leader! That was sure to spark emotion in the crowd, and it definitely gave something for Fennel to mull over. Would Snowstar do well as ThunderClan's sole guide and representative? She was very excitable, but she did indeed seem to have grown more stable and responsible ever since Gyrestar had stepped down—which wasn't very long ago at all, Fennelnose reminded themself. She had matured in such a short amount of time, they were only the slightest bit unsure of whether or not they would do well. Still, Fen worried. Raising their chin and gazing up at the boulder with cold eyes, they waited until the other Clans had arrived. ThunderClan was here, obviously, but there was another scent...
"WindClan," they murmured with certainty, catching a glimpse of the deputy himself. Or... was he the leader, now? There didn't seem to be any other cat with him. Then it wasn't Blazingstorm anymore, but rather, Blazingstar himself. Interesting, thought Fennelnose. There were two new leaders now; Fennel could only wonder who the deputies were.
Speaking of which, Snowstar hadn't appointed a deputy yet. Was she planning on deciding on a deputy tomorrow? It would be far too late to announce one immediately after the Gathering, yet Fennelnose couldn't help but wonder.
