“Nice to meet you,” Auroraflame said warmly.
“I’m sure you’ll do well as WindClan’s new deputy.” In all honesty, the deputy had no idea at all as to whether Buttercupbreeze would be a good deputy or not, but it seemed like the right thing to say. A nice boost of confidence to help her along this new journey.
The other she-cat beside her spoke up and she turned her icy gaze to rest it on Rowanflower. For a moment, the she-cat sat there, processing the other cat’s words and trying to remember the question that she’d asked in the first place.
That’s right! I was asking about her name change, she thought suddenly. Auroraflame could be very forgetful at times, but she could scold her mind for being forgetful later as it appeared that something was happening up upon the large rocks. She followed Rowanflower’s gaze and looked up at Fallenstar and Blazingstar, who appeared to be getting into an argument. The she-cat listened with a blank expression. She didn’t say anything or do anything. Or rather, she wasn’t sure of what she could do or say. She wasn’t a leader so technically she shouldn’t be interrupting them, which is why she sat still and gazed at each leader in turn as he spoke.
In her personal opinion, Auroraflame found that Blazingstar had come off maybe a bit too harshly. They hadn’t been waiting for that long and it wouldn’t hurt to wait for just a little longer, yet she was pretty sure that his hatred for ThunderClan was fueling him to say those words. That and whatever traditions the other four clans had when it came to gatherings. Part of her agreed with Fallenstar’s response, although for a new leader, she didn’t think it was right for him to be rebuking a more experienced leader like that. There could’ve been at least a little bit of respect. But instead he had just said everything with a blunt tone and no intention of sugar coating anything.
She turned to look at Blazingstar as he responded and now she found herself agreeing with the orange tabby. The inky feline couldn’t seem to pick a side. She agreed with both toms yet there was fault in the words that each of them spoke. Thank StarClan Grousestar had chosen to stay out of it, otherwise she would be questioning any alliances that they had by now. Another voice suddenly came into the picture and the she-cat shifted her gaze once more. Rather than the source of the voice being Blazingstar or Fallenstar, Auroraflame was relieved to see that it was Grousestar. Hopefully he would be able to calm the other two leaders down. His calming words didn’t appear to work though as Fallenstar spoke again. The RiverClan leader was already riled up, a newly made apprentice would be able to see that. Auroraflame felt the urge to speak up but she decided that she had no say in this. She wasn’t involved in any of this drama so she didn’t have to say anything. This was an argument between the two clans, SkyClan was left out of it and most of her was glad for that.
The deputy’s eyes widened in shock as the ebony tom insulted Blazingstar. Even if she wasn’t a WindClanner, she still found Fallenstar’s words quite offensive and had she been apart of WindClan, she would’ve spoken up in Blazingstar’s defense. But she wasn’t a WindClanner, her loyalty was to SkyClan and Grousestar. Auroraflame turned her body to face the orange tabby expectantly, but before he could respond, Fallenstar continued. He appeared to be directing his words at Grousestar. The she-cat stayed silent and listened as the RiverClan leader growled at her leader. With each word, the stiffer her body became and the quicker the warmth left her expression. The tom cat was just being plainly disrespectful now. At first she’d had no say in this argument, but Fallenstar had insulted Grousestar’s experience and that meant that she absolutely had the right to say something.
“Fallenstar, may I remind you that you’re a new leader here whereas Grousestar has had moons of experience. He was wise to keep his clan out of this and I would suggest you show some respect to him.” She made sure her voice was projected loudly so that Fallenstar couldn’t possibly pretend that he hadn’t heard her. She had kept her voice calm and collected in an attempt to appear harmless, but her icy hues had failed her. With her eyes colder than ever, she gazed up in defiance at Fallenstar.
