High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Ah, Gatherings. Cinderpaw would have normally been apprehensive to go - she had Firekit at home in camp now, so she was pretty apprehensive to leave her alone - but alas, she was... kind of required to go now. Huh. Well, at least she had the withstanding to drag her claws across anyone who felt like breaking tonight's truce now. Not that she would have minded doing it before.

Even then, the idea of having to sit up beside the other medicine cats made the eldest apprentice, uh... nervous, and so did having so many eyes upon her. Even if she was excited to piss off some familiar faces. She spoke an awful lot about keeping the nights' truce, but she wasn't sure if she'd be able to keep her claws out of Ivywhat's-her-name's face if the tabby decided to say anything snide (especially about Sparrowstar). Honestly, the whole gathering truce thing was less about keeping the peace and more about the fact that everyone seemed to only care when it wasn't the weasels killing. Cinderpaw wasn't letting them do whatever they wanted to the forest, anymore, but in order to have any standing in doing that the she-cat couldn't look like a hypocrite.

Tail whisking ominously, she turned to Sundust, who she'd been sure to stick close to. What was she even supposed to do? Sit and look pretty? Say some pious bull? Cinderpaw was long past that point now with the thick scars that banded her body. Stars, how the hell was she a good pick for a medic again? "You gotta keep me from sayin' something stupid when they say something stupid." She muttered, form stiff and ready for the rest of the clans to arrive and shoot her stress into overdrive.
