[Open to anyone!]
Rowanflame's large form ambled into the clearing, his head held high and his posture calm and relaxed. His deep golden eyes investigated the surrounding territory, his mind silently pondering why seastones got no more familiar with each gathering he attended. Rowanflame had only really come to on account of watching out for any unattended apprentices, cats who had wanted to come but had no mentor to bring them - as a result of injuries or other priorities, for example. He supposed looking after them made the rather long journey somewhat worth it, but alas, he could still not force a smile onto his maw. The tension was already thick in the air, and the Somali tom new it would only get thicker when the other clans arrived. He was grateful Passionstar had managed to bring Thunderclan her before the other clans, as he supposed it gave them the upper hand in the sense they would not be watched on their approach but instead be the ones watching. The russet warrior parted from his clan's main placement, wandering over to a more familiar spot in the centre of the clearing. He had always sat here, alongside his cross-clan friends. He doubted they would be at his side for this gathering. It hurt his heart to think such a dreadful thought, but he knew better than to ignore the truth. Sighing, the Somali settled onto his haunches and tried, helplessly, to calm his anxious mind. Things will be fine, Rowan, stop worrying. This gathering will be done and over with before you know it.

The medicine cat padded forward, slipping his way between the groups of both Thunderclan and Windclan. To say the least, Beepaw was a bit uncomfortable, he'd never been around this many felines. He settled himself close to the middle, more in the back. I cant imagine how many cats will be here when the other clans arrive. The blonde tom thought with a hum, shifting slightly. Though, he couldn't complain all that much. This was his first time at a gathering, It's..ok he thought. He curiously looked around at more of the Thunderclan cats, eyes landing on Passionstar, and then Blazingstar. Beepaw looked back at the ground in front of him, his ear swiveling.

[mind if I throw a little apprentice at you? X3]

The silvery tabby wove through the Thunderclan throng until he had escaped the majority of them, only to be hit by Windclan’s breezy scent. Wrinkling his nose, Southpaw ducked past, keeping his head down and movement lithe. Once he had cleared the ground, successfully getting away from the other cats, he found himself close to the seastones.
He let his leafy-green gaze float towards where the leaders were perched, eyes narrowing at the sight of the two ginger tomcats side by side. He then lowered his gaze to the deputies, his claws curling in disgust at the sight of Flintspirit. Great Starclan, he hated that cat. Lastly, the green orbs found sight of the medicine cats. Tallmarsh looked defeated, which Southpaw could understand why. Not that he would give any solace though. Then he glanced at the Windclan medicine cat, eyes narrowing then widening. Don’t recognize him...
Without even thinking Southpaw was on his way towards the young tomcat, stopping right next to him and turning to have a conversation. “Hey, you’re new. What’s your name pipsqueak?” Not that’s Southpaw had any justification to call the cat pipsqueak. The silver apprentice himself was pretty small for his age.

((don't mind at all c: ))

The blonde tom perked up slightly at hearing a voice, which was directed to him. Though, narrowing his eyes as he got called pipsqueak, looking over to see a silvery apprentice who was also a bit small. "I'm glad you noticed I'm new." he meowed, his tone flat, rolling his eyes before looking at the apprentice once again. He might as well talk to the other so he wouldn't get bored and maybe he wouldn't be so bad. "I'm Beepaw, and you?" he asked, once narrowed eyes widening a bit so he didn't seem as annoyed. He took this time to look over the young tom again. Pipsqueak! He's small for his age too! Beepaw gave a silent snort to himself, slight pride poking at his pads. He shifted slightly, bobbed tail twitching. "You're not very big yourself, and you call me Pipsqueak." he snorted again, grinning slightly.

The ThunderClan medicine cat paused at the edge of the Seastones, crouched low to try and avoid the prying eyes of others. She felt like an idiot for thinking that she could show her face at the Gathering. In light of recent events, it was understandable that she got dirty looks from her Clanmates. This was her first time outside of her den for an extended period of time. She still had cobwebs over her eye, cheek, and shoulder from her fights during the battle. Slowly, she was regaining strength after losing so much blood and sustaining the injuries that she did. Thankfully, ThunderClan seemed to be the first Clan here. She hung towards the back of the group of her Clanmates, staying on the edge of the clearing when everyone had made their way in. No need to draw attention to herself. Rather than finding someone to talk to, Tallmarsh decided it would be best to find a seat under a tree on the edge of the clearing and watch the others. Her expression turned sour as her good eye scan the clearing and fell on Passionstar. Memories of the battle came back to her immediately. She found this to be the only thing she could think about. How she was manipulated into thinking that Passionstar was a bad leader, that if she killed him she would be able to intimidate him into stepping down. And some of her actions were justified in her mind then by her ambition and drive for power. She wasn't power-hungry in any sense, but when the possibility of having more authority was set in front of her, she just couldn't refuse. She felt horrible for all of this, of course. She didn't understand why she was still medicine cat--if there was any reason to demote her, this was it. She assumed it was because she was useful as the only one who knew how to heal others in ThunderClan. She could only hope that this would hold out for a little while longer. Her green eyes betrayed her feelings--her hurt, anger, disgust with herself, and her confusion of what to do now. Usually she was great at hiding her emotions, but now she had other things to worry about.

[open! unpleasant encounters for tall are very welcome!! ;3]
( hope you don't mind!)
The cream Molly held her head low ,her ears flattened as she padded into seastones , her nose twitched at The many scents that caught a ride on the breeze . Her green orbs flickered across the many felines with a flat face that barely had any emotion what's so ever. The windclanner exhailed before continuing on into the mass and something within her bones told her that tonight .....isn't gonna be pleasant .....it'll be filled with tension , jumpy cats or hostile ones because let's face it. After the battles that went on inside their own clans did quite the number on many of them so she wouldn't be surprised if cats were still on edge. Dayleg yawned after pushing herself past a few toms that happened to be in her way , she snorted idiots...... however she spotted the thunderclan medicine cat ......what was her name again? ....gears turned in the mollys brain until her ears perked up , Tallmarsh! That's it! She started to feel the tiniest bit of sympathy when she saw Tall .......werent medicine cats supposed to be with the others or their leaders ? She wanted to find out , for her own curiosity . With her mind set, she nodded to herself and padded over to Tallmarsh calmly but it looked........off......dead...... "I never thought I'd see you down here ......aren't you normally with the other medicine cats? " she asked her voice low and monotone as it normally is.

Tallmarsh watched as WindClan rushed in, headed by Blazingstar. She spotted a small tom who matched the description she'd been given of the new medicine cat, but she made no move to talk to him. He probably didn't betray his Clan. While she was still lost in her thought, a monotone voice made her bristle slightly. She curled her long tail around her paws and slowly turned her empty gaze to the speaker. "Considering recent events, I don't have any interest in talking to the other medicine cats," she replied hotly. Her whiskers twitched as she huffed out an impatient sigh. "And I don't see why you're talking to me, either. Go talk to someone worth talking to." With that, her gaze was turned upwards to the night sky, lit by the full moon. It was odd, seeing with only one eye. She still had no idea if she had any sight in her right eye, and it would be a while before she would be able to take the bandage off. She subconsciously reached up to touch the cobwebs over her ruined eye. This was only part of her punishment for what's she'd done to Passionstar. The thought came to her suddenly: would Passionstar tell everyone what she did? She guessed so. It's what she would do if she were leader.

Her ears twitched at the she cats tone , her tail twitched before she gave of the smallest smirk "you've done something haven't you? " she guessed taking the thunderclanners body language and tone into consideration . Tonight could be interesting after all. Her gaze followed the others and looked up at the night sky " and I think I have found someone worth talking to. Scars hold stories , some good some bad....... And I'm interested in a cat that has many scars. " she meowed before looking back down at Tallmarshes eye . She sunk down into a laying position and instantly felt the cold ground it was soothing "besides this is a gathering after all, we can't just hide. It's impossible here . So why not? " she meowed ending with a small shrug.

At the WindClanner's reply, Tallmarsh turned back to Dayleg, her expression fiery. "I think you've forgotten the recent battles. Or did you not hear about the ThunderClan medicine cat who killed her own leader?" she snarled. Her recent injuries were a rather sore topic still, as the aftermath of the recent battle was still fresh on her mind and body. "You could say that all of my scars hold bad stories. I prefer not to think about them." Her long tail unwound from her paws, instead taking to lashing angrily behind her. She got to her feet, hissing as the cut on her shoulder burned. She shouldn't be so harsh on this WindClanner, but she couldn't help it. ThunderClan's medicine cat wasn't in the best state of mind right now. She was beginning to heal--mentally and physically--but she still criticized herself horribly.

she narrowed her eyes a tad bit and soon after rolled them before responding "yeah I forgot mind catching me up on something that I've already been through!?!" her tone sarcastic at first before snapping right back at the medicine cat , gathering or not nothing could hold back this cats grumpiness when it awakens . However her eyes shined at hearing the end , a shine that belonged to a killer , she leaned in closer as her ears swiveled forward "now that I didn't know , Has the medicine cat turned bad?" her tone showing interest before a fake frown showed on her muzzle. This she didn't show sympathy for, one day you'll have to kill someone wether you like it or not, one day murder would have to be the only option . Then her whiskers twitched as she grinned "the bad stories are always the best , dear." she meowed before looking back up at the leaders "your leader looks pretty confident . I see he's made it back to the land of the living already . "she observed .

Tallmarsh padded forward until she was almost nose-for-nose with the she-cat. ”Leave. Me. Alone.” Her voice was low and threatening as a growl rose from her chest. “I don’t have to explain anything to the likes of you.” She wasn’t keen on opening up to this WindClanner. She spun around and began to storm away, tail lashing as she went. “If you want to know what happened, why don’t you just ask Passionstar?” she snarled over her shoulder. She was tired of this. She wasn’t interested in explaining herself. Especially not to a nosy WindClanner who didn’t know her place. She didn’t come here to tell everyone what happened. If Passionstar wanted the other Clans to know, he would. She wasn’t going to tell anyone anything.

( it's ok :3 )

Her ears twitched once the medicine cat was inches from her face, she raised her eyebrow before smiling I like this she cat and when she thinks that , no one's truly free from her . She'll just track them down at the next gathering and pester them more ....that's really the only time aside from finding her true love that she will show emotion , Her head tilted " oh come on I'm just playing with you . And that bad mood isn't gonna make me leave .yet." she meowed before licking her left paw gingerly. She hummed though "you see I would but, I don't think any warrior or apprentice at a gathering has walked up to a leader from another clan and has freely talked to them. Any other time would be seen as trespassing . " and with that she looked back at Tallmarsh "anywho , besides that. This is a gathering, how about just a nice conversation? Besides I'm bored, your probably bored as well. " she asked calmly .

Tigerslash made his way into the Gathering, eyeing the other Clan with mild contempt. He couldn't find it in himself to be respectful to them unless they proved themselves worthy of that respect. And so far, in the tabby's mind, they hadn't earned it. He settled himself in a somewhat secluded corner of the area, a shaded corner surrounded by cats that he could vaguely recognize. The tom huffed before waiting for the leaders to speak, his paws digging into the earth somewhat anxiously as the scents of the Clans mixed within the area.

Azaleapaw rushed into the area with bright, excited eyes. The tall apprentice's ears pricked slightly as they gazed around, trying to spot a cat from another Clan. Despite the tensions, Azaleapaw was still eager to make friends with the other apprentices from the other Clans. They decided to choose an open space and wait to spot someone, their tail swishing slightly. They wished Zinniapaw had come, but she had made some excuse about having to finish some sort of work. They snorted slightly at the thought. Only their sister would choose boring Clan duties over the Gathering

Tansy'Jaw padded into the large area where all the clans gathered for the gathering, her eyes darted around uneasily as she looked around- she wasn't very fond of being around so many cats. The golden tabby breathed a sigh as she padded towards a shaded corner, she stopped slightly seeing Tiger'Slash, brightening up she padded over to him. The Molly then spoke softly as she stood beside him."It's quite crowded isn't it?".She gave a small smile to the Tom as he looked at her before she sat down next to him.

As Riverclan arrived at the gathering the ginger molly at the back limped slowly towards a copse of elder bushes. Her right shoulder ached but the elder had agreed to come anyway, the limp wasn't significant when she was swimming anyway. Although she rarely did that anymore, with others to patrol the borders and hunt the fish. The ginger she-cat finally reached the copse and sat down in the cover, making sure to stretch out her stiff front leg. She looked around and saw that Windclan and Thunderclan had already arrived but there was no sign of Shadowclan nor Skyclan. It was normal, she thought, Shadowclan are always late to the gatherings. It was unusual of Skyclan being late, but maybe the other clans were just early?

Spottedflight looked up, hoping to spot the dark ginger fur of her littermate, Russetwind, from Windclan. She hadn't seem him in seasons - not that she actually wanted to - but now she was an elder and had been for quite some time and she missed her littermate. Last time they'd seen eye to eye was back when they were both warriors, not that long after she had left Windclan and gotten her warrior name Spottedflight as a member of Riverclan. Her sleek but ragged fur had taken a turn for the worse, crawling through a mass of brambles to get to a patch of sunshine earlier that day. She hoped that the other elders would join her at this little copse of elder bushes, it was a nice place to sit and the bracken and moss that surrounded it made for a nice resting spot and a good place to share the news between the clans.

The red molly gave up looking for her littermate and began washing her fur, her grey muzzle showing clearly in the moonlight. No other elders had approached yet but she assumed they were still finding their way across the large space that was the seastones. Resting her head on her paws the ginger she-cat just watched as cats flickered in the shadows, as old friends met old friends and as apprentices gathered to share moves. She just needed the other elders to arrive and her littermate too.

Snailpaw walked away from her adopted brother and padded to a patch where there were no signs of cats. The apprentice had a face deformity to where one eye was lower than the other and her nose was small. She couldn't smell anything, so she hoped nobody would sneak up on her. Snailpaw flickered her tail and sat down by herself, not feeling comfortable to go and talk to anyone else.
Although he imagined this moment as being an exciting night of meeting new faces and learning about other Clans, this... wasn't aligning with his mental script, he hadn't expected his mentor to meet an unfortunate demise that still weighed heavily on his mind. However, he tried to focus on being here and in the present rather than in his thoughts as he trekked toward the Seastones from RiverClan territory.

When he arrived, it was more overwhelming than he remembered and while he was distractedly looking around, he clumsily bumped into another cat, causing him to rear back sheepishly. "Uh, sorry," he meowed, clearing his throat and pawing at the ground. "About-- y'know, bumping into you. I just... there's a lot going on here and I wasn't watching--" Stopping his ramble there, he inwardly cursed his own awkwardness before trying again, "Hey, I'm Fawnpaw."

Snailpaw felt herself space out a bit, her mind wandering else where. She felt as a cat ran into her. The Windclan molly looked over at Fawnpaw, her pelt tingling. Surprisingly she remained calm even though usually when a cat bumped into her she would growl, but nothing came out like that. Snailpaw dipped her head in greeting, wanting to show she wasn't angry with him for running into her.

The apprentice didn't know which clan he was from due to not be able to scent it. "It's Fine. I was distracted as well. My thoughts are bugging me.", she meowed. Snailpaw wrapped her tail around her paws and made herself comfortable. "I'm Snailpaw. What clan are you from? I can't smell, so I don't know.", she meowed, realizing she was rambling on as well.

Caught off guard by the dip of the head, he returned it after a second of hesitation and wondered if that was what he was supposed to do. He'd only been to one other gathering during his apprenticeship, one he'd sneaked into and was subsequently dragged away from to ensure he didn't infect others with the his cough. When Fawnpaw raised his head to truly look at her, he was mildly surprised by the difference in her features compared to the standard cats', and his puzzled expression gave away his perception of it.

Brightening at the response and finding familiarity in her dilemma, he was quick to say, "Yeah, me too. It happens to me all the time." And he'd never met another daydreamer, so this was a rare opportunity; already, his thoughts of his mentor were fading. "Oh, right. I'm from RiverClan," he said. "You're from...?" A pinch of embarrassment trickled through him at having to ask, he didn't really have any excuse not to know, unlike her. "My mentor never, uh, showed me around or anything. So I don't know what the different scents are, but if it helps... you smell nice?" Kind of fresh and free of the forest smell, maybe that was indicative of WindClan.

Snailpaw watched him dip his head back at her. She let out a silent chuckle that only she could hear. The molly had only been at the gathering a couple times after always not wanting cats outside Windclan to see what she looked like. She had been invited to come before, but always refused to leave her clans territory. Today Snailpaw wanted to try something different for a change.

Snailpaw felt his eyes burn into her face, becoming embarrassed. Maybe it hadn't been a good idea after all. The apprentice felt herself relax after feeling him brighten up. "I'm from Windclan and have been since I was born. Has your mentor taught you anything?", she meowed, curiosity filled her voice. Snailpaw's mentor was sometimes busy, but still managed to teach her a few things.

Snailpaw watched him dip his head back at her. She let out a silent chuckle that only she could hear. The molly had only been at the gathering a couple times after always not wanting cats outside Windclan to see what she looked like. She had been invited to come before, but always refused to leave her clans territory. Today Snailpaw wanted to try something different for a change.

Snailpaw felt his eyes burn into her face, becoming embarrassed. Maybe it hadn't been a good idea after all. The apprentice felt herself relax after feeling him brighten up. "I'm from Windclan and have been since I was born. Has your mentor taught you anything?", she meowed, curiosity filled her voice. Snailpaw's mentor was sometimes busy, but still managed to teach her a few things.
"WindClan? I guess I don't know much about WindClan," he said, slightly disappointed in his lack of knowledge since he prided himself in his intellect, particularly when he didn't feel as though he had anything else going for him. "The... golden tabby is your leader, right?" he inquired, head tipping toward the Seastones where the first few leaders were waiting for others to arrive.

At the subject of his mentor, Fawnpaw shifted his weight, pawed at the ground. "About that... I," he hesitated, unsure if he should be telling someone from another clan this, but his naivete got the best of him. It was probably harmless. "I didn't really learn anything from him, and he recently... died, so yeah. I haven't gotten assigned a new one yet." Honestly, he wasn't sure he was ready for it either after the traumatic nature of the loss. Realizing he'd put the conversation in an awkward spot again, he quickly added, "I hope things are going better with you and your mentor...?"

Spottedbird made her way over to Rowenflame. Since the other clans weren't here yet she couldn't hang out with her friends from other clans, just yet. Rowenflame looked a bit anxious, and she couldn't blame him. She honestly felt the same way. She knew the tensions would be high, but she hoped there would be no fighting. "Hey," she said when she got near.
Rowanflame had been in deep thought when Spottedbird approached him, the large feline pondering the possible outcomes of this gathering. His silent prayers to Starclan would have to wait, as he cast a polite smile in the familiar she-cat's direction. "Spottedbird, I didn't know you were attending the gathering, what a lovely surprise!" He exclaimed, his red-orange features alight with amiableness. It was nice to have his attention drawn elsewhere. He glanced around the clearing, his eyes suddenly darting towards the sound of unfamiliar voices; Windclan. Blazingstar's arrival made Rowanflame's fur bristle, but he forced himself to remain calm. Passionstar was picking no fights, so nor would he. He watched as an unfamiliar sea of pelts washed into the clearing, cats scattering about to their own preferred places of seating. He drew his attention back to Spottedbird, giving her an unapolegtic look for his sudden lack of attention, "How are things with you?" He inquired, trying his best to make small talk.

[Sundapple; Windclan - Open to anyone!]
Sundapple strode into the clearing, an aura of confidence and carelessness floating around her. She wasn't particularly thrilled to be at such a boring event, but she couldn't say no to having the chance to use her charms on unfamiliar cats. Thunderclan's crowd caught her attention, her golden eyes scanning the sea of felines for any that caught her interest particularly. None did, unfortunately. But alas, she still made her way over to them and made herself very comfortable in the very middle of their arrangement. Sundapple was addicted to attention, and she knew how best to get it. She was a natural flirt, and given she had nothing better to do at this gathering she saw it best to keep herself entertained by doing what she did best. Now she just needed the right tom-cat.

bounding in after the other riverclan cats, rosewater watched her surroundings carefully. she had not expected to be chosen to be taken to the gathering, as it had been quite a while since she had been to her last one. tail dragging along behind her, the grey molly did not mirror the chipper attitude of her clanmates. her gaze turned to remain glued to the ground, avoiding all forms of eye contact with the other clans.
rosewater sat down around the edge of the clearing. her paws kneaded at the ground distractedly, the chatter around her being drowned out by her own thoughts. the loudness of the clearing nearly frightened the molly off, though she forced herself to remain where she was. her nose twitched. it was almost as though she were being closed in, surrounded by masses of bodies all trying to fit into one clearing.
her singular ear flattened back against her head, a frown plastering itself over her lips. she, quite frankly, did not want to be at the gathering. but she has accepted the offer, despite regretting it now. rosewater hadn't even forgiven her clanmates for the attack that happened, much less the other clans. her trust was teetering along the edge of breaking, and she didn't know what to do.
the gathering will be fine. it is a time of peace.
her nose wrinkled as all the scents of the clans mingled around her, stifling a gag. rosewater finally turned her gaze to look around the clearing, seeing that it was alive with cats chatting and catching up. skyclan had not arrived yet, she noticed, but she did not mind that much. rosewater simply scooted further away from the others, blanketing herself in the shadows, and awaited the beginning of the gathering.

Tansy'Jaw padded into the large area where all the clans gathered for the gathering, her eyes darted around uneasily as she looked around- she wasn't very fond of being around so many cats. The golden tabby breathed a sigh as she padded towards a shaded corner, she stopped slightly seeing Tiger'Slash, brightening up she padded over to him. The Molly then spoke softly as she stood beside him."It's quite crowded isn't it?".She gave a small smile to the Tom as he looked at her before she sat down next to him.

Tigerslash glanced over as a cat sat next to him, almost immediately recognizing the she-cat as Tansyjaw. "Yes, it's always a bit...much, with all of the Clans, but it's nice to have at least some semblance of peace for once," he replied. He wasn't an overly pacifist cat, but being able to converse freely among his allies and cats from other Clans, as well as learning about news from other Clans, was somewhat interesting to him. "I suppose it's going to be somewhat tense, with the recent battle and all," he added with a flick of his ear.

Mistpaw a grey furred apprentice with blind blue eyes trotted to the gathering, she was a Windclanner. She hated being twitchy and scared easily. She hated the scent of all the clans mixed together. It frusterated her knowing that she was a coward and a fearful apprentice.

|| Airabelle - Kind of forgot this for a few hours ahaha, - Remember... Raven's blind. ||

As the coal black tom made his way down the way from the pine forest, in the middle of the group, he picked up loads of strange scents. It was obvious that it was from the other clans and he recognized the scent of Thunderclan, Riverclan and Windclan. They weren't last to arrive but they we're on time. Which was good. The blind tom walked slowly across the clearing pausing now and again to make sure that he was steady on his feet and that there were no stones or pebbles or branches in his way that would make him trip. With roughly 2 moons of complete darkness Ravenvine had gotten used to it. Or as used you can get when you once had the gift of sight. It was strange for him though, to be without his loyal Tuftbreeze at his side. She was the one he could always count on to make sure that there were none of those forbidden creatures near him. Making sure to choose a spot that was as far away from the trees as possible the tom settled down, resting his face on his paws, staring at nothing but listening to the paw steps of others and scenting the scents of the different clans. Hearing paw steps coming closer to him, the tom sat up, his scared face facing away from where he had the idea the other cat was coming from.

[OPEN TO APPRENTICES; GROUP RP WELCOME!]

As Owlpaw made his way in with the crowd of Windclan felines, his eyes glimmered in awe at the Seastones - this having been the first time he attended a gathering. All the other times he had been too young, or simply to immature. Maybe. Though that didn't matter! He was here now and he was ready to witness the gathering for himself, not listen to the chatter of the queens. Squeezing unceremoniously through the crowd of warriors, elders, and everything inbetween, Owlpaw decided on a sandy outcrop near a couple other felines that could have also been apprentices. With a soft giggle, the brown apprentice wiggled the sand in between his toes.
________________________________________

[OPEN TO ANYONE!]

Ah.. Seastones. The smell of the sea was always relaxing to Hazelflower, not to mention how it was open like the moor. Come to think of it, this would have been her first gathering since she left the nursery! Now that Fallowpaw was an apprentice, Hazelflower was slowly coming to terms with everything she was able to do. Either way, with the recent battle it was hard for the warrior not to cast a suspicious glance over the group of cats. Swallowing back her worry, she watched as Blazingstar ascended on top of stones before taking a seat closer to the front.
________________________________________

[OPEN TO ANYONE]

Frostflight hadn't been to sure if he had wanted to attend the gathering, simply because he had been so busy it was almost painful, but in the end the silver tabby resigned to the fact that it would be better to go than to hear the choppy, unorganized gossip. Still, seeing the Seastones from a distance seemed to revitalize him as he picked up his step, trotting in alongside his fellow clanmates of Riverclan. His icy gaze slipped to the view the sea, the rising moonlight reflecting off the gentle waves which in turn pulled a small smile from the tom. A beautiful night for a gathering... Oh, Thunderclan had gotten here before them... and Windclan too! He wondered if the feline he had fought so many moons ago when they had been pushed from their home was here - perhaps he could have an actual conversation with him, but from his quick glance around he couldn't immediately pick out his face. Instead, Frostflight decided to settle by a group of Thunderclan cats.
________________________________________

[OPEN TO YOUNG WARRIORS OF ANY CLAN!]

Blackbird could barely feel the weariness in his paws as Shadowclan finally made their way to the Seastones. So far, he had tried to make it his goal to attend every gathering - except for the one time he had back talked his mentor, oops - since he had been made an apprentice and now that he was a warrior, it meant he could come as often as he wanted! Had any of his siblings come as well? This was a gathering, what was he thinking? He could speak with them anytime he wanted in camp - now was his time to meet new cats! Without a second thought, Blackbird took note of the section Windystar had signaled them to, but instead mingled his way through the crowd in search of felines to talk to.

Tansy'Jaw nodded as she spoke softly."Yes, Even I'm a little uneasy if I'm being completely honest".In saying that she glanced to the side as she saw a cat pass by her, the golden tabby didn't handle large crowds very well- of course she never showed how uncomfortable she was but nonetheless she still wasn't fond of it."...I hope the gathering remains this way- somewhat peaceful and all...it wouldn't be good if a fight broke out...".she spoke in a low but soft whisper to the Tiger'Slash as she glanced around.

flipheart noticed a warrior that wasn't currently conversing with anyone; an opportunity, to put it simply. with a small sniff and a long few seconds of maneuvering through other cats, he reached her. the muttering and gossiping of others filled his ears and gave him a slight headache, although that didn't stop him whatsoever. "hello!" flipheart greeted, dipping his head respectfully. the male gave her a quick once-over, absorbing her character, and sat down comfortably a few pawsteps away, still awaiting response to his greeting. realizing that he hadn't introduced herself and might've seemed aggressively friendly, he spoke. "i'm flipheart!" the warrior said in a happy-go-lucky voice, as his personality might've warned. flipheart was a very extroverted and nosy cat, to say the least, and it was taking all of his energy not to get curious and up in this stranger's business, as he typically did.

Graypaw looked around the gathering place clearing, his eyes looking for one cat specifically. He wanted to find Sunpaw now to tell her that there was no way for them to be together. He couldn't leave his family or his friends and he wished there was another way.

The molly understood why he had asked about her leader. She felt a little guilty when she heard that his mentor was no longer with him and that he currently didn't have one.

Snailpaw looked at him wondering what would happen if her mentor had died. She tried not think about it too much when he spoke again. " She is wonderful, but I doubt she wants to train me even underneath her fur she probably sees me as a nusince. ", she meowed. Snailpaw ignore what she just said and positive thoughts flew through her brain.

Singingstone rested on a bare patch of grass, one very hard to find in such a crowded area. The small, grey molly was almost gagging at the scent of all the different clans. Singingstone sighed and tried to make herself comfortable by grooming her chest. Her own scent offered her some solace as she licked at her chest.

Singingstone often didn't bother listening to the leaders in general, as she either already knew this or didn't really care. It vexed her that they were forced to sit in a relatively small space, and have to listen to one leader or another blab on about what's going on.

"Look, he wasn't the best mentor anyway." Leopardshine's death was still unfortunate and had him experiencing waves of grief, but it wasn't a particularly personal blow to him. "Sorry, I probably shouldn't have said that," he said as an afterthought in regards to the passing of his mentor. "I didn't mean to bring you down too."

Moving on to acknowledge what she said about her mentor, Fawnpaw cocked his head in critical curiosity. "Wait, what? Why wouldn't she want to train you?" he asked, genuinely puzzled. "I don't think you're a nuisance." She was nothing like him-- he was always eager, asking questions, underfoot. Snailpaw seemed sweet.

Snailpaw felt a little awkward until she found something else for them to talk about. "Is the riverclan big or is it a great size? Do you like to get your fur wet?", she asked.

Searching for the reciprocal question, he asked, "Do you like... getting the wind in your fur? Sorry, I don't know what WindClanners do except chase rabbits. Aren't you guys afraid of living like that? Like, out in the open.. What if a giant bird is looking for a snack?"

A black She-cat sat on her own in the crowd, glancing around nervously with her fiery eyes. This was her first gathering ever. The shadowclan warrior had always refused to come to one because the idea of socialising and sitting with strange cats she'd never met before was terrifying to her. After a stern talking to from her father she reluctantly decided to come to tonight's gathering.
Don't make eye contact with any cat, don't look at them, don't think about them and they'll leave you alone. Come on Hollydawn, you can do this.
It was quite a chilly night. Hollydawn had to fluff out her dark fur to keep warm. There were dozens of cats beside her, causing her to shuffle to an empty space to her left. It was a group of she-cats, probably older than her, gossiping and sharing tongues.
Is everyone here so unfriendly? Do they just stick to their groups and ignore cats that are on their own? One of the reasons I came here in the first place was to make friends but I guess not...

Really, he knew she was right about that and acknowledged it with a small nod. “Thanks, I’ll… consider that.” He hadn’t ventured far from camp lately after the loss of his mentor, simply feeling no motivation for anything else.

“The bigger prey?” he questioned, intrigued but unsure of what that would be referring to. “So, really big rabbits? Or…” Fawnpaw wondered what kind of prey animals the moor was home to, if there were things bigger than rabbits running around. “It’s kind of neat that you already know how to hunt,” he meowed, then tilted his ears back in slight embarrassment, “like I said, my mentor didn’t teach me that much. I still don’t know how, not… for real.” His only experience was kit games where they would pounce on a leaf. Flicking his eyes back to her, he said, "I bet you're a good hunter, even without being able to smell."

Her kit is older now, so she started to take me out to see how much my dad had taught me.", she meowed. The molly flinched when she spoke of her real father and how he wanted to be in her life when her mom didn't.

Snailpaw listened to him closely, not getting side tracked the whole time he spoke. "Like hawks and Eagles, so that they don't get the kits. I love to hunt more than I like to fight, so I don't go in many battles.", she meowed. Prey was easy to catch since she could hear them, but when fighting a cat she would never be able to scent when one was behind her when they sneak up on her.

Snailpaw nodded, "My biological father taught me how to hunt while my mentor was in the nursery with her kits. Her kit is older now, so she started to take me out to see how much my dad had taught me.", she meowed. The molly flinched when she spoke of her real father and how he wanted to be in her life when her mom didn't.

Snailpaw listened to him closely, not getting side tracked the whole time he spoke. "Like hawks and Eagles, so that they don't get the kits. I love to hunt more than I like to fight, so I don't go in many battles.", she meowed. Prey was easy to catch since she could hear them, but when fighting a cat she would never be able to scent when one was behind her when they sneak up on her. Snailpaw's ears were better than her nose.
“Your… biological father,” he said slowly, registering that but not pressing for further information, assuming she would offer it if she wanted. It seemed to be a sensitive subject indicated by her flinch, one he didn’t think would be wise to tread on. “But that’s, y’know, great. That you learned how to hunt,” he said, clearing his throat and shuffling his paws. “I guess I could try asking my dads to teach me sometime, they might be willing.”

Nodding to show he understood, the idea of hunting large birds was fascinating to him. “Wait, do you guys actually eat them?” Fawnpaw meowed, unable to decide between being startled, dubious, or concerned. “And honestly, that sounds kind of scary, hunting a huge bird like that.” It was enough to make him shudder at the thought, seeing some fly overhead in RiverClan on rare occasions. Her mention of battles had him even more intrigued, and he asked curiously, “Have you been in a battle?”

Rowanflame had been in deep thought when Spottedbird approached him, the large feline pondering the possible outcomes of this gathering. His silent prayers to Starclan would have to wait, as he cast a polite smile in the familiar she-cat's direction. "Spottedbird, I didn't know you were attending the gathering, what a lovely surprise!" He exclaimed, his red-orange features alight with amiableness. It was nice to have his attention drawn elsewhere. He glanced around the clearing, his eyes suddenly darting towards the sound of unfamiliar voices; Windclan. Blazingstar's arrival made Rowanflame's fur bristle, but he forced himself to remain calm. Passionstar was picking no fights, so nor would he. He watched as an unfamiliar sea of pelts washed into the clearing, cats scattering about to their own preferred places of seating. He drew his attention back to Spottedbird, giving her an unapolegtic look for his sudden lack of attention, "How are things with you?" He inquired, trying his best to make small talk.

[Sundapple; Windclan - Open to anyone!]
Sundapple strode into the clearing, an aura of confidence and carelessness floating around her. She wasn't particularly thrilled to be at such a boring event, but she couldn't say no to having the chance to use her charms on unfamiliar cats. Thunderclan's crowd caught her attention, her golden eyes scanning the sea of felines for any that caught her interest particularly. None did, unfortunately. But alas, she still made her way over to them and made herself very comfortable in the very middle of their arrangement. Sundapple was addicted to attention, and she knew how best to get it. She was a natural flirt, and given she had nothing better to do at this gathering she saw it best to keep herself entertained by doing what she did best. Now she just needed the right tom-cat.

Spottedbird sat down next to Rowenflame just as the Windclan cat were entering the clearing. Her attention was captured for moment, then when she turned back to him, he was smiling at her. She giggled a bit then smiled back. "Pretty good," she responded. "The warm weather is nice isent it?"

Graypaw pressed his nose to her fur. "I think I love you Sunpaw. I would do anything for you, but I can't leave my clan, so if you want to join my clan I will welcome you.", he meowed, giving her muzzle a nuzzle.
Sunpaw sniffed. "I love you too." She meowed.

"Yes, I suppose it is," He replied, rather absentmindedly as his golden gaze searched the now full clearing - when had all these cats gotten here? Had he really been that deep in thought? His gaze flickered over to the apprentices he was minding, pleased to see that it appeared they'd managed to make friends. He remembered his first gathering, how new and exciting everything was. How he thought everyone would want to be his friend. If only things were as peaceful as they were all those moons ago He wished, sadly, looking up at the clan leaders for only a moment. He gave Passionstar a confident nod, unsure whether the leader had even seen his remark - it didn't matter either way, it was obvious his loyalty and trust was completely placed within the tom. He was a good leader, and her served Thunderclan well. "Windystar..I forgot he was Shadowclan's leader now. I didn't attend the last gathering, after all, so I'd only heard stories of what happened. Wow, I never imagined he'd become leader so soon," He thought aloud, curious to get Spottedbird's opinion. He'd always liked Windystar - he was polite, and seemed to have a good moral compass. He was certainly one of the better leaders, not that such a title was hard to claim given his competiton included Blazingstar and Fallenstar.

Tansy'Jaw nodded as she spoke softly."Yes, Even I'm a little uneasy if I'm being completely honest".In saying that she glanced to the side as she saw a cat pass by her, the golden tabby didn't handle large crowds very well- of course she never showed how uncomfortable she was but nonetheless she still wasn't fond of it."...I hope the gathering remains this way- somewhat peaceful and all...it wouldn't be good if a fight broke out...".she spoke in a low but soft whisper to the Tiger'Slash as she glanced around.

Tigerslash nodded as she spoke. "It can be a bit...tense, when there's been a recent battle," he agreed. He followed her
gaze, watching as a cat passed by them. He didn't pay them much attention. He wasn't sure who they were, and he couldn't bring himself to care very much. Tigerslash didn't like being surrounded by so many cats. When he did go to the Gathering, he chose a secluded corner most of the time and kept his answers short. "I doubt anyone would attempt to start one. It'd be foolish to try to start a fight at a Gathering. I'm sure the leaders will attempt to keep peace," he replied, though he wasn't certain.

[OPEN TO APPRENTICES; GROUP RP WELCOME!]

As Owlpaw made his way in with the crowd of Windclan felines, his eyes glimmered in awe at the Seastones - this having been the first time he attended a gathering. All the other times he had been too young, or simply to immature. Maybe. Though that didn't matter! He was here now and he was ready to witness the gathering for himself, not listen to the chatter of the queens. Squeezing unceremoniously through the crowd of warriors, elders, and everything inbetween, Owlpaw decided on a sandy outcrop near a couple other felines that could have also been apprentices. With a soft giggle, the brown apprentice wiggled the sand in between his toes.

Minkpaw need up sitting in sandy patch her thin brow grey tail twitching. Why was she allowed to come? She's gone against her Clan just because some DF cat told her it was the only way she'd ever be useful. The young apprentice had gone against the only cats who ever treated her like family. Fernpaw, Flintspirit, Spiderpaw, she'd been so mouse brained! As a Wind Clan apprentice broke through the crowd and found himself in front of her with a giggle she looked up with pale green eyes. He seemed very care free and excited, was it his first gathering to? Maybe it was best to put the past in the past? "Hi," She greeted her voice quite. She wasn't good around new cats. "Who are you? " Minnows asked nose twitching confirming he was indeed a WindClan cat.

Taking a deep breath the pale grey dusted molly followed the rest of WindClan cats. She was a bit nervous, last gathering she was at Shadepaw had been with her. Though she hasn't seen her best friend in the crowd of WindClan cats and it wasn't like she could call for her. [I]Maybe Buttercupbreeze didn't let her go because she was in trouble, she wasn't made a warrior with me either She thought glancing around. The newly made warrior was worried that she's end up separated from cats who knew her and would be assumed to be stuck up. Cats always assumed the worse of her.
Tail twitching Silentwhisper continued on bright blue eyes looking got someone she knew. Eaglesoul! I thought I saw him! A quite purr rumbled in her chest. Slipping between Clanmates the molly came up to the dark tabby's side. Flicking her soft gray tail over his side she nudged him lightly. That was her greeting these days, he couldn't see her and she couldn't speak to him. She just hoped he'd realizes it was her. How's he manage to get here without my help? Did someone else help him? That thought made her feel disappointed. It wasn't like she was to busy for him, she would have helped.
Her feelings soon changes as she realized they where a bland and more cat in the middle of a gathering. A huge open space that neither had been in moons. Silentwhisper just stopped, making sure to be at Eaglesoul's side, her Clanmates where already mingling with the other Clans. Uh, what do we do? She wasn't sure what to do. Glancing at the tabby beside her she wondered what they could do. Silent was sure this wasn't going to be easy.

Eaglesoul didn't know how he had arrived at the gathering. The tom had been standing in the middle of the clearing when all of a sudden cats were swarming him and he found himself forced to move... and now he was here. At his second gathering. He didn't remember the layout at all, only that it was a place with some big rocks for the leaders to sit on. Suddenly feeling a fur against his he relaxed at an instant. He knew the structure of Silentwhisper's muzzle and the soft streaks of her grey slightly fluffy tail. "Silent!" he breathed out, relieved. At least there was someone he knew here... Like he knew the other windclanners well enough, but he was still so unsure on how to even walk properly that he spent most of his time either sleeping or slowly working along with Silent. He just wished that they got more time together... They needed or rather, he needed it. Silent was the only one who actually had decided to help him, their medicine cat passing away soon after his injury and now it was Beepaw who had no clue on how to help a blind cat who had no clue on how to help himself.

Nudging her gently he said, "Do you see any spots that are comfortable? I know the elders will take the best spots, because of their aching bones - and minds, though you didn't hear me say that - yet a space would be nice to rest in." His own muscles were already fatigued. He wasn't used to walking so far, he hadn't even left camp in moons because of his 'injury.' While waiting for her to spot a suitable space he sat down on the ground his tail curling against Silentwhisper as he rested his head on her shoulders while purring slowly.

"Where were you? I wasn't aware you were supposed to go to the gathering?" He asked, still purring. From what he knew, which wasn't much, Silentwhisper hadn't been to a gathering since she was an apprentice. Then he remembered and he nearly slapped himself across the face. "Oh Starclan, I am sorry. Blazingstar will mention that you've become a warrior. Congratulations by the way," he said lifting his head to give her a lick across the ears.

We haven't had a chance to chat for a while".she spoke softly as she looked at him with her blue eyes.

Wildheart sat quietly, waiting for the leaders to begin their announcements. She was careful not to interact with other cats, she was very loyal to RiverClan, her Clan. She knew not to make any friends in other Clans, she might have to face them in battle one day. Why can't the leader's just get on with their announcements?! Wildheart asked herself. She planned on not trying to talk to other cats, but if another started talking to her, it would be rude not to answer them back. Wildheart sighed, and started grooming herself, scanning the area for her Clan-mates.

Winter stepped into the clearing, his eyes narrowed. He stared at the other cats around him. Oh goodness.. So many cats!He noticed a she cat alone. "Hm? Hey there! I'm winter!" He called. The new ShadowClan cat didn't kno the rules at gatherings. "In shadowclan i learned a new battle move! Want to see it?" He wagged his tail like a dog.

Lionstorm bounded into the clearing after Fallenstar, ears twitching as he looked around the swarm of cats. He loved Gatherings, they were a perfect time to meet new cats and see how the other Clans were doing. Well, maybe not WindClan-- the forest would be better off without them. No one wanted the rabbit-chasers, anyway. They were more trouble than they were worth.

[open]

[still open]

Many of the present cats seemed content on chatting to each other without him, so Lionstorm weaved his way through the crowd to take a spot close to the base of the stones. He liked being close to the leaders-- it was easier to hear them and he enjoyed observing the tensions between them.

"This should be fun!" he commented whole-heartedly to no one in particular. "Grousestar looks like a pile of dung. I wonder where's Auroraflame? She's usually here."

Rabbitfluff was among the crowd, sticking closer to SkyClan now that they had joined the others at Seastones. Already, the cats of the clearing were bustling and chattering to one another, but this particularly refined warrior sat with his back upright, attention ahead. Surely, the gathering would begin any moment now, and he didn't wish to be part of the interruption. However, Rabbitfluff's elegance and delicate demeanor were shattered by an irritating yowl from close beside him, his eyes narrowing instantly at the brutish figure. Disgraceful. What an absolute ruffian, and he was offended by his callous remark. "Oh, of all the nerve!" he hissed, ears flattening. "You ought to keep those unequivocally savage thoughts to yourself, you... you creature!" With that, he rose to his paws and padded away haughtily, chin in the air as he searched for a spot to relocate to.

Delta
still an apprentice, she had always thought it would be her first gathering as a warrior. how was she to know what would happen, everything was just bad. scarred more then some of the elders that were sharing tongues she looked around trying to find a clanmate or maybe even her mother in the crowed. as she saw grousestar arrive and became a bit happier. everything that has been happening between her and glazewing was odd, it didn’t feel ok. she slowly pricked over her small frame moving to squirm between all of the other cats that lined the hollow, it was their meeting spot. she sat there for a moment not noticing him so she picked herself up and walked over to the tree that they chatted under and waited. her tail across her paws she watched the rest of the gathering from a far thinking about what she was seeing as she looked on. ‘these past few days all the clans have suffered from the attack’ the entire gathering felt so somber as she looked around trying to find the bright tom.
in the past moon moonpaw has made a huge mistake and she knew that but glaze would still love her... right. looking for him she noticed a bright white shape and called out from under the tree “Glazewing!” she said not nearly as excitedly as she had in the past. looking at her paws she could tell something about this meeting was going to be different. they weren’t allowed to show affection for each other they were still in different clans a fact that had been making Moon question herself to extreme extents. she sat there waiting and hoping that the tom had heard what she said if not she would end up sitting there alone.:

flipheart noticed a warrior that wasn't currently conversing with anyone; an opportunity, to put it simply. with a small sniff and a long few seconds of maneuvering through other cats, he reached her. the muttering and gossiping of others filled his ears and gave him a slight headache, although that didn't stop him whatsoever. "hello!" flipheart greeted, dipping his head respectfully. the male gave her a quick once-over, absorbing her character, and sat down comfortably a few pawsteps away, still awaiting response to his greeting. realizing that he hadn't introduced herself and might've seemed aggressively friendly, he spoke. "i'm flipheart!" the warrior said in a happy-go-lucky voice, as his personality might've warned. flipheart was a very extroverted and nosy cat, to say the least, and it was taking all of his energy not to get curious and up in this stranger's business, as he typically did.

As the other feline approached Hazelflower, her gaze softened from its tense stare and she offered a friendly smile as the warrior plopped down beside her. She couldn't remember ever seeing Flipheart before - and it was clear that he didn't seem to know her either considering the way he so enthusiastically introduced himself... and well of course his smell. "Hello Flipheart," She meowed politely, meeting his gaze. "Nice to meet you! I'm Hazelflower." With the intermingling of scents around the Seastones, the molly found it difficult to decipher which clan he was from and for a moment the unease made her hackles rise slightly, but she quickly forced them flat. Don't be so impolite! She mentally scolded herself, wrapping her tail curtly around her paws. "Having a good time?"

( it's ok :3 )

Her ears twitched once the medicine cat was inches from her face, she raised her eyebrow before smiling I like this she cat and when she thinks that , no one's truly free from her . She'll just track them down at the next gathering and pester them more ....that's really the only time aside from finding her true love that she will show emotion , Her head tilted " oh come on I'm just playing with you . And that bad mood isn't gonna make me leave .yet." she meowed before licking her left paw gingerly. She hummed though "you see I would but, I don't think any warrior or apprentice at a gathering has walked up to a leader from another clan and has freely talked to them. Any other time would be seen as trespassing . " and with that she looked back at Tallmarsh "anywho , besides that. This is a gathering, how about just a nice conversation? Besides I'm bored, your probably bored as well. " she asked calmly .

Tallmarsh sat down several tail-lengths away, knowing it wasn't far enough away. This cat was just going to keep bothering her. "Fine," she spat, "But we're not talking about the battle or my scars." She threw a hard glare in the direction of the WindClanner. The medicine cat wondered why she'd even come in the first place. Passionstar and Flintspirit were obviously upset with her, along with the rest of ThunderClan. She curled her long tail around her paws with a sigh.

"yeah, other than the fact that all of these noises are giving me an unwanted headache," he responded, attempting to make eye contact with the molly in order to see her reaction. "how about you?" the warrior questioned, whiskers twitching in an interested manner. "sorry if i seem a bit rude asking this, but from which clan are you from? i can't tell with all of these distorted scents," flipheart enquired reluctantly and with great disinclination. even he knew that the question might seem a bit out-of-place, although that didn't stop him from asking; flipheart was curious.

The blonde tom perked up slightly at hearing a voice, which was directed to him. Though, narrowing his eyes as he got called pipsqueak, looking over to see a silvery apprentice who was also a bit small. "I'm glad you noticed I'm new." he meowed, his tone flat, rolling his eyes before looking at the apprentice once again. He might as well talk to the other so he wouldn't get bored and maybe he wouldn't be so bad. "I'm Beepaw, and you?" he asked, once narrowed eyes widening a bit so he didn't seem as annoyed. He took this time to look over the young tom again. Pipsqueak! He's small for his age too! Beepaw gave a silent snort to himself, slight pride poking at his pads. He shifted slightly, bobbed tail twitching. "You're not very big yourself, and you call me Pipsqueak." he snorted again, grinning slightly.

“Well who could not notice you’re new? You’re small. Unlike most of the Windclan cats I happen to know.” More like have seen around. He added silently. But he wouldn’t delve into that with “Beepaw.” Southpaw felt the name suited him. He was a golden-ish yellow color, and he was small. The Thunderclan apprentice didn’t miss the medicine cats narrowed gaze either, which he figured could be called stinging. By some more cowardly cat than he that is.
“Southpaw. Thunderclan.” He offered. Southpaw supposed it would be okay to offer at least that much information about himself to the Windclanner. Though at his responding quip, the silvery tomato found a smirk forming on his face. So you wanna play it this way, huh? With a purr lilting his voice, he gently wrapped his thin tail around his paws, tilting his head. “Ah but my dear Beepaw, it’s the thought that counts. I’ve opted to call you ‘pipsqueak’ instead of simple ‘Beepaw’ like you’re used to. Doesn’t that make me special?” A rumbling laugh fought up with his purr as he blinked with wide, innocent leaf-green eyes at the tomcat.

But he wouldn’t delve into that with “Beepaw.” Southpaw felt the name suited him. He was a golden-ish yellow color, and he was small. The Thunderclan apprentice didn’t miss the medicine cats narrowed gaze either, which he figured could be called stinging. By some more cowardly cat than he that is.
“Southpaw. Thunderclan.” He offered. Southpaw supposed it would be okay to offer at least that much information about himself to the Windclanner. Though at his responding quip, the silvery tomato found a smirk forming on his face. So you wanna play it this way, huh? With a purr lilting his voice, he gently wrapped his thin tail around his paws, tilting his head. “Ah but my dear Beepaw, it’s the thought that counts. I’ve opted to call you ‘pipsqueak’ instead of simple ‘Beepaw’ like you’re used to. Doesn’t that make me special?” A rumbling laugh fought up with his purr as he blinked with wide, innocent leaf-green eyes at the tomcat.

stingerpaw walked up to the conversing duo, interrupting their one-on-one chat. "hey, beebee," she greeted, looking up and down at the other cat and trying to figure out who they were. "how've you been, fren? it's been a while!" she said, directing the words at beepaw. the apprentice then turned to the feline beepaw had been talking to. "hi, strange small child," the female said with a questioning tone at the end of her voice. "you, random person i've never met in my life, what's your name?" stingerpaw enquired, tilting her head in an interrogative modus operandi. feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the massively distorted scents and sensations, the female took to a sitting position, cleanly wrapping her tail around her paws as she awaited an introduction from the unfamiliar cat. she tried to make eye contact with beepaw, hoping beepaw could read her body language. she slowly made her way to her brother, whispering delicately into his ear. "do you know anything about this cat? i pride myself on, well basically anything, but also on my knowledge of everycat!" spiderpaw looked at beepaw with wide eyes, her eyes darting between her littermate and the feline he had been talking to before she had rudely and uninvitedly barged into their conversation.

[OPEN TO ANYONE]

Frostflight hadn't been to sure if he had wanted to attend the gathering, simply because he had been so busy it was almost painful, but in the end the silver tabby resigned to the fact that it would be better to go than to hear the choppy, unorganized gossip. Still, seeing the Seastones from a distance seemed to revitalize him as he picked up his step, trotting in alongside his fellow clanmates of Riverclan. His icy gaze slipped to the view the sea, the rising moonlight reflecting off the gentle waves which in turn pulled a small smile from the tom. A beautiful night for a gathering... Oh, Thunderclan had gotten here before them... and Windclan too! He wondered if the feline he had fought so many moons ago when they had been pushed from their home was here - perhaps he could have an actual conversation with him, but from his quick glance around he couldn't immediately pick out his face. Instead, Frostflight decided to settle by a group of Thunderclan cats.
________________________________________

[OPEN TO YOUNG WARRIORS OF ANY CLAN!]

Blackbird could barely feel the weariness in his paws as Shadowclan finally made their way to the Seastones. So far, he had tried to make it his goal to attend every gathering - except for the one time he had back talked his mentor, oops - since he had been made an apprentice and now that he was a warrior, it meant he could come as often as he wanted! Had any of his siblings come as well? This was a gathering, what was he thinking? He could speak with them anytime he wanted in camp - now was his time to meet new cats! Without a second thought, Blackbird took note of the section Windystar had signaled them to, but instead mingled his way through the crowd in search of felines to talk to.

beepaw opened his mouth to say something, eyes still slightly narrowed. Though he got interrupted as a familiar voice and feline butted their way in the conversation. His gaze travelled to the molly, to see stingerpaw, his littermate. "Stingerpaw," he greeted, hoping to add on but once again getting cut off. He perked his slightly curved ears hearing his sister talk to southpaw in such a funny way, well it was funny to him. maybe it's all the scents.. he thought, eyes not as narrowed anymore, shuffling to the side slightly. But his eyes widened every so slightly as stingerpaws sudden, slow move of scooting to him and whispering in his ear. "He's southpaw, a thunderclanner." he whispered back, leaning over as he did so, so he didn't have to whisper any louder. Beepaw leaned back after he finished his words, not looking at either of the two after. Instead, he sent a gaze up at the leaders and deputies, a mix between a grumble and hum coming from him. Skyclan had finally arrived, the last to do so, he gave a frown and a pout as he could smell even more new scents, and see more felines make their way into the groups and crowd. He was slightly glad at the other clans arrival, for a moment he thought they wouldn't show up at all!

Finally, Skyclan had arrived. Lostclaw's paws were already aching as they did often since he had been captured by two legs. The once warrior-now elder tom was quite young to have to retire to the calm and well-cared for life of an old clan cat. He didn't hate it, but there were many things he missed about being a warrior.

It hadn't been that many moons ago that he was fighting with his claws unsheathed against many other clan cats. His heart sank slightly as it set in that those times were behind him, now all he could offer his clan was some witty humor and an extra paw from time to time -so long as he didn't need his claws.

The large black tom realized he was flexing his paws and shook himself for a moment to relax. He wondered how well he would fit in with the other elders, he wasn't as old and therefore not as wise, but he sighed anyways and made his way to a small group that seemed to be forming.

"Hi, my name is Lostclaws. I am kinda new to this group I guess," he gave a nervous chuckle his young face had yet to give into any signs of age, yet he stood noticeably lightly on his front paws trying to relieve them from their constant ache.

Galepaw padded into the gathering clearing, his fur prickling with being around so many cats. It was his first gathering, and it was a little nerve racking being so small among so many strangers. The small tom cat padded over to the edge of the clearing with his head slightly down. Galepaw sat down in a small area free of cats and watched the others mingle around. He wasn't much a fan of talking to others, even those within his own clan.

"Are you going to kill me?" Cherrypaw asked nervously. "I'm too young to die!" She knew she was being stupid, but she was super scared. She wanted to run away. "Don't kill me!" she yelled.

Mistpaw was shocked that an apprentice was terrified of her. She whispered,” I-I won’t kill you, please don’t kill me!” She whimpered back to the other apprentice.

"Yes, I suppose it is," He replied, rather absentmindedly as his golden gaze searched the now full clearing - when had all these cats gotten here? Had he really been that deep in thought? His gaze flickered over to the apprentices he was minding, pleased to see that it appeared they'd managed to make friends. He remembered his first gathering, how new and exciting everything was. How he thought everyone would want to be his friend. If only things were as peaceful as they were all those moons ago He wished, sadly, looking up at the clan leaders for only a moment. He gave Passionstar a confident nod, unsure whether the leader had even seen his remark - it didn't matter either way, it was obvious his loyalty and trust was completely placed within the tom. He was a good leader, and her served Thunderclan well. "Windystar..I forgot he was Shadowclan's leader now. I didn't attend the last gathering, after all, so I'd only heard stories of what happened. Wow, I never imagined he'd become leader so soon," He thought aloud, curious to get Spottedbird's opinion. He'd always liked Windystar - he was polite, and seemed to have a good moral compass. He was certainly one of the better leaders, not that such a title was hard to claim given his competiton included Blazingstar and Fallenstar.

Spottedbird watched as Rowenflame's gaze wandered off. She followed his gaze to the group of apprentices. She thought back to her first gathering. She was excited that first time, though the clearing was pretty overwhelming. She was glad to see that the apprentices looked a bit more oblivious to the tenseness then most cats were. She turned back to Rowenflame as he started talking. "Yeah," she mewed. "It's too bad he was shoved into that position so soon, though I think he'll do well."

[ Flippaw Adderfrost ]
A marbled grey and brown tom cat padded into the clearing behind Grousestar, pelt smooth, covering his muscular form. His blue coloured eyes scanned the clearing once before settling on the shape of a Siamese patterned male. He didn't recognize him as being from ShadowClan, so he padded over, clearing his throat slightly as to announce his presence and not startle the other. "Hello," he meowed smoothly as he approached the ThunderClan cat. "I don't believe we've met before. I'm Rumblestorm."

"Hello," Mossflower padded up to a cat she didn't know, a cat that smelled of ThunderClan, and twitched her tail, "You seem awful happy. How's the Gathering been going for you?"

Adderfrost turned to the two cats talking to him. "Nice to meet you, Rumblestorm..and well, hello to you too!" He cheerfully replied, looking from Rumblestorm to Mossflower. "I'm Adderfrost!" He licked his pelt proudly, looking at Mossflower. "Well, I've just had five healthy kits." He confessed. "Today was their first day out of the nursery." He looked from Mossflower to Rumblestorm.

Eaglepaw followed Bellpaw with a smile on his face. "I bet they're around here somewhere!" He mewed excitedly. The gathering was his favourite meeting. He stayed close to Bellpaw, feeling her warmth close to his skin. " Is that them? " He asked, gesturing to two grey blobs of fur.

Kiwibounce followed Cascadepaw, calling hellos to cats around her. She gave Cascadepaw an affectionate nudge. "You've been waiting all moon for this, haven't you?" She teased. She gained her tail with his, then began to walk faster. " Come on! Let's go! "

"I haven't been waiting ALL moon!" He protested. "Just ALL night, and all yesterday, and the day before..and the day before that!" He heard a shout across the clearing, seeing the brown tabby she-cat and the brown tom from SkyClan. The tabby she-cat was beckoning them over. "Look Kiwibounce, its them!"

Many of the present cats seemed content on chatting to each other without him, so Lionstorm weaved his way through the crowd to take a spot close to the base of the stones. He liked being close to the leaders-- it was easier to hear them and he enjoyed observing the tensions between them.

"This should be fun!" he commented whole-heartedly to no one in particular. "Grousestar looks like a pile of dung. I wonder where's Auroraflame? She's usually here."
basilcloud was sitting up near the rock, it was her first gathering since joining windclan. she looked up at the leader’s content as to what she was doing in the moment the munchkin turned her white head as she heard a voice behind her, “oh? what happened to Auroraflam?” she said wistfully she haven’t heard what he said properly. nor had she seen auroraflame before.

after hearing the words come out of her brother's mouth, the female felt much more confident, for basically no reason at all except for knowing what this cat was called and which clan they were from. yes, that sure did sound like stingerpaw. stingerpaw nodded, giving beepaw a grateful glance. "thank you beebee," she said, looking back at southpaw. "hi southpaw," the apprentice welcomed, although she still didn't quite know who he was, as she hadn't yet technically met him. her ears twitched as a new clan made an entrance; after a moment of analysis, she figured out it was skyclan. turning back to the conversation at hand, stingerpaw bounced about, still holding her permanent meh-face. "how's it goin, beebee? how's it been, southpaw?" she asked, looking at each of them in turn as she spoke their respective names. her sitting-down position was now feeling uncomfortable, as she had moved locations to be closer to her brother so she could talk to him quietly, and her stubby 'tail' was resting in an unusual manner. stingerpaw quickly stood up, shook her fur loudly and dramatically, and then sat down in a way that was now enjoyable. that took way too long, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to get a nice place to sit, the apprentice thought to herself.

Mossflower perked her ears, curious. The clan had new kits? This information might be useful to Windystar, but she knew it would be announced anyway.

I've had a few litters myself, and it's the most wonderful feeling seeing them grow up."

Tansy'Jaw nodded slightly this time another feline wandered past her, the golden tabby flash a kind smile trying to look friendly but was given a harsh glare instead, once the cat had left she let out an exasperated sigh."This is why I don't handle crowds all too good...".she muttered to herself, before giving a small smile at Tiger'Slash."A-anyway, how have you been? We haven't had a chance to chat for a while".she spoke softly as she looked at him with her blue eyes.

Tigerslash watched cats stream past, finding friends from other Clans to converse with. He watched as Tansyjaw attempted to smile at one of the passing cats, instead giving a somewhat harsh look. The golden she-cat sighed and mumbled to herself, making him tilt his head slightly. She turned towards him and he pondered her question for a moment. "I've been alright. A bit worried about the recent battle with the Dark Forest, but otherwise I've been nice. How have you been?" He returned the question, his gaze somewhat curious.

Spottedbird watched as Rowenflame's gaze wandered off. She followed his gaze to the group of apprentices. She thought back to her first gathering. She was excited that first time, though the clearing was pretty overwhelming. She was glad to see that the apprentices looked a bit more oblivious to the tenseness then most cats were. She turned back to Rowenflame as he started talking. "Yeah," she mewed. "It's too bad he was shoved into that position so soon, though I think he'll do well."
Rowanflame purred, agreeing with her comment. "Yes, I think he will as well. He's always had the better moral compass compared to the other clan's leaders, he's respectable and good-natured. He will do his best for Shadowclan, and hopefully in turn for all of us," He replied, his amber gaze inspecting each of the leaders one at a time. Though, he gave little thought to Blazingstar; that war-mongering mousebrain didn't deserve a moment of Rowanflame's time. Fallenstar wasn't very high up on Rowanflame's list, but he was certainly not as hated as Blazingstar. Grousestar was...okay. Rowanflame had never really payed all that much attention to Grousestar, or Skyclan in general - they were so far away, so out of the picture, it was hard to blame him really. Windystar, well, as aforementioned Rowanflame had high hopes for Windystar as leader. He only hoped the cruel side of being leader, the tough desicions and responsibility for so many cat's lives didn't get to the young tom. Finally, he looked at Passionstar; Thunderclan's great and almight leader. Rowanflame truly did hold the Thunderclan tom in high regards, respecting his courage and passion to do what was right by Thunderclan. He did not look to start wars but he was always prepared for them. He was a good and just leader. Thunderclan was truly lucky to have him. As Rowanflame's eyes finally drifted from the leader, he quickly became aware of a certain cat's lack of appearance; Daydream, and his apprentice Goosepaw. He supposed that maybe they had decided not to come for reasons of their own knowledge, but something told him that they weren't here for a different reason. Daydream had always turned up to gatherings, his presence being elsewhere was strange to Rowanflame. "Hm, strange, Daydream isn't here. Nor is his apprentice, Goosepaw. I wonder why?"

Eaglesoul didn't know how he had arrived at the gathering. The tom had been standing in the middle of the clearing when all of a sudden cats were swarming him and he found himself forced to move... and now he was here. At his second gathering. He didn't remember the layout at all, only that it was a place with some big rocks for the leaders to sit on. Suddenly feeling a fur against his he relaxed at an instant. He knew the structure of Silentwhisper's muzzle and the soft streaks of her grey slightly fluffy tail. "Silent!" he breathed out, relieved. At least there was someone he knew here... Like he knew the other windclanners well enough, but he was still so unsure on how to even walk properly that he spent most of his time either sleeping or slowly working along with Silent. He just wished that they got more time together... They needed or rather, he needed it. Silent was the only one who actually had decided to help him, their medicine cat passing away soon after his injury and now it was Beepaw who had no clue on how to help a blind cat who had no clue on how to help himself.

Nudging her gently he said, "Do you see any spots that are comfortable? I know the elders will take the best spots, because of their aching bones - and minds, though you didn't hear me say that - yet a space would be nice to rest in." His own muscles were already fatigued. He wasn't used to walking so far, he hadn't even left camp in moons because of his 'injury.' While waiting for her to spot a suitable space he sat down on the ground his tail curling against Silentwhisper as he rested his head on her shoulders while purring slowly.

"Where were you? I wasn't aware you were supposed to go to the gathering?" He asked, still purring. From what he knew, which wasn't much, Silentwhisper hadn't been to a gathering since she was an apprentice. Then he remembered and he nearly slapped himself across the face. "Oh Starclan, I am sorry. Blazingstar will mention that you've become a warrior. Congratulations by the way," he said lifting his head to give her a lick across the ears.

Lavenderpaw had no idea what to do with himself; he had only just been named an apprentice and now he was attending his first gathering. Things were happening too fast for his liking. Even worse, most apprentices weren't happy he was seeing his first gathering way before them - he was only there as he was Forestshade's apprentice, and the deputy encouraged him to attend alongside him. But, Forestshade couldn't babysit him and it wasn't long before the small tom found himself all alone in the sea of unfamiliar cats. He felt like he was drowning. Nervously, he moved from empty space to empty space hoping to avoid other cats at all costs. He didn't want to make a fool of himself, but his fear and anxiety was so obvious it was as if someone had written it across his face in permanent marker. He stumbled through the crowd, small, uncoordinated legs struggling to keep him balanced. It wasn't long before his luck ran out and he ran straight into a pair of cats, a surprised yelp escaping the scared tom. "I- Sorry, I didn't see you, I'm just so clumsy- Please don't be mad at me-" He stumbled, the apology coming out of him as a jumble of pleas and excuses. God, he was such a screw up. He would be Forestshade's worst apprentice; he would let his own clan deputy down, and the whole of Shadowclan too no doubt. He stood before the pair, head lowered and tail between his legs - he was tiny compared to them - prepared for the scolding they'd give him.

Tallmarsh sat down several tail-lengths away, knowing it wasn't far enough away. This cat was just going to keep bothering her. "Fine," she spat, "But we're not talking about the battle or my scars." She threw a hard glare in the direction of the WindClanner. The medicine cat wondered why she'd even come in the first place. Passionstar and Flintspirit were obviously upset with her, along with the rest of ThunderClan. She curled her long tail around her paws with a sigh.

[sorry for the short reply]
Her ears flicked before she nodded slowly , her orbs giving a small gleam, although it killed the fun for her......she decided to behave . She had to carefully think about what she would ask.....not really wanting an argument to break through......you could tell she was using her brain until she opened her mouth, the words regarding the battle and the scars were there on the tip of her tongue ,eager to escape but she ignored them " what is it like being a medicine cat? " Dayleg asked genuinely curious . Although she wasn't sure if this was the right question to ask but.....she couldnt think of anything else.....she's never talked to anyone outside her clan nor inside much....she was secretly amazed by how some cats could just walk up to others and have no trouble with it what's so ever. "....if its....not something you wanna answer....I understand....." she added you could hear the struggle in her voice, she was over thinking this and her brain was starting to hurt a bit how can others do this!?

There was for sure one thing Southpaw didn’t like, and that was being ignored. And silently judged. He equally disliked those two things. So as he was rudely interrupted by a Windclan molly, his facial features contorted from his previous breezy smirk to an annoyed frown. “I’m right here Pipsqueak. And it’s rude to whisper when there’s a third party member.” He meowed quite matter-of-factly, before turning his green eyes to the intruder. He instantly knew he didn’t like her very much. The way she addressed him was annoying, and Southpaw scoffed as his ears twitched with the familiar action of his annoyance. “Well aren’t you just all sorts of respectful?” He meowed to Stingerpaw, eyes still narrowed. “But if you really want to know, I was doing a whole lot better before you popped in.” His voice was even and calm, yet with a very clear tone of “back off” laced into it. He flicked his eyes between Stingerpaw and Beepaw, wondering how the seemingly unassuming new medicine cat could be related to that mouse-brained apprentice. Southpaw always tried to give himself a chance to get to know every male cat he crossed, but with females, it was either you were on his bad side or his good side. There wasn’t much in between.

“Your… biological father,” he said slowly, registering that but not pressing for further information, assuming she would offer it if she wanted. It seemed to be a sensitive subject indicated by her flinch, one he didn’t think would be wise to tread on. “But that’s, y’know, great. That you learned how to hunt,” he said, clearing his throat and shuffling his paws. “I guess I could try asking my dads to teach me sometime, they might be willing.”

Nodding to show he understood, the idea of hunting large birds was fascinating to him. “Wait, do you guys actually eat them?” Fawnpaw meowed, unable to decide between being startled, dubious, or concerned. “And honestly, that sounds kind of scary, hunting a huge bird like that.” It was enough to make him shudder at the thought, seeing some fly overhead in RiverClan on rare occasions. Her mention of battles had him even more intrigued, and he asked curiously, “Have you been in a battle?”

Snailpaw looked at Fawnpaw, remembering the last battle she had been in. It hadn't been long since she was in battle. The battle was when her own clanmates attacked them. "The last battle I was in was the one where the dark forest cats trained my clanmates to attack their own.", she answered. Snailpaw flinched as she spoke. She didn't exactly participate just hid in the corner with her friend Mistpaw.

Snailpaw looked away from him remembering he had said biological Father. "My biological Father was the only one who wanted me due to my face deformity. He has been there since I was a little kitten. Now I have a new mother and father.", she replied. Snailpaw wanted to get everything off her chest and be proud for who she was. This didn't hurt her to talk about her past and she didn't mind that anybody knew.

Fawnpaw's jaw dropped open slightly, eyes widening. "Uh, hold on. You... you guys had one of those battles too? I thought it was just RiverClan!" his voice was a panicked hiss, followed by looking over his shoulder as if concerned this was a conversation to be kept private. "I had no idea what was happening, just that my clanmates were attacking each other. It was the..." his nose wrinkled, "Dark Forest?" Fawnpaw didn't believe in the supernatural and was skeptical at best. Now, he was under the impression that was their collective excuse for trying to overthrow their clan leaders if it'd happened in both WindClan and RiverClan.

"I'm glad you have a family that's there for you," he meowed, sincerity dripping through the sentiment. "It's-- I don't know why your, uh, differences would be enough to make you an outcast with anybody. It's like rejecting a cat because their pelt is striped." To Fawnpaw, it didn't make sense.

Rumblestorm twitched an ear as he heard another cat approach. Turning his head slightly, his gaze fell upon another cat, a fellow ShadowClan warrior like himself. He tipped his head in greeting to Mossflower and than returned his gaze to the other tom, Adderfrost. "Nice to meet you Adderfrost," he replied, tail tapping the ground rhythmically, "congratulations on becoming a father. New kits are always a blessing." He didn't have a mate, let alone any kits; the prospect of being a father was one of the few experiences that daunted the ShadowClan warrior.

"I am VERY proud. They are a blessing from StarClan above..." He broke off, thinking about his encounter with Ashstep, when the tomcat had dragged him into the Dark Forest. His claws instinctively slid out. "But the only problem is, another tom is angry I became mates with Foxjump.. and the mouse-heart dragged me into the Dark Forest when I was asleep. He threatened me and the kits..." He gave a whimper, sinking down. "I just want them to be safe... Oh, Acornkit, Thornkit, Smallkit, Featherkit, Redkit...my dear sons and daughters....please....stay safe.."

"Right, right" Kiwibounced acknowledged Cascadepaw. Her ears pricked at Cascadepaw's call. Bellpaw? Eaglepaw? Woohoo! Kiwibounce ran over to them, yowling to Cascadepaw as she went. " Come on, hurry up! "

Cascadepaw ran to catch up, skidding to a halt beside the two apprentices. "Actually, Eaglepaw, she is Kiwibounce now." He mewed proudly, looking at the cat he truly loved. He puffed out his chest.

Rumblestorm;s gaze darted to the other tom's claws. His fur prickled, and he was about to slide out his own in case the need to defend himself proved necessary before he realized it was just how the ThunderClan cat was reacting to the fact that his family had been threatened. "I am confident you can protect them, should the need to arise." He spoke in hopes to comfort the other; no cat deserved to be threatened based on who their mate was.

Adderfrost blinked, looking at Rumblestorm then Mossflower in gratitude. "I will protect them with my life." He vowed. He sat back up, licking his chest fur. "Enough about me. What about you two? Your from ShadowClan, if I'm not mistaken."

Minkpaw need up sitting in sandy patch her thin brow grey tail twitching. Why was she allowed to come? She's gone against her Clan just because some DF cat told her it was the only way she'd ever be useful. The young apprentice had gone against the only cats who ever treated her like family. Fernpaw, Flintspirit, Spiderpaw, she'd been so mouse brained! As a Wind Clan apprentice broke through the crowd and found himself in front of her with a giggle she looked up with pale green eyes. He seemed very care free and excited, was it his first gathering to? Maybe it was best to put the past in the past? "Hi," She greeted her voice quite. She wasn't good around new cats. "Who are you? " Minnows asked nose twitching confirming he was indeed a WindClan cat.

[I'm open to a group RP too]

The apprentices expression exploded with excitement, hopping up from where he had been sitting, he quickly and enthusiastically greeted Minkpaw, "Hello! My name is Owlpaw!" He quickly sniffed the air, his nose unintentionally scrunching up at the scent - he was able to tell her Thunderclan scent apart from the crowd. "I've never met a Thunderclan cat before!" He babbled, though his mouth seemed to never stop moving as words just spewed out, "Is it nice in the woods? I don't think I could live there - all those trees covering to sun and no room to run. Though I guess if you grow up there it's not so bad, is it? Do you like to run? I LOVE to run!" But as he finished the last sentence, he bit his tongue and offered a curt smile. "Sorry, I didn't catch your name?"

There was for sure one thing Southpaw didn’t like, and that was being ignored. And silently judged. He equally disliked those two things. So as he was rudely interrupted by a Windclan molly, his facial features contorted from his previous breezy smirk to an annoyed frown. “I’m right here Pipsqueak. And it’s rude to whisper when there’s a third party member.” He meowed quite matter-of-factly, before turning his green eyes to the intruder. He instantly knew he didn’t like her very much. The way she addressed him was annoying, and Southpaw scoffed as his ears twitched with the familiar action of his annoyance. “Well aren’t you just all sorts of respectful?” He meowed to Stingerpaw, eyes still narrowed. “But if you really want to know, I was doing a whole lot better before you popped in.” His voice was even and calm, yet with a very clear tone of “back off” laced into it. He flicked his eyes between Stingerpaw and Beepaw, wondering how the seemingly unassuming new medicine cat could be related to that mouse-brained apprentice. Southpaw always tried to give himself a chance to get to know every male cat he crossed, but with females, it was either you were on his bad side or his good side. There wasn’t much in between.

Every trip to Seastones was a painful affair for the old Skyclan medicine cat. The comfrey in his nest has long since stopped doing more than taking the edge off, and the number of poppy seeds he needed chew just to dull the ache in his joints enough to not wince with every step by the time he arrived was approaching troublesome levels. The old tom turned his battlescarred muzzle to look over the heads of cats and saw how few he recognized. In fact, aside from Beepaw, he didn't know a single other one. With a grunt, he shambled over and took a spot on the edge of the medicine cats meeting spot. He nodded at them all, but didn't say hello.

Beepaw felt slight agitation prick at his pads, cutting his way back in the conversation. "Actually, southpaw, i bet you'll be doing way better since stingerpaw has arrived." he said with a smirk, almost trying to copy the breezy one the other apprentice had. He furrowed his brows ever so slightly at the tone southpaw had, frowning. He looked back to his littermate, but looked away as he saw a familiar tom walk by. He almost immediately recognized the old tom as Shinefang, shuffling his way over to the edge, giving the other medicine cats and him a nod. The blonde tom gave a nod back, respect in it as he did so. He then, turned back to the two, glancing at stingerpaw, then southpaw. "Unless.., Stingerpaw is just such a problem she just has to leave." he said, a light grumble in his tone.

As Shinefang made his way to the medicine cat meeting spot, Tallmarsh finally followed suit. She wondered how the battle had gone in the other Clans. She was sure the other medicine cats were equally busy. She wouldn't be the one to tell the others what happened. And she wouldn't be the one to talk first. Instead, she sat down at the meeting spot and scanned her good eye over the crowd for Daydream. The ShadowClanner was nowhere to be found. Were they demoted? Tallmarsh hated for that to be her first train of thought, but with everything that happened recently, she wouldn't be surprised if another high rank got demoted. It seemed that no one could keep a rank for very long these days. In spite of herself, Tallmarsh mumbled out a quiet, "Hello."

Rukblestorm's ears twitched at Adderfrost's vow. Though he wasn't familiar with the feeling of a father for his kits, he could tell how strongly he felt about them. After Mosspelt spoke about ShadowClan, he found himself nodding in agreement. "Yes," he meowed when she had finished speaking. "ShadowClan is well." He felt a tug of pride inside. Despite everything going on around them, ShadowClan was still standing strong, as they should. "How is ThunderClan these days?" His question wasn't much into the specifics and details; he was merely wondering how they were faring, what with everything going on.

"Going good I guess." Adderfrost answered. "Kits have been born, other than mine, and prey is faring well, so we catch plenty. Although, I wouldn't know too much, as I'm a younger warrior, smaller than most as I was the runt of my litter. I'm not chosen to be the first one to know things so I typically stay out of things.. I feel like I'm a nuisance." He looked up, his blue eyes thoughtful. He hoped the kits were okay.

Cascadepaw looked down, embarrassed. He remembered when he first came to ShadowClan, when Windystar had been Windygale and Goldenstar had been leader. He hadn't known much about clan life, but he had adapted, as his mother wished he had. He was so deep in thought, he looked as if he was slightly angry, but he was far from it!

Twitching her ears, Mossflower studied the younger tom. He was far too open. What sensible cat spoke of these sort of things to other clans? Particularly to ShadowClan? She'd been under the impression that ThunderClan disliked ShadowClan down to their tiniest kits, but Adderfrost... Well, he was clear, void of any anxiety and completely open. She flicked her tail, a tiny bit confused and yet willing to take advantage of the warrior for her clan. And so she slipped from casualty to manipulation in a smooth, unnoticeable moment, "Nuisance?" she echoed, "I disagree. You seem like a fine cat, if you ask me. ThunderClan should be grateful to have you as a warrior."

She flicked her ears, trying not to come on too strong. She spoke gently, testing the ground, "How many apprentices are there in total? Surely they would have let you have an apprentice. Passionstar would be foolish not to give you one."

Tansy'Jaw thought for a moment before saying softly."I've been okay, I guess I'm still ittle on edge lately since the battle but i'm fine".She then spoke in a calm
But soft tone."I'm glad you weren't too badly hurt during the battle- in all honestly I was a little worried about you since I didn't have a chance to see if you were okay after the battle but I'm glad your doing okay".She gave a small smile- realising she probably shouldn't of said that but it was normal for friends to be worried right?

Tigerslash nodded. "The battle seems to have taken a toll on the Clans," he agreed. "I overheard that ShadowClan lacks a medicine cat or a medicine apprentice, and SkyClan and RiverClan seem to lack deputies," he said, observing the scene of mingling cats from each Clan. "I managed to avoid the worst of it," he replied. "I'm glad you're alright as well. It was strange, seeing our Clanmates turn against us with the spirits of dead cats," he shook his head slightly.

Jinxfrost padded slowly around the circle of cats, her hazy blue orbs flicking cautiously from side to side, the soft fur on her shoulders bristled ever so slightly. The molly was very twitchy and paranoid having come from a family that didn't treat her so well, she was always on her guard. Her dark Smokey gray fur blended in with the shadows around her, but the golden dapples seemed to stand out.

Lionpaw bounced into the clearing, His golden head raised proudly, golden hued orbs glowing as bright as the moon. The young cat was merely 6 moons and had no care in the world.

Hawkwatcher padded slowly into the clearing, His chocolate colored gems sparkling in the soft glow of the moon, His half sister Fernpaw following close behind him.I

(Enter Featheredwings and Windyblaze of WindClan. Feathered is already here and has been.)
Windyblaze slipped through the throng of cats and made herself comfortable off to the side, her green eyes counting harshly. She disliked gatherings.

(Enter Cindersparkle of ShadowClan.)
Cindersparkle slipped into the clearing and stayed to the shadows, not being a big fan of lots of cats, she tended to stay to herself, watching and listening .

(Enter Skydancer and Shadowstalker of SkyClan)
Pale silver fur flower like the moon above, adorned with baby blue eyes the open and optimistic Skydancer floated into the clearing on graceful paws.

Shadowstalker entered after his sister, her opposite, keeping to himself, His fur seemed to blend in with the shadows making him look like he was a part of them, His dark forest green eyes shifting from.side to side.

Cascadepaw was still so deep in thought, it was easy to see he was thinking very deeply about something. His mother had wished he was in the clans so much, she had named him after an apprentice. She had died, and he had seeked out ShadowClan, and now he was one of them. He still had a ways to go before he would be a warrior, and that was okay. He thought of Kiwibounce, and how much he liked her. He hoped they would be mates one day and that would make him happier than anything. He imagined little gray kittens running around his paws and he purred, still deep in his own thoughts.

Bellpaw blushed shyly, twining her tail with Eaglepaw's and pressing her cheek to his. "Yeah.. me and Eaglepaw were meant to be together, from the moment we were born." She gave a rusty purr. "So, you and Cascadepaw, huh?" She teased Kiwibounce gently.

If they wanted to get stronger, they should've trained more. Some of those moves could've killed a cat. "Yes, we don't need to stir up anything if anyone overhears," he replied. He noticed a few cats looked, understandably, on edge. "I suppose it's affected all of the Clans," he mumbled.

The apprentices expression exploded with excitement, hopping up from where he had been sitting, he quickly and enthusiastically greeted Minkpaw, "Hello! My name is Owlpaw!" He quickly sniffed the air, his nose unintentionally scrunching up at the scent - he was able to tell her Thunderclan scent apart from the crowd. "I've never met a Thunderclan cat before!" He babbled, though his mouth seemed to never stop moving as words just spewed out, "Is it nice in the woods? I don't think I could live there - all those trees covering to sun and no room to run. Though I guess if you grow up there it's not so bad, is it? Do you like to run? I LOVE to run!" But as he finished the last sentence, he bit his tongue and offered a curt smile. "Sorry, I didn't catch your name?"

Minkpaw wasn't sure what to think at first, the WindClan was a bit overwhelming. He was hyper and asked so many questions at once, his mouth was moving faster then she thought it could. Was this how cats felt when she asked a lot of questions? Hers weren't as fast as Owlpaw's, if that was his name, but we're they annoying? "Y-yeah.. I like it in the woods, but I grew up there. Uh.. No it's not dark all the time, the sun shines through the leaves all the time. It makes the ground really dappled in light." She explaimed twitching her ears. It was ShadowClan who lives in the dark part of the woods. When he asked about running the brown grey molly shook her head a bit. " I'd rather learn to climb then run, but I do run sometimes. Just because I'm ThunderClan doesn't mean I don't know how. " Minnows told him feeling like she needed to defend herself with that. Though she did say it in the intention to cause conflucked. Flintspirit would kill her, she was already worried he was going to get in her about her earlier mistake. "Oh uh, my name's Minkpaw." The apprentice answered blinking her blue green eyes.

[Hope you don't mind my nervous boy joining Silent and Eagle ^^]
Lavenderpaw had no idea what to do with himself; he had only just been named an apprentice and now he was attending his first gathering. Things were happening too fast for his liking. Even worse, most apprentices weren't happy he was seeing his first gathering way before them - he was only there as he was Forestshade's apprentice, and the deputy encouraged him to attend alongside him. But, Forestshade couldn't babysit him and it wasn't long before the small tom found himself all alone in the sea of unfamiliar cats. He felt like he was drowning. Nervously, he moved from empty space to empty space hoping to avoid other cats at all costs. He didn't want to make a fool of himself, but his fear and anxiety was so obvious it was as if someone had written it across his face in permanent marker. He stumbled through the crowd, small, uncoordinated legs struggling to keep him balanced. It wasn't long before his luck ran out and he ran straight into a pair of cats, a surprised yelp escaping the scared tom. "I- Sorry, I didn't see you, I'm just so clumsy- Please don't be mad at me-" He stumbled, the apology coming out of him as a jumble of pleas and excuses. God, he was such a screw up. He would be Forestshade's worst apprentice; he would let his own clan deputy down, and the whole of Shadowclan too no doubt. He stood before the pair, head lowered and tail between his legs - he was tiny compared to them - prepared for the scolding they'd give him.

Silentwhisper was glade when Eaglesoul recognized her, it was how she greeted him now that he was blind. It was really the only way she could greeting or let him know she was there. Still knowing he wasn't here with another cat made her really happy but then she felt bad. Getting jealous over her imagination was feather brained. Just the thought of having the tom go to we else for help bugged her. Yet she couldn't express it and she felt if she did Eagle would find it stupid. She herself did.
At the dark tabby's question and statement she let out a snort of amusement. The elders did have all the best spots through she wasn't sure if she thought their minds were old and tired. Their bodies were for sure. Glancing around the powdery gray and white molly looked for a good spot as the slightly older warrior had asked. Though as her friend talked she just listened hit him with her tail to let him know she was listening. She couldn't respond after all. Yet hearing him congratulate her again made her smile. He's so sweet B

Suddenly a weight hit her and caused her to jump. What!? Huh? Startled the blue eyed warrior spun around to see a young tom who looked as shaken up as her if not twice as much. Taking a breath she listened to the young tom calming her racing heart. She was on edge tonight it seem, very nervous about being around all these new cats. Feeling bad for the young apprentice Silent shock her head kinda waved her paw slightly. An expression that might be associated with an apology or saying nothing's wrong. Though if she was completely honest the young molly felt like she looked like a complete weirdo. The molly did have a way of leaving awkward first impressions.
After a moment of awkward silence Silentwhisper dipped her head ears twitching. Okay explain to him that your mute, it's pretty easy you've done it countless times before She told herself taking a breath. Raising a law to her chestnuts muzzle she shook her head. Hoping it made since to the young frightened tom. Then after a moment she thought she'd tell him the Eaglesoul was blind. Or was that to weird? She didn't know so she did both just offered the young apprentice a slight smile.

Finally, Skyclan had arrived. Lostclaw's paws were already aching as they did often since he had been captured by two legs. The once warrior-now elder tom was quite young to have to retire to the calm and well-cared for life of an old clan cat. He didn't hate it, but there were many things he missed about being a warrior.

It hadn't been that many moons ago that he was fighting with his claws unsheathed against many other clan cats. His heart sank slightly as it set in that those times were behind him, now all he could offer his clan was some witty humor and an extra paw from time to time -so long as he didn't need his claws.

The large black tom realized he was flexing his paws and shook himself for a moment to relax. He wondered how well he would fit in with the other elders, he wasn't as old and therefore not as wise, but he sighed anyways and made his way to a small group that seemed to be forming.

"Hi, my name is Lostclaws. I am kinda new to this group I guess," he gave a nervous chuckle his young face had yet to give into any signs of age, yet he stood noticeably lightly on his front paws trying to relieve them from their constant ache.

Muscles stiff and fur only half tended to the old tom followed his Clan to Seastones. He hadn't been to a gathering in moons, maybe even a season or too? The russet tabby didn't like traveling during leaf bare and he wasn't to find for drama. He's had his seasons full of that and just enjoyed being around his Clanmates. With a huff the WindClan elder dragged along. It takes much longer then I remembered to get here The thought wasn't ill tempered more like amused, his memory must be getting worse. That was grate, well not really but it was amusing to the old tom.
Reaching the place of the gathering Russetwind began looking himself a nice place to rest and talk. A place with some other elders would be nice. Some place to talk about all the crazy youngins around, the leaders didn't know how to take it slow. See a nice looking cupping by some elder bushes. Bright blue eyes, surprisingly instilled by age, scanning over the two who where already there. One unfailingly recognizable old molly and a younger elder he didn't know. Spottedflight He hadn't seen it talked to his sister in seasons. She's moved to RiverClan of course they'd barely talk.
The tom dipped his head to the two elders his grey muzzle really showing in the moon light. "Fine evening eh?" Russetwind greeted sitting himself down with a slight streach. His joints were sore after that walk. He just wanted a good while to chill and talk. "I didn't recognize ya youngster, a new elder I reckon?" The tattered tabby asked glancing at the SkyClan tom.

Tigerslash saw a concerned look spread across her face. "They must've been. Perhaps strength or power? They seemed focused on those things," he agreed. He thought that it was disloyal. If they wanted to get stronger, they should've trained more. Some of those moves could've killed a cat. "Yes, we don't need to stir up anything if anyone overhears," he replied. He noticed a few cats looked, understandably, on edge. "I suppose it's affected all of the Clans," he mumbled.

Tansy'Jaw nodded somewhat before she gave a soft smile at the Tom, trying to change the topic."What do you think the leaders are going to discuss this time?".She asked softly as she looked at Tiger'Slash.

"You are scared, too?" Cherrypaw asked. "But you are so scary!" She was worried the other apprentice was going to jump at her suddenly.
Mistpaw quivered," I am not scary, I'm a weak and blind apprentice. I make Windclan weak." she confessed almost crying.

Her ears flicked before she nodded slowly , her orbs giving a small gleam, although it killed the fun for her......she decided to behave . She had to carefully think about what she would ask.....not really wanting an argument to break through......you could tell she was using her brain until she opened her mouth, the words regarding the battle and the scars were there on the tip of her tongue ,eager to escape but she ignored them " what is it like being a medicine cat? " Dayleg asked genuinely curious . Although she wasn't sure if this was the right question to ask but.....she couldnt think of anything else.....she's never talked to anyone outside her clan nor inside much....she was secretly amazed by how some cats could just walk up to others and have no trouble with it what's so ever. "....if its....not something you wanna answer....I understand....." she added you could hear the struggle in her voice, she was over thinking this and her brain was starting to hurt a bit how can others do this!?

Tallmarsh's tail twitched thoughtfully. "Stressful, for one," she admitted. "Difficult, but also extremely rewarding. More so than being a warrior, from my experience." She considered herself to have quite a bit experience as a medicine cat by now to be able to say this--she had been ThunderClan's medicine cat for almost eight moons now. Of course, the drastic change in lifestyle and having to learn all of the herbs was definitely not fun, but being able to see cats once under her care now thriving, able to live another day was one of the most rewarding experiences she could think of. It made her feel that she truly mattered to this Clan. And of course, she felt horrible seeing the pain inflicted on both side of the recent battle. She had encouraged it, and she had twice as many patients, but it was much more difficult considering she was out of commission for several days directly after. As her thoughts drifted back to the battle, she found her gaze drifting towards Passionstar again. He looked healthy and young now, a much different image from the one she'd seen as she locked her jaws onto his throat. She shook her head and turned back towards Dayleg. She needed to stop.

Beepaw felt slight agitation prick at his pads, cutting his way back in the conversation. "Actually, southpaw, i bet you'll be doing way better since stingerpaw has arrived." he said with a smirk, almost trying to copy the breezy one the other apprentice had. He furrowed his brows ever so slightly at the tone southpaw had, frowning. He looked back to his littermate, but looked away as he saw a familiar tom walk by. He almost immediately recognized the old tom as Shinefang, shuffling his way over to the edge, giving the other medicine cats and him a nod. The blonde tom gave a nod back, respect in it as he did so. He then, turned back to the two, glancing at stingerpaw, then southpaw. "Unless.., Stingerpaw is just such a problem she just has to leave." he said, a light grumble in his tone.

RedHead

stingerpaw rolled her eyes at southpaw. she was not having this disrespect. she was supposed to be praised for her flawlessness and pride! how dare this unknowing imbecile act so rudely to her. at the 'i was doing better before you came along' part, stingerpaw simply couldn't resist talking back anymore. "ah, well, isn't that so good for you, buddy ol' pal?" she responded passive-aggressively. she gave beepaw a slight nudge, believing he wouldn't approve of her behavior. "if i have to leave, i will. i'm not going to ruin your life, beebee. just tell me when you want to go, but i'm not listening to this southpaw here. judging me before he's met me, what a cat." stingerpaw said this all quietly and without taking a breath between, and although she was acting like the only thing bothering her was the disrespect, that wasn't all. did she really come off as a dislikeable cat? was that why people hated her?

She didn't know so she did both just offered the young apprentice a slight smile.

The dark tabby tom laid his head gently on Silentwhisper's shoulder. He didn't know what was going on at all, he only knew that he had been rammed into by something - or rather someone - and that now Silent was trying to explain that she couldn't talk... What a duo. The blind cat who had no clue what was going on and the mute cat who couldn't explain anything at all but at least could see. "What's going on?" he asked softly then laughed surprising himself and the two others. "You didn't 'see' me?" It was humorous to the dark tom. It was obvious to him that this other cat definitely could see and it humored the tom to see that he was just as nervous if not more than Eagle himself. Deciding that actually making an introduction would help them better, he stretched his head forward until the clear scent of Shadowclan flew into his nostrils and he sneezed. It reeked! Actually having located the other cat the tom gestured to himself and Silent.

"I am Eaglesoul. This is Silentwhisper. We're both from Windclan." The tom sounded strangely confident which was off, considering who he was but the nerves reeking off the shadowclan tom was just making him comfortable. At least they were two who was messing up anyway. "If you didn't understand her gesture... she doesn't speak. Don't try to make her speak. She won't be able to reply." He nudged Silent gently, feeling the she-cat nuzzle him in turn. He was gaining confidence and said, "I can't see you. And don't wave your paws in front of my eyes... I literally CANNOT see you." The tabby tom laid down fully on the ground. His muscles were still fatigued and he still looked like hell, in his frail and weak body the confidence rushing out of him with a tug of a string. It was exhausting to be Eaglesoul it really was. Some would only have to be Silent for a day to understand how much every single action took out of the tom. He was at the gathering. An apprentice had run into them, they might as well make the most out of it. "Who are you then?"

(Enter Featheredwings of WindClan. He Is open to rp with!)
A light fluttery breeze drifted through the clearing, Featheredwings gave a soft huff and fluffed up his tan colored coat, His clear baby blue eyes blunted in the moonlight, reflecting those around him. He walked with a soldier like strut, head high, shoulders straight, tail in the air. Confidence and authority rang through him. He wasn't just a Clan cat, in his mind he was a protector, one to care for queens and kits. It was his duty to protect and tend to those who needed him. Featheredwings respected and followed the warrior code to a T, he was respected as well.

Moving with grace and purpose the tan tuxedo made his way to a little patch off to the side where he could watch. Tail curling around his black paws, the two black streaks down His shoulders made his tan fur seem to glow, His white chest illuminated by the male glow of the moon.
Ibisprowl absolutely hated going to gatherings, but for some reason the newer Shadowclan leader thought that it would be a good exercise for the antisocial tom to get out and mingle with cats from other clans. The noise of the clearing made his head swim and he promptly wished to be back in the solitude of the marsh where he could sulk about his own life. Instead, he was here, and it was nearly impossible not to be around other cats without completely abandoning the gathering all together. So when Shadowclan arrived as nearly one of the last clans, aside from Skyclan, he had to take a moment and take in the mass of cats with a disheartened frown. 'Just stick to the outskirts and avoid eye contact until its over, then you can go home and be alone again.' The thought was the only thing keeping him from growing agitated. After all, that's what Ibisprowl felt when he was stressed or in an uncomfortable situation, agitated and ready to snap at the first cat who was unlucky to be there at the time.

Letting out a low huff of breath, the black and white tom with the bobbed tail, shoulders sagging and head down, made his way to a decent spot on the outskirts of the mass. Glancing to his left and then to his right, he'd see that he was near a tan and white tom that smelled of Windclan, but that was about it. 'Good find.' It helped to brighten his spirits just slightly, and so he would settle down, tucking his paws beneath himself before turning his pale green eyes up at the towering rocks in which the leaders resided. None of them had started speaking news yet so it was just a waiting game. A waiting game that Ibisprowl did not want to partake in.
Cautiously his gaze would glance over to the other tom again, taking in how he looked. He looked strong, sure of himself, confident. He probably took pride in what he did as a warrior. Flicking his ear, he would look down at the ground in front of him. He didn't have confidence, nor was he strong. Even his voice was weak and soft like the breeze that fluttered by. Nothing like what his father wanted him to be.

Mistpaw quivered," I am not scary, I'm a weak and blind apprentice. I make Windclan weak." she confessed almost crying.
"You are not scared of your Clanmates though?" Cherrypaw pointed out. "Or eating? You are lucky you at least can do stuff without being scared of it!"

Cascadepaw was still so deep in thought, it was easy to see he was thinking very deeply about something. His mother had wished he was in the clans so much, she had named him after an apprentice. She had died, and he had seeked out ShadowClan, and now he was one of them. He still had a ways to go before he would be a warrior, and that was okay. He thought of Kiwibounce, and how much he liked her. He hoped they would be mates one day and that would make him happier than anything. He imagined little gray kittens running around his paws and he purred, still deep in his own thoughts.

-----

Bellpaw blushed shyly, twining her tail with Eaglepaw's and pressing her cheek to his. "Yeah.. me and Eaglepaw were meant to be together, from the moment we were born." She gave a rusty purr. "So, you and Cascadepaw, huh?" She teased Kiwibounce gently.

Lilyfur2

Kiwibounce nodded, blushing slightly. "Yes! We met after I got injured by a badger, actually." She mewed, glancing at Cascadepaw. She smiled at his purr. I wonder what he's thinking...? "Now that I think about it, I'm thankful for that badger. It brought me to this" She realized fondly.

~~~~

Eaglepaw leaned on closer to Bellpaw, holding her tail tightly between his. A warmth spread over him at Bellpaw's words. " We just always knew" He mewed, smiling at the other two cats.

Fawnpaw's jaw dropped open slightly, eyes widening. "Uh, hold on. You... you guys had one of those battles too? I thought it was just RiverClan!" his voice was a panicked hiss, followed by looking over his shoulder as if concerned this was a conversation to be kept private. "I had no idea what was happening, just that my clanmates were attacking each other. It was the..." his nose wrinkled, "Dark Forest?" Fawnpaw didn't believe in the supernatural and was skeptical at best. Now, he was under the impression that was their collective excuse for trying to overthrow their clan leaders if it'd happened in both WindClan and RiverClan.

"I'm glad you have a family that's there for you," he meowed, sincerity dripping through the sentiment. "It's-- I don't know why your, uh, differences would be enough to make you an outcast with anybody. It's like rejecting a cat because their pelt is striped." To Fawnpaw, it didn't make sense.

Snailpaw looked at him with a tilt of her head. "I think it happened in every clan, but I'm not sure.", she meowed in a hushed voice. The apprentice looked at the other cats, hearing some of their coversations, but then blocked it out when he spoke again. "You don't know what the Dark Forest is?", she asked. The young molly gave out a flicker of her skinny tail.

Snailpaw starred down at his paws when he said his last sentences. "My birth mother was too proud for her own good. She didn't want to have a kit with a deformity.", she meowed. She had a better adoptive mother who was a little protective over her and so was her brother Beepaw.

Alarmed to learn that, his stomach flipped with unease as he looked toward the leaders, wondering what they would say of the event. “I know what it is,” he clarified, “I guess. I’m just skeptical, is all…” It seemed outlandish, having cats somewhere among the stars and others in this supposed starless place. “It’d be kind of weird, don’t you think? A realm beyond the physical one.”

Fawnpaw wrinkled his nose at the mention of a mother too proud to care for her kit. “That’s really messed up. Sorry that happened to you.” Although he'd been about to say more, the announcements were beginning, and he shifted his attention to that. "Oh.. I guess it's starting," he murmured to Snailpaw, flashing her a hesitant smile. "It was nice chatting with you."

[ I think we could end the interaction here, if that's fine with you c: ]

Tigerslash returned the smile, though it was faint. "Perhaps the battle, or things going on in their own Clans. Two of them are still missing deputies if I remember correctly," he replied. He was just glad he had found someone to converse with, as opposed to sitting alone like he often did.

It took him by surprise when another cat sat beside him and the scent of ShadowClan wafted off of him in waves, making Featheredwings a little dizzy, not because of the powerful scent, but because it smelled good. Tail flicking with uncertainty the tan tuxedo shifted a little bit, turning his body ever so slightly towards Ibisprowl. "Greetings. he meowed, His voice deep and raspy, blue eyes shining in the moon light. " How is ShadowClan? " he asked, simply trying to make conversation, something he truly wasn't that good at.

The feline shifted again, studying the cat beside him, he seemed like he felt out of place, like he really didn't want to be here at the Gathering, Featheredwings really couldn't blame him, it wasn't really his favorite place either.

Rowanflame purred, agreeing with her comment. "Yes, I think he will as well. He's always had the better moral compass compared to the other clan's leaders, he's respectable and good-natured. He will do his best for Shadowclan, and hopefully in turn for all of us," He replied, his amber gaze inspecting each of the leaders one at a time. Though, he gave little thought to Blazingstar; that war-mongering mousebrain didn't deserve a moment of Rowanflame's time. Fallenstar wasn't very high up on Rowanflame's list, but he was certainly not as hated as Blazingstar. Grousestar was...okay. Rowanflame had never really payed all that much attention to Grousestar, or Skyclan in general - they were so far away, so out of the picture, it was hard to blame him really. Windystar, well, as aforementioned Rowanflame had high hopes for Windystar as leader. He only hoped the cruel side of being leader, the tough desicions and responsibility for so many cat's lives didn't get to the young tom. Finally, he looked at Passionstar; Thunderclan's great and almight leader. Rowanflame truly did hold the Thunderclan tom in high regards, respecting his courage and passion to do what was right by Thunderclan. He did not look to start wars but he was always prepared for them. He was a good and just leader. Thunderclan was truly lucky to have him. As Rowanflame's eyes finally drifted from the leader, he quickly became aware of a certain cat's lack of appearance; Daydream, and his apprentice Goosepaw. He supposed that maybe they had decided not to come for reasons of their own knowledge, but something told him that they weren't here for a different reason. Daydream had always turned up to gatherings, his presence being elsewhere was strange to Rowanflame. "Hm, strange, Daydream isn't here. Nor is his apprentice, Goosepaw. I wonder why?"
Spottedbird bird listened to Rowanflame response then watched as he seemingly sized up the leaders. She didn’t have too strong opinions for any of them. Of corse she respected all the leaders. She had just stopped worrying about the other clans problems unless they affected her, or her clan, of corse. Her mother had always said working gets you nowhere. Rowanflame started speaking pulling her out of her thoughts. “Huh,” she replied, “That’s is weird. I hope there ok,” she said concerned.

(Sorry it took so long. I had some stuff come up.)

Beepaw furrowed his brows, eyes widening for a split second, then narrowing. "You don't have to leave Mousebrain." he told in a flat tone, sitting up straight after. Some pride soon filled his tone, "Southpaw just has to get to know you." he grunted, glaring slightly at the other. Though it wasn't as harsh as his past looks had been, it being slightly softer this time. The blonde tom shook his short pelt slightly, waiting for the two to get along somehow, he didn't care how.

stingerpaw felt reassured at his words, although her subconscious told her he was probably telling her that to make her feel better. what am I thinking? i'm flawless, and i'm proud of it! southpaw cant bring me down! mwahaha, she thought, cheering up almost instantly after beepaw's words and her own upbeat, proud thoughts. "thanks, beebee," stingerpaw whispered, smiling smugly at southpaw. he couldn't get to her, and she was glad. her tail thrummed along the floor, and the apprentice was tempted to accidentally-on-purpose slap southpaw in the face with her fluffy tail. it wouldn't do much damage, she would argue, but after a few seconds of contemplating and analyzing southpaw, she decided against it.

Snailpaw watched as Fawnpaw walked away, feeling herself being alone for once since she got here. The molly looked up at the rock to see her foster brother Beepaw, who was the new medicine cat. His name rang through the clearing after Blazingstar spoke of him.

Otterpaw felt exhilarated. Her first gathering! Seastones was even bigger than she imagined, and so many unique scents filled the air. She trotted around, looking for someone to talk to. Her gaze landed on a black-furred she-cat sitting by herself towards the edge of the crowd. Otterpaw trotted over to her, her tabby-and-cream fur rustling in the wind. The she-cat looked about her age, and smelled of WindClan and the open moors. "Hi," she mewed cheerfully. "What's your name?"

Cedarbug was weaving around the crowd of chatting felines. His intentions weren't clear other than making his way to one specific feline. They had met at a previous gathering and still, the warrior wanted to see him again. He was a warrior this time! He needed to share the news!

Quickly, the warrior spotted the familiarish pelt of Snakecharm and bounded over, skidding to a halt in front of the tom and giving him a friendly smile. "Remember me?!" he inquired joyfully.

Snakecharm sat off to the side of the clearing, the classic tuxedo male with brilliant blues watched as the cats milled about, minding his own business, that was until a voice broke into his cat watching. Turning his head slightly he spotted a slightly familiar orangeish pelt, narrowing his eyes on concentration he gave a small smile, "Cedarpaw!" he purred warmly as the name hit his tongue, " Its nice to see you! " his voice was sweet like honey, warm and welcoming. It had been a while moon since he's seen the apprentice, so unbeknownst to him, the younger tom was now a warrior. Flicking his tail he smiled, " How have you been? "

Gatherings were an anxious time for the ShadowClan Warrior known as Adderbite. He hadn't been born in the Clans, and he had made some mistakes in his past, so he often felt defensive. Defensiveness did not bode well with his fiery disposition.

As it was, he decided to hang back to the outer skirts of the Clearing. He couldn't really see the leaders from his vantage point, but he could still hear them. As he sat there, he had one of those vibes that clearly said 'Do not under any circumstances approach'. But at the same time, if one looked closer, they could see he had a lonely glint in his hazel gaze. It wasn't just anger and unease. He shared no kinship with the Clans, so watching them converse with one another at the Gatherings so easily always left a hollow feeling in his belly.

He knew that he was to blame for this. He could very well throw himself among the throng of cats and converse with them, but his fear of his own explosive tendencies caused him to hesitate. What if he said something offensive that got ShadowClan into trouble? What if he said something that caused a fight? His soft bushy tail twitched as he hunched his shoulders and his head hung forward miserably.

Oh, what a mopey tom cat he was.

The orange and white feline puffed out his chest and lifted his head a little bit in pride. "Actually, I'm Cedarbug now!" he corrected Snakecharm playfully, waving his tail with happiness. "I got my warrior name finally!" he continued. His eyes were alight with joy, it was almost kittish in the way he spoke and acted. He hadn't grown up yet. Cedarbug was just another kit-like warrior. "I've been well though! Being a warrior has been fun, I can't wait until I get my first apprentice, I feel like I have so much to teach and show others," he continued, noting he was rambling on a bit. "How about you? Has everything been well for you?"

BILL.
Mintberry was watching and listening to the leader give their news, however her green gaze drifted to a hauntingly familiar orange pelt sitting not too far from her at the base of the rocks. Where did she know that pelt from? Who was it even? A new deputy? Unsure of the feline, she found herself creeping a little closer to investigate. Perhaps their scent would give it away? Without really thinking about it, Mintberry was staring at Lionstorm very intensely. If he were to notice, it'd be an awkward explanation.

Snakecharm flicked his ears in surprise a smile spreading over his face, with a purr he gave the other cat a lick on his head, "Well done!" he purred warmly , genuine happiness in his voice and eyes. The tuxedo was a few moons older than Cedarbug but that didn't stop him from liking the young tom and admiring his positivity. Flicking his long tail he smiled again, listening to his news a chuckle leaving his lips, " Unfortunately nothing exciting has happened to me yet. " he said lightly, " I haven't had an apprentice yet either. " he mewed, " Id sure like one though. " he gave another smile eyes glowing brightly.

She flicked her tail nervously,” I am scared of my clanmates. My denmates threw rocks at me as a kit.”
"I was hurt by my denmates too!" Cherrypaw said. "They would force me to wrestle with them, and they'd tease me."

Otterpaw felt exhilarated. Her first gathering! Seastones was even bigger than she imagined, and so many unique scents filled the air. She trotted around, looking for someone to talk to. Her gaze landed on a black-furred she-cat sitting by herself towards the edge of the crowd. Otterpaw trotted over to her, her tabby-and-cream fur rustling in the wind. The she-cat looked about her age, and smelled of WindClan and the open moors. "Hi," she mewed cheerfully. "What's your name?"

Snailpaw looked at the other cat with her deformed face. Her lower eye fixed on the other molly. She twitched her small nose. "My name's Snailpaw. What's yours?", she asked with a friendly smile. Snailpaw gave her tail a few flicks from left to right.

"I'm Otterpaw," she mewed cheerfully. She noticed that one of Snailpaw's eyes was a bit lower than her other - facial deformity? she wondered. She brushed away the thought; it didn't matter what Snailpaw looked like. "So, is this your first Gathering?" she asked. "It's my first Gathering. There's so many cats here! I had no idea the other Clans were so big! I just became an apprentice, did you know? My ceremony was just yesterday; my mentor's Mintflower. She's pretty cool, except sometimes she gets assigned to patrols and I don't, which stinks, because I like patrols... Oh, sorry, am I rambling? I do that sometimes..." She cocked her head to the side. "So, you're from WindClan, right? That's neat. Do you really catch rabbits? You must be really fast. What do rabbits taste like, anyway?"

Palepaw padding along the clearing, her eyes narrowed and her tail flicking. The seven moon apprentice sighed and sat down, one eye a pale blue, while the other a dark green. She was blind in one eye, and that is why her name is Palepaw.

Hurricanepaw, a dark grey tom from Riverclan, padded into the clearing where all the other clans had gathered. The tom settled somewhat in the middle his silver tipped tail folded neatly over his paws. He had to set a good example for the clan, at least one better than his family had made. Taking up a paw he began washing it only to rub himself behind the ears. It was itchy to say the least and the tom wished he had a chance to take swim in the river before he had to go, but it was no no for apprentices to go off on their own... Letting out a slightly annoyed sigh the tom looked around for any other apprentices. Spotting a grey tabby molly that surprisingly smelled of Windclan - her build was nothing like the scrawny windclan cats the apprentice had seen before he ran over to her.

"Hi! I'm Hurricanepaw. I'm from Riverclan. Who are you?" He sat down directly in front of her his ears flicking back and forth. One was shredded to scraps but he still kept turning it back and forth. His hearing was too over sensitive and the tom was starting to develop a small headache. It was normal for him though and he just kept flicking his ears to all sides. It would help him to keep focused on the matter of hand instead of all of a sudden being drawn into a conversation nearby. It frustrated him greatly but he looked back at the grey molly. "You're quite... strong looking for a Windclan cat I must say. Your build is something different from all the other rabbit chasers. I met a scrawny looking tom once. Didn't see a single spec of fat on him. Too skinny. He looked pretty similar to you. Whoever you are."

Bunnypaw had promised herself that she would behave herself this gathering. The last two gathering she wasn't allowed to attend because of her erratic behavior, as her mentor would claim she had. She was a bit of a troublemaker...but was having fun really considered troublemaking? It was absurd! It was like ever since she became an apprentice it was all about work this and work that. Not to mention her family life was all sorts of mixed up. She couldn't keep up with her parents, her father seemed to have lost his sanity, and her mother seemed to be a hollow ghost in her body. With everything out of balance, Bunnypaw believed she deserved a little bit of relaxation. Going to a gathering was pretty exciting, she would admit. The leaders all looked so majestic as they spoke...

however her view was blocked by the sudden appearance of some other feline in front of her. He surprised her so much that the molly stumbled back and practically tripped over her own tail. ''Oof!'' She lost her balance, composing herself and getting back up. He started to introduce himself, which made Bunnypaw automatically know where he was from. ''Riverclan. Of course, ya guys surely hava...acquired smell.'' She wasn't offending him, at least not trying to, but riverclan cats always smelled fishy. The first impression she was getting from this tom was that he was a little weird. She tilted her head at him, blinking her eyes. Apparently he was admiring her build? ''Is that 'pposed to be a good thing or a bad one, buckaroo? Are ya sayin' I'm too built for a molly? Or are ya jus tryin to lowkey say I'm pudgy?'' She pretended to be upset, having to somewhat get in his face in a playful challenging mode. He mentioned some other tom that looked like her. Bunnypaw knew she had two brothers that were in starclan, so obviously this riverclan tom didn't know anything about them. The next best guess was her father, but that was a topic she did not want to talk about. Her whiskers wiggled on her face, and she twitched her ears. ''My name's Bunnypaw!'' She chirped in a light giggle, briefly tapping her nose against his own playfully, a move she inherited from her mother without intentions.

{The tabby male he mentions is my blind OC Eagle who's currently extremely skinny, just to have some context to his comparison}

The gray tom was shocked to say the least as she bumped her nose against his. "Well.. It's good to see you Bunnypaw." He shuffled his paws slightly, his ears again switching back and forth. There were too many cats at this gathering although he supposed that together they would roughly be the sizes of two clans. It was unusual for him to be this disturbed by the sounds but he tried to focus on her words and when she thought he was insulting her he said hurriedly, "Eh... No. I just meant... most of Windclan cats are skinny. Like that brown tabby tom over there." He gestured to the three cats that were sitting not too far off from them. The tom seemed extremely skinny for a Windclan cat. "You.. You look more like me. Or more like a Thunderclan if it is an insult to be called a Riverclan cat." Not thinking that he might insult the she-cat by calling her a Thunderclan either the tom sat back on his haunches. "Like you basically isn't a scrawny rabbit chasers like most of your clan. I would like to think I resemble a fishing cat a lot... "

"Ya know with my big shoulders - they're somewhat big I think. - and my paws and fur. My father always told me I had the sleekest fur out of my siblings and I. I don't ever get wet really when I swim... Its nice but its also a slight problem. When its hot I like to swim but I don't ever get as cooled down as my littermates. Cause the cold never really sticks. What do you Windclan cats do on a sunny day? Stay down in rabbit burrows don't you? How could you ever go down into one though? I heard some of your hunters chase rabbits all the way to their nests. What a waste of effort when you can just have a nice time by the river and wait for the fish to show up."

As Shinefang made his way to the medicine cat meeting spot, Tallmarsh finally followed suit. She wondered how the battle had gone in the other Clans. She was sure the other medicine cats were equally busy. She wouldn't be the one to tell the others what happened. And she wouldn't be the one to talk first. Instead, she sat down at the meeting spot and scanned her good eye over the crowd for Daydream. The ShadowClanner was nowhere to be found. Were they demoted? Tallmarsh hated for that to be her first train of thought, but with everything that happened recently, she wouldn't be surprised if another high rank got demoted. It seemed that no one could keep a rank for very long these days. In spite of herself, Tallmarsh mumbled out a quiet, "Hello."
Rosemew Dipper

One of the old tom's torn ears gave a flick as he heard a muttered voice. He gave a small, sidelong glance and would have said nothing had he not noticed that familiar way the shecat who spoke held her head. It was the same, slightly off kilter way he held his own to look at something more directly with his remaining. So he spared more than a glance for the shecat. She was tall, younger that him, but what cat wasn't. And sure enough, one eye seemed to be better than the other. He looked away then and muttered a quick "Hey," back to her. He didn't ask her name. Why bother?

Lionstorm wasn't blind. He could see the tuxedo female creep toward him, and his eyes narrowed as he watched her. There was something... oddly familiar about her, but he didn't know what that could be.

Curious, he made his way toward her, the tip of his tail twitching. "You know, a lot of cats don't like being stared down."

Curious, he made his way toward her, the tip of his tail twitching. "You know, a lot of cats don't like being stared down."
Mintberry's felt the heat flush under her pelt as her act of staring was noticed. She wanted to cringe and run away, but now she had to face this tom. She cleared her throat, straightening up to try and make herself look dignified, although her smaller stature failed her. "Ahah, yeah, I'm one of those, my apologies," she replied. The tom's scent finally drifted into her nose... RiverClan... and... there was something oddly familiar. Had they crossed paths before? Her brows furrowed in thought.

Snakecharm flicked his ears in surprise a smile spreading over his face, with a purr he gave the other cat a lick on his head, "Well done!" he purred warmly , genuine happiness in his voice and eyes.

Cedarbug's pelt burned with embarrassment from being licked and excitement from the approval. "Aw man, well I hope you get some excitement soon and maybe an apprentice! I guess I'm still too new at being a warrior to have one right now, but I can't wait!" the thought made the warrior's body vibrate with excitement. That was something that Cedarbug never outgrew. "So... your leader said the clan turned on each other too. I guess the Dark Forest was after all the clans," he frowned slightly. It was a horrible thing for them to have gone through, now everyone was suspicious of each other.

Snakecharm gave him a smile, " Maybe we could make some excitement? " his words were completely innocent, " Maybe we could go look for some interesting critters at the border sometime soon. " his smile stayed at the thought of hanging out with Cedarbug outside the gathering, it was the only safe place for other cats to speak. Ears flicking the tuxedo gave a huff, " Yeah... " he wasn't too keen on speaking of the betrayal, in fact it almost made him sick to think of it. Their beloved and loyal Clanmates turning on each other.. The tomcat looked at his paws for a moment before looking back at his companion, he took a little bit of pleasure knowing that Cedarbug, our of anyone he knew, would never turn on him, and that thought made his heart flutter and his belly tighten. Snakecharm, for all his flaunting and snarky words, was loyal to the core, he would never let anything come between he and his Clan or he and Cedarbug, he thought highly about the younger cat and wished deeply they were in the same Clan, just so he had someone to talk to all the time, someone to count on. Huffing again he looked around them and noticed all the cats were still in their Clans, at least those who were still on edge, and then there were those like the two of them mingling like it should be.

(Ahh sorry this is so late. My laptop broke ;; )

Fawnpaw listened intently to the leaders as they spoke of Clan affairs, trying to soak in every word that they shared. Having never truly experienced the entirety a gathering before, he was thoroughly enamored by everything, all of it: the crowd of cats, how the leaders carried themselves and what they spoke of as important happenings within the Clan. Most intriguingly, how they regarded one another. It’d been especially enjoyable conversing with Snailpaw, a connection he would’ve otherwise never been able to forge since they were of different alliances… and that thought reminded him briefly of Cinderpaw, recalling their run-in at the border. The memory of their discussion warmed him, and with some hope, he attempted to scan the sea of felines for any sign of her.

Several seconds of searching yielded a heartbeat-skipping result, as he was pretty sure Cinderpaw had fallen within his line of sight… but to approach, that was now the issue he inwardly debated, uncertain if that would be considered weird — he didn’t want to embarrass himself or her. Perhaps she had friends that she’d prefer to be talking with, but he still hesitantly padded closer, remaining very lukewarm in his approach as if ready to bolt if she displayed any sort of displeasure with his presence.

A grey speckled Molly sat in boredom as she heard the leaders address issues among the clans, Looking down at her paws she started to pluck at the grass occasionally releasing a sigh or two- How much longer did she have to listen to this? CinderPaw never was one to get excited over clan news or fuss about it, she wasn't sure why but what they talked about never interested her unless it was something well- interesting.The young Molly sat, her face unusually blank.'I wonder if anyone else is bored of this? Oh is that WindClan over there?! I heard they are so fast- I wonder what a Rabbit would taste like...'. Her mind rambled on nonsense as CinderPaw got carried away into her fantasy land.

CinderPaw was snapped from her thoughts once she heard a cat from behind her growl, she furrowed her brows slightly, upset that she was deprived of her only form of entertainment- which were her own thoughts. The Molly sighed as she gazed around but Suddenly a certain cat entered her Vision, her face brightened considerably as she recognised who it was."FawnPaw!".Having disregard others around her she exclaimed the brown tom's name cheerfully.

Gatherings? Intimidating? Not for this little cream and silver molly. Oh no, the RiverClan she-cat was far from intimated! Her head was held high and she had the hugest grin on her face. It was almost as if she was in her element. There were so many scents, and sights, that Pebblepaw couldn't possibly focus on just one thing! Even though she was supposed to be on her best behavior, there was no way she was going to sit still. She just couldn't! She wanted to make as many friends as she could, even if they weren't in RiverClan. That was okay, right? As long as she remained loyal to RiverClan?

Having made her decision, the excitable apprentice leapt to her paws. She was so enthusiastic, in fact, that she almost fell over. Thankfully, she managed to keep her balance or she would have toppled over into the cat sitting beside her. She knew that she was supposed to be listening to what the leaders had to say, as it was important, but that was boring! They always said the same negative things... and only a little of it was ever good news. How did she know this without having attended a Gathering previously? Well, let's just say, she could be a little nosy observant at times.

She picked her way through the older cats, trying to find someone who was closer to her age that she could converse with. All the while, she was trying to make sure that she didn't trod on another cat's tail or paws. It was a feat made even more difficult because she hadn't grown into her own paws. A clear indication that she was likely going to be a large cat one day. There was a possibility, as a matter of fact, that she had Norweigan Forest cat in her lineage somewhere. Everything from the length and texture of her fur, to the size of her feet, to even her build suggested this. All except for her ears which, instead of being upright and pointed, were folded forwards.

Between struggling to decide if it’d be courteous to approach during the gathering, or if that was even acceptable, Fawnpaw found himself awkwardly staring on at Cinderpaw from a small distance away. His paws wouldn’t let him draw any closer, too entangled in his own insecurities and fearing she’d cast him aside. However, he was drawn to the present when her voice rang above any noise of the crowd, causing him to straighten with tension and surprise. “Cinderpaw,” he greeted, his more hesitant but equally joyful. “It’s really nice to see you here, I wasn't sure if you'd come.” And with that, he began padding closer to take a seat beside her.

“Is.. everything okay?” he asked, the words blurted and stilted. “I mean, because… I don’t know, you just seemed kind of unhappy.” Fawnpaw recalled her picking at the grass, an expression of discontent situated atop her features. Although he was tempted to venture a hypothesis as to why that’d be the case, his logical mind pointed to circumstances, yet that didn’t make sense to him when he wasn’t sure why she wouldn’t enjoy this. It appeared even more appropriate for a social butterfly like her, rather than a wide-eyed, quiet observer like himself.

I was really hoping to see you but I sorta forgot to look for you".Spotting a ladybug on the ground,CinderPaw pondered somewhat to herself,'O! A ladybug! I wonder what it's like to be a bug- being able to fly and see everything as really big things! Even the fresh kill would be bigger in the bugs view!'.

"Hm?". Hearing FawnPaw voice his concern, she tilted her head slightly before realising what he meant- her mouth formed into an 'O' shape."Oh yeah! I'm fine! I just find the Leaders conversations to be reallyyyy boring! I was waiting for it to end so I could socialise with other apprentices and make some new friends! I tried too beforehand but- i don't think the Warriors appreciate me joining in on their serious conversation, oh well!". Her tone was energetic as she shrugged her shoulders.

"I do," he replied with a smile. "I just don't think the others would appreciate anything happening at the Gathering," he replied. "Besides, I think that the recent events have taken a toll on almost everyone." He replied. His tail curled around his paws and he pricked his ears, attempting to hear anything important. "I hope the cats who worked with the Dark Forest learned that they were manipulated. Still, I heard some kept on the others side."

Tansy'Jaw nodded softly as she perked her ears to listen, before speaking quietly."All I hope for is that the recent events don't repeat itself in the future...".Just the thought of it caused her fur to fluff up slightly with unease.

It took him by surprise when another cat sat beside him and the scent of ShadowClan wafted off of him in waves, making Featheredwings a little dizzy, not because of the powerful scent, but because it smelled good. Tail flicking with uncertainty the tan tuxedo shifted a little bit, turning his body ever so slightly towards Ibisprowl. "Greetings. he meowed, His voice deep and raspy, blue eyes shining in the moon light. " How is ShadowClan? " he asked, simply trying to make conversation, something he truly wasn't that good at.

The feline shifted again, studying the cat beside him, he seemed like he felt out of place, like he really didn't want to be here at the Gathering, Featheredwings really couldn't blame him, it wasn't really his favorite place either.
The black and white tom was acutely aware of the tom he sat next to, the movements he made and naturally when he began to speak to him. Flicking his ears, Ibisprowl allowed himself to fully turn his head and look at the tom who acknowledged him, the tom that smelled of Windclan, the tom who had more self-confidence and strength than he could ever dream of and the tom who's voice made his heart flutter involuntarily. Part of him wanted to flatten his ears and look away, ignore the fact that the tom had ever spoken to him and move on with his life, but it was too late. He cursed himself with getting entranced so easily, the voice, the confidence, the politeness of starting a conversation with him even though they were in separate clans. Awkwardly, Ibisprowl shifted his paws below himself, anything to get him to stop just.. Staring at this tom, picking out his words so that he could form an intelligent sentence.

"Uh, hello.." His voice was incredibly soft and delicate, like that of the wind, in fact, it could almost be lost under the din of cats around them. Ibisprowl hated how nervous he felt, how his heart strained and thudded in his chest. He could feel his cheeks warm at the attention of this amazing other tom, even if he didn't know him. "I... Guess they're going well. Windystar appointed a deputy and he seems to be doing an okay job as leader.. I.. Don't pay attention too much, I just try to get my work done and..." Words stopped coming out, Ibisprowl not wanting to reveal that he'd rather sit in the territory, away from everyone, as opposed to doing his duties. So instead, he just kind of shrugged and offered a hesitant smile. "How.. Are things in um, Windclan?" He had to flicker his gaze away, he didn't want the other tom to feel weirded out by his wide-eyed staring.

Featheredwings couldn't help the small smile that flickered across his features. Long tail curling over his paws he leaned forward, ears perked to hear the other males soft and delicate voice over the rest of the cats around them. Unconsciously shifting towards him, just so he could hear his voice better, but in doing so it allowed him to feel the heat from the others body, warm and inviting, like a neat you curled up in after a long day. It made him uneasy. Twitching his ears he chuckled, he could understand not paying attention to closely to the goings on around the camp, half the time he didn't know what was going either.

Ibisprowl was seeming more and more like him and it was strange, he's never found anyone like that. Clearing his throat (even though it wouldn't help the raspy tenor that held in his voice) he spoke, "WindClan is doing well. Beepaw is turning out to be a wonderful medicine cat even though they're young." he gave a shrug of his lean shoulders. He couldn't help his blue eyes from wandering over the other males form, so soft and delicate looking, so unlike a ShadowClan cat. There was something, and he couldn't place it, that seemed to draw him closer to Ibisprowl. For some reason, he wanted to do nothing but curl around him and cuddle him. It was weird, he want that kind of cat. What was this cat doing to his heart and his head?

(I'm so sorry for the late reply I have been sick )

CinderPaw smiled brightly at FawnPaw as he greeted her."I'm glad to see you too! I was really hoping to see you but I sorta forgot to look for you".Spotting a ladybug on the ground,CinderPaw pondered somewhat to herself,'O! A ladybug! I wonder what it's like to be a bug- being able to fly and see everything as really big things! Even the fresh kill would be bigger in the bugs view!'. Realising she was being rude by not talking she quickly spoke."S-Sorry I accidentally got distracted....again...".she flashed a small innocent smile, CinderPaw will admitt that she was easily distracted at times.

"Hm?". Hearing FawnPaw voice his concern, she tilted her head slightly before realising what he meant- her mouth formed into an 'O' shape."Oh yeah! I'm fine!

((Oh gosh same, no worries))

Blinking at her with a tilt of his head, he wondered if he should be concerned at that, or even offended, but… he supposed it wasn’t unexpected, perhaps attributed more to Cinderpaw’s attention span than a reflection of him. But even so, he was flattered by the other bit of what she’d said. “Yeah,” he said, meow an echo, “I was hoping to see you too, I just.. wasn’t sure if you’d want to talk or if you might think it’d be weird or something. I don't know the protocol around here.” Fawnpaw glanced around, careful to look for any eyes that might be lingering on them with suspicion but he breathed a sigh of relief when there were none. “Wait, by what?” he inquired, curious. “I know there’s a lot to focus on here. It’s kind of… chaotic, to be honest.”

A flicker of surprise settled on his features as she explained why she was disenchanted with the proceedings of the gathering. “You don’t think it’s fascinating, hearing the news of the Clans or even the politics?” he asked, not judgmental but perplexed. “I guess maybe you’ve been to more of them, but.. this is sort of my first real one. Last time, I couldn’t go because I was sick.” It was telling that she was here to make connections and friendships, whereas Fawnpaw had arrived with ambitions of learning — a vast difference, but one he could respect and nevertheless admired. He wished he could be as talkative and extroverted as Cinderpaw.

Nervously his paws kneaded the ground as he saw the Windclan tom lean ever so slightly toward him, likely to hear his voice better. Oh how he wanted to run, run away so that he didn't have to feel these feelings anymore, and yet he was glued to his spot, nervously glancing back at Featheredwings every so often. The chuckle, the deep raspy chuckle caused his breath to catch in his throat, his gaze lingering on the other tom for a moment. You will likely never meet this tom again. Stop. The thought saddened him. Because he did want to see this tom again. He wanted to hear that chuckle again.

"That's.. That's certainly good to hear.. Um, I'm.. Ibisprowl. Sorry if I seem.. Weird, I just. I don't like being around a lot of other cats." Part of him was proud, he believed that to be a good cover up for his nervousness. That's if the other cat even noticed it, maybe his imagination was being overactive and there was no chance that this tom would notice his odd behavior. After all, Featheredwings didn't know what his normal behavior was like anyways. You're thinking too much.

He wished he could be as talkative and extroverted as Cinderpaw.

CinderPaw blinked before directing her head toward the ladybug on the ground."By the ladybug! I was wondering what it would be like to be a bug...Anyway! what exactly do you mean by Chaotic?". She inquired in a curious and energetic tone but she suddenly realised that the brown Tom sounded a little perplexed earlier. Her multicoloured eyes looked at him before she started feeling mildly confused why FawnPaw was glancing around a lot.'Maybe he's nervous? O! Maybe he's having a mental breakdown inside his mind! I should help him!'. She thought this Determinedly after pondering ideas. The grey speckled Molly spoke softly."Don't fret too much FawnPaw! Of course I wanted to see you- you are my friend after all! Also you shouldn't worry about what others think so much, being yourself is all that matters". She smiled brightly as she spoke her words of encouragement.

CinderPaw then looked a little perplexed at his question speaking in a calmer tone."Well- it's not that I'm uninterested in just not a fan of hearing the leaders argue all the time, they do have their peaceful moments but sometimes the hostility at gatherings can become extreme and...it sorta scares me..". She looked at her paws somewhat her ears bent back a bit, she remembered how unsettling it was to watch cats among the clans give intense glares to one another. CinderPaw quickly shook the thoughts away and spoke in a peppy tone."Anyway, I'm really glad someone I know is here to talk with me, it's no fun being at the gathering alone". She smiled happily at FawnPaw.

“Oh,” his attention drifted toward the ground as he saw what was described to him as a ‘ladybug’, and he leaned closer for a better look at the spotted red-black shell. “That’s a ladybug?” Fawnpaw had been born during leaf-fall and could only remember as far back as leaf-bare during the time RiverClan had been driven out. “I’ve never seen one of these before, it’s kind of weird how many more things there are to explore and find in new-leaf.” Soon, it would be green-leaf too, a prosperous time for the Clans. When she asked what he’d meant by chaotic, he sheepishly said, “It’s just a little overwhelming, having so many cats in one place. And there’s a lot going on too, with the discussions and the leaders and everything.” Maybe she wouldn’t get it, seemingly at home among the crowd albeit bored — again, he wished he could be as garrulous and vibrant. Gaze softening, the edges of the anxiety did the same as she spoke to him calmly even if it seemed saccharine to a logical mind; he could appreciate it nonetheless, finding himself smiling faintly at Cinderpaw.

“I don’t think they’ve been arguing too much,” he said, “unless this is arguing.” Fawnpaw had nothing to compare it to, the last gathering he’d attended was one he’d been dragged away from so as not to contaminate others with the cough. However, listening to them suggested a sort of semi-peace cold war was going on, and it was uncomfortable, threatening to escalate once somebody stepped out of line. “I’m just glad there hasn’t been any fights recently, at least not with RiverClan, and it sounds like everything's going okay in the Clans according to the leaders.” It was a disturbing thought to remember that Cinderpaw was from ShadowClan, and they could theoretically face political interference in their friendship. After a small bout of silence, he confessed, “I.. I get it though, I can see why you’d be scared. It's so-- I don't know, worrying to think that they can sentence us to life or death on a whim over a stretch of territory.”

Her energetic aura returned and she looked expectantly at the brown Tom a bright look in her multicoloured eyes.

While waiting for the toms reply her thoughts suddenly started up again distracting her.'I wonder how far a RiverClan cat can swim in a day- O! Too bad I can't swim I would totally beat all those RiverClan cats- Maybe FawnPaw could teach me once he learnt how to!'. But her hopes were soon crushed as she just realised they were from different clans which meant they weren't really allowed to be so friendly with each other which made the Molly a little sad since she wanted to be friends with FawnPaw.

Featheredwings again gave a small smile. There feeling of nervousness wafted from the cat before him, whether Ibisprowl knew it or not, the feeling was unmistakable, but he wasn't going to give him away. Flicking his tail the feline gave a hum, he wasn't used to these feelings he was having, they were strange. Why did this cat make his stomach clench involuntarily? Why did this make him want to move closer? WHy... He shook his head and outwardly huffed.

Soft gray paws shifted a little bit under his body, Featheredwings is my name. " he answered, Ibisprowl.. the name stuck to his brain, to his tongue. He bit the inside of his cheek and twitched his ears. You're not weird, I assure you. he chuckled, " I'm not a fan of gatherings myself. " he admitted lightly with a shrug. There was something about this cat that was drawing him to him, but it was forbidden.... Damn.. the thought was sad, and sadly he only had a limited time with him.

Snakecharm gave him a smile, " Maybe we could make some excitement? " his words were completely innocent, " Maybe we could go look for some interesting critters at the border sometime soon. " his smile stayed at the thought of hanging out with Cedarbug outside the gathering, it was the only safe place for other cats to speak. Ears flicking the tuxedo gave a huff, " Yeah... " he wasn't too keen on speaking of the betrayal, in fact it almost made him sick to think of it. Their beloved and loyal Clanmates turning on each other.. The tomcat looked at his paws for a moment before looking back at his companion, he took a little bit of pleasure knowing that Cedarbug, our of anyone he knew, would never turn on him, and that thought made his heart flutter and his belly tighten. Snakecharm, for all his flaunting and snarky words, was loyal to the core, he would never let anything come between he and his Clan or he and Cedarbug, he thought highly about the younger cat and wished deeply they were in the same Clan, just so he had someone to talk to all the time, someone to count on. Huffing again he looked around them and noticed all the cats were still in their Clans, at least those who were still on edge, and then there were those like the two of them mingling like it should be.

Cedarbug lit up a little as the other tom suggested exploring along the border. Surely, that'd be fine! It wasn't the first time he would've met a cat from another clan at the border and nothing terrible happened last time. However, this naive thinking would come back and bite him eventually, Cedarbug just wasn't aware of that yet. "Okay! That sounds fun! he agreed finally, giving him a rapid nod of his head.

Cedarbug noted that the other tom didn't seem to want to talk about the battles everyone endured so he dropped the subject and moved on. His brows furrowed with thought.

A young silver rouge rustled threw the bushes. Her fear caused her to barley hear what others were saying. “I hope I’m not noticed...” the young tabby whispered. She took a long look around, then grabbed the bark of a nearby tree. She painted as she climbed to the nearest branch. Once she was up, she leaped to a branch that huge above the gathered cats. She glared down, fear striking her as she noticed the large number of cats. She then pirched up on the branch, waiting for anything to happen.

Glazewing kept to the edge of the clearing. His mismatched eyes scanned the crowd of cats, looking for Moonpaw. He wasn't sure if he was excited or nervous to see her, but his chest was fluttering all the same. He spotted her pale gray coat among the other ShadowClanners and opened his mouth to call out her name, but stopped. He didn't know what he would say to her. She knew he was upset with her about the Dark Forest and the battle. Despite this, he knew that he still cared for her and he still wanted to see her. He decided he would wait a while to talk to her. He followed her from a distance as she made a beeline for their usual meeting spot. She began to look around the clearing, and the tom ducked into the crowd, making it seem like he was just milling around. Her voice rose over the chatter, calling his name, and he turned to look towards her with wide eyes. "Moonpaw!" he called back as he trotted over. He reached her and stopped, glancing around. They were very much out in public. "It's good to see you again," he said after a moment of hesitation. He couldn't help the hurt expression that came over his face whenever he saw her now. It wasn’t only because she trained with the Dark Forest, fought on the opposing side, but also because it hurt him to see her hurt or in pain. He was upset with her, but he couldn’t control his heart. The heart wants what it wants, so to speak. “Have your wounds be healing?”
Gemini [just realized i never tagged you in this or anything T-T im sorry!]
as he walked over with such hesitation her heart dropped, it was just... sinking. she could see the hurt burning on his face although he was trying to hide it at his pained words she looked at her own paws in dismay, she knew what she had done was wrong, there was nobody to blame but herself. she looked at him ears twitching awkwardly as he asked his question “as well as they could be...” she said with a sigh her blue eyes matching his expression. “glazewing....” she said quietly “can’t we put what happened in the past...” she said her voice become a bit louder “i made a mistake, a bad one, but we all make mistakes...” she said shaking. moonpaw couldn’t bare the thought of losing him to her own ignorance! she had been an idiot and she knew it but moonpaw would do whatever it took to be with him she just wanted them to be ok. though her inner monologue raced she stayed silent her blue eyes almost watering.

Too bad I can't swim I would totally beat all those RiverClan cats- Maybe FawnPaw could teach me once he learnt how to!'. But her hopes were soon crushed as she just realised they were from different clans which meant they weren't really allowed to be so friendly with each other which made the Molly a little sad since she wanted to be friends with FawnPaw.
“Oh, uh, no,” he admitted, “I haven’t… but maybe soon? There just hasn’t really been a good time.” Mostly, he’d stayed confined to camp, a fate of his own creation since he hadn’t felt motivated to go beyond the reedy walls after the odd passing of his mentor and mental mess that’d followed. “My training has sort of come to a halt, so I haven’t been doing anything like that. I’ll let you know when I do, but I wouldn’t expect too much distance-wise because it looks kind of tricky and who knows if I’ll be any good at it.” When he raised his eyes to hers, he noticed the dichromatic scheme and wasn’t sure he’d registered that before but was intrigued. He’d seen the same in Lionstorm, but it manifested differently in that it was sectoral.

“How has your training been?” he asked as he shook his thoughts from her eyes. “I bet ShadowClan does exciting stuff like… I don’t know, go out at night?” Sneak around? He had no idea. “Don’t you guys have swamps in your territory…?” That was accompanied by the slightest wrinkle of his nose as he considered the mushy terrain. “Are they deep enough to swim in?”

CinderPaw spoke in a soft energetic way her multicoloured eyes flashed brightly."Aw, don't say that! I'm sure you will do great, I bet you're going to be the best swimmer in RiverClan! FawnPaw the swimming champion! Or maybe the swimming beast? No that doesn't sound right...O! How about FawnPaw the swimming annihilator!".The grey speckled molly's face looked very determined as she looked at the brown tom, CinderPaw knew that if she was to swim that she would probably just end up sinking to the bottom of the river before she could get anywhere."If I was in RiverClan I would probably sink as soon as I get in the water!".She laughed a little in amusement- she was honestly glad she didn't have to swim to catch her prey although she was curious what fish tasted like.

Hearing FawnPaw question her own training she blinked a little before smiling brightly."Oh! LittleBee recently taught me the trick to sneaking up on frogs! I have never been able to catch many of them since im a little bit of a clutz...I'm better at being quiet now though!". CinderPaw repositioned herself, getting more comfortable before speaking happily in reply to his assumption."Well sometimes DunlinPaw and I, have a competition to see who can stay awake the longest- he always wins though...". Saying that she pouted slightly, CinderPaw never understood how her brother was so good at well, staying awake. She was a little surprised that he was being more talkative with her but she felt glad that they were becoming better friends."I don't particularly know if they are deep enough to swim in since I am not too keen on jumping head first into the swamps but they sure look deep enough to swim in". Her tone was softer than before, obviously seeming more settled down.

"Really? Thanks!" Cherrypaw couldn't believe that someone had called her brave. She was really happy.
She gave a little nod,” Yeah.” She whispered,” You are brave. I’m Mistpaw by the way.” She nervously added. Despite her effort to trust the young Shadowclan apprentice she kept having a thought cross her mind What if she is pretending to be nice and will turn on me once I trust her...

One of the old tom's torn ears gave a flick as he heard a muttered voice. He gave a small, sidelong glance and would have said nothing had he not noticed that familiar way the shecat who spoke held her head. It was the same, slightly off kilter way he held his own to look at something more directly with his remaining. So he spared more than a glance for the shecat. She was tall, younger that him, but what cat wasn't. And sure enough, one eye seemed to be better than the other. He looked away then and muttered a quick "Hey," back to her. He didn't ask her name. Why bother?

Tallmarsh glanced at Shinefang again. He didn't seem to recognize her. She didn't blame him--she barely recognized herself at this point. She tried to sit up a bit taller, but her sore shoulder groaned in protest. It was almost healed, but it was still as painful as ever. "How has healing been after the...recent events?" she sighed. She hoped that no cat had died, although that may be to good to be true. The battles were bloody and brutal--that's what they had planned, and that's what had happened in ThunderClan. She had been struggling herself to heal the other cats in a timely manner. As it turns out, it's a bit more difficult to do your medicine cat duties when you yourself are wounded.

as he walked over with such hesitation her heart dropped, it was just... sinking. she could see the hurt burning on his face although he was trying to hide it at his pained words she looked at her own paws in dismay, she knew what she had done was wrong, there was nobody to blame but herself. she looked at him ears twitching awkwardly as he asked his question “as well as they could be...” she said with a sigh her blue eyes matching his expression. “glazewing....” she said quietly “can’t we put what happened in the past...” she said her voice become a bit louder “i made a mistake, a bad one, but we all make mistakes...” she said shaking. moonpaw couldn’t bare the thought of losing him to her own ignorance! she had been an idiot and she knew it but moonpaw would do whatever it took to be with him she just wanted them to be ok. though her inner monologue raced she stayed silent her blue eyes almost watering.

Glazewing sighed, his brow furrowing in a concerned expression. "You went against your own Clan. What were you thinking? You could have been killed!" As he spoke his voice rose steadily in volume and urgency, and his voice cracked on the last word. He stared at her for a moment as he thought about how he was going to phrase his next words. He dropped his voice to barely a whisper, so that only Moonpaw could hear. "I love you, and if anything happened to you, I don't know what I'd do." His mismatched eyes were pools of chaos, unchecked emotions swirling within.

Pale blue eyes turned silver-white under the moon's soft emitting light that shone every cat's pelt like a casted spell, glowing in the darkness when traveling to the gathering. The whole way he didn't utter a word, only flickering his ears to hear his clan-mates utter a few words of concern. Even some apprentices his age spoke about it but he couldn't put his two cents about the drama that occurred. He's new to the clan life after all so right now..honestly, he doesn't feel the effect or worry like everyone else. A slight pang of guilt hit his heart, the young feline sighed.
One paw step after another out of boredom he literally counted his steps until unfamilar voices grew louder and louder of every step taken until new scents flooded in. He stepped back at first, bumping into one of his clan-mates that gave him a stern look before padding around him. It's overwhelming to see and smell so many cats in one place! Sleepypaw watched his clan disburse in their own paths, some went to meet friends, others sat down along with other clanmates. And then, there's him. The maine coon looked around with a frown, not sure who to sit next to. Maybe I shouldn't have come, haha..

{The tabby male he mentions is my blind OC Eagle who's currently extremely skinny, just to have some context to his comparison}

The gray tom was shocked to say the least as she bumped her nose against his. "Well.. It's good to see you Bunnypaw." He shuffled his paws slightly, his ears again switching back and forth. There were too many cats at this gathering although he supposed that together they would roughly be the sizes of two clans. It was unusual for him to be this disturbed by the sounds but he tried to focus on her words and when she thought he was insulting her he said hurriedly, "Eh... No. I just meant... most of Windclan cats are skinny. Like that brown tabby tom over there." He gestured to the three cats that were sitting not too far off from them. The tom seemed extremely skinny for a Windclan cat. "You.. You look more like me. Or more like a Thunderclan if it is an insult to be called a Riverclan cat." Not thinking that he might insult the she-cat by calling her a Thunderclan either the tom sat back on his haunches. "Like you basically isn't a scrawny rabbit chasers like most of your clan. I would like to think I resemble a fishing cat a lot... "

"Ya know with my big shoulders - they're somewhat big I think. - and my paws and fur. My father always told me I had the sleekest fur out of my siblings and I. I don't ever get wet really when I swim... Its nice but its also a slight problem. When its hot I like to swim but I don't ever get as cooled down as my littermates. Cause the cold never really sticks. What do you Windclan cats do on a sunny day? Stay down in rabbit burrows don't you? How could you ever go down into one though? I heard some of your hunters chase rabbits all the way to their nests. What a waste of effort when you can just have a nice time by the river and wait for the fish to show up."

Bunnypaw stared at the tom with deadpanned amusement when he tried correcting himself. Of course, the molly had been jesting with him, but to see how nervous he was and how quickly he backtrack did humor her. She turned her gaze to where he pointed out a couple of her clan mates, squinting her eyes and cocking her head. She didn't know all of her clan mates, so a name did not come to her mind. Bunnypaw often had the tendency to forget a lot of things, unintentionally of course, so maybe she did know this clan mate's name, but didn't remember. ''Uh, excuse me!?'' She squeaked when he started to compare her to looking more like a riverclan cat, and then went on to dig himself into a deeper hole by saying she looked more like a thunderclan cat. ''That's a much worse insult ya know!'' She narrowed her eyes at him. Ever since she was a kit, she knew about the whole bickering among Windclan and Thunderclan. She would had forgotten the tension between the two clans if she haven't heard almost everyday Windclanners complaining about those Thunderclan brats. The last thing she wanted to hear was being compared to some Thunderclan cat. ''Didn't ya know it's an insult to be compared to both? No offense or anything, but I can't swim and I don't like fish. And, thunderclan? Don't get me started.'' The feline let out a laugh, tilting her head with her tail swishing wildly behind her, ''Ya must not be very good at compliments others - but I applaud ya for trying!'' She thumped her tail against the ground, a little laugh escaping her lips at this awkward tom.

Bunnypaw listened to him as he spoke, her head continued to tilt from left to right as she made sense of everything he said. She found it quite odd that a riverclan cat had a tough time getting his fur wet when swimming. She wiggled her nose, trying to make sense of what he said. Bunnypaw always needed more than a few minutes to think things out because her mind processed things slowly - her most problem was that she forget things quite easily. She just met him and she already forgotten his name! It was embarrassing to ask again, so she didn't bother to bring it up. ''Don't be silly, fishykitty, we don't always go down rabbit holes! They can be fun because they're like these tiny tunnels and ya never know where ya might end up! Especially if it's a really deep one. I like them because I like mysteries, but I often get lost in them because I forget how I even end up there!'' She gushed all at once, then having to pause to think more about his question, until she let off a light shrug. ''Usually, we do like running. The wind feels so refreshing when we run through the moors. Other than that, we just sit around and relax - well, everyone except for me. I try to find adventure wherever I go. Sitting around is so boring. I rather chase bunnies and butterflies or play games.'' She mused. Bunnypaw was the life of the party, and she was very energetic so staying in one spot was redundant for her. Oddly enough, Bunnypaw didn't eat bunnies, and she always tried to not eat anything that she deemed ''too meaty''. If anything, Bunnypaw preferred the greens of a flower - the ones that were edible was beyond delicious to her. ''Don't tell me that all you do in riverclan is swim in that horrid water! There has to be other things to do in riverclan, right?''

CinderPaw spoke in a soft energetic way her multicoloured eyes flashed brightly."Aw, don't say that! I'm sure you will do great, I bet you're going to be the best swimmer in RiverClan! FawnPaw the swimming champion! Or maybe the swimming beast? No that doesn't sound right...O! How about FawnPaw the swimming annihilator!".The grey speckled molly's face looked very determined as she looked at the brown tom, CinderPaw knew that if she was to swim that she would probably just end up sinking to the bottom of the river before she could get anywhere."If I was in RiverClan I would probably sink as soon as I get in the water!".She laughed a little in amusement- she was honestly glad she didn't have to swim to catch her prey although she was curious what fish tasted like.

Hearing FawnPaw question her own training she blinked a little before smiling brightly."Oh! LittleBee recently taught me the trick to sneaking up on frogs! I have never been able to catch many of them since im a little bit of a clutz...I'm better at being quiet now though!". CinderPaw repositioned herself, getting more comfortable before speaking happily in reply to his assumption."Well sometimes DunlinPaw and I, have a competition to see who can stay awake the longest- he always wins though...". Saying that she pouted slightly, CinderPaw never understood how her brother was so good at well, staying awake. She was a little surprised that he was being more talkative with her but she felt glad that they were becoming better friends."I don't particularly know if they are deep enough to swim in since I am not too keen on jumping head first into the swamps but they sure look deep enough to swim in". Her tone was softer than before, obviously seeming more settled down.
Intrigue flashed in his eyes, uncertain if he should be hopeful or intimidated by the claim. “Those are… some high hopes you got there,” he said with a nervous laugh and flick of his ear, squirming where he sat. “And some seriously neat nicknames.” Even if they were a little bit of a stretch for him — he wasn’t very muscular and had his kitten fluffy, barely outgrew his kitten body for star’s sake. Being called an annihilator of anything was a reach, not that he didn’t appreciate it. “Oh come on,” he chided, mildly amused, “I doubt that’s true. You’re not, like, hefty or anything, so I can’t imagine you wouldn’t float or most likely swim as if you’re a master of it.” Because… it was Cinderpaw, and she seemed much more competent in these things than he was.

Fawnpaw blinked. “You have to sneak up on frogs? I didn’t even realize they had ears.” From what little he’d seen of the creators, they were slimy and strangely hoppy and hardly looked natural in their slim appearance, long legs. An expression of hesitant distaste crossed his features as he thought of consuming one of those, and he wondered aloud, “Is there anything to eat in a frog? They're so tiny.” He was tickled by the thought of ShadowClan apprentices trying to show up one another in ‘who can stay awake the longest’ contests, a smile crossing his muzzle as he imagined it. “To be honest, that’s something I might actually be good at. Maybe I’m a ShadowClan cat after all,” he said in a light joke, an acknowledgment of an exchange within their first meeting at the border. “I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, it’s… hard to describe. It’s like my thoughts won’t turn off and let me rest, so I just keep thinking and then can’t rest.”

Featheredwings again gave a small smile. There feeling of nervousness wafted from the cat before him, whether Ibisprowl knew it or not, the feeling was unmistakable, but he wasn't going to give him away. Flicking his tail the feline gave a hum, he wasn't used to these feelings he was having, they were strange. Why did this cat make his stomach clench involuntarily? Why did this make him want to move closer? WHy... He shook his head and outwardly huffed.

Soft gray paws shifted a little bit under his body, Featheredwings is my name. " he answered, Ibisprowl.. the name stuck to his brain, to his tongue. He bit the inside of his cheek and twitched his ears. You're not weird, I assure you. he chuckled, " I'm not a fan of gatherings myself. " he admitted lightly with a shrug. There was something about this cat that was drawing him to him, but it was forbidden.... Damn.. the thought was sad, and sadly he only had a limited time with him.
'Featheredwings.' The name was repeated several times in his head, committing it to his memory so that maybe, by a miracle of Starclan, if he saw him again, he wouldn't forget his name. It also took his mind off of his strange nervousness even if for a singular moment.
The bob-tailed tom perked up slightly as he heard the other tom mention that he didn't think he was weird, a strange quivering smile touching the smaller toms muzzle. "W-Well then you share an unpopular opinion. Even my own clan thinks I'm strange." His gaze flickered away briefly, searching for familiar Shadowclan faces before settling back on the much friendlier one at paw.

"Windystar thought it would be good for me to come, to try and break me out of my shell. It's not even a shell really, it's just.. Who I am. I don't really like other cats.. Or, well-" Ibisprowl bit his tongue, hoping he didn't come off as rude. "I'm not very good with conversation and I don't like to raise my voice.. They get tired of having to tell me to speak up, and I get tired of having to repeat myself..." There was a small look of agitation upon his face as he once again glanced away before he forced himself to let the feeling go. He wouldn't tell the other tom that he had fits of agitation when in close proximity to too many cats, he didn't want to push this cat away. Not in the slightest.

Shinefang heard the shecat return his greeting and ask about how healing had been in light of recent events. He couldn’t keep in a snort at that. Recent events had been nothing but trouble for him. The business with Grousestar had been enough trouble by themselves, but add to that the death of Auroraflame, and you had something awful to be sure. Not wanting to divulge all this, he settled for what any of the medicine cats would have noticed anyway. “Hard. My apprentice was fully trained just before deciding to leave the clan. I’m not used to doing it all myself anymore. Not any younger since last Newleaf, ya see.”

{Open to anyone!}
Dappledfox slid into the Seastones clearing along with the rest of the WindClan party. The black and red top half of his pelt shimmered dimly in the full moon light, while the white bottom half of his fur shone more brightly. His light green eyes sparkled with young wonder, as he wasn't used to attending Gatherings as a warrior for his ceremony had only been about a moon ago. The tom's long tail remained tucked close to him, as he was fearful he may accidentally strike someone with it. He slid into the crowd, nose twitching at the mingling scents.

So much different than what he heard on a daily basis. It was nice. Narrowing his eyes just slightly the tan tuxedo kneads the ground with his paws. " Hmm. If Windystar hadn't made you come.. Then we wouldn't have been given the chance to meet. " he gave the other tom a sweet smile, " You want to walk a little? Stretch out legs before the leaders finish up? " honestly, he didn't want to stretch at all, he just wanted a little more time..

The whirlwind of recent events had left Tallmarsh tired and wishing that she could just relax, but obviously that wouldn't be the case. It seemed that every Clan had some type of drama going on. Highranks dying or stepping down or being appointed or who even knows what. The ThunderClan medicine cat only knew that she didn't have the energy to be the pissed off cat she usually was. Today she was just exhausted, and she knew it showed, but she couldn't really care right now. She gave a small nod at Shinefang's reply and sighed, "Ah, of course. I heard about Ringpaw. Why did she decide to leave, and with such bad timing, too?"

Glazewing's expression softened at her words. "Of course I understand. I know they manipulated you. It just hurts me to know that you were hurt, Moonpaw. I'm looking out for you!" he whispered quickly. He hoped that the chatter of the cats in the clearing would help hide his words for curious ears. He forced the fur that had begun to bristle on his back to lie flat. He couldn't stand arguing with Moonpaw. He was just concerned for her! He was sure she knew that she had been wrong. It hurt that they were on opposite sides--in many ways.

Intrigue flashed in his eyes, uncertain if he should be hopeful or intimidated by the claim. “Those are… some high hopes you got there,” he said with a nervous laugh and flick of his ear, squirming where he sat. “And some seriously neat nicknames.” Even if they were a little bit of a stretch for him — he wasn’t very muscular and had his kitten fluffy, barely outgrew his kitten body for star’s sake. Being called an annihilator of anything was a reach, not that he didn’t appreciate it. “Oh come on,” he chided, mildly amused, “I doubt that’s true. You’re not, like, hefty or anything, so I can’t imagine you wouldn’t float or most likely swim as if you’re a master of it.” Because… it was Cinderpaw, and she seemed much more competent in these things than he was.

Fawnpaw blinked. “You have to sneak up on frogs? I didn’t even realize they had ears.” From what little he’d seen of the creators, they were slimy and strangely hoppy and hardly looked natural in their slim appearance, long legs. An expression of hesitant distaste crossed his features as he thought of consuming one of those, and he wondered aloud, “Is there anything to eat in a frog? They're so tiny.” He was tickled by the thought of ShadowClan apprentices trying to show up one another in ‘who can stay awake the longest’ contests, a smile crossing his muzzle as he imagined it. “To be honest, that’s something I might actually be good at.

It’s like my thoughts won’t turn off and let me rest, so I just keep thinking and then can’t rest.”

[Sorry for taking so long and possibly they could start to finish up here?]

CinderPaw shook her head in denial before flashing a bright grin at the brown Tom."Don't be silly! Your going to be great besides have you ever heard of a ShadowClan cat swimming?". She pulled a funny face on purposely, she could tell that FawnPaw wasn't one to feel confident about thing so the least she could do was boost his confidence."Me? Float? I'm not sure about that- you on the other hand probably would! We should test it out one time!". She said that to him in an energetic tone although from the look on her face you could tell she was getting a little too hopeful. The grey Molly pondered about if they would see each other again after realising that fact but her blank look returned to a bright one.

CinderPaw blinked at his question before asking herself that."Well...They can see quite well due to where their eyes are positioned so maybe that's why?". Getting lost in thought for seemed to be the hundredth time she shook the thoughts from her head as she replied in a energetic tone."Yeah! They may not look nice but honestly they really don't taste too bad!". Her ear flicked at FawnPaw's joke and she laughed a little but her laugh soften slightly as she heard his statement about not being able to sleep."Well...I always found it easier to express my thoughts to someone before sleeping since it can help get your feelings out...although I'm not sure if it will work for anyone but you could always try that!". She said happily, she was pratically beaming with positivity as if trying to share it with FawnPaw.
