Swift paws carried the young leader along the now familiar path towards the Seastones. While she had certainly made this trek many times over the moons, she was only just getting comfortable with leading the host of her clanmates to their intended destination rather than mingling in the crowd as she prepared to hear whatever news was spreading throughout the rest of the forest.

The prospect of news was still an alluring concept, however her motives for learning such things had evolved into a much more strategic viewpoint rather than the simple curiosity she had once held for the other cats of her neighbouring clans.

Breaking through the underbrush towards the ceremonial stones, she was momentarily stunned to see them… Empty.

Oh.

Green eyes glanced up towards the sky briefly to confirm that the moon was indeed full before she continued on her path towards the gathering place.

“Best behaviour Thunderclan,” she called over her shoulder. Her voice was slightly distant, clearly focused on something else as she bounded up to her place atop the stones. However, as soon as her paws touched the chilly surface she began a slightly odd twitchy shuffle as she attempted to get into a comfortable position that wouldn’t freeze the beans off her poor paws. Stars above, leafbare was really settling in now…

Finally settling into a mildly more comfortable position with her paws on her tail, Sparrowstar straightened her back and patiently awaited the arrival of the other clans.
[ THUNDERCLAN HAS ARRIVED ]

[perseus.]

Ospreypaw bounded in after Sparrowstar ears flicking slightly as he looked around and only saw his own clan. He frowned softly before shaking his head and taking a seat next to his mentor, Sungaze.

The dark tabby warrior had followed after Sparrowstar, staying close to Ospreypaw as the young apprentice had told him about the ShadowClan apprentice and truly he never trusted anyone from ShadowClan. Sungaze eyes were slightly closed as he waited for the other clans to join them.

[Ian]

Hazelpaw trotted into the Gathering with a bored look when she realized they were the first there. Hopefully the other Clans would arrive soon so she could talk with someone who wasn't part of her Clan. ThunderClan was great, obviously, but the Gathering was the one time she could get the juicy gossip from the other Clans! Minus RiverClan, she would never talk to those stinky fish breaths!

[RavensCall]

Darkpetal sat down, searching Seastones for the other clans. Only ThunderClan has arrived, he realised, who will arrive next then?

[Quasar]

Goldenpaw | he/him | open

Oh yeah, his first gathering as an apprentice! Well, more like his first gathering ever, to be honest. But weren't they kindaaaa the same thing? Either way, Goldenpaw was quick to notice that ThunderClan arrived first, something that made a large grin grow on his face. Ha! That sounded about right. ThunderClan always did come first, after all.

[Streamtail]

"Hello Darkpetal." Dunestorm says with a friendly smile, "Nice night isn't it?"
Dunestorm sat down next to the tom.

BUTTERFLYBLAZE

He trotted over and sat down his tail curled over his paws. He lifted his head and glanced around wondering when the other clans would arrive. ThunderClan is always first! he almost puffed out his chest proudly with the thought. He was quite bored. Usually he could find someone to talk to, but right now, he felt pretty anxious. He didnt have any thoughts on his mind to discuss so he slumped into a cat loaf before pricking his ears.

"Im good, how bout you? Its quite funny, ThunderClan is almost always the first to arrive to gatherings since Sparrowstar has become leader" he pointed out trying to not be awkward as he started a small conversation. He straightened his back as he made a small yawn

Foxtail walked into the gathering, soon spotting his sister’s mate Stormclaw. “Hey Stormclaw! Congrats on the kits! I heard that you have four now! Puddlekit, Acornkit, Ivykit, and Greykit right?”

[Fernwillow]

Moonpaw pounced into the gathering with ferocity. She wanted to show the warriors that she was just as good as them. She was also hoping to see Pumpkinpaw, her crush, and hang out with her a lot too.

“That’s a good choice,” he chuckled. “If she were mine, I’d nickname her firecracker! She’s sure got a lot of energy and J saw her sitting on your head yesterday! It took all my night not to laugh. She’ll be a handful that one.” He laughed and licked his chest.

Foxtail felt the unease radiating off of Thunderblaze a lot. “Yeah he definitely seems a little bit off. Did someone die or something?”

[SpiritWolf_yt]

"i don't know i took over guarding the camp entrance yesterday and he agreed to leave but it looked like he wasn't happy he didn't say a word but a nod and walking off" he meowed feeling uneased" has he talked you in the clearing or done anything?" the tom meowed worried

Fernwillow
“No he hasn’t.” Foxtail pawed at the ground nervously. He didn’t like conflict. “Wait, have you seen Mapleleaf in the last few days? Because I’ve been in and out of the nursery and haven’t seen her once.” Foxtail was beginning to suspect Mapleleaf had died or gone missing.

[SpiritWolf_yt]

Stormclaw perked he turned to foxtail" no i haven't i've in and out of camp and haven't seen her only thunderblaze either in the clearing or in the warriors den or in the dark shade" he replied" is it the reason of mapleleaf?" he inquired

“Wait,” he mewed confused. “Do you know if she died or went missing?” Foxtail was staring at Thunderblaze as if it would help him figure out what happened to him.

[SpiritWolf_yt]

Stormclaw had many thoughts of why thunderblaze was upset sad and distant normally not like that unusual but what could it be?"

Fernwillow
Foxtail wished his sister was there at that exact moment. She was better at these situations. “I-I’m so sorry Thunderblaze. I didn’t know. Fernwillow will be devastated when she hears-.” Foxtail knew he wasn’t making it any better. “I better go. Talk to you later Stormclaw. I really am sorry Thunderblaze. Maybe try talking to Fernwillow when we get back. I know you two are friends and she’ll listen.”

[SpiritWolf_yt]

Stormclaw ears flattened as thunderblaze told them what happened the tom Was almost about to talk until foxtail left the tom lowered his head as he couldn't understand how to make things better then seeing THunderblaze walk off to lay and turn his back on stormclaw sighed" im sorry thunderblaze" he whispered as he walked to a different spot away from thunderblaze the tom laid down" how did mapleleaf died anyway?" he asked himself confused

stormpaw saw what had happened and walked over to foxtail" what happened i saw you guys in a sad situation" the apprentice said

Foxtail sighed. “Thunderblaze’s mate died and he was getting mad at us.” Foxtail looked at the apprentice longing to be one himself again. Oh to be young and naive. He also couldn’t stop think about Honeyfreckle and how every time he went to see her he was betraying everything he stood for in the warrior code.

[SpiritWolf_yt]

Stormpaw made a confused face" but why was he mad at you guys you did nothing to him" he meowed

“He’s just mad at the world.” Foxtail remembered when his mother died and he did the same thing. “Sometimes when you feel upset and other cats are talking about how they’re so happy because maybe their mate just had four kits it makes them more upset that not everyone can feel the pain they feel.” The confused apprentice looked like he was finally starting to get it.

Tumblepaw padded behind Ospreypaw, a worried and nervous lookon his face. He then proceeded to trip over a twig, landing on his face. "Ow.." He muttered, sitting up and rubbing his face with a paw.

Dawnpaw (She/Her)
Orange she-cat with white stripes and bright blue eyes


[Open]
The large she-cat padded into the clearing. In all honesty, this was her first gathering, and even though she was excited she was slightly worried about how things would play out, would it be good, bad? Dawnpaw didn't often think of how others perceived her, but this wasn't her clan, there were other clans here, and she didn't feel like being the cause for a war. She gave a small sigh, wishing she came when she was younger, then she wouldn't be worrying about all of this stuff, she also didn't know where to sit, with the apprentices or closer to the warriors, she would fit in more with the warriors, but she was technically an apprentice. She took a small glance and decide to go sit around with the other apprentices.

Moonpaw saw the bulky apprentice and decided that it was time to branch out. “Hiya there,” the upbeat apprentice said. “My names Moonpaw! Im going to be a warrior soon! What’s your name?”

Dawnpaw

The she-cat was startled by how soon someone had come up to her. "Oh.. My names Dawnpaw," She said trying her hardest to keep her voice somewhat interesting. "It's nice to meet you," She said taking a seat next to the apprentice. "If you're becoming a warrior soon maybe our meetings will be at the same time!" She said attempting an awkward smile at Moonpaw.

“You know,” the silver she cat said. “You don’t have to put on an act for me. I know when cats are awkward and when their playing a part.” She saw the nervous smile on Dawnpaws face. “Don’t feel bad. I still want to be friends with you! No one really talks to me at gatherings because they say I’m annoying.”

Dawnpaw

The she-cat flicked her ear in surprise. "You don't seem annoying." Then after a moment she realized she had to deal with that kit some time ago, now he was annoying. "Well, I'll probably stay here!" She said again trying a smile, it wasn't really that she was awkward, more or less she didn't smile to often.

Goldenpaw of ThunderClan | he/him

The young tom looked weirdly at Frogpaw, brows furrowed. Why was she acting like that? They were literally the only ones there so far and she was visibly shaking. Weirdo. "whats up with you?" he asked with a small snort, side-eyeing the apprentice.

FrogPaw flinched with a squeal. The sudden sound had scared her. She looks over at Goldenpaw, who she assumes is judging her. She begins to tremble more. Gosh, I must look so stupid! Did I do something wrong? Is there something on my face? FrogPaw ends up staring at the tom without blinking... It's like she's seeing through space and time.

Wow, okay. She looked like she was about to keel over and like, die. "Can you not talk or something? What, do you think im gonna kill you?" he continued after realizing she wasnt going to respond, "whatever, have fun I guess" he shrugged before padding away to find someone more entertaining to talk to.

FrogPaws Paws flew over her ears as she crashed to the ground. If other warriors didn't kill her tonight, the embarrassment would... No wonder no one talks to me! I'm just so- unlikable...! FrogPaw just curls up and waits for either someone else to spook her or for the other clans to arrive...

(Open Again!)

(Only tagging so you can see what went down Quasar )

[Undertaker]

The enormous, battle-scarred, feline sauntered her way into the gathering, a scowl plastered onto her scarred face. Of course, ThunderClan was the only clan currently here. The leader moved through the crowd, hissing at any cat that move too slowly getting out of her way. The leader's thick pelt was fluffed up instinctively to combat the cold, even though the ShadowClan leader herself didn't seem all that bothered by it.

Bunching up the powerful muscles in her legs, she leaped up beside the small she-cat already seated there. The cold surface bit into Dawnstar's paws, but she paid no heed to it while taking a seat on the rock. The leader left her tail sprawled out behind, lazily twitching as she wondered what drama would unfold at this gathering. She cocked her head, faintly amused as she noticed Sparrowstar actually had her tail tucked around her and seemed to be sitting on it to avoid having her paws touch the stone.

"Haha! Don't like the cold?" The older leader teased, she did always wonder how smaller cats like Twilightstar managed to actually live through leafbare. One would think that the slightest cold breeze would result in them catching greencough and dying out. Obviously, they were sturdier than they looked, but watching Sparrowstar now made her rethink her former assessment. She wondered if the squirrel would stick around through leafbare, Dawnstar didn't like her, but here and there she found the puny feline funny with her attempt to make conversation or sitting on her tail as she was now.

Meadowleap does the usual come in and distants herself

[Ian]

Vixensnarl stalked after Dawnstar and brushed past various ThunderClan cats without a word. She wasn't in the mood to socialize or find out any gossip, or even harass cats who weren't supposed to be there (though there didn't seem to be any). She really only came for appearances, too frustrated with the state of ShadowClan to truly enjoy the Gathering.

[Open]

[puppeteer]

You see, Galekit is an absolute stinker. He had decided to follow the warriors out of camp to the Gathering. He giggled as the russian blue followed the bigger cats to the Seastones. He didn't know if his Mama was there, or Big Cat Sparrow (who had no friends, unlike him), but he definitely knew another Clan was here. They STUNK!! Stinky stinky! And the cat who led them was HUGE!!! Even bigger than Big Cat Sparrow was! With very little sneakiness, the small tom decided to hide near some bushes, staying close just in case he needed to hide.

Ruepaw skips a long after his Clanmates, only loosely following. The pretty calico didn't seem all too interested in paying attention to the leaders or his older peers. His yellow eyes sweep the area surrounding the Seastones for any easy-ins. Easy pickings. He still had some energy to burn off.

[taillow]

Roanpaw
Hot on his grandmother's tail was Roanpaw. Steadily growing larger with each passin moon it seemed he stalked into the clearing with the same expressionless face as last time. Green eyes were observant but gave nothing away as to what he was thinking. ThunderClan was already here, and briefly the brown and cream tom wondered if the apprentice he had interacted with last time was here. Not that it really mattered.

He was content to walk towards his normal spot when something... caught his eye. Turning to look, it appeared as though there was a kit. Odd. Padding quietly over to the furball, Roanpaw stopped just to the side of him. He said something, just staring down at the kit. Lifting one paw the larger brown and cream tom (with his claws just barely out) aimed to poke the kit directly in his side.

[SpiritWolf_yt]

Stormclaw perked as he smelled a kit a kit? no no this isn't right! the tom went over looking at the kit in the bush" what are you doing here!" the tom said quietly not wanting to alarm everyone" you should not be here!" he added quietly and softly

Cinderpaw did not know why she came to the gathering.

Probably to rub her current status (alive, not dead!) in the faces of some sorry guppies and weasels. If she couldn't get anything else out of her new lease at life, at least she could have some satisfaction in knowing her enemies were not rid of her. The scarred tabby trailed the rest of her clan onto the Seastones, the cold chilling her paws for the first time in moons.

Her eyes surveyed the plain of rock lazily, watching as her clanmates dispersed. Ugh, it smelled like Shadowclan and only like Shadowclan -- the other clans must not have arrived yet. Which was good, since she figured she needed a few more moments to gather her courage before facing the clan who had led her directly to her death.

Most of her clanmates were already conversing with eachother, or with the weasels. How they could carry on a friendly conversation with those monsters, Cinderpaw didn't know - nor did she care to. She wasn't about to see the side of kit killers. Ever.

Her eyes met a small commotion nearby a bush. A weasel apprentice, and a Thunderclan warrior, and the weasel was poking at...

She could feel her heart drop to her stomach as she forced her fur to lay flat. It took everything within her to not rip the tom poking at Galekit's side apart - and not rip Stormclaw apart too for doing just about nothing. She rushed over, pawsteps urgent, before giving an intense look into Roanpaw's eyes. What was left of her tail lashed wildly to show she wasn't happy.

She wouldn't be able to live with herself if another one of them hurt a kit. "Away." She ordered Roanpaw, standing over Galekit. She hoped he would listen - if she had to use claws, she knew that would be a one way ticket out of the clans. Thunderclan had certainly proved their prioritization of gathering disrupters in the past.

[ maple. birdie ~SilverShine~ ]

[puppeteer]

Galekit was NOT expecting a stinky cat to come and poke his side! Ugh! Ruining his fun! He glared up at the cat and stuck out his tongue. "Go 'way, STINKY!! This is MY spot!!!" He was young, and has no volume control so he was loud. He looked at another cat, THIS ONE HE KNEW!!! BUT HE WAS TEYING TO TELL GALEKIT WHAT TO DO??!! He stuck his tongue out again, this time blowing raspberries at him.

"YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!" He chirped. He was going to stand and get scary, but Cinderpaw came!!! He smiled up at the big cat and looked at the other two cats with a mischievous giggle. "Hehehe!!! Now you guys CAN'T take me away!!"

Honeykit
She/Her

Honeykit, of course, being the special one of her litter, just had to follow Galekit as he snuck out of the nursery and into the crowd of cats leaving camp. Hey! He wasn't going anywhere without her! What if he needed help being perfect??? Then who would he turn to, if she herself was not there?

Stumbling after her brother on her stubby (elegant, you mean) little legs, Honeykit arrived at Seastones with her snout pointed pridefully in the air. This turned out to be a mistake, as a bombard of scents wafted her way. 'EWWWWWWW!!!' Wrinkling her pretty pink nose with distaste, Honeykit made a beeline for where she could see Galekit among the crowd, weaving between the legs of gathered cats.

"Galey!" She squealed happily upon reaching his side. "I'm here to save you from-- AAAAAHHH HELP ME THERE'S A BIG KITTY!" Honeykit yelped as she attempted to bury herself into Galekit's side, and then suddenly clamped down on her jaw, beautiful olive eyes widening with mild horror. Oh no! She had meant to be sneaky, not scream her head off!

Dappled fur puffed up with fear at seeing that there were now two more cats, plus the very big yucky smelling scary one, Honeykit barely heard what Cinderpaw had to say.

Only when Galekit spoke did Honeykit snap out of her trance, swinging her head in her brother's direction. All fear fell away as a singleminded thought lit in her mind. "Galey, we don't say words like stinky out loud." She chided, and then shrank back once more with a whimper as if just remembering their company.

Roanpaw
Hmm. A squawky little thing, wasn't he. Roanpaw simply stared down at him, saying nothing still. He was acutely aware of another ThunderClan warrior having approached, followed by another. Their words fell on deaf ears as he tilted his head to observe the funny little kit. "Hiding spot," he said, monotone, "no good." It really wasn't. He ought to have a better one if he truly expected no one to bother him.

Finally he looked up at the cat who now stood over the kit. Bigger than him, scary, angry.... and Roanpaw just stared. His green eyes blinked once, unphased by her clear order. For a moment he was silent and then; "...Away." Spoken again with no tone, just a repeat of what she had said. But he didn't move away, instead letting his gaze flicker to the kit once more. He continued to stare, something... dark flickering in his eyes. A flame of sorts. Hmm...

"Away." His green eyes bore down into the kit - who was now joined by another, how interesting - and his claws still remained a little ways out as they were set back on the ground. He made no move to leave the situation, instead continuing to watch the kit unblinking.

[Captain]

Moving silently through the forest at a brisk pace, the tall RiverClan leader lead his clanmates down the familiar path that would lead them all to the Seastones. Judging by the mingled scents that lingered in the air as they drew closer, both ThunderClan and ShadowClan had already arrived. He would only draw to a halt once he reached the divide between the grass and sand. “RiverClan, I expect all of you to behave accordingly tonight.” Pikestar remarked to the group of cats close behind him. After witnessing the exile of both Beastgrowl and… that one cat that caused a scene at a past gathering (what was their name again?), they all should know that if anyone were to try and stir up trouble, he would not be one to hesitate to take action. With that being said, the large oriental longhair continued moving, stepping onto the cold sand of the beach. Tonight was going to be long night, without a doubt, and he wasn’t in the best of moods. Pikestar's patience lessened with each Gathering.

Wasting no time, Pikestar weaved through the scattered crowd of cats, making his way to the rocks without sparing anyone a single glance. He wiggled his hips and swiftly leapt onto the top of the Seastones, turning swiftly on his paws and sitting down. The long-furred RiverClan leader turned his head slowly towards the other two leaders present. “Sparrowstar.” He nodded a simple greeting to the ThunderClan leader before doing the same for ShadowClan’s leader, “Dawnstar.” Pikestar wasn’t the type to spark up small talk unless someone started it for him. He returned his partial gaze back to straight ahead of him as he wrapped his tail around himself. Hopefully, Twilightstar would arrive and this could be all over soon enough. The air was cold and it nipped at his nose, but other than that, the weather affected the dark-furred fishcat very little. A thick fluffy coat was the only thing he’d ever thank his birth parents for. Gazing down at the sea of clan cats below them, Pikestar hoped now that Gingerfrost would play nice with Fallownose and Copperfire, the other two deputies.

Stormclaw ears lowered as THe kit spoke obviously it was from thunderclan because it had the scent of a thunderclan kit and roanpaw happened to be shadowclan CInderpaw a thunderclan apprentice dealing with roanpaw and then now Another kit lovely does he have to take the matter into his paws before the gathering gets hectic" Galekit you should not be here! roanpaw! a shadowclan apprentice sheath your claws fully in and not go over a kit that doesn't belong to your clan... And Honeykit! your father will be very mad that your here in the gathering! you should have not followed us!" the tom meowed very sternly not bothering CInderpaw as she was helping with roanpaw" if this gets out of paws i will tell dawnstar and sparrowstar about this!" he added sternly he was a little scared to confront dawnstar [hopefully not] but it must be done if he could not control it"Honeykit and galekit im taking both of you back to the nursery!" he meowed

Goldenpaw of ThunderClan | he/him | open!!

Oh great, now the toads were here. Goldenpaw couldnt help but let out a snort as he walked them stalk in. Stars, how edgy could they be? It was no wonder how much people seemed to dislike them. Well, outside of the whole 'taking over clans' thing. That wasnt that cool of them. Scoffing, he turned his head away from the arriving group of cats, intent on simply ignoring them.

[Ian]

Flamebriar padded into the Gathering with the rest of the RiverClan cats, a nervousness thrumming under her skin. She had done her best to avoid coming to the Gatherings, but she had to know how ShadowClan was doing. If Dawnstar was still the same. Don't get her wrong, she was completely loyal to RiverClan now, but ShadowClan had been her first home, and Dawnstar was her niece. With her daughter's appearance in RiverClan, Flamebriar had gotten the sudden urge to know how the rest of her family was doing, despite the conflicts that had happened in the past.

[Open]

[puppeteer]

Silverpaw really wanted nothing to do with the Gathering, not with the way she felt. She wantèd nothing more than to sit in her nest, curled up, and sleep away the night. But, alas, her elder brother was here, so she had to come. Had to make sure he wasn't flirting with any other Clan cats.

( open )

[SpiritedWarrior]

Flameheart trailed behind ThunderClan, padding happily amongst the rest of ThunderClan. This was her first Gathering as a warrior. A warrior. Her pelt buzzed with excitement and she quickly made her way for a spot in front of the Seastones. Luckily the rest of the Clans weren't quite there yet, but soon enough they were. RiverClan, that was. And ShadowClan, which was the second Clan to show up. It seemed like WindClan had yet to make its appearance, but that was just fine. It allowed her more time to soak up the fact she would be introducing herself as a warrior.

------------------------------------

Rainpaw dragged his paws, scooting himself along the forest floor and RiverClan territory behind Sparrowstar and the rest of ThunderClan. Bumbleflight was nowhere to be seen, and Lavenderpaw has yet to make her appearance. Thrushfur and Quailfur had yet to make their appearances. No mentor. No sisters. My blind sister is focusing on training, which is fine, I guess... but my parents haven't been around me since I blew up on them. Despite feeling more alone than he has been in life, the young tom wanted to make an effort in representing ThunderClan. He wanted to keep going, despite him feeling like mouse-dung.

"Oh... a kit being picked on by an apprentice, where's his mother?" the young tom muttered, hardly any emotion in his words. "Scratch that... two kits. Rainfall should be right behind then... I hope."

------------------------------------

Reedwhisker padded after Pikestar, set in a brisk pace. Although she had long fur to keep herself warm, her toe beans stung with the bitterness that leaf-fall so spitefully offered the forest before leaf-bare hit. Why does it have to get so... so fluffing cold! A shiver was sent down her spine, but she continued on, wanting to march into the Gathering with confidence that RiverClan was yet again back on their paws. Gingerfrost is the deputy now. Pikestar no longer has to carry the burden of leadership alone. If he's confident, I am too.

With RiverClan filing into the clearing to sit with the rest of the Clan cats, the young dark brown warrior fluffed her pelt against the cold and sat on her tail to keep her toes from freezing.

~ Raccoonpelt piled in with the other cats of his clan. The shadowclanner had decided he would go to this gathering, he didn't know if his beloved would be here. Raccoonpelt looked around the clearing seeing a huddle of cats and chose to ignore it before sitting in a free spot and turned his head to see that Riverclan had just arrived. Raccoonpelt lifted his head to try and get a better look to see who came hoping to see the familiar silver pelt that belonged to a certain riverclan warrior that had decided it was funny to steak Raccoonpelts heart. ~

Judging by another tiny, terrified voice under her, there was another kit caught up in all this mess. Oh, joy.

Even still, she didn't break eye contact with Roanpaw. Her eyes lit with something furious as he just... sat there, muttered a couple words, with his claws half out. Did this kid want to get his face taken off? Because this is what got your face taken off. Cinderpaw forced herself to swallow the anger that bubbled within her. No fighting. No fighting. Not unless he starts it.

"Away." She repeated, staring straight into the tom's soul. Did anything perturb him? Cinderpaw had thought herself as unshakable once, too. Whoever this apprentice was, taking his claws out against aa kit at a gathering, he would hopefully have the real world hit him soon.

The thing that ripped her focus away from Roanpaw, though, were the words from the warrior standing near by. Like a switch flipped, she turned to Stormclaw - equally as furious. She allowed her lips to curl into a small snarl. "Tell Dawnstri-i-ipe?! Do y--ou want them d-d-dead?!" She hissed quietly, crouching a bit to better guard the kits with her body.

A flood of another, salty scent entered her nose. Right on cue, Riverclan seemed to flood in and smother Cinderpaw's senses entirely. Her chest tightened as the image of a limp, tiny body flashed in her mind. She felt as if she was being choked by the very atmosphere around her. The only thing that could make this worse would be the feeling of dirt under her claws.

[ birdie ~SilverShine~ maple. Kat DID I GET EVERYBODY? ]

[Jayvines]

Her mental disgruntled mutterings about the weather were very quickly interrupted as a rustle in the underbrush pulled her attention to the arrival of Dawnstar and the rest of Shadowclan. Attempting not to make too big a fool out of herself, Sparrowstar straightened her back slightly more as the massive feline hopped up to join her on the rock... and laughed at her sitting position???

Pelt heating up slightly in indignation (with a healthy dose of confusion and a sprinkling of worry), the tan molly tilted her head back to peer up at the amused Shadowclan leader as her mind whirred through possible responses.

"Leafbare leaves much to be desired," she muttered, adjusting her paws to a more comfortable position on her (quickly cooling) tail. "The cold and the stillness can be stifling... Although I suppose you would be more suited to this weather than the heat of Greenleaf when it reaches it's height."

Green eyes glanced over the fluffed up pelt of her companion with the slightest edge of jealousy. Oh, to have a thicker barrier between her and the cold when the snow came... But alas, no thick fur for her. Only quick paws and a short pelt.

Pikestar's arrival pulled Sparrowstar's attention back towards the crowd, and although she dipped her head in a brief, nonchalant greeting to the Riverclan leader her gaze was pulled elsewhere by a quickly gathering crowd at the back of the clearing.

Was that a kit?... Two kits???

Pulling her tail out from under her beans (curse this blasted rock and her poor cold toes) with a barely audible grumble, the thin molly pushed herself back onto her paws and stated a very quick, "Excuse me," to her companions before launching back down to the sand and swiftly padding towards the commotion.

Where was Copperfire??? He should have been on top of this.

Weaving towards the gaggle of cats around 2 of Thunderclan's kits, Sparrowstar quickly glanced to her warriors before looking at the... odd Shadowclan apprentice that seemed entirely too interested in the two balls of fluff that had escaped the nursery hiding under a defensive Cinderpaw.

"No one needs to run tattling to anyone. We can see you from the rocks," she stated, voice tired and stern as she looked down on the two hiding underneath Cinderpaw's legs. "Galekit. Honeykit. You know very well that you're not allowed to Gatherings until you become apprentices. Your mother is probably worried sick about you two."

A brief grateful glance and a nod of acknowledgement was sent Cinderpaw's way before she continued.

"You two will sit right here, with Cinderpaw, until we go back to camp, but if I hear another out of turn squeak during announcements I will not hesitate to send you back home with Stormclaw. I'm certain Rainfall will not be pleased with your sneaking."

Gaze flicking back to the large apprentice currently shielding the two unruly kits from view, Sparrowstar turned her attention back to her.

"I trust you to keep them close. No one should hurt them--" A stern look was sent to the unfamiliar Shadowclan apprentice. "--but send them right back to camp with Stormclaw if they get too cold. I don't want any sickness to be spread due to kit curiosity."

With a flick of her tail, the tan molly swiftly bounded back through the crowd up to her spot on the stones. Doing her little chilly shuffle once again as she made herself comfortable (beans back up to safety on her tail), she huffed out a sigh before settling.

"I'll never understand kits," she muttered under her breath to no one in particular as she fluffed up her short fur as much as she could to combat the temperature. "You'd think they'd want to avoid sitting out in the cold when they have a warm nursery all to themselves..."

Roanpaw
Nothing had really broken his stare to the young kits until another squawk sounded from the ThunderClan warrior. How... did he know his name? Hmm. Interesting. Roanpaw glanced his direction, entirely uninterested and unbothered by his attempt to order him around. Funny, because he looked nothing like Dawnstar. Even so, the larger warrior nestled over the two kits was scarier than he was - though neither one of them struck any true fear into his heart.

Swinging his head back to the angrier warrior he watched as she repeated herself, before turning on what appeared to be her Clanmate. Hmm. That was an interesting development for sure. And the angrier one... Dawnstripe... wasn't that his grandmother's warrior name? It sounded familiar enough to him. A sudden blaze of anger appeared in his eyes - the first true emotion he had shown - and it was fully directed at the ThunderClan cat. "Dawnstar." Heavy weight held up the words he spoke, a dark tone much different than his monotone voice. Slowly his claws slid out more, eyes narrowing...

And then more ThunderClan scent. Roanpaw caught the stern look sent to him by Sparrowstar as she interjected. He remained silent, claws sliding back in (not because of any orders but because he saw no worth in keeping them out). She seemed to handle the situation - even allowing the kits to stay here. ThunderClan was rather odd, Roanpaw concluded, with another glance towards Cinderpaw - at least he knew her name now.

"...Away." This time, a sinister smile stretched across his face as his green gaze bore into Cinderpaw. A quick scoff-chuckle left him as he simply sat down, turning so that he faced the rocks. He would sit here, for as long as he wanted to really. It wasn't like this Cinderpaw could really force him away - not unless she wanted to use her claws. And plus something about angering her and the rest of ThunderClan stirred something within Roanpaw.

[Estelle]

Late nights were never his thing. Right now, he would much rather be curled up in a warm nest and sleep. Gatherings lately were usually more trouble than they're worth anyway. But, and especially now, he couldn't exactly skip them anymore (not that he ever did, look at him being responsible). So here he was, walking with his clanmates to the ever familiar place. He could already tell by the scents that they weren't the first to arrive, ThunderClan and ShadowClan had come first. He could still recall a time where RiverClan was often the first to arrive at the gathering due to their proximity to the Seastones; decidedly that had changed within the moons he had spent away from the clan. Not that it bothered him, arriving later cut the waiting time shorter, it was just more of a hassle to attain his usual spot. Which, the young tom had to remind himself, stopping in his tracks, was not where he would be sitting tonight.

His green gaze swept over the growing crowd to the Seastones, and lower, to the area where the deputies usually sat, if he remembered correctly. The slightest scrunch of his muzzle took place, essentially unnoticeable to those not right in front of him. Perhaps he could bend habits(?), tradition(?) and just sit where he usually sat - he was fine there. It was a bit too crowded for his liking, true, but it was still the tabby's preferred spot (and it did keep a little warmer during leafbare, but that was hardly on his mind). Still, with a quick glance up as Pikestar took his seat, they had to be on good behaviour - set a decent example and such, probably. It likely wouldn't look good if the new deputy (how strange it felt to think that) didn't sit among the others. So, with a resigned sigh - or more of a breath to conceal it - the usually lethargic tom broke his habitual path and made his way to the surprisingly empty spots of the deputies.

He was more hesitant about being there than promptly sitting down, not having anyone to greet either. He would've expected for ThunderClan's deputy to already be there at least, but it appeared not to be the case - he presumed ShadowClan simply hadn't elected a new one yet. So he was alone, in front of a big crowd (all the eyes were a little icky, actually), feeling rather... Cold. The tabby fluffed his fur against the breeze. This spot was a lot more open, allowing for colder air to pass unlike his usual centre spot among the big crowd. But alas, this was his fate now. At least it was calmer here, might not be too bad in greenleaf then, but still. Habits were hard to break sometimes.

As he sat there, silently drowning the chitter chatter of the crowd out, his attention was pulled to two small kits - apparently from ThunderClan and the start of what might as well be a very long night. He could only be glad that they were dealt with quickly, even if sending them back right away might've been better in his opinion, he wasn't going to mull on it. It was dealt with, and that's what mattered. Now there was just hoping there wouldn't be any more wayward kits or issues. At that thought, Gingerfrost couldn't help but take a quick glance around to ensure there was no additional trouble taking place (if only).

| Rainfall |
| She/Her |
| A long-furred russian blue cat with a white muzzle and paws; Light green eyes |

~ And worried sick she was. Rainfall had decided tonight would be good to place all of the kits under her care to bed early. The queen herself had been feeling more sluggish and tired due to now having to take care of three extra kits and she hadn't seen Thunderblaze around since the death of Mapleleaf. So when she thought that all of the kits had went to sleep the russian blue laid her own head down and fell asleep. It was a bit before Rainfall woke up once again lifting her head letting out a yawn and was about to move into another comfortable position before she noticed something. Two of her kits were gone. Rainfall had to have her eyes adjust to the darkness to realize it was Galekit and Honeykit who was missing out of the bunch. Rainfall carefully got up making sure not to wake her other kits and asked a fellow queen to watch over them so she could find the two troublemakers. 

Rainfall quickly exited out of the nursery looking around the almost empty clearing of the camp. Rainfall felt panic wash over her as she looked over at the entrance of the camp. No. They couldn't have. But what if they did. Oh they were in so much trouble when she got her paws on them. Rainfall didn't take another moment to run out of that camp and bolted to where the seastones were. All the scents of all the clans seemed to hit her in the face. A sign that she was close. Rainfall ran into the gathering letting out pants from running non-stop from the camp to the seastones. The russian blue eyes scanned around the clearing before spotting a huddle of cats around.. TWO KITS! HER KITS! Rainfall didn't waste anytime as she ran over to the huddle of cats mostly made of Thunderclan cats and a Shadowclan apprentice. 

"Galekit! Honeykit!"

Rainfall called to her kits giving them both a stern look. The queen then looked over at Cinderpaw and Stormclaw giving them a nod of thanks for basically keeping these two safe. Rainfall shot a narrowed glare at the Shadowclan apprentice, she never trust Shadowclan or their cats. Finally her gaze fell onto Sparrowstar who was up on the stones. 

"I'll be taking them back to camp, Sparrowstar. Please continue."

Rainfall turned back to the two kits and the stern look back on her face.

"You two are coming home with me. Galekit do you want me to carry you or can you walk?"

Rainfall asked her oldest son, She of course would be carrying Honeykit by the scruff due to her still basically being small, Probably the smallest out of her sisters. Galekit on the other paw was a moon and a half so she gave the choice of either being carried or getting to walk. ~

[Moonraven]

It seemed that WindClan was the last to arrive at this gathering. That was a surprise, it's been a bit since that happened. Not that it particularly bothered the eldest leader. With the rogues around, Twilightstar had been actually debating on having Fallownose go to the gathering in her place, but who knows what alarm that might cause, plus she wanted to talk to the three leaders anyway, then be swiftly on her way home. The whole walk here involved her wondering if she should turn around and go back home or if she should have left more warriors back at camp. This constant worry was most likely going to eat up a sizeable chuck of Twilightstar's brain. Mentally, it's been a while since she's been this exhausted.

"I want no word out of any of you about the outsiders in our territory." Twilightstar meowed, right before they entered the gathering. "Until it's decided otherwise, this is a WindClan situation. If I hear that any of you went against my order expect the punishment to fit the crime." Twilightstar rarely gave such orders to her clanmates during gatherings(normally they were well-behaved), so she was anticipating all of them to take this one seriously. She was not interested in causing panic among the clans and would prefer to talk with the leaders before involving the whole of all four clans with it.

She leads WindClan into the gathering on swift, confident paws, trying not to make faces as she padded across the cold, grain sand and leaps up just as Sparrowstar leaps down. Twilightstar fluffs up her tail and shifts all four of her paws around as she endeavors to find a comfortable placement for her poor paws. In the end, she finds herself crouching down with her tail curled as best she could get it around her feet. Nope, just because she lived on the moors did not mean she was immune to the cold. The icy winds of leafbare were different compared to the winds of the moorland. If anyone had anything to say about how she sat she was blaming it on old age (even though she wasn't that old, it was just running a clan sapped the lives out of her literally).

She nods her usual greeting to the clan leaders, trying not to look as exhausted as she felt while watching Sparrowstar return after talking to a small pair of kits? And, wasn't that the apprentice who had been kidnapped by RiverClan? She never did hear how that was resolved, but that thought was quickly swept away as her brain went back to the issue that was currently settled in WindClan's territory. Not even seeing Dawnstar's scarred mug could sidetrack Twilightstar's troubled mind.

"Would you three mind sticking around for a moment after the gathering?" Twilightstar asked, swinging her head around to make sure that she caught the eyes of all three leaders. "It might be nothing, or something, but the information won't hurt to share and you can decide whether you want to share it with your clans or not. I'll try not to take up too much of your time." The gatherings were usually hectic enough without adding outsiders into the mix. She was sure all the leaders were eager to get home, herself included, so Twilightstar would do her best to make the chat short and sweet.

Like claws sinking into her throat, the world seemed to close in on Cinderpaw further. She shifted uncomfortably under the growing number of eyes locked in on her, but refused to give up her spot guarding over the kits. Instead, she allowed her fur to stand on end, hopefully prompting the tom in front of her to back off.

Instead he just kept... staring. With eyes that seemed to squeeze into every crack and crevice in her mind, like he could read exactly what she was thinking. His face twisted with something that she would have called anger if it came from a normal cat - but this guy clearly wasn't normal. As he tried to correct her, she could feel her claws slip out - she refused to crumble and call the Shadowclan dictator a true leader. She'd followed that killer enough while she pretended to rule Thunderclan.

As the scent of Thunderclan washed over her, stronger than it had ever been, Cinderpaw quickly sheathed her claws. Her attention was pulled to Sparrowstar, who had wasted no time in intervening. The grey tabby would be lying if she wasn't the least bit grateful as the situation fizzled out into nothing. She could feel her legs begin to quake beneath her, and the relief that chilled her veins was so sudden that it brought tears to her eyes, though she wiped them away before they fell past her cheeks (and hopefully before anyone saw). She wondered when she had grown so tense - but the feeling as if a thousand rocks were sitting on her chest told Cinderpaw that it wasn't just tenseness.

Cinderpaw listened to the leader's address carefully. The kits were to stay with her, which she didn't have much of a problem with; they were kids, not stupid, and if they were old enough to have their deaths justified in the name of good or whatever the molly believed they were old enough to sit through a single gathering. Besides, she kind of doubted they would listen to Stormclaw (Not that she would, sorry).

Part of Sparrowstar's words grated against her, though. Sure, no one should hurt them -- but 'should's didn't stop Firkit from being turned into little more than discard. A chilling scene of a limp ball of fluff flashed in her head, almost as if it were between her paws where Galekit and Honeykit stood- but she quickly shook the image away.

She raised herself from her crouch, moving her body in between the kits and Roanpaw. It seemed like the weirdo wasn't moving, and Cinderpaw really didn't feel like getting exiled because of some weasel. "'ll kee-p-p 'em safe--e. With m-me." She grunted, more addressing the kittens than her leader. She figured it'd be important for them to know the game plan. "Let's g-g-g-go sit so--mewhere el--se."

She shot one last scalding glare towards the owl-eyed apprentice before prompting the kits away with a gentle push of her paw. Hopefully they'd find somewhere else to sit, away from any weasels.

Rainfall's call interrupted her herding, and Cinderpaw looked up to the queen. She whirled into a flurry of questions, no doubt spurned by worry - the overgrown apprentice understood, and couldn't believe she was arguing for this, but...

"L-let 'em sta--y. Have a fun-n-nigh-t. Can stay a-a-away from the weasel-l-ls. Prom--ise."

Leafsprout sat in the crowd giving a few licks to its leaf covered pelt, waiting for everyone else to arrive. It was nice to be there. Hopefully some good will come out of this Gathering, as most of them tended to get very hectic. Looking around at some of the new faces slowly trickling in however, it started to grow more and more nervous. Crowds. Oh, how it hated crowds. This could be a good place to make a few good impressions however, so it told itself to be social if it comes down to it.

Mintpaw followed Riverclan under the dim light of the moon, into an open space on the shore of a huge amount of water. Cold sand tickled her paws and inserted itself between her toes, but she welcomed the feeling. "How beautiful..." she whispered to herself.

Pikestar was in the lead, Ginerfrost probably as well, but her eyes were looking for someone else.Where's Slatestripe? This was her first gathering as an apprentice, and she didn't want to be left alone. Lilyleaf? Fawnleap?
But only stranger cats surrounded her.

As her clanmates dissipated and went to share tongue with other clans, Mintpaw remained behind and decided to take a walk along the shore. This was her opportunity: she was sure she would find new shells here, maybe prettier than those of her river.

Thrushfur

His feathery fur bounced against the wind. Trudging through with lithe simplistic steps. Currently his mood was gloomy. Arriving at the abundance of strangers. He whipped his tail as he waltzed through to find a better and more reserved spot for his liking. Not too far, not to crowded. He sat down and settled right in at the gathering. He uttered an exasperated snort. If someone were to walk up to him with a casual tone and he just spoke nonsense.. he would curse himself for a millennia. He wasn’t in his right state of mind right now as the last interaction he had at the gathering was like shooting a bullseye on a target three times in a row. In fact that bullseye was his heart. He took a hissed breath, his eyes looking farther into the midst of the surrounding natural environment. Curling his tail over his paws as permanent silence took over him.

The surrounding air naturally turned serene as only the wind could be heard around him. He couldn’t accept his origins, there’s no physical possible way thats true? He couldn’t ask Starclan to give him answers just like how leaders could ask those mighty warriors casually. His mother was up in Starclan. Was it possible to ask her for answers? Nah.. He slumped down as his legs quaked. He looked to be as if he were crying. But was not. Instead his eyes were not filled with tears but were searching for answers. Gleaming like borage as he felt skeptical. Looking over his shoulder to see if that senior Riverclan cat would arrive as well. Don’t get your hopes up Thrushfur. For now he would just like to be at peace. Maybe a small border patrol of his own would take his mind off things. His eyes slightly glanced up towards the rock. His paw pads playing with the minerals and sandy texture. He heaved a sigh, his blue eyes attentively edged upon some fantastic swooping crows.

Fennelcall thought he braced himself for the harsh wind that rolled off the ocean, but he didn't expect it to be this bad, he shuttered as he stepped down onto the cold sand of the Sea Stones part of Lions Beach. It seemed like just about all the clans were arriving now, he gave Gingerfrost a little nod of good luck (wether he saw it or not) before the new deputy went to sit at the base of the stones, Fennelcall's gaze shifted over the gathered cats, trying to pick out a place to sit and perhaps someone he could chat with, even if its just for a little bit. He began to weave his way between the gossiping cats to a spot that was a little clearer so that he could have at least some space.

As he arrived to the spot he had picked out he spotted a tom who seemed on the verge of tears, from his scent Fennelcall could tell that he was a Thunderclan cat, and the lilac tabby padded up to him slowly. "May I sit here?" he asked, dipping his head slightly in greeting, before sitting down next to the tom, he paused for a moment "Are you alright?" his voice was calm but there was a hint of compassion to it, "Ah- I should probably introduce myself before I ask personal questions.., I'm Fennelcall of Riverclan, and my question from before still stands."

//ThunderClan

Harefire sat down and curled his tail around his paws. StarClan! It was a cold night, but the gathering still had to take place, as the full moon shone brightly in the sky.

Feathernose looked around for someone to talk to. Someone from a different clan, as that was the reason she came.


//ShadowClan

Cloversun followed her leader into the gathering. ThunderClan was already here, but no other clan.

Troutstone fluffed up his short pelt to try and keep in his warmth. The sand felt sticky under his paws, making him flick them before every step.

Rabbiteye's tail flicked slightly as gazed over the gathering before he joined it. He sighed. A quick in, listen to what the leaders had to say, then out and try not to get in anyone's way.

Swiftheart took a deep breath and plunged into the large throng of cats. Their scents seemed unbearable at first, though after a little while his nose got used to it.


{All open to different clans!}

[Ian]

Fallownose padded to the Seastones hot on Twilightstar's heels and noted with slight surprise that the other three Clans were already there. Well, it didn't matter, and it wouldn't impact anything, so he brushed it off in favor of listening to Twilightstar's quick words to the Clan. "Of course." It would be pretty rabbit-brained to announce to all the Clans about the outsiders in WindClan territory right before leaf-bare. He figured Twilightstar would talk to the other leaders about it, but she knew how to choose her words and not make a huge deal out of it.

Turning his thoughts from the outsiders, the dark gray tom headed over to where the deputies sat and noticed that someone new was there. Judging from the scent, they must be the new RiverClan deputy. Fallownose lightly leaped up to where the deputies sat and gave a nod of greeting to Gingerfrost. He absently noted that while ThunderClan was here, Copperfire was not. Was he running late, or did the prediction the WindClan deputy had made at the last meeting come true?

Fallownose fluffed out his medium-length fur to protect himself against the chill, though his paws were still cold. Instead of focusing on that, the tall tom figured that conversing with the new RiverClan deputy would help distract them from the cold weather.

"Greetings. I'm Fallownose, but you probably know that already. How are things running in RiverClan?"

Drizzlepaw
Light blue she with darker blue mask and tail tip

Lonely, lonely, lonely. That was her, sitting in the back, talking to no one, just thinking about the gathering. She hated gathering, they just made her feel awkward. So many cats, and not a single one talked to her? Its like she blended in... too much. She didnt want to be extra special or different, she just wanted to be good enough to be at least noticed, even if it was a bit.

She stared at the leaders and then the kits, she liked to gossip. But usually it was too herself so she ignored the kits and shrugged. She watched Sparrowstar scold them but she still didnt react. She just waited for something to happen. Something worth getting in trouble or seeing for herself. But now she had to try and make friends, hopefully outside her clan. Since no one inside her clan seemed to appreciate her, for as far as she was concerned and knew.

[Open to chat, be friends, and make her UNlonely!]

Ospreypaw's head turned toward Tumbly, chirping as his friend tripped, "Tumbly! Are you okay??" his duo eyes filled with concern as he looked up his friend.

Foxcall walked in after Dawnstar to the gathering, tail twitching slightly as he looked around at the other cats. I truly hope this doesn't go on for long, I'm only here to tell Dappledleaf what has happened. They sat down near other ShadowClan cats, simply waiting for announcements to happen.

Fogcloud slinked into the gathering after Pikestar, ears swiveling as she looked around, it seemed like ThunderClan and ShadowClan are here, tail flicking as they settled. They wrapped their tail around their paws as they simply waited for the gathering to start.

Ashflight walked into the gathering, a look of grumpyness was across their face as they wrapped their tail over their paws near the edge. I hope this is quick, it's incredibly cold and I don't want to be here.

She sat beside AshFlight with the same expression on her face..."I don't know why I keep being sent here... The weather sucks, the smell sucks and my tail keeps getting stepped on... Gatherings are too full now a-days..." WildHolly sounds miserable but its kind of funny.

Stormclaw Sighed in relief as sparrowstar came and dealt with this the tom flicked his tail and nodded then as rainfall came and took the kits the tom dipped his head" then went off




Ashclaw padded in trying to avoid FireflyMeadow

Scalepaw hesitantly joined the gather but was being pushed by lilyheart his best friend

" come on Scalepaw Its just cat together its like when twilightstar calls a meeting and cats join around discussing stuff" the molly meowed finally made it to the gathering she stopped pushing him and fell in exaustion then sat up she curled her tail around sitting next to Scalepaw

Foxwillow relaxed at seeing the father of her kits. "Sort of.." she says softly, she reaches out with her tail to quickly touch his flank before whisking it away again. There's deep sorrow in her voice and she's clearly unhappy.

FrogPaw finally made eye contact but she looked so... awkward...? She looked as if she was staring death right in the eyes... This must be her first gathering... Maybe someone should tell her a war won't break out and she won't die...?

Scalepaw continued to stare as if he couldn't stop staring then perking as he was pushed over to frogpaw by lilyheart he hissed at his friend" Make friends sheesh! you gotta trust one day!" the female warrior said then walking off... scalepaw stared at frogpaw blankly not knowing what to say

Riverclan
( Eaglet )

Fennelcall thought he braced himself for the harsh wind that rolled off the ocean, but he didn't expect it to be this bad, he shuttered as he stepped down onto the cold sand of the Sea Stones part of Lions Beach. It seemed like just about all the clans were arriving now, he gave Gingerfrost a little nod of good luck (wether he saw it or not) before the new deputy went to sit at the base of the stones, Fennelcall's gaze shifted over the gathered cats, trying to pick out a place to sit and perhaps someone he could chat with, even if its just for a little bit. He began to weave his way between the gossiping cats to a spot that was a little clearer so that he could have at least some space.

As he arrived to the spot he had picked out he spotted a tom who seemed on the verge of tears, from his scent Fennelcall could tell that he was a Thunderclan cat, and the lilac tabby padded up to him slowly. "May I sit here?" he asked, dipping his head slightly in greeting, before sitting down next to the tom, he paused for a moment "Are you alright?" his voice was calm but there was a hint of compassion to it, "Ah- I should probably introduce myself before I ask personal questions.., I'm Fennelcall of Riverclan, and my question from before still stands."



Thrushfur
His eyes solemnly gazed at the flocking crows before they dispersed and flapped their jet-black wings to head off into the sky. The clouds were gathering as his tail tip tapped against the roof of his paws. He cuddled himself up as he watched the clouds go by. He shuddered before he raised his head to look at the lilac tabby. He opened his maw for the Riverclanner's fishy smell to reach the roof of his mouth. He narrowed his eyes as he was just about confused as to why he was attracting Riverclan cats every time the clans were gathered. His whiskers twitched as he hummed. "En." He nodded, sliding his tail towards the other side to give the cat some room. Though he wanted to ask why the Riverclan cat was so courteous towards him. Shouldn't they have bristled pelts around Thunderclan like they always do?

His ears halted then relaxed as hearing the name Fennelcall. The corners of his mouth quivered as he gave a slight nod. "Yes I am. No need to worry." He then tilted his head, asking the tom with a questioning stare. "Did it look like... I was weeping to you?" He twitched his nose as a cold breeze brushed against the tip of his nose. He didn't want to seem too intimidating. As he guessed that they were about the same age. And building up relationships with others could potentially give him a mental break. He gave a placid smile. "I-I've just felt really struck down lately.." He gave a sharp breath. Quirking up towards the Riverclan warrior.

She stopped making eye contact. "B-b-b-because you-you're windclan and-and..." she goes quiet... it looks like she's thinking then she says; "I've never seen o-other clan cats before... no... no one ever told me about gatherings and... uh... I..." silence again... poor frogpaw... she's just confused

[puppeteer]

Galekit giggled as Honeykit joined him, but bristled as she... corrected him??? "I WILL call them stinky!! They're stinky!!" His mews of indignation were cut off quickly as his sister burrowed closer to him, and she smelled scared! No one scared his sister but him!! He growled low, with a slight snarl twisting his little face. "Go away, stinky!!" He almost yelled at the stinky apprentice that had poked him. He felt Cinderpaw getting closer to him and his sister and he felt really happy she was here.

"Cindy, why does he speak weird?" He whispered to the large grey apprentice. At Stormclaws words, Galekit hissed and swatted at the bigger warrior. "NO! I will NOT LEAVE!! I AM WITH MY SISTERS THANK YOU!" He stuck out his tongue again. No one but Mama and his big sister Cindy told him what to do! Except maybe Big Cat Sparrow, but she needed to have some friend time first. "Wait... Who's Dawnstar and Dawnstripe? Are they friends?" He had no idea who these cats everyone who was talking about were. Cindy got closer to him and Honeykit. She didn't smell right. He twisted his head to look up at his new big sister. "Sissy, are you okay?" His little voice was full of concern for the grey apprentice.

A new voice came... BIG CAT SPARROW!!! He looked up with a happy smile. "HELLO BIG CAT SPARROW!!! I AM WITH MY SISTERS!!" He was so, so excited to tell everyone that he was with his sisters! "Why would Mama be worried? We're having fun!!" Big Cat Sparrow told him and Honeykit that if they said ANYTHING mean (basically, anyways, he didn't know what her big words meant) that they'd be sent home with the fun ruiner. He stuck his tongue out again at Stormclaw. Then he smelled Mama. "Uh oh." He murmured, padding backwards to hide under Cinderpaw, but Mama had already seen them. He barely heard Cinderpaw saying they should sit somewhere else, but she was defending him and Honeykit!! He bounced happily under the big cat. He smiled up at Mama and waved his. "Hi, Mama!! I'm having so much fun!!"

He looked at how many cats were at the gathering, but then he realized that's only Thunder clan and his own clan. "I hope I get to meet others!" He said in a happy-go-lucky voice.

Goldenpaw of ThunderClan | he/him | open!!

Oh great, now the toads were here. Goldenpaw couldnt help but let out a snort as he walked them stalk in. Stars, how edgy could they be? It was no wonder how much people seemed to dislike them. Well, outside of the whole 'taking over clans' thing. That wasnt that cool of them. Scoffing, he turned his head away from the arriving group of cats, intent on simply ignoring them.


➴|Larkpaw|➶
He/They| WC:171

He didn't really want to socialize, that just seemed like a way to ruin his perfectly swell evening. But that's just what you did at gatherings, or at least that's what he assumed anyway, he'd never been to one before.

Their dark blue eyes roamed over the crowd of Riverclan cats, it seemed none of his siblings were here, except well Fennelcall but they actively chose to ignore him. So none of his family was here, just him. Which kind of sucked, as even if he had to socialize they much rather do it with someone like Kestrelpaw, than a total stranger. But it looked like that's who he'd be stuck with.

They choose their company rather stupidly wisely, picking someone who looked about as unimpressed as he did. Fully knowing that when he did that it usually didn't end well. Still he would try.

"You look happy to be here." Larkpaw said sarcastically, a rather hypocritical statement as the apprentice never looked happy to be anywhere, but that was usual.

The tabby paused for a moment, "hm, not quite, but you did seem upset." he meowed with a little nod, Fennelcall let his shoulders relax as he began to settle into his conversation. Fennelcall's attention shifted for a moment to the.. kits? in the gathering, he wanted to go over and assist but he noticed that there were already plenty of cats there, including Sparrowstar and the kittens mother, but when the Thunderclan cat began talking again his gaze returned to him.

"Oh?" he asked gently, "May I ask why?" he knew that the two had only just met but Fennelcall had mental health problems in the past, and so of course he had sympathy for the Thunderclan tom. It had been a bad place for himself, and honestly he had only just managed to get through it, what he needed at the time was someone willing to listen, so that is what he would do, listen if they wanted to talk.

~ Leafpaw walked along with her clanmates to the seastones, her second gathering!! Hopefully she'll be able to talk with more cats than last time. The fawn tabby scrunched up her face when all the scents of each clan seemed to mush together. Leafpaw shook her head before padding around to find a spot to sit bumping into other cats a few sorrys leaving her when she did. Eventually the molly found a good spot. One not to near and not to far from the stones and sat down flicking her tail. Leafpaw watched as the rest of her clanmate came and sat hoping to see anyone of her family members. Ashclaw caught her sight and was about to get up to greet him before deciding against it. Where was he when Doepaw had came back completely injured? No where. Leafpaw shook her head before looking back at her clanmates and saw her brother and smiled.

Milkpaw's first gathering. He hadn't had the courage to show up last time, like her sister had. But now he felt more ready than before, and followed gingerly Leafpaw surrounded by his clanmates to the weird place called Seastones.
Great Starclan, that's lot of water ahead! And lots of stones, too. From which, the name of the place.

Milkpaw had trekked along slowly, stumbling twice and unable to hide his nervousness. Relief washed over him as finally Leafpaw turned around and noticed him. She was always so fast, so curious and eager, always at the head of the group! I envy her so much.

The fluffy apprentice sat down beside her sister and greeted her with a wave of his tail, happy that he wouldn't be alone tonight.

"I-I know! and-and they said riverclanners were part fish but half the riverclan cats here are more cat-like than me!" She joked. FrogPaws eyes lit up as she finally made eye contact with ScalePaw. So this is what she was really like... Why was she so nervous at first?

[Rose]

Honeykit
She/Her

Frozen in place, glued to the spot in which she was sitting, Honeykit let herself shrink into a tiny, trembling ball of fluff, olive eyes peeking from behind her paws. Because obviously, obviously, Honeykit still had to witness everything somehow even if she was terrified. At least the big cat who Galekit was adamant on calling 'stinky' hadn't said anything. Well, he'd said something, but it left Honeykit more puzzled than ever. "Away?" She repeated, innocent eyes widening impossibly further. "Is that a secret? Away?"

Sadly enough, she'd barely been able to squeak out the question when someone started yelling at her and Galekit, causing her ears to pin back and at the same time her indignance to flare up. "A warrior does not yell." Honeykit stated matter-of-factually, jutting her chin up in the air as she locked gazes with Stormclaw. He wasn't allowed to yell at her! She was special, duh! Mamma would obviously be angry at this warrior for yelling at her darling Honeykit.

But when Stormclaw went and mentioned Honeykit's own father, of how Thunderblaze would be disappointed with her actions, the tiny kitten's lower lip wobbled threateningly. And soon enough, her startling, vibrant olive eyes were filling with shimmering, unshed tears. One pathetic wail from her small mouth and this warrior would be in a queen-load of trouble. If it wasn't for Galekit's sudden outburst, yelling back at the warrior who'd yelled at them, Honeykit would have made good on that threat, wailing loud enough for the entirety of the Gathering to hear. But instead, the flow of tears just silently poured down her cheeks, and she sniffled quietly.

Attempting to huddle into Galekit's side, the small, dilute calico she-kit realized for the first time that there was a living, breathing feline standing above them. And Galey kept calling her.. Cindy? "T-there's a cat above us." She sniffled as she wiped the tears from her face, tone filled with awe. "I thought it was a rock." Craning her neck to look up at Cinderpaw, Honeykit's voice wobbled for a moment. "I thought you were a rock." She mumbled (in apology, as Honeykit was too stubborn to outright say sorry), and then tried to snuggle against the grey apprentice's forepaws. If Galekit thought Cindy was safe, then he was probably right.

"I'm okay." She replied to him in a quiet whisper, falling silent as Sparrow-something joined them. Oh! She knew this cat! And Galekit did too!

Just as she was beginning to calm down, there was that word again. 'Away.' It piqued her curiosity, but Honeykit didn't want anyone else noticing the wetness of her cheeks. Especially not that meanie cat, whatever his name was.

It was about that time that Honeykit's ears pricked, and a familiar scent wafted towards her. "Mamma!" The kitten squealed happily, peeking out from under Cinderpaw to beam up at Rainfall as if nothing was wrong, and that she'd been the most innocent kitten on the plant. Mamma would understand. Mamma never got mad at Honeykit for long!

But when Rainfall asked Galekit if he wanted to be carried, Honeykit's mouth pulled downwards in a pout. How come Mamma hadn't asked her? Sitting back on her haunches, Honeykit widened her olive eyes meaningfully at her mother. "Aren't you going to ask me if I want to be carried?" She asked, utterly confused with the turn of events. Didn't mamma love her more? Or maybe it was the same with her and Galekit. Fine, she supposed she could settle for equal love.

Vigorously nodding her head a second later, Honeykit threw up her paws to agree with her adoptive brother. "Yeah! Fun! Except for the... the... s-stinky warrior over there!" Here, an accusing paw was pointed in Stormclaw's direction, and Honeykit sniffled again for added effect. "He said daddy would not like me."

And soon enough, her startling, vibrant olive eyes were filling with shimmering, unshed tears. One pathetic wail from her small mouth and this warrior would be in a queen-load of trouble. If it wasn't for Galekit's sudden outburst, yelling back at the warrior who'd yelled at them, Honeykit would have made good on that threat, wailing loud enough for the entirety of the Gathering to hear. But instead, the flow of tears just silently poured down her cheeks, and she sniffled quietly.

Attempting to huddle into Galekit's side, the small, dilute calico she-kit realized for the first time that there was a living, breathing feline standing above them. And Galey kept calling her.. Cindy? "T-there's a cat above us." She sniffled as she wiped the tears from her face, tone filled with awe. "I thought it was a rock." Craning her neck to look up at Cinderpaw, Honeykit's voice wobbled for a moment. "I thought you were a rock." She mumbled (in apology, as Honeykit was too stubborn to outright say sorry), and then tried to snuggle against the grey apprentice's forepaws. If Galekit thought Cindy was safe, then he was probably right.

"I'm okay." She replied to him in a quiet whisper, falling silent as Sparrow-something joined them. Oh! She knew this cat! And Galekit did too!

Just as she was beginning to calm down, there was that word again. 'Away.' It piqued her curiosity, but Honeykit didn't want anyone else noticing the wetness of her cheeks. Especially not that meanie cat, whatever his name was.

It was about that time that Honeykit's ears pricked, and a familiar scent wafted towards her. "Mamma!" The kitten squealed happily, peeking out from under Cinderpaw to beam up at Rainfall as if nothing was wrong, and that she'd been the most innocent kitten on the plant. Mamma would understand. Mamma never got mad at Honeykit for long!

But when Rainfall asked Galekit if he wanted to be carried, Honeykit's mouth pulled downwards in a pout. How come Mamma hadn't asked her? Sitting back on her haunches, Honeykit widened her olive eyes meaningfully at her mother. "Aren't you going to ask me if I want to be carried?" She asked, utterly confused with the turn of events. Didn't mamma love her more? Or maybe it was the same with her and Galekit. Fine, she supposed she could settle for equal love.

Vigorously nodding her head a second later, Honeykit threw up her paws to agree with her adoptive brother. "Yeah! Fun! Except for the... the... s-stinky warrior over there!" Here, an accusing paw was pointed in Stormclaw's direction, and Honeykit sniffled again for added effect. "He said daddy would not like me."

"The older apprentices are mean in thunderclan- They told e a shadowclan cat would kill me before I came- I had to be dragged in by a she-cat named littlefern because I was trembling so much- I-I can't believe I actually believed them...!" She giggles as she talks. As a few more cats enter the clearing, FrogPaw gets closer to ScalePaw. Although no other cats were really around her, she just felt more comfortable sitting close to a friendly face and maybe her first friend...?

[taillow]

Roanpaw
From where he sat, the sound of more paw steps caused his head to turn, unblinking gaze fixed on another ThunderClan cat. Wow. So many were arriving for the kits that Roanpaw couldn't help but think if they had this much dedication in camp, then maybe the kits wouldn't have been able to sneak out. Internally, he chuckled at his own thoughts but on the outside his expression was unchanging and unwavering. This newcomer glared at him - to which Roanpaw responded with an emotionless stare - and the angry apprentice started to heard them away. Well. That was no fun.

He made no effort to follow them and instead just watched. His green gaze bore into Cinderpaw's back, memorizing every detail of her pelt, every tuft of fur... saving it away for later. Only after he had stared long enough to commit her to memory did he look away. He'd be seeing her later.

One of the kits of the bunch seemed rather curious by him, apparent in her round eyes. Once his gaze left Cinderpaw it traveled to... Honeykit, was her name? Hmm. Roanpaw stared at her, unblinking. She was very small, too young to be out here for too long - that much was obvious. Then, another sinister grin as he clicked his tongue to get her attention. "Away." One more for good measure.

Then, because there were too many ThunderClan cats in the area for his liking, the brown and cream apprentice rose to his paws and slunk off towards the back of the crowd. He was ready to go home, but knew that his grandmother would highly disapprove of him simply leaving. So instead he sought out a familiar pelt in the crowd. Family? That was his sister mentor, wasn't it? Roanpaw took a seat next to Vixensnarl, turning his unblinking, owlish green eyes up at her. "Away." And with that, he turned to look back to where his grandmother was sitting.

~ Rainfall listened to her son speak, not answering her question before looking over at Cinderpaw who had made the argument.. well not an argument? Just a suggestion that the kits should get to stay for a fun night. Hm, Rainfall thought for a moment before hearing Honeykit and the confusion and a hint of sadness in her voice and felt her heart melt before giving the small kit a lick on the head in a comforting manner.

"I was already planning on carrying you home, Dear. I don't want you to hurt your paws from walking more"

Huh? What was that? A grown warrior telling a small kit that her father didn't like her. Rainfall knew that a gathering was a time of peace and such so the queen had to hold in any outbursts but did shoot daggers at Stormclaw before seeing Thunderblaze make his way to the group.

"They snuck away while I was asleep with the others."

Rainfall looked back at the kits. The queen started to think again, flicking the tip of her tail back and forth coming to a decision. 

"You two can stay since Sparrowstar said you could, But I am staying too but don't think you two aren't in trouble. And the moment I see any of you shivering I'll be taking you home early, Understood?"

Rainfall said before sitting down motioning for the kits to get close to her so she can keep them warm. ~

He didn't really want to socialize, that just seemed like a way to ruin his perfectly swell evening. But that's just what you did at gatherings, or at least that's what he assumed anyway, he'd never been to one before.

Their dark blue eyes roamed over the crowd of Riverclan cats, it seemed none of his siblings were here, except well Fennelcall but they actively chose to ignore him. So none of his family was here, just him. Which kind of sucked, as even if he had to socialize they much rather do it with someone like Kestrelpaw, than a total stranger. But it looked like that's who he'd be stuck with.

They choose their company rather stupidly wisely, picking someone who looked about as unimpressed as he did. Fully knowing that when he did that it usually didn't end well. Still he would try.

"You look happy to be here." Larkpaw said sarcastically, a rather hypocritical statement as the apprentice never looked happy to be anywhere, but that was usual.

After ShadowClan arrived, RiverClan and WindClan soon followed. Thank the stars, now it would just be the toads keeping him company. He was sure if they stayed the only other clan for very longer they would have stunk up the entire place. Even though it was his first gathering, nothing seemed all too exciting. Was the only thing to do around here acting all buddy-buddy with the other clans? C'mon, he wanted drama! He wanted action! He wanted excitement!

The calico flicked an ear at the sound of approaching pawsteps before he slightly turned his head to glance at whoever was coming towards him. Well, at least it was a WindClan cat. That was probably the only clan they havent had any issues with in the time he'd been alive. Which wasnt that long, sure, but the fact that they had been in two huge conflicts withing 8 moons? Yikes.

"You don't seem all that self-aware" he replied shortly, looking the other tom up and down. Really, this cat looked just as unimpressed as he did.

Oh great, now the toads were here. Goldenpaw couldnt help but let out a snort as he walked them stalk in. Stars, how edgy could they be? It was no wonder how much people seemed to dislike them. Well, outside of the whole 'taking over clans' thing. That wasnt that cool of them. Scoffing, he turned his head away from the arriving group of cats, intent on simply ignoring them.

SagePaw walked over from the rest of the crowd."Hello, you must be of Thunder clan, I'm SagePaw of Shadow clan!" The white tom mewed, happy to find someone to talk with.

Mintpaw turned as a mysterious voice introduced himself. Sagenose? It sounds... lovely. She thought as she heard the tom's name. Although he didn't smell of sage, but pinesap and mud. Her clanmates would call Shadowclan cats stinky, but Mintpaw liked to smell and learn new scents, even weird or bad ones.

She dipped her head, doing her best to hold the conversation. She wasn't really used to that, but she also knew that Slatestripe would be proud of her for this. "Mintpaw."
Oh, Lilyleaf was here! She purred at her mother and greeted her with a touch of her tail, sincerely happy that she was here with her.

The white warrior had noticed the tiny shells she was collecting on the shore, and surprise sparkled in her blue eyes. It was so unusual for a Shadowclan cat to give notice of such ordinary things... even Riverclan cats didn't have her unusual passion. "Yes... they look so different under the moonlight."

A Shadowclan cat who likes to gather shells..? That was surely the weirdest thing she had ever heard so far. But she was lucky, indeed.
She nodded and pointed some with her tail, a patch where she was splitting up the prettiest from the rest. There was one pure white, just like this cat's pelt. She nosed it apart from the others and offered it to him. "This is.. like you."

"It's one of my less attractive attributes." He said with his usual condescension. Tonight he was being much more pleasant than usual, this apprentice should be thankful. "Though most wait to introduce themselves before pointing them at, but it's okay, I'll choose to adimire your courage."

Obviously this Thunderclan cat was interesting enough, maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all. As long as he could get him to say more than six words that is. But the silver tabby wasn't usually the one to hold conversations, only end them.

Ruepaw skips a long after his Clanmates, only loosely following. The pretty calico didn't seem all too interested in paying attention to the leaders or his older peers. His yellow eyes sweep the area surrounding the Seastones for any easy-ins. Easy pickings. He still had some energy to burn off.

Goldenpaw of ThunderClan |he/him

Aaand, they were still coming. It just seemed like an endless stream on angsty cats. He only paid them half of his attention, not entirely interested in the ShadowClan cats. They all looked way too similar, filled with dark browns and greys with the occasional black cat. Well, maybe that made sense. They literally based their entire clan off of being shady, so why not look the part?

Briefly he noticed that he met the gaze of a cat who had a similar coat to him - same eye color, even. Freaky. He scrunched his nose up at the thought, not at all sad about turning his back to the other tom. Interesting pelt color aside, he refused to initiate any sort of conversation with a ShadowClan cat.

In the crowd of dung-colored cats and entirely all-too-dreary adults, Ruepaw spots a brighter pelt. One like his own, kinda! His eyes focus on the other cat, with their back turned to him they seemed quite okay with being on their own. But... He didn't care much for reading signs.

The apprentice lowers down to the ground and skitters closer, sneaking up on the other cat until he was right behind them. Then without notice, Ruepaw pops up and aims a light stomp (a non-painful, purely shock-inducing) at the cat's tail. "Hi there, pretty!"

[Ian]

Hazelpaw's bright blue eyes flicker around the clearing in search of someone interesting to talk to before the announcements started. Instead of finding what she was looking for, the Siamese spotted an apprentice sneaking up on Goldenpaw, who looked a bit like him. Were they brothers? No, she hadn't seen that other cat in ThunderClan before. Well, if he was going to sneak up on one of her Clanmates, she would do the same to him!

The molly's pupils dilated into wide black orbs as she slowly crept toward Ruepaw's back. With a wiggle of her haunches, Hazelpaw leaped, paws aiming to land squarely on the tip of Ruepaw's tail, though her claws remained sheathed, and she hadn't put her entire weight behind it. After all, even if he was a stinky ShadowClanner (she could tell by the scent now that she had gotten closer), he didn't seem like he had been trying to hurt Goldenpaw.

Coldsong [WC -- OPEN]

It was his first gathering in over 30 moons...and Coldsong couldn't be more thrilled to be back. By the time WindClan arrived, the Seastones was already bustling with cats from all the Clans, mingling and catching up like old pals. Coldsong hadn't been around this many cats in so long. The vibe was immaculate and his heart was racing.

The heavily-scarred tom took his seat among them, blue eyes searching with eagerness to talk to someone.


Sunstone [RC -- OPEN]

The colossal tom was loafing atop a stray rock a little ways outside of the crowd. He loved gatherings and social events, but keeping up with it all was...less of his taste. He was more of a listener than a talker. His cadence was too slow for most cats, too, so the ginger giant was contnt with sitting by himself -- watching the action from the sidelines.

However, if someone were to approach him, he would not steer clear of their company.

[forest]

~Russetflare~

After disapearign from the clan, he was suprised to be picked to go to the Gathering. Perhaps Sparrowstar still trusted him.



*Hollowstorm*

It was the first gathering since he and Blossomflight split up. The love that once burned so fiercely in his heart had resolved to a dim flame.

He watched Pikestar jump on the rock. He watched the new deputy, Gingerfrost, leap up next to him. Of course he was happy for him, but deep down in his heart he felt envy.

How unfair was it that a loyal- well, attempting to be loyal- tom denied of an apprentice? Perhaps his time will come. His time to shine! It had been awhile since he had suggested the new territory. Perhaps, if Pikestar did make it into a piece of territory, some cats would respect him. Maybe.

Flintfang
He/Him

One would have thought that putting a younger sister to sleep (more like making sure she fell asleep in her nest so he could sneak off because he'd sworn that he wouldn't be attending) before hurrying out to join the cats leaving for the Gathering. But what could he do? Flintfang was dying to see Raccoonpelt again, so he had to sneak past his sister. Because she'd get very suspicious if he swore that he didn't want to go to the Gathering, and then went anyway.

It didn't take long for the silver-furred tom to reach Seastones, and one sweep of the settled cats had him immensely pleased. Aha, Raccoonpelt was in attendance. Casually striding over, Flintfang cleared his throat, angling his face downward to smirk at the ShadowClanner now at his side. "Don't you look particularly beautiful tonight?" He asked, promptly sitting down at Raccoonpelt's side.

A familiar flash of fur had Flintfang's sage orbs widening with panic, and he angled himself behind Raccoonpelt so that hopefully his sister wouldn't notice him. Oh no, had Silverpaw suspected that he'd be attending after all? She'd played him for a fool, hadn't she? The little rascal, he should have expected it. Despite this, Flintfang couldn't help but feel a flash of fondness towards his sister. But right now, she hopefully would not see him.

silverpaw
| small sleek grey tabby molly with black right front leg; amber eyes |

Silverpaw , much to her elder brothers chagrin, had decided to come to this Gathering. She looked everywhere for him, and finally saw the grey-pelted tom. He was... way too close to a ShadowClanner than she liked. The gruff apprentice had an angry look on her face as she stalked over to her brother. "Good evening, big brother!" She chirped to the darker grey tom as she sat beside him, and shot a nasty glare to the ShadowClanner. "Hello...toad." Her words dripped with malice to the other cat, and she pointedly turned her face back towards the Seastone and the leaders atop it.

{ Kat @/The Heir Apparent }

[Beamheart]

Coldsong [WC -- OPEN]

It was his first gathering in over 30 moons...and Coldsong couldn't be more thrilled to be back. By the time WindClan arrived, the Seastones was already bustling with cats from all the Clans, mingling and catching up like old pals. Coldsong hadn't been around this many cats in so long. The vibe was immaculate and his heart was racing.

The heavily-scarred tom took his seat among them, blue eyes searching with eagerness to talk to someone.


Sunstone [RC -- OPEN]

The colossal tom was loafing atop a stray rock a little ways outside of the crowd. He loved gatherings and social events, but keeping up with it all was...less of his taste. He was more of a listener than a talker. His cadence was too slow for most cats, too, so the ginger giant was contnt with sitting by himself -- watching the action from the sidelines.

However, if someone were to approach him, he would not steer clear of their company.




Firelight eagerly looked around for someone to talk to. She always loved Gatherings -- all the cats socializing and filling the air with such a merry feeling, all the clans easing their quarrels with each other and existing in harmony, and so many potential friends.

An unknown WindClan cat caught her attention. Firelight had not met that one before. He didn't seem like one of those cats who disliked socializing, which gave Firelight the initiative to talk with him.

"Hey," Firelight meowed, padding up to the WindClan tom. "I'm Firelight. What's your name?"

Honeykit
She/Her

Frozen in place, glued to the spot in which she was sitting, Honeykit let herself shrink into a tiny, trembling ball of fluff, olive eyes peeking from behind her paws. Because obviously, obviously, Honeykit still had to witness everything somehow even if she was terrified. At least the big cat who Galekit was adamant on calling 'stinky' hadn't said anything. Well, he'd said something, but it left Honeykit more puzzled than ever. "Away?" She repeated, innocent eyes widening impossibly further. "Is that a secret? Away?"

Sadly enough, she'd barely been able to squeak out the question when someone started yelling at her and Galekit, causing her ears to pin back and at the same time her indignance to flare up. "A warrior does not yell." Honeykit stated matter-of-factually, jutting her chin up in the air as she locked gazes with Stormclaw. He wasn't allowed to yell at her! She was special, duh! Mamma would obviously be angry at this warrior for yelling at her darling Honeykit.

But when Stormclaw went and mentioned Honeykit's own father, of how Thunderblaze would be disappointed with her actions, the tiny kitten's lower lip wobbled threateningly. And soon enough, her startling, vibrant olive eyes were filling with shimmering, unshed tears. One pathetic wail from her small mouth and this warrior would be in a queen-load of trouble. If it wasn't for Galekit's sudden outburst, yelling back at the warrior who'd yelled at them, Honeykit would have made good on that threat, wailing loud enough for the entirety of the Gathering to hear. But instead, the flow of tears just silently poured down her cheeks, and she sniffled quietly.

Attempting to huddle into Galekit's side, the small, dilute calico she-kit realized for the first time that there was a living, breathing feline standing above them. And Galey kept calling her.. Cindy? "T-there's a cat above us." She sniffled as she wiped the tears from her face, tone filled with awe. "I thought it was a rock." Craning her neck to look up at Cinderpaw, Honeykit's voice wobbled for a moment. "I thought you were a rock." She mumbled (in apology, as Honeykit was too stubborn to outright say sorry), and then tried to snuggle against the grey apprentice's forepaws. If Galekit thought Cindy was safe, then he was probably right.

"I'm okay." She replied to him in a quiet whisper, falling silent as Sparrow-something joined them. Oh! She knew this cat! And Galekit did too!

Just as she was beginning to calm down, there was that word again. 'Away.' It piqued her curiosity, but Honeykit didn't want anyone else noticing the wetness of her cheeks. Especially not that meanie cat, whatever his name was.

It was about that time that Honeykit's ears pricked, and a familiar scent wafted towards her. "Mamma!" The kitten squealed happily, peeking out from under Cinderpaw to beam up at Rainfall as if nothing was wrong, and that she'd been the most innocent kitten on the plant. Mamma would understand. Mamma never got mad at Honeykit for long!

But when Rainfall asked Galekit if he wanted to be carried, Honeykit's mouth pulled downwards in a pout. How come Mamma hadn't asked her? Sitting back on her haunches, Honeykit widened her olive eyes meaningfully at her mother. "Aren't you going to ask me if I want to be carried?" She asked, utterly confused with the turn of events. Didn't mamma love her more? Or maybe it was the same with her and Galekit. Fine, she supposed she could settle for equal love.

Vigorously nodding her head a second later, Honeykit threw up her paws to agree with her adoptive brother. "Yeah! Fun! Except for the... the... s-stinky warrior over there!" Here, an accusing paw was pointed in Stormclaw's direction, and Honeykit sniffled again for added effect. "He said daddy would not like me."

~ Rainfall listened to her son speak, not answering her question before looking over at Cinderpaw who had made the argument.. well not an argument? Just a suggestion that the kits should get to stay for a fun night. Hm, Rainfall thought for a moment before hearing Honeykit and the confusion and a hint of sadness in her voice and felt her heart melt before giving the small kit a lick on the head in a comforting manner.

"I was already planning on carrying you home, Dear. I don't want you to hurt your paws from walking more"

Huh? What was that? A grown warrior telling a small kit that her father didn't like her. Rainfall knew that a gathering was a time of peace and such so the queen had to hold in any outbursts but did shoot daggers at Stormclaw before seeing Thunderblaze make his way to the group.

"They snuck away while I was asleep with the others."

Rainfall looked back at the kits. The queen started to think again, flicking the tip of her tail back and forth coming to a decision. 

"You two can stay since Sparrowstar said you could, But I am staying too but don't think you two aren't in trouble. And the moment I see any of you shivering I'll be taking you home early, Understood?"

Rainfall said before sitting down motioning for the kits to get close to her so she can keep them warm. ~

{ The Heir Apparent littlelove }


Despite the departure of the weasel apprentice and the kittens cuddling up to her forepaws, Cinderpaw couldn't bring herself to relax. Her muscles stayed strained and ready to move if any other threat came towards the little group. No matter how many times gatherings were claimed as a time of peace, with fox-hearts in the clans, that couldn't be true. She attempted to distract herself by giving a look of thanks towards the kits' mother before looking down to the little bodies down at her paws.

"'m pret-t-ty big n' grey. Rock's a c-c-comp--lement." She joked, raspy voice gaining a gentle tone. She'd been called and treated far worse - 'rock' was a comparison she could live with. "Snu--ck out p-p-plenty when I was a ki--t. With--" She paused, something squeezing her chest. Trying to hide any sadness, she continued. "Bumblebre--ak. Ev--eryone causes pro--blems sometimes."

As far as she was concerned, sneaking out to a gathering was probably not on her top list of problems kits could cause. Though, Cinderpaw reckoned she wasn't a parent. But she'd never had Shallowshiver or Sleethound scold her for anything in her kithood (Not that they were around for a lot of it).

She looked down to Galekit, who was letting out a big yawn, and shuffled down into a lying position to offer the kit one of her forelegs as a pillow. She forced any comparisons of the little tom to the ones she'd lost back as she wracked her head over one of the things he'd said before. Honeykit was the only other kitten there, but he'd said 'I AM WITH MY SISTERS THANK YOU!'...

Tears threatened to prick at her eyes, and Cinderpaw could feel her heart just about shatter.

Belated and scampering in to avoid losing previous fullmoon time, Gooseholly felt light-headed among the crowd of cats. She itched for interaction that’d been depraved of her; the ranks’ announcements were far from the main event, may as well not even bother with those. It was as she was merging into the crowd that she had to step aside to dodge a cat leaving. And she paused, eyebrow quirked at the oddity of somebody just strolling out. Why bother showing up?

”Wait!” Gooseholly did a sharp turn to bound ahead of him and stand in the path. Her curiosity was heightened. ”I, Goosestar, demand you to stop right now and listen to us leaders drone about politics.”

She didn’t get through it with a straight face.

”Just teasing. Where are we going?” she inquired, stepping aside to follow. Maybe not how she'd planned it, but this was a more than suitable engagement to kick off the evening.

Her ears twitched slightly at Sagepaw's suggestion - did he really want her company? "..Yes, I'll come with you." She mewed simply in reply. She had just started to realize that this was her first real interaction with another apprentice, and it wasn't with a Riverclanner. How weird... But he is so kind.

This gesture warmed her a little bit, and the coldness of the night didn't bother her much anymore. She wondered how it would be to follow the Gathering with another cat.

Raccoonpelt watched as Flintfang emerged from the group and strided over to him. Raccoonpelt let out a small purr, The shadowclanner wanted to nuzzle against the tom next to him but stopped himself. Raccoonpelt opened his mouth to reply to Filntfang when he noticed the tom looked like he was trying to hide?

"Are yo-"

That line was cutoff when a unknown voice reached his ears and turned his head to the owner of it. An apprentice? Then the words that had been said registered into his mind

"Good evening, big brother!"

So this was Flintfangs sister? It made sense since she had the same silver pelt as him with the exception of a single black leg. Raccoonpelt noticed at him and Flintfang were sitting too close for two cats from different clans. Raccoonpelt went and scooted a little from Flintfang side. The warrior was about to greet the apprentice but before he could she had called him a toad. This was not going well. So much for your first meet with your in-laws am I right? ~

"Ashpaw?" Wasn't that Ashclaw's apprentice? Milkpaw had always thought that her sister didn't like that cat, but maybe he'd been wrong all along. Anyway, she didn't seem to have very good manners if Twilighstar had to sent her back from a Gathering.

He gazed at the important cats perched on the biggest rocks. Then, leaning closer to Leafpaw, he asked while pointing with his tail: "Can you remember all the names of the leaders, deputies and medicine cats?"
Deertrot had listed them all during his territory tour, but he wasn't sure he remembered everyone correctly.

"Yeah! I am from ThunderClan! I bet you're from RiverClan, 'cause your pelt is kinda shiny and looks like it would be good for swimming." Burningpaw mewed, "With the kits, I think they snuck out and followed us here." She curled her tail around her lithe body, trying to keep warm.

He looked up at the scarred apprentice still standing- wait, no, now she sat down to offer her forepaw for him to lay on. He yawned, curling up just under Cinderpaw, basically cuddling her instead. "You...'re my bes...t frriend.." His words drifted quietly as he spoke to his new big sister, snoring softly as he did.

[ Quasar ]

In the crowd of dung-colored cats and entirely all-too-dreary adults, Ruepaw spots a brighter pelt. One like his own, kinda! His eyes focus on the other cat, with their back turned to him they seemed quite okay with being on their own. But... He didn't care much for reading signs.

The apprentice lowers down to the ground and skitters closer, sneaking up on the other cat until he was right behind them. Then without notice, Ruepaw pops up and aims a light stomp (a non-painful, purely shock-inducing) at the cat's tail. "Hi there, pretty!"
Hazelpaw's bright blue eyes flicker around the clearing in search of someone interesting to talk to before the announcements started. Instead of finding what she was looking for, the Siamese spotted an apprentice sneaking up on Goldenpaw, who looked a bit like him. Were they brothers? No, she hadn't seen that other cat in ThunderClan before. Well, if he was going to sneak up on one of her Clanmates, she would do the same to him!

The molly's pupils dilated into wide black orbs as she slowly crept toward Ruepaw's back. With a wiggle of her haunches, Hazelpaw leaped, paws aiming to land squarely on the tip of Ruepaw's tail, though her claws remained sheathed, and she hadn't put her entire weight behind it. After all, even if he was a stinky ShadowClanner (she could tell by the scent now that she had gotten closer), he didn't seem like he had been trying to hurt Goldenpaw.

The tom jolted slightly at the unexpected weight on his tail, swiftly whipping around to see the ShadowClan cat he had noticed earlier. Fan-freaking-tastic. "What's up with you?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, gazing at the other tom with slight suspicion. Sure, not every ShadowClan cat was guaranteed to constantly be up to something, but that seemed to be the case enough times to justify his dislike for them. It would take a hell of a long time for a cat from ShadowClan to ever gain his trust, no matter their relationship with ThunderClan.

Barely a second later, Goldenpaw noticed a more familiar cat slowly stalking towards the ShadowClan apprentice's tail, a rather common target if this gathering was anything to go off of thus far, "Is this some sort of Gathering tradition I wasn't let in on?" he involuntarily let out a small snort, loosening up in the company of a clanmate he knew relatively well.

Frostpaw of ShadowClan | she/her [switching this to Frost to get her post requirements out of the way]

She was among the last of the ShadowClan cats to arrive, it seemed. Well, not that she necessarily minded. She was completely fine with being fashionably late. Padding to a seemingly open space in the quickly filled clearing, she plonked her butt down right next to what seemed to be a RiverClan apprentice, "Sorry if someone was already sitting here, I guess, but this is my spot now" she hummed, examining her claws. The seal-point didnt expect a conversation at all; hell, she would probably prefer if the other cat stayed silent. She didnt come her to talk to the other clans, after all.

(- That was harsh -) He thought as his grey striped tail just went higher. " And you look stunning, so much so that my eyes are burning." He said sarcastically,as his leaf green eyes looked away from him.

"Weird for one of you 'almighty' ShadowClan cats to get so pissed off by a simple reaction" He flatly replied, "Though, actually I guess that aint all that unbelievable, seeing the type of things you lot have done over nothin'." So what if he was being harsh? He wasnt about to start acting all friendly with a clan of savages.

Sure, not every ShadowClan cat was guaranteed to constantly be up to something, but that seemed to be the case enough times to justify his dislike for them. It would take a hell of a long time for a cat from ShadowClan to ever gain his trust, no matter their relationship with ThunderClan.

Barely a second later, Goldenpaw noticed a more familiar cat slowly stalking towards the ShadowClan apprentice's tail, a rather common target if this gathering was anything to go off of thus far, "Is this some sort of Gathering tradition I wasn't let in on?" he involuntarily let out a small snort, loosening up in the company of a clanmate he knew relatively well.



Frostpaw of ShadowClan | she/her [switching this to Frost to get her post requirements out of the way]

She was among the last of the ShadowClan cats to arrive, it seemed. Well, not that she necessarily minded. She was completely fine with being fashionably late. Padding to a seemingly open space in the quickly filled clearing, she plonked her butt down right next to what seemed to be a RiverClan apprentice, "Sorry if someone was already sitting here, I guess, but this is my spot now" she hummed, examining her claws. The seal-point didnt expect a conversation at all; hell, she would probably prefer if the other cat stayed silent. She didnt come her to talk to the other clans, after all.



Goldenpaw of ThunderClan | he/him [how would you feel about his mentoring coming over to tag-team sage lmaooo]

"Weird for one of you 'almighty' ShadowClan cats to get so pissed off by a simple reaction" He flatly replied, "Though, actually I guess that aint all that unbelievable, seeing the type of things you lot have done over nothin'." So what if he was being harsh? He wasnt about to start acting all friendly with a clan of savages.

"Stereotypical nobody.." He mumbled under his breath. He was filled with annoyance and decided to walk away, but as soon as he tried, something was pulling the white tom back over there. His leaf green eyes lightened up, his grey striped tail swayed . Someone was trying to pull him back but who??

[Burning'Flame]

Swiftmoon snuck into the throng of cats, hopefully no one saw her come in late.

[Doom]

Firelight eagerly looked around for someone to talk to. She always loved Gatherings -- all the cats socializing and filling the air with such a merry feeling, all the clans easing their quarrels with each other and existing in harmony, and so many potential friends.

An unknown WindClan cat caught her attention. Firelight had not met that one before. He didn't seem like one of those cats who disliked socializing, which gave Firelight the initiative to talk with him.

"Hey," Firelight meowed, padding up to the WindClan tom. "I'm Firelight. What's your name?"

Coldsong's blue eyes rounded on the figure approaching him, ears perked with interest. "Oh, uh, hey-" He replied, struggling to pick his words. Come on, focus...she's just another cat. The white tom couldn't help but smile as she introduced herself. Firelight, eh? His whiskers twitched. It humored him how their names were opposites of each other, but he tried hard not to crack a stupid joke like that. "My name's Coldsong. I'm from WindClan." His chest puffed with pride as he introduced himself, relieved to be calling himself a WindClanner again. He cocked his head at her. "So, uh...what Clan are you from..?"

♡ Gooseholly​​​​​ ↴
Belated and scampering in to avoid losing previous fullmoon time, Gooseholly felt light-headed among the crowd of cats. She itched for interaction that’d been depraved of her; the ranks’ announcements were far from the main event, may as well not even bother with those. It was as she was merging into the crowd that she had to step aside to dodge a cat leaving. And she paused, eyebrow quirked at the oddity of somebody just strolling out. Why bother showing up?

”Wait!” Gooseholly did a sharp turn to bound ahead of him and stand in the path. Her curiosity was heightened. ”I, Goosestar, demand you to stop right now and listen to us leaders drone about politics.”

She didn’t get through it with a straight face.

”Just teasing. Where are we going?” she inquired, stepping aside to follow. Maybe not how she'd planned it, but this was a more than suitable engagement to kick off the evening.

Darkpetal sighed. “I dunno really,” he admitted,”maybe for some alone time.”

Honeykit
She/Her

Honeykit's tiny little body trembled with something she couldn't exactly place a finger on. Perhaps it was the aftershock of all that sobbing. Perhaps she was cold. Or perhaps she was so very excited that she was unable to hold still any longer.

Through that state of uncertainty, Honeykit was made aware that the cat Galekit kept calling stinky had stood. Her olive gaze immedietly followed the movement, as Honeykit was already fascinated by the ShadowClan cat. That word, once again. This time directed at her. Away. That word, it puzzled her. Made her want to shake someone until they told her why everyone kept saying it. But no, Honeykit was starting to suspect that she knew what it meant after all.

The second this big cat was out of hearing distance, Honeykit turned on her brother, an excited smile on her face as she tried to grab his shoulders and shake him. "Galey! You know that cat you were calling Stinky?! Guess what, his name's Away, not Stinky!" The dilute calico she-kit announced this certain revelation with grandeur, throwing out her paws with barely restrained glee.

After all, she had figured something out without the help of her sisters!

It took a moment for the tiny bundle of fluff to realize that Galekit wasn't even paying attention to her, and Honeykit huffed, slumping against Cinderpaw with a pout. Apparently her brother thought a nap was more important than her! The temper tantrum was quickly shoved aside though, and the tiny molly glanced up as she recalled Galekit calling Cindy his sister. "You're our sister?" She asked in awe, eyes as wide as saucers.

Shatteredsun
He/him
ThunderClan

The black and gold cat approached the ShadowClan apprentice.
"Is there a problem?"
He asked quietly, his voice monotone and his face expressionless. Shatteredsun wouldn't hesitate to speak to one of the leaders if there was a problem... He shouldn't have to, though. Cats older than six moons should be able to fend for themselves, and in his opinion, be trusted not to get into trouble. If they did, that was their own fault. He admired Dawnstar in this way, for the ShadowClan leader was ruthless and didn't care about opinions much. That's how Shatteredsun wanted to be, he wanted to be able to make other cats realize that he was not babysitting them.

"A little, but I don't want to be a tattle tale sir." Sagepaw said respectfully hoping that the phrase he just said wasn't going to get him in trouble. His leaf green eyes lightened to hear the cats response. "What is your name sir?" He asked curiously.

silverpaw
| small sleek grey tabby molly with black right front leg; amber eyes |

Silverpaw , much to her elder brothers chagrin, had decided to come to this Gathering. She looked everywhere for him, and finally saw the grey-pelted tom. He was... way too close to a ShadowClanner than she liked. The gruff apprentice had an angry look on her face as she stalked over to her brother. "Good evening, big brother!" She chirped to the darker grey tom as she sat beside him, and shot a nasty glare to the ShadowClanner. "Hello...toad." Her words dripped with malice to the other cat, and she pointedly turned her face back towards the Seastone and the leaders atop it.

| He/Him |
| A large grey cat with black and white markings that resembles a raccoon |

~ Raccoonpelt had kept on watching as the riverclan cats piled in but making sure it wasnt obvious that he was looking for someone. Then the silver pelt was in his eyesight. Raccoonpelt watched as Flintfang emerged from the group and strided over to him. Raccoonpelt let out a small purr, The shadowclanner wanted to nuzzle against the tom next to him but stopped himself. Raccoonpelt opened his mouth to reply to Filntfang when he noticed the tom looked like he was trying to hide?

"Are yo-"

That line was cutoff when a unknown voice reached his ears and turned his head to the owner of it. An apprentice? Then the words that had been said registered into his mind

"Good evening, big brother!"

So this was Flintfangs sister? It made sense since she had the same silver pelt as him with the exception of a single black leg. Raccoonpelt noticed at him and Flintfang were sitting too close for two cats from different clans. Raccoonpelt went and scooted a little from Flintfang side. The warrior was about to greet the apprentice but before he could she had called him a toad. This was not going well. So much for your first meet with your in-laws am I right? ~

He/Him

Ah, dear. His sister had spotted him. "Why, oh why does she have eyes?" He groaned to Raccoonpelt, attempting to hide behind his paws. It took a moment, and then Flintfang's grey head shot up once more. "Wait ... Did I say that out loud?" The question came out in a sheepish tone, but he never got a reply as Silverpaw had already made her way over.

"Evening, Silv." Flintfang said in a rather glum, put-off voice that only annoyed older brothers can manage, and then cleared his throat to cover the mishap. Her second sentence, however, had Flintfang's head jerking around so fast he was surprised he didn't give himself whiplash in the attempt to look at her with surprise. Oh. Oh great dear StarClan! She'd just called his mate a toad. Flintfang was going to die of humiliation. Clearing his throat for the third time in the past few minutes, the handsome tabby tom let out a strangled chuckle. "Silverpaw, meet my friend Raccoonpelt. Raccoonpelt, this is my sister Silverpaw."

The RiverClan warrior flicked his black tipped tail.
"Good. Wouldn't want anyone in trouble now, would we?"
Shatteredsun smiled faintly.
"I am Shatteredsun, from RiverClan. And you are?"
The golden-furred tom blinked as he waited for a response from the ShadowClan apprentice. He genuinely believed that the white cat was doing a responsible thing, as he himself would have done the same thing.

"So, how old are you? And is it your first gathering?" She asked

"No we wouldn't sir. " He said with a grin. "I'm Sage paw of Shadow clan, that's why we were arguing." He said as his leaf green eyes looked at the tom."Shatteredsun is a nice name sir." He said trying to complement the cat.

Darkpetal sighed. “I dunno really,” he admitted,”maybe for some alone time.”
♡ Gooseholly​​​​​ ↴
The concept of alone time seemed distinctly contradictory to her presence. "You went to a gathering hoping for alone time?" Gooseholly questioned, but she didn't press for an answer before moving on. "Well, lead the way. I can be quiet, I promise."

That was an optimistic promise, at best. Her name even spoke to a certain degree of guaranteed loudness. But she would give it a genuine attempt if only to offer solitude to a stranger while still remaining within his company.

For the first time, Cowpaw wasn't late to the Gathering. Unbelievably - he was the first. The surprise came to him with a numb shock, looking around briefly when he entered into the clearing. He wasn't .. sure how to feel. His stomach was churning, his cheek still burning but there were no marks. No one besides those who were there would be none the wiser.

Cowpaw took in everyone's faces. He's seen them before in passing time. The memory never .. it never stuck. He wasn't sure why. Just why he couldn't fathom the reason he would wander in his sleep. Starclan must have the answers but the stars were quiet. As if they were tuning him out. Cowpaw pondered if he had done something wrong but, perhaps this was simply a test.

With a quiet sigh, the gentle giant made his way where they typically sat. Ah, he hoped he wasn't failing.. These thoughts continued to churn.

**Elmshadow**
Medicine Cat of Shadowclan

The tailless tom stalked into the sandy beach. He'd been slightly slower to leave camp than was normal though he wondered when normal changed. Since becoming medicine cat he felt he was getting later to gatherings than he had as a warrior. Life had been simple as a warrior: do as your told, protect your clan. As medicine at his life hadn't seemed to slow, from being thrown into the position with no mentor and doing what he could to learn everything he could and now recently he'd had less opportunity to seek out knowledge but so much more in implementing what he'd already learned. Whether learning or practicing, the work hadn't ceased.

He moved silently through the gathered crowd of cats. By the time he walked over the sands it appeared all of the leaders were there and the deputies besides Copperfire. All the more interesting as his emerald eyes were pulled to a mild disruption in the form of a couple of Thunderclan kits making an appearance. Sparrowstar seemed to handle it herself though her choice in allowing the kits to stay struck him as very...Thunderclan.

A couple apprentices from Thunderclan and Windclan were getting a little too close but neither was from Shadowclan so Elmshadow didn't even bother turning in their direction. What the other clans let slip amongst themselves was of no concern to him. He made his way to the medicine cat area. He didn't love the prospect of mingling with the other medicine cats though it seemed he'd put off enough of a cold front that the medicine cats from the other clans seemed to leave him mostly alone. It irked him that the medicine cat rank seemed to attract the weak and feeble of the clans but, in true Shadowclan fashion, his clan defied those stereotypes with two trained warriors as medicine cats. Regardless, he had little interest in exchanging small talk with any cats from other clans. Cowpaw was already sitting there but he seemed to be the only to have arrived so far. Elmshadow blinked expressionlessly at the tom and took a silent seat a tail length from Cowpaw, turning to look out over the gathering.

So many were arriving for the kits that Roanpaw couldn't help but think if they had this much dedication in camp, then maybe the kits wouldn't have been able to sneak out. Internally, he chuckled at his own thoughts but on the outside his expression was unchanging and unwavering. This newcomer glared at him - to which Roanpaw responded with an emotionless stare - and the angry apprentice started to heard them away. Well. That was no fun.

He made no effort to follow them and instead just watched. His green gaze bore into Cinderpaw's back, memorizing every detail of her pelt, every tuft of fur... saving it away for later. Only after he had stared long enough to commit her to memory did he look away. He'd be seeing her later.

One of the kits of the bunch seemed rather curious by him, apparent in her round eyes. Once his gaze left Cinderpaw it traveled to... Honeykit, was her name? Hmm. Roanpaw stared at her, unblinking. She was very small, too young to be out here for too long - that much was obvious. Then, another sinister grin as he clicked his tongue to get her attention. "Away." One more for good measure.

Then, because there were too many ThunderClan cats in the area for his liking, the brown and cream apprentice rose to his paws and slunk off towards the back of the crowd. He was ready to go home, but knew that his grandmother would highly disapprove of him simply leaving. So instead he sought out a familiar pelt in the crowd. Family? That was his sister mentor, wasn't it? Roanpaw took a seat next to Vixensnarl, turning his unblinking, owlish green eyes up at her. "Away." And with that, he turned to look back to where his grandmother was sitting.

Vixensnarl watched as RiverClan and WindClan arrived through slitted eyes, her tail slowly brushing across the ground behind her. There was nothing she cared about going on, and she had half a mind to just go back to camp, but that wouldn't be appropriate.

The brown tabby's head turned as her creep of a nephew approached and spoke a single word. And honestly? She felt that. "Same," she said with a soft snort.

The small mottled she-cat trotted into the clearing licking her lips as she smiled seemingly inexplicably. There was an exciting buzz in the air that she couldn't quite explain. Whenever she got in her spontaneous good moods she just figured the opportunity for blood was close on the horizons. Sometimes it came to fruition, other times not but she refused to let go of the superstition, it helped boost her positive moods even more. She took a seat within view of Elmshadow, pointedly putting herself in his line of sight as well as she watched him unabashedly.


**Sunsetthorn & Branchfire of Shadowclan**
[OPEN]

Branchfire kept pace with Sunsetthorn as the two followed Dawnstar through the forest and slipped out of the shadows out onto the cold, breezy beach. Sunsetthorn had been silent the entire trek, leaving Branchfire quiet and within his own thoughts but he refused to move away from her. It was her first gathering as a warrior but she didn't share the same excitement as most new warriors; she'd had a similar reaction at her warrior ceremony as well. She was given her warrior name later than most apprentices traditionally were and Branchfire was sure that had taken some of the joy from the occasion but she'd worked hard for it and had gone through a lot, especially through her entire, extended apprenticeship. If any cats were to be expected to be made a warrior late then she had the greatest excuse of them all.

He took the lead as they stepped onto the sand and led her to a semi-secluded spot along the outside of the mingling clans. As Sunsetthorn sat down, wrapping her feathered tail neatly around her paws, fluffing up her thick fur against the chill, Branchfire sat down beside her. She was keeping her chin up and her blue eyes locked on the four leaders atop the stone but something about her blank stare told him she wasn't truly paying attention to the leaders' movements.

The young black and white tom trotted easily among the crowd of his joining clan. He hadn't done as much recently with his apprentice as he would've liked but he also hadn't seen much of Juniperpaw in the past couple days. He knew he'd have to get back on that but Petal seemed to be occupying so much of his thoughts recently he was finding it difficult to focus. Since the time gap between the first time he'd met her to the second, this was the longest he'd not found any trace of her and he was left wondering if she'd moved on with her companions or maybe she was avoiding him. Though in that scenario he figured he would've found some sign of her. So he was left with the worry that he may never see her again, and what could he do about it if that turned out to be the case? He sat down among his clanmates, trying to focus on bringing his mind back to the present.

The tabby paused for a moment, "hm, not quite, but you did seem upset." he meowed with a little nod, Fennelcall let his shoulders relax as he began to settle into his conversation. Fennelcall's attention shifted for a moment to the.. kits? in the gathering, he wanted to go over and assist but he noticed that there were already plenty of cats there, including Sparrowstar and the kittens mother, but when the Thunderclan cat began talking again his gaze returned to him.

"Oh?" he asked gently, "May I ask why?" he knew that the two had only just met but Fennelcall had mental health problems in the past, and so of course he had sympathy for the Thunderclan tom. It had been a bad place for himself, and honestly he had only just managed to get through it, what he needed at the time was someone willing to listen, so that is what he would do, listen if they wanted to talk.



Thrushfur
His eyes followed the tabby's eyes toward where the kits were. He blinked already finding the situation to be settled smoothly as he went back to dive into the conversation. One of his ears rotated as he looked down. Raising his head to look more confident and content as his ears spun forward to being more loosened up. He looked down with a hint of embarrassment. He flapped his tail before he went on. "Well.. it's a tad bit complicated. More so family problems." He murmured.

His eyes flashed before he was struck with realization of the previous gathering. Yeah.. family problems. And before that there were more family he had dealt with. He didn't believe that those problems were finished yet. Those problems were more likely cooled down, but their presence was still there. He shuffled his paws softly. "And someone just perhaps decided to be blunt about their origins last gathering." He groaned, as he heaved a sigh. His eyes traveled along the ground, as he searched around if the cat were to come to the gathering once more. He dearly hoped that they wouldn't come here and immediately ruin the steady atmosphere.

Blue-eyes paddled over and sat upwards to sign 'i hear your an enforcer? that sounds like a mightly rank, but then Shadowclan does like to be Proud and Mighty no? Name's Blue-eye's by the way! hows life been treating you?' he signed with his front paws, hoping the she-cat would understand his gestures, he could comunicate by tapping if needed though he perfered not to since it made his claws sore...

**Cougarivy of Shadowclan**

Her sharp blue eyes were pulled away from Elmshadow as the wafting scent of fish met her senses. Her nose crinkled slightly as she turned her black and white head to look at the much larger tom sitting down facing her. Her head cocked and smile formed over her lips, only broadening as the Riverclanner began making odd gestures and unnatural movements with his front paws. She giggled, "You're a funny cat, hm? What's the matter? Riverclan doesn't teach their kits how to speak to strangers?" She flicked her tongue out to lick her lip as her eyes sparkled watching the silly gestures. She had seen her apprentice's brother make similar gestures and was aware Centipedepaw made the gestures as he was deaf but had never much cared to decipher what he was trying to communicate. Luckily in Centipedepaw's case, Hornetpaw was generally around to translate everything. In the case of this Riverclanner, Cougarivy had that much less desire to figure out the tom's intentions.

Shatteredsun nodded.
"Well, good luck through your apprenticeship. If it was anything like mine, it should provide quite a challenge. Now if you don't mind, I must be joining my clanmates now."
And with that, the gold and black tom turned to leave.

Coldsong's blue eyes rounded on the figure approaching him, ears perked with interest. "Oh, uh, hey-" He replied, struggling to pick his words. Come on, focus...she's just another cat. The white tom couldn't help but smile as she introduced herself. Firelight, eh? His whiskers twitched. It humored him how their names were opposites of each other, but he tried hard not to crack a stupid joke like that. "My name's Coldsong. I'm from WindClan." His chest puffed with pride as he introduced himself, relieved to be calling himself a WindClanner again. He cocked his head at her. "So, uh...what Clan are you from..?"



"RiverClan," Firelight responded. Coldsong hadn't shown any signs of wanting to leave the conversation, so she decided to continue. "I like your name. One of the suffixes I hoped for as an apprentice was song."

Dappledpaw

The tortoiseshell apprentice made sure to stay with her clan this gathering... She didn't want to get in trouble, especially after last time and since Beastgrowl got exiled. She found a quiet spot towards the edge. She was empty inside, with the loss of Nightpaw she was upset. Dappledpaw wished she had stayed in the apprentice's den, but she chose to come to the gathering instead.

As the black and white warrior came into the clearing, she held her tail high and walked confidently. Slatefur weaved her way through the other clan cats, and chose to sit closer to the leaders than she usually did.

Stoneheart followed his fellow WindClanners, into the gathering. He sat somewhat in the center of the throng of cats, after realizing that WindClan was the last to arrive.
Strange.
He didn't pay much attention to the cats around him. Instead, the grey warrior busied himself by cleaning his paws from the journey there. Stoneheart preferred to keep himself tidy, so he was glad he wasn't a ShadowClan cat. With such marshy territory, it seemed almost impossible not to get dirty.

~WOLFFANG OF WINDCLAN~

It had been a long time since Wolffang had gone to a Gathering.

The large, muscular tom padded onto the beach. The moon-washed sand shifted beneath his paws, reminding him of the sandy floor of the WindClan camp, but that was the only similarity. It smelled of salt here, but even that was drowned out by the strong, pungent scents of all four Clans. WindClan’s scent was warm and familiar: RiverClan’s was fishy and disgusting; ShadowClan’s was marshy and revolting; and ThunderClan’s was foresty and strange. His nostrils flaring, Wolffang padded farther onto the shore and shot a glance at the Seastones. He’d heard of some rank changes, and he saw them quickly. A tan she-cat with a brown tail and paws and a cream-colored face was the first one he spotted. He didn’t recognize her, but he did know the other - a tall dark gray tom with a light gray neck and only one eye. He had been Snowleap, but everyone had told him that the RiverClan cat was now Pikestar. Wolffang thought changing the prefix for ceremonies was a bit strange, but who was he to judge? Anyway, if that was Pikestar, the tricolored she-cat must be Sparrowstar, ThunderClan’s new leader. ThunderClan’s leaders seem to be dropping like flies, he thought. He didn’t care much for the affairs of the other Clans unless it directly involved WindClan, but the way ThunderClan had been floundering left a bit of a foul taste in his mouth. But they didn’t look so floundering now. Time will be the judge of that.

Wolffang’s gaze drifted away from the leaders and went to the base of the rock, where the deputies and medicine cats on opposite sides. Fallownose was there, as was a ginger tabby tom he didn’t recognize. The other two deputy spots were empty. Had they not arrived, or were two of the Clans lacking in second-in-commands? He remembered the times WindClan had shown up to Gatherings without deputies, and it made his pelt prickle. As for the medicine cats, Cowpaw was there. He inwardly wondered when the huge spotted tom would get his name. And there was a gray-and-black cat there, too… Wolffang frowned at him. He appeared to be ShadowClan, and was familiar, too. Had the Clan been forced to choose another warrior to become a medicine cat? And I swear I should recognize him… A moment later, he did. Elmshadow. Wolffang’s bright yellow eyes narrowed. I wonder if any other medicine cats changed. None of the others were here yet.

The dappled gray warrior padded into the crowd and looked around. Had Twilightstar reported his death at… not the last Gathering, but a Gathering four or five moons ago. Thinking of that made his pads prick with discomfort. Pushing the feeling away, he sat, wrapping his tail around himself. It was odd, how he couldn’t wrap it around his paws anymore due to missing his tail. Wolffang gave his smooth fur a few quick licks, hoping to make it look more presentable and perhaps make the bite marks marring his body a little less noticeable. He wasn’t one to hide from his scars, but for some reason it felt a little… awkward. Not many cats were risen from the dead. But would they even know?

Frostpaw of ShadowClan | she/her [switching this to Frost to get her post requirements out of the way]

She was among the last of the ShadowClan cats to arrive, it seemed. Well, not that she necessarily minded. She was completely fine with being fashionably late. Padding to a seemingly open space in the quickly filled clearing, she plonked her butt down right next to what seemed to be a RiverClan apprentice, "Sorry if someone was already sitting here, I guess, but this is my spot now" she hummed, examining her claws. The seal-point didnt expect a conversation at all; hell, she would probably prefer if the other cat stayed silent. She didnt come her to talk to the other clans, after all.


☄. *. ⋆ Cicadapaw

The brown apprentice jumped slightly when a cat joined their side, they shook their head and lifted their paws, "No one was there, but what is your name? Mine is Cicadapaw!" The cat next to them smelt like ShadowClan but that was all the could get from the cat. Their hazel eyes studied the apprentice next to them a they awaited a response.
