[Undertaker]

The leader yawned loudly as she cut through the territory and made her way toward the beach. Clouds hung heavy in the sky, but the moon remained high and untouched by the fluffy cotton balls that slowly moved in time with the wind. A brisk chilly breeze greeted the giant she-cat as her paws left large imprints along the sand in the empty breach.

ShadowClan first arrived. Oddly enough, she often arrived first during this moon. Dawnstar hadn't a clue why and didn't really care. The leader was still a tad hungover from the recent fight with ThunderClan, fresh scars marred her strong physique and those who stared long enough might even notice the minuscule limp in the proud she-cat's gait.

The Queen of Mean quickly made her way to the cluster of stones and leaped, getting comfortable on the leaders' perch. She coiled her sore tail around her immense paws and stared down at her clan with piercing golden-amber eyes. Aside from dealing with potential ThunderClan nonsense, Dawnstar truly wondered if RiverClan was going to arrive this moon. It's been two moons and ShadowClan has heard little to nothing on them. Curious, she might have to start asking actual questions if they didn't show up.
ShadowClan's Arrived

[dino.]

Ignoring the aching of her injuries, Bumblestar stepped onto the sand and let her claws drag through the grains as she walked. ShadowClan was already here. She felt a fresh wave of frustration surge through her veins. "If anyone ticks me off tonight, I'm kickin' you out on the spot," she snapped over her shoulder. "Don't give me a reason to."

She turned sharply away from the group to claim her spot on the stones like every time before. Her wounds were still very much obvious, but she hid any sign of the hurt behind a blank mask as she loafed down next to Dawnstar.

ThunderClan has arrived.

"You cudn't kick me if ya tried!" Goatscrunch snorted loudly as he hobbled with the ThunderClan crew. "Them stubby thangs you call legs ain't got reach, kid."

Shadefrost and SilverLightning made their way onto the sacred sandy grounds, both expecting something interesting and exciting to occur here tonight.

(Both Open)

[Undertaker]

Dawnstar's ears perked as ThunderClan made their way to the gathering before the others. Bumblebrat made her way up and took a seat beside her without causing a fuss. It wasn't hard to tell she was frustrated, and that was funny, but Dawnstar wasn't interested in the headache of antagonizing the she-cat. Besides, Dawnstar didn't like gloating unless pester first. She often only bit harder when bitten first and Bumblebrat was quiet so...

"I'm tired and not interested in making a commotion about this, Bumblestar. One of your apprentices, tufted ears, silver pelt, big paws, and an incredibly cocky attitude, took one of my apprentices, Lynxpaw, after the battle. I need him back, is he in your clan?" Dawnstar asked, fighting off another yawn.

She truly didn't think Bumblebrat was stupid enough to take a ShadowClan apprentice hostage after what ThunderClan had just gone through. However, Bumblebrat has done stupider things, but this would be extremely stupid and low... although she did protect a medicine cat murderer. Bumblebrat wouldn't be petty enough to steal an apprentice after a loss, right? Right? Even though she would, Dawstar wasn't really looking forward to raiding ThunderClan for one apprentice. It was getting colder and herbs would soon be depleting. She had an upcoming leafbare to battle with, and she really didn't need any more dead or injured clanmates at the moment.

Sunleap followed Bumblestar to the gathering.

[dino.]

Goatscrunch made Bumblestar's pelt immediately fluff up, and she opened her mouth to shoot back with a nasty remark, but Dawnstar's question (thankfully) cut her off. She shot the larger she-cat a look, then let her eyes close as she sighed harshly.

"Ghostpaw," she muttered. "I don't know a thing about taking one of your apprentices, 'cause I sure didn't order it. Not interested in taking hostages, 'specially over a piece of land. Lynxpaw's not been in my camp. Sorry 'bout the trouble - I'll find him, send him back your way, 'n deal with the idiot."

Normally she wouldn't ever bring herself to apologize, but right now she was just too exhausted to even care about saving face.

[iliri]

Everything hurts. Everything was sore. Following close behind came a staggering medicine cat apprentice. Springpaw’s hind leg occasionally hobbled as she trudged her way towards the stones, her wounds closed to a point where they just showed gnarly scarring. The right half of her face was marred, and the eye there looked to be a little bit more blurry. She could still see, but the eyesight with that eye was just weaker than the other. Her small body practically felt vulnerable around the large commotion of ShadowClan warriors, her eyes frantically scanning the clearing to search for any signs of that… tom-cat from before that tried to murder her at the battle. A pained exhale blew through her clenched teeth, the sight of frost eliminating from her exhale of breath.

That was another thing; she couldn’t speak. She couldn’t utter a single word without feeling her throat gargling and gurgling as if she had decided to swallow down mouthfuls of sand. The only thing prominent along her neck was a nasty scar, easily noticeable for question if wanted. Springpaw had debated coming to this gathering. She wondered if she could’ve just stayed back at camp and continued to try to recover more against the freakish injury. But, she knew that she couldn’t do that. She had to follow protocols now, didn’t she? All she could sincerely hope was that she couldn’t sit there and look like a fool if someone tried to ask her a question. How was she espoused to gesture signs to them? She knew nothing about sign language! Maybe Cowtuft could help with this? That is, if the tom-cat would agree. Hell, she even promised to Bumblestar that she would try to ask them if they knew about behind Squirrel… whatever’s death! How was she supposed to do that now when her vocal cords are no longer in proper function? Oh well. She supposed she’ll find out at some succinct point at this gathering

Rushingpaw made his way into the sandy clearing, following behind the mass of ShadowClan cats. His eyes were wide as the moon, taking in every possible cat, rock, plant, grain of sand around him. This was his very first gathering! His pelt was prickling with excitement. An overly cocky smile rested on his maw as he strolled in with a confident gait to his step. The scent was overwhelming - he had hardly smelled any of the clans before, and his eyes watered slightly at the strong earthy, sappy stink of the ThunderClan cats that shuffled into the Seastones clearing.

"BLEGH," He couldn't help but dramatically gag, eyes narrowed and nose scrunched up as he hesitantly made his way to sit somewhere. Ew!! They stunk!!

The tripod was walking (hopping?) behind the rest of the cats, that was until his lips peeled back in a snarl at the stench of the squirrels approaching. Those damn squirrels, did they really think that everything would be all Sunshine and Rainbows after what happened? To hell with them! Shadowclan lost half a dozen cats to their bloodthirsty asses.

He padded behind the rest of the clan, as they arrived, he sat down in a corner before soon smelling the scent of the ThunderClan, he couldn't retain a slight growl at their sight, but quickly calmed himself...

SHADEFROST
Agatha Kitty|Active, Mind Reader|Active, Silver Tongue|Active

Shadefrost carefully selected a seat closer to the front of the gathering this time, a strategic move to ensure he wouldn't miss a single moment of tonight's anticipated events. The recent major battle had set the stage for heightened drama and tension this time around, a prospect that excited him. He yearned for a reason to unleash his pent-up aggression, and he knew the usual intruding loner wouldn't suffice this time. Dang it, that battle must've really stirred his warmongering instincts, because he could not shut them down. Oh well, he'd just slip away after the gathering and murder the first cat he encountered. Anyway, amidst these contemplations, an unexpected twist unfolded. Shadefrost's icy sapphire orbs widened in disbelief as a calico figure stepped into view and took her seat. His heart skipped a beat or maybe two momentarily as a rush of despair threatened to overwhelm him. Wait, really?! He hadn't managed to kill the weakling, how disappointing. He could almost hear that side of him that always pushed him to be the best worst version of himself that he could be saying, "And you're supposed to be the greatest warrior Shadowclan has to offer? What a joke."Of course he was probably being too hard on himself or something, but can you blame him? He spent who knew how long trying to hunt that little brat down without getting killed himself or badly injured, which was just a little harder than usual, and when he finally got his chance he could't even tell how poorly he did on his job until after it was done. How heart crushing! How annoying! How stupid! And yet, Shade couldn't help but smile with delight as he stared at Springpaw. This cat had just suffered a neck wound that, by all means, should have left her in a bad condition for quite a while. And here she was, toughing it out like a champ. SOOOOO COOOOOL!!! NOW HE JUST HAD TO SEE WHAT HER MOTHER WAS CAPABLE OF!!! Hmm, perhaps it would be best to schedule a place for them to meet so they could have that battle to the death that they never got to finish? Oh well, guess he might as well ask right? "Hey" whispered the tom just loud enough for Springpaw to hear him without being overly disturbing to anyone else, "Hey, medicine cat apprentice, could you ask your mother to meet me at the border? I'd really like to have a chat with her. Pretty please?"

(Shade finding out he failed at his mission.)

Feathernose padded over to the duo. Somehow she felt the tom was the one who injured their medicine cat apprentice so badly. Just to keep Springpaw safe, she strategically sat down, blocking Shadefrost's view of Spring. "And remember what a bad warrior you are. Couldn't even defeat an apprentice (Ghostpaw) in a little skirmish. Remember, from moons ago? Yeah, thought you might have wanted to reminisce that lovely day, don't we all?" She grinned, the scar across her face rippling.

The ThunderClan warrior turned to Springpaw, mirth glinting in her eyes. She was careful to not show any sympathy, the tough apprentice might not like it. But if Spring needed, Feathernose would shield her from any ShadowClanner fantasizing on murdering her precious medicine cat 'paw, or anyone in relation to her.

Rushingpaw made his way into the sandy clearing, following behind the mass of ShadowClan cats. His eyes were wide as the moon, taking in every possible cat, rock, plant, grain of sand around him. This was his very first gathering! His pelt was prickling with excitement. An overly cocky smile rested on his maw as he strolled in with a confident gait to his step. The scent was overwhelming - he had hardly smelled any of the clans before, and his eyes watered slightly at the strong earthy, sappy stink of the ThunderClan cats that shuffled into the Seastones clearing.

"BLEGH," He couldn't help but dramatically gag, eyes narrowed and nose scrunched up as he hesitantly made his way to sit somewhere. Ew!! They stunk!!

Appledusk was relaxing in a small pool of moonlight as she saw an apprentice walk in with a really dramatic gagged. She walked up to the apprentice and purposely knocked into the apprentice getting her scent on him. "Oh sorry!" she meowed mockingly.

Apprentices these days are always so dramatic and such. She laughed quietly to herself.

[Saki]

FallenHeart sat down, her eyes gazed at the Shadowclan cats. She didn't understand why they were fighting with each other! They were all cats under the same trees, weren't they?

If Rushingpaw wasn't as big as he was, this warriors "accidental" nudge might have sent him tumbling into some other poor feline. It appeared that no matter how hard he tried to grasp the ground, it simply melted through his paws. Instead, the young apprentice faltered - off balance by the new unsteady terrain - and toppled on his left side with a dull thud. Green eyes lit up with anger, immediately training on the brown and white feline's frame. Rushing scrambled for a moment, trying to bring himself back up on his paws, where he turned quite sharply to face her.

"What was that for?!" He spat though narrowed eyes, seeming almost hurt that some random cat had done that to him.

"Did what?" she asked sarcastically her eyes watching the apprentice closely keeping in a laugh when the apprentice fell over and got back up again."Oh no need to be so rude its a gathering remember?" she asked narrowing her eyes at the apprentice watching him very carefully.

Tansyjaw had decided to attend this gathering, settling down as a massive furry mountain in the center of the crowd. She kept her head high, and eyes trained quite willfully on Dawnstar and Bumblestar. Starclan knew she didn't want to go catching the eye of the wrong Shadowclanner. (OPEN)

[Pitou]

**Elmshadow**
Medicine Cat of Shadowclan

The dark tom moved out onto the sandy beach behind Dawnstar, intermingled with his other clanmates. Quickly behind Shadowclan, Thunderclan's scent joined the salty air, but otherwise they seemed to be the first to arrive. He padded confidently to the place he'd grown accustomed to meeting the rest of the medicine cats in and was surprised to see Springpaw had already made her way to the spot. He sat down nearby, his green eyes lingering a moment, taking in the young medic's rather extensive wounds. He hadn't seen much that had happened in her regard but he could only assume it had been from the battle. It wasn't common to be seeing a medicine cat sustaining such injuries following any sort of battle, but then Ivysnake's image came to mind. He wasn't sure it was fair to hold the young apprentice's life at stake for the actions of Bumblestar and Spiderfang but he couldn't say he found anything particularly redeeming about her either. In the end, he realized speculation was a useless waste of time as what had happened happened and he couldn't truly care less. He turned his gaze forward but then Dawnstar and Bumblestar's demeanor's locked in a short conversation caught his attention so he turned his green eyes on them to watch.

[Pitou]

**Cougarivy of Shadowclan**
eris Levi 99 GhostlyStarfinder

The black and white enforcer commander padded joltingly beside her mate as they made their way into the gathering. Her head swiveled as she looked over her fellow attending Shadowclanners, since there wasn't much else to see being the first clan to arrive until Elmshadow made his way up to the other medicine cats. A small grin split her features upon seeing Springpaw. She had gotten locked in a battle herself and hadn't made it to the bratty little medic but it seemed that somebody had. It was a little bittersweet since she'd wanted to taste it for herself, would a medicine cat's blood taste the same as any other or would there be a herby quality to it? She licked her lips at the thought. And whoever had done it clearly hadn't finished the job. But it was nice to see that she hadn't skipped out of the battle unscathed. Her head tilted as she saw Shadefrost approach the pair of medicine cats. Her head tilted curiously but she didn't question much, other than she was sure the tom was doing nothing if not stirring the pot. She should probably put her paw in but she kind of wanted to see if it progressed, problems were so much more fun to mediate once they'd become at least a bit of a spectacle. But then some Thunderclanner came up and started spitting some sort of sickly sweet venom. Cougarivy rolled her eyes and stepped up to the newcomer. "Why don't you keep moving, squirrel? As much as I'd love to play, we wouldn't wanna traumatize your dear little medicine cat, would we? So no picking fun at a gathering, it's just a tease."


**Risingpaw of Shadowclan**
[OPEN]

The gray and white apprentice, finally grown into the proper age for apprenticeship but with the size to match the training she'd received, pranced happily into the gathering. It was her second(?) and the last one had been so entertaining, she had no reason to believe and every reason to hope that this one would be just as much so. She found a spot in the very middle and waited oh so impatiently, her tail flicking and her paws shifting.

[Omari]

Drizzlecloud
Thunderclan
She/her

The blue-gray furred spotted tabby followed her apprentice closely, eyes not wavering from her frail figure for even a moment. She knew that there were no risks here–especially not while sitting with the other medicine cats, but she couldn't help it.

Speeding up her pace ever so slightly so that she could walk at Springpaw's side, pausing when they eventually reached the usual meeting point with the other healers. "Do you need help getting up? Lean on me, kiddo."

Her gaze drifted elsewhere when she heard a voice that she hadn't heard before, eyes narrowing at a Shadowclan tom who had been whispering to her apprentice–and due to the close proximity to her, Drizzlecloud could hear him very well. Narrowing her eyes at him, she lashed her tail behind her, curling it over Springpaw's lower back.

"Don't." Was all she hissed in response to the tom, a sharp warning. Context clues alone, she could probably assume that this cat was the perpetrator of her apprentice's wounds, right? She wasn't sure if she even wanted to ask. Either way, she didn't want him talking to her.

Her gaze shifted to Feathernose, offering her a grateful smile. A wordless thank you escaped her, taking on the form of a quiet purr.

[ eris Levi 99 GhostlyStarfinder ]

[Undertaker]

A silent sigh slipped from Dawnstar's mouth as Bumblebrat gave her the information she wanted without any tail pulling needing to occur. The apology was unexpected but accepted with a small grunt of acknowledgment. She didn't get the feeling the other leader was lying to her and honestly was just glad that they didn't need to waste breath growling back and forth for once.

Her golden glare swung towards the group of medicine cats as one of them came with extensive injuries. Oh? Maybe Dawnstar didn't need Springpaw dead after all. Those wounds look like they'd be hell to live with for a medicine cat. Of course, Shadefrost had to come over and stir up trouble. This is why Dawnstar could never see the warrior among her elite, he just didn't know when enough was enough.

Dawnstar. Was. TIRED. She did not want to deal with unnecessary drama because her clanmates had brains the size of mousedung. The ShadowClan leader shot a seething glare at both her commander and warrior as the two played with the rodents below. They'd have to be exceptionally foolish not to feel the fiery heat of her gaze burning holes into their soul. Not tonight. They could snap back if ThunderClan started it, but Dawnstar was absolutely not tolerating ShadowClan's tomfoolery tonight.

Darkcloud

Oh well drama had started already, almost as soon Darkcloud had entered the clearing a commotion caught her eye hmm it seemed to be mostly between the Thunderclan medicine cats as well as another Thunderclanner and Shadefrost and Cougarivy...it also seemed Dawnstar had noticed...oh well she wouldn't get involved she'd probably just make it worst.

Trying to ignore the scene the dark she-cat stalked away towards the far end of the clearing were she usally sat where she did her routine of sitting down curling her tail neatly around her paws and straightening herself coldness in her amber gaze as she hoped no one would try an speak to her.

[Estelle]

Here they were. A gathering. Yay.
Gingerstar (ew he still wasn't used to that) never liked these things. He's supposed to be sleeping at this time, not hold idle chit chat withs cats that hardly liked him and he hardly cared to interact with. But alas, so be it. Turning towards the clan as they arrived, he mumbled a quick few - stern - words to them.
"Behave tonight. We don't need any more issues."

Well, they were sure to get them. He could already feel Bumblestar wouldn't be thrilled to hear about ThunderClan walking on RiverClan land; whether it be for the accusation and whatever else. She seemed like the short-tempered type, you know? He didn't really feel like interacting with any of them, though.

Well it wasn't long before they were there. He almost walked up to where the deputies sat, perhaps out of habit, but stopped himself before he could. He's meant to lead this clan now, he had to remind himself. So turning tail it was towards the correct spot, bunching up his legs to take the leap up.

Lo and behold, Bumblestar and Dawnstar were already there, as had already been evident by the chit-chatter and scent. Dawnstar looked disgruntled as always, and Bumblestar... He didn't care to take note of. He offered both leader a respectful nod, as his mentor had taught him everyone deserved respect, before taking a seat.

It seemed something was going on, that was sure, he just didn't care what. Now what he did care about was making sure ThunderClan - Bumblestar - was aware of the trespassing that'd been found. Announce it publicly or tell her now? That was the question, which would be wiser?

"...You might be interested in knowing ThunderClan scent was found well across the border recently."
He opted for the second option, nonchalantly glancing the leader's way as he uttered the words quietly. Since he wasn't one for small talk, might as well say that. All he had to do after was wait until she either responded with diplomacy or exploded -- either way he didn't want to make a big deal out of it unless he needed to.

RiverClan Has Arrived.

[Omari]

Dapplewing
Riverclan
He/him

Dapplewing had finally dragged himself out of his semi-depressive state, assuming that attending this gathering would provide his mind with some sort of distraction. The chaos within the clan had been a lot to handle, especially with his mother's disappearance not too long ago. It was no surprise that he wasn't handling it very well, but he didn't know how else to take it other than to.. Distract himself, as best as he could.

[ Open for interactions ]

[silver.]

Oh boy. Here we go. First Gathering ever. And appearing as Riverclan's medicine cat apprentice no less.

She sticks close behind the tom as her clan makes their way onto the sand, rounded ears perked and tail sticking straight up. Of course she wasn't going to trail him-- he probably had leader things to do! Never having been to one of these things before she uh... She has no idea where to go. No idea where she was to stand or sit or who she was supposed to talk to. Completely and totally clueless. Her social anxiety? Through the treetops right now. Taking in a deep breath, she raises her maw to scent the air... Picking through the new scents was hard. So many she had never even smelled before! But amongst that was the familiar smell of herbs and moss and when she turns her head she notices a trio seated together.

Was she... Supposed to go over there? Was she supposed to sit with them or wait to be invited? Ahh, this was too nerve-wracking! Anxiously she trots over to the group, tense and obviously nervous, stuttering out a greeting once approaching.

"H-Hello!" She chirps, a little too loudly. "Is this where the medicine cats go? I'm Tansypaw. Riverclan's n-new medicine cat apprentice."

Was she going to say this was her first Gathering? Why would she when it was already so painfully obvious? Ugh! What a pathetic first impression! If she could get that stupid stutter under control she wouldn't look so stupid.

Swampstream of Shadowclan arrived. He looked for some elders to talk to, or maybe some apprentices to tell some stories to.

[OPEN FOR ELDERS + APPRENTICES]

Sleekfur trotted after Gingerfrost, noticing his leader's slight reluctance to go up to the other leaders. He looked around for Cherryswirl, wanting to make sure she was alright. Although he wouldn't mind some smalltalk with other cats.

Another moon, another Gathering. At least the last one wasn't a total disaster. As they make their way through the sand, they move in silence, trying their best not to bump into anyone. The last thing he needed was to cause some kind of commotion. He would die of embarrassment and then be promptly mauled by Dawnstar for bringing shame to Shadowclan. As if he already hasn't. Finding a nice space to settle into, the warrior carefully takes a seat, ears alert and flicking as they listen for ongoing conversations.

Spooky Galaxy

This seemed to get properly under the apprentices pelt - his hackles raised and fur fluffing out to almost twice his size as his tail lashed wildly and with reckless abandon for anyone seated nearby. His lips curled slightly as he responded, though there was more exasperation in his voice than anything,

"Rude?!" He stared in angry disbelief, "You pushed me! How was I rude?!" Did these ThunderClanners have some backwards sense of manners?! Sure, Rushingpaw didn't really... display many good manners usually but this was just a given! The black-furred apprentice almost wailed the next part, "And you got your stink all over me!" At this point, Rushing began to aggressively lick his shoulder and side, biting in disgust as sand crunched between his teeth. Eeeeewwww!!!

"Aren't you elders supposed to be wise and friendly?" He snapped at her, though there was a venom to his tone as he directly mis-ranked what was obviously an older apprentice or younger warrior. A snide grin twitched on his lips as he awaited her reply.

[ spooky sleek. - Sleekfur Mention | spookywynds - Snowecho ]

To be quite honest, Cherryswirl had been trying with every bone in her body to run circles around Sleekfur. After their recent encounter with those scrawny bare-bone excuses for foxes - which she was still completely stunned that she had failed to catch their scent - the scene of violence from the other feline had... struck her to the core. It felt unreal, almost impossible for that much damage to be done, even if they were nothing but bags of skin and bones. External damage their pelts? Their faces? Well, yeah to be expected. Cherryswirl knew her claws were sharp from moons of delicate care and sharpening against the rocks in the river... but for... parts to be that strewn about? A silent shiver wracked her body as she caught sight of the familiar tom-cat a few good tail-lengths ahead of her. So, with slight embarrassment, the ginger warrior ducked her head and slunk into a larger portion of the crowd to keep out of his view. All she needed was some time to process... right? The other would understand? Certainly. She wasn't a fox, after all, so there really was nothing to be worried about. As Cherryswirl seemed lost in her thoughts, ginger paws carried her further into the crowd. Golden eyes seemed to refocus at just the right time as she nearly barreled into a... hey wait! A familiar pelt!

"Well, I'll be damned," The warrior breathed softly, golden orbs lighting up in relief as a smile played on her features, "Glad to see you're still alive!" As it turned out, she was addressing Snowecho - a cat she had not so long ago rescued from the river. She... She couldn't remember their name. But she recalled that he was a ShadowClan cat! Cherryswirl took a quick seat beside the other, leaning over so her fur was barely touching the others. "How are you feeling? That was quite a dangerous swim, wasn't it?" Though there was a touch of humour to her voice, Cherry seemed genuine in her concern.

The presence is so sudden. Was he eavesdropping on a nearby pair? Maybe. When Cherryswirl announces her arrival he can't help but jolt in surprise, their head swiveling to offer a wide-eyed stare. And then she sits close. So close! Too close?! Blinking a few times as they process, he can feel his pelt burn with embarrassment as he acknowledges the feeling of her fur against his. The only other cat that had dared to get close enough to him as of late was his dear apprentice. His only friend. So to say it caught them off guard was an understatement. Nervously he turns his gaze away to stare at his paws, swallowing hard as he mentally prepares to speak.

"Still alive... Yes, I suppose I am..." What a shame. "Physically I've recovered... Mentally, ah, um... Not so much."

Nearly drowning was sure an experience. To say that he wasn't scarred by it was definitely a lie. But thanks to this lovely very nice she-cat he lives another day...

[Sleek]

Sleekfur continued to search for Cherryswirl, anxious. He was certain she had come with, he had seen her! Maybe someone-or something- took her? He searched and searched, unable to find her, until-finally! He saw her. He started trotting up towards her, beaming, excited to start conversing once more, when-oh? She...she turned around, deliberately avoiding him. Sleekfur's smile dropped and he furrowed his brows. His mouth gaped open, shocked and confused. And hurt. Very, very, hurt. Did she...really not want to be his friend? He should've known. Nobody stayed his friend for long. Sleekfur took in a shaky breath, eyes welling up. He dropped his head and his tail drooped as he dragged himself to the edge of the crowd, laying down alone and burrowing his head into the dirt. He put his paws over his head as he sobbed softly, body shaking from each tear.

Bumblestar's attention flickered down to the cats speaking to Springpaw. Internally she cursed herself - should've told the apprentice to stay home for the time being, but there was no fixing that now. She had been preparing to growl at the ShadowClanners antagonizing Springpaw, but Dawnstar got to it first. And she was too exhausted to follow up, so hopefully the fools actually listened to their leader.

RiverClan scent washed over the area for the first time in a few moons. Before she could lift her head to look, Gingerfrost (assumedly -star by this point, surely?) stepped onto the stones and addressed her. Boiling ire flared in her stomach immediately, and she fought to keep her expression blank, though she wasn't exactly successful in keeping the flare of anger out of her eyes. Bah, of course the snakes would be quick to cry about insignificancies while they tried to conceal their own schemes. Nothing had changed with them.

"Well, hello to you, too. Yes, my day's been lovely, thank you, how's yours?" She didn't bother to hide the bite in her tone; she may not have wanted to pick a fight with ShadowClan tonight, but she'd never said RiverClan was off the table. "We sent a scouting patrol into the outskirts, that's all. Didn't realize RiverClan was desperate enough to consider a random stump-filled field and a barren expanse of rock part of their territory now, 'cause as far as I'm aware that's all we looked at. Would've thought you'd go for another pond instead. If all that really is yours, then we'll keep out of it from now on."

She/her | 17 moons | Mind Reader - ACTIVE
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



Gathering, gathering, gathering. The word kept repeating in Larkwing's head like a mantra. As if saying it over and over again would allow for things to go smoothly, for no issues to arise and absolutely not a shred of chaos to follow. She wasn't stupid, though, she knows that all that is nothing more than wishful thinking and that it would be a miracle if something to cause uproar and chaos didn't happen. Not to mention, they'd missed the last two gatherings due to external factors so there was sure to be some intrigue and probably also some uproar. And, on top of even that, most of the positions of power in RiverClan had changed as well. Gingerstar became their leader, Falconfeather and Tansypaw became their medicine cats and she even was made deputy.

Stars, what would the other deputies think of her? Every time she'd been to a gathering in the past, it was nearly impossible not to feel intimidated by the presence of them standing in their spot. But that space would now include her. They were all so much older than her too... would they question the legitimacy of her position? Would they think Gingerstar was stupid for choosing her? If one harsh word was said about her leader, she'd be prepared to bite right back with a less than graceful comment about theirs despite her generally positive demeanor.

But, moving on to actually getting there first, Larkwing arrived somewhere close to the middle of the group, not quite the middle, but not right up front. She had no idea if Gingerstar would even want her next to him on their approach, so she stayed back instead. Stars- why did she suddenly find it so hard to talk to him? Before she was fine reporting to him, no anxieties at all, but now? She was nothing but nerves even just being close to him, like everything she did would be scrutinized and used against her, held over her head as reasons he should demote her. The molly shook her head, getting rid of those thoughts as fast as they came to her and simply focused on making her way across warm sand to where the deputies of the clans sat.

When she approached, however, she found the spot empty of deputies. Dawnstar and Bumblestar are here already, so where were their deputies? Larkwing wasn't sure if she was disappointed or relieved by this turn of events. On the one paw, she would not be immediate shooed away as she approached, but on the other paw, they may think her insolent for sitting where a deputy should be seated, completely disregarding her because of how young she is comparatively. After a deep breath in and out, Larkwing took her position and sat up straight, tail curled over her paws and looking confident, as if she were sitting exactly where she were meant to. Which, she reminded herself, she was.

Oh brother, thought Shadefrost as an unexpected ThunderClan npc materialized seemingly out of thin air. Who on earth was this she-cat? And why was she prattling on about a skirmish he barely recalled, nor had any interest in? There was nothing remarkable about her, and if he had fought with her and an apprentice, he was sure they were woefully unimpressive adversaries. But still, the question lingered, "Sorry, but have we met before?" The question was dry and unenthusiastic. If she chose not to answer, Shade wouldn't make a fuss. In fact he’d like that very much. But if she did, that would be fine too, he'd just forget her response by the end of this gathering. Suddenly, a voice chimed in beside the tom-cat, making him start a little. He looked to identify the speaker and was taken aback to find it was Cougarivy. Well, she seemed to be having a grand time. He was enjoying himself a bit too, but this was only a fleeting amusement. What he truly sought was something enduring. Stepping aside to clear his view of the squirrel, he turned to observe the medicine cat apprentice once more, but before he could speak, Drizzlecloud intercepted him. Apparently, even the high-ranking cats could be bothersome. For heaven's sake, why were they acting like he'd just attempted to—oh wait, he had. Nonetheless, he was presently merely posing a question. A straightforward one, at that. Yet somehow, they construed it as antagonism. To be clear, he would have relished rubbing it in Springpaw’s face, but that wouldn't gratify him at this moment. Shade refrained from delivering a snide remark to Drizzlecloud, having noticed his leader's stern glare. He felt a prickle of unease in his fur, but outwardly, he displayed no signs of agitation. Instead, he pivoted and made his way to find another seat. "Very well, I won't trouble you all further."

However, on the stones, he heard that both Gingerstar and Bumblestar started to... argue... And the reflexion of Bumblestar on their new piece of territory didn't make him pleased, Bumblestar was searching the mouse at the very start of the gathering... Wow...

Striding into the clearing confidently like he was the most important cat there the grey tabby tom glanced around the groups of cats with a fiery orange gaze searching for someone who looked at least a little interesting to socialise with as he wouldn't really like if he got stuck into a conversation about weather ot prey.

Though he wasn't fortunate enough to find a cat like that so instead he just sighed in annoyance and made his way to the front of the crowd and sat down his expression laced with boredom he had nothing to do and no-one to talk to great.

It wasn't long before he spotted his sister, Larkwing. the new deputy. And she looked quite out of place "Course' she does it's her first Gathering as someone important" he thought not really caring for a minute he wondered if he should talk to her but thought better of it she probably wouldn't appreciate it anyway so he just ignored her and went back to being bored.

Ah, finally, they're going to a gathering again! It's been like...2 or..3 moons or something like that they haven't been to a gathering so it's quite nice. As the apprentice reached the Seastones along with the rest of riverclan, they looked around, looking for a place to sit down...but they figured they won't be sitting near thunderclanners or windclanners...(for now at least, next gathering they probably will be open to sitting next to one)...after..uhm...what happened..so that leaves Shadowclan and their own clan. Maybe they could make some new friends! That'll be super great!
They stood still for a few seconds with the only moving thing are their eyes. Just looking for a place to sit; a place that is a good place and will have a good view from there. In the end, they sat near a shadowclanner. How did they know this was a shadowclanner? Well the scent gave it away. They never liked shadowclan's scent though. Since the spot was in the middle, it makes for a great place spot!

The shadowclanner seemed..around their age? Yea. "Hi there!" they greeted, their friendly tone accompanied with a smile of their's. "I'm Sunsetpaw of riverclan! Nice to meet you, what's your name?" they never tried making friends with a shadowclanner before, so this'll be a new experience! Would this apprentice be mean? Or fun to talk to? Most of the shadowclanners seemed...rather...not so kind looking but they don't want to judge, it's possible they just so happened to look that way! But some of the shadowclanners they had hear before seemed not friendly but who knows?

Haunting Pangolin

Her ears perked, nearly appearing to jump as a voice piped up beside her. She turned blue eyes on the apprentice, her head cocking as the scent of fish washed over her. She hadn't actually met somebody with it before but she remembered the scent from Papa Elmshadow's tour as being Riverclan scent. Riverclan, and then her head cocked again, confusion rippling through her for a quick moment. How does this Riverclan know my name already? She was never good with names but that seemed even crazy to her. And then it all came into better focus. They were asking her name..."Sunsetpaw? Your name? That was my name! That was my name before because it was my mom's name but she died. And Miss Star gave me Risingpaw because I asked her for it. Miss Star is very nice like that, she gives names. She was the first to give me Sunsetpaw too because I didn't have a real one before that, nope. How did you get your Sunsetpaw?"

The commander's black tail flicked back and forth, her blue eyes holding the Thunderclanner's, giving little attention to the injured medicine cat apprentice. She was more concerned with the antagonizing she-cat than whatever pathetic display Shadefrost was attempting with the little medic. She felt the heated gaze scorching through her and her claws flexed mildly. As Shadefrost made some comment and slunk off, Cougarivy smiled and shrugged. It wasn't exactly how she intended the situation to be diffused but it was diffused nonetheless with the tom's departure. So she turned back around to resume her place sitting beside Elmshadow.

Cherryswirl tilted her head only slightly, examining the other warrior with a faint smile. Hm.. Maybe she was coming off a little bit too strong. To be fair, they were in different clans after-all and one near-death encounter was sure to dredge up some complicated emotions. Her pelt prickled with embarrassment momentarily. So, Cherryswirl leaned back, giving Snowecho a decent amount of space, though she still remained seated close to him. Her smile faltered only slightly as the other confirmed her suspicions. Cherry gave a thoughtful hum, her voice low and gentle,

"It was very scary situation," She admitted, her eyes drifting downwards towards her paws as she recalled it. Cherry looked back up quickly, offering a gentle smile, "I was worried you would have gotten too much of a chill from the water, I've jumped in after plenty of RiverClan cats who are training, but never a ShadowClan cat... Are those apprentices you were with alright?"

Dovefluff

As graceful and swift as the wind itself, Dovefluff swept into the Gathering place, eyes locked on her daughter. And on the pathetic tom who had almost killed her child. This tom must have a death wish. That was the only explanation that Dovefluff could conjure up because there was no way he was approaching her baby after what he did. Lapis eyes narrowed and scorching, she padded as quickly as she could to where the cats stood, brushing past Hawkbite, her old friend, with only a mumbled 'excuse me' because damn it, she was on a mission and didn't even recognize him, eyes locked on her daughter. Drizzlecloud was there but it didn't matter if there was the whole of ThunderClan itself defending Springpaw because if she wasn't there to protect her kid then she failed as a mother. Only limping on her injured leg slightly, not even a wince of pain gracing her features because she was so determined, she shot Feather a glance and a brief not before positing herself as close as her daughter as she could without stepping onto the Seastones. She could care less if this wasn't how Gathering were supposed to properly be structured, the combined might of heaven and hell wouldn't be able to pry her away from Springpaw.

Silently, she watched Shadefrost slink off, soon followed by Cougarivy. Cool words and slits for eyes turned to watch Cougarivy's departure. The fact that this cat acted like she had the conflict resolution level that was equivalent to that of a newborn kit, Dovefluff wasn't surprised at what had just transpired. Turning to look at her little Spring, she didn't say anything, just reaching forward to gently nuzzle her daughter's side, before resuming her position beside the stone, like the Sentinel she had become in the past few days, eyes searching the crowd for any other rat that dared approach her daughter.

Good. Shadefrost and the other ShadowClan warrior were gone. Dovefluff had now assumed position beside Springoaw, or at least as close as she could get. Feathernose blinked at Drizzlecloud, no problem!

Seeing that the med cat apprentice's mother was there, the warrior guessed she wasn't needed anymore, because who was a better guard than your mother? Still, Feather stayed close, hovering amongst other cat's to monitor her Clan's medicine cat's and ensure no one caused trouble (but also making sure no ShadowClanner, as much as she disliked them, didn't get their ears clawed off, courtesy of Dovefluff). Feathernose just prayed that everything would go smoothly. Please StarClan, don't let everything descend into chaos...

As much as he would've like to say he was excited about this gathering, he couldn't lie. He wasn't. The rift between the clans and RiverClan put him on edge as he padded along silently behind Gingerstar and Larkwing, Tansypaw a little ways in front of him. The medicine cat kept his head and tail down, but still had his cool, collected demeanor as the clan slipped down towards the gathering place. By the smell, ShadowClan and ThunderClan had already arrived much to Falconfeather's disliking. Just a couple of sunrises ago, he was a RiverClan warrior, fighting in the previous battles between his clan and the others, so it was hard for him to even think friendly of the others, the still wary thoughts of getting jumped by those thunder rats plagued his mind. Ewugh. Pale green gaze flicked lightly up as he watched the other hugh ranks dissperse into the collective places, watching Gingerstar with an amused snort head for the deputys' place before turning quickly and leaping up to where the leaders sat, then turned to gaze Larkwing settle quietly where their leader first headed, leaving only Tansypaw to lead him the way towards the other 3 medicine cats that sat together.

Tansypaw's nervous greeting brought a soft smile to his face as Falconfeather padded up quietly behind her and laid his tail along her back in reassurance. Green eyes flitted to see Drizzlecloud supporting a heavily injured Springpaw, which made him wince internally at the sight of the sweet apprentice, then towards a stoic Elmshadow as he sat quietly watching the discussion between the leaders. "Sorry about her she's a little nervous, first gathering and all. I'm Falconfeather, the new medicine cat for RiverClan. Only just recently Gingerstar has appointed us, a few sunrises ago actually. We both only know a few herbs plus the basics, but that's about it. Anywho, nice to meet you there, and I'm terribly sorry about the injuries our clan has cost you the past moon." Not really. He didn't add that last part.

The Calico was maybe one of the last few ThunderClanners to arrive, or within that group anyways. Slinking in as hidden as he could be. Well, that's what anyone who was somewhat smart enough would do. Especially if they'd killed a certain frog clan's medicine cat. He was not smart.

Last time he'd been to a Gathering he got jumped by one of the few faces on the patrol. A shame because he hadn't killed them all to cover his tracks. It's like trying to juggle foxes and a rather decently trained medicine cat would make things hard.

Either way, the tom took up the rear with a look of boredom. Truthfully he didn't wish to be here. Too many felines.

Sunsetpaw? That was this cat's name before! Haha, that's kinda funny; quite the coincidence that Sunsetpaw spoke to a former Sunsetpaw! The dead mom part, though, was...less...great. The riverclanner themselves hadn't seen either of their parents since they were...like..3 moons old? They also haven't seen their brother so yea....at least they slowly overcame that after some time and in the end, things ended up alright. Okay okay then, back to the conversation now! This other cat's name was Risingpaw and..apparently you can request a name change? Well- they know it was possible to have your name can get changed if the leader feel like so but they weren't aware you can actually ask the leader for a name change so that was neat. Though they probably won't be changing their name anytime soon.

The seven moon old apprentice's gaze went towards Dawnstar for a few seconds then went back to the shadowclan apprentice when she told them that the shadowclan leader is nice. They don't know how the cat acts in her everyday life. And sometimes, mean looking cats are nice so they wouldn't disagree with what the other apprentice told them. Plus, they rarely she the big shadowclan leader. Onto the question of how they got their name..well.."well, my name was given to me by my mom! At the time since i was a kit my name was Sunsetkit and i used to have a brother named Sunrisekit so there was a theme there " it was quite easy guessing that the two were siblings from their names. "Do you have any siblings?" they asked, curiously.

Ferretfleck sniffed the cat. Were they okay? Maybe they were tired? She'd feel bad for waking them up. It would make sense, it [/i]was[/i] pretty late and dark. She tried to wait for the cat to wake up, but as Ferretfleck was impatient, she soon got bored and poked the cat gently. "Hello? Are you awake?"

The WindClan leader made her way to the gathering a little bit on the late side, but it's not like she cared. Tonight it wasn't the cold slowing her down, the leader had spent quite a bit of time in her den thinking before she joined her clanmates and led them out of camp.

Upon arrival, Twilightstar noticed that all three clans were already there. It seemed like ThunderClan and ShadowClan had been up to something if the fresh wounds on their cats were anything to go by. She let that distract her as she leaps up to join the other three leaders on top of the stones. There are new pelts among the medicine cats and a new one sitting in the deputy's place as well.

Twilightstar offered a brisk nod to the leaders, although noticed that Bumblestar was having a mildly heated exchange with the Gingerstar(?). It got her wondering what it was about, she had only heard the tail end of it. Was RiverClan causing trouble with ThunderClan again? The she-cat's tail tip twitched as her son's words bounced around her head, perhaps there was more merit in them than she originally thought. Huffing quietly, the leader coiled her tail around her paws and puffed up her pelt to combat the cold night air.

WindClan Has Arrived

Whisperingpaw(5/100)

Whisperingpaw padded down, his head held low. The voices were whispering to him, warning of something that'll happen. He stared up at Bumblestar, staring at her wounds. "THE BLOOM! THE BLOOM WAS ABLE
TO HARM THE STAR. Well yeah, they were fighting." The voices said. Whisperingpaw has no idea who 'The Bloom' is, so he ignored them. dino. (Bumblestar mention)

[Katiethewolfchild]

Bearpelt followed Twilightstar to the meeting. She heard Beastpaw yelling for her and her two other daughters and sighed. She meowed hello Beastpaw. Can you please be quieter?

Birdpaw followed Twilightstar to the gathering.She was SO EXCITED to go to her first gathering. She heard Beastpaw yelling out and meowed Beastpaw! Isn't is SO EXCITING that we're going to A GATHERING!

Foxpaw arrived at the gathering. She had fallen several times on the way to the gathering and was quite sore, thought otherwise uninjured. She headed over to Beastpaw, Mommy and Foxpaw and meowed hello Beastpaw. GhostlyStarfinder

**Elmshadow**
Shadowclan Medicine Cat

Drizzlecloud was predictably close behind the Thunderclan apprentice and then Rivercln's fishy scent was wafting over the gathering. It'd been some time since he'd last seen anybody from Riverclan, it was encouraging that they'd finally get some news from the absentee clan. Though the first of the news, and likely answering to some degree the clan missing the last couple gatherings, was clear enough as soon as the high ranks positioned themselves. Riverclan had apparently underwent a complete upheaval of their ranks. Gingerfrost, assuming Gingerstar by the position the former deputy took upon the seastones, moved into the spot previously held by Beanstar and a new she-cat took up among the other deputies, one Elmshadow couldn't say he recognized in any significant fashion. And even Stonepaw seemed to be gone. It was a pity, really, he'd been one of the few left that Elmshadow could stand. He was young but had grown rather competent. Now Riverclan seemed to be starting fresh once more with a medicine cat and apprentice. Quickly Elmshadow was noticing nothing promising about either. The apprentice was flighty and nervous as so many medicine cat apprentices seemed to be, and Falconfeather, though obviously newly turned from a warrior as he himself had been seasons ago, was quick to make niceties with the Thunderclan medicine cats. He at least seemed self-assured but that hardly spoke positives in Drizzlecloud's case so he wasn't giving it much credence in Falconfeather's case either. Time would tell soon enough, he was sure. He gave the newest medics a cordial nod before turning his gaze toward his mate as she returned to his side then back up to the leaders. Now they had only to wait for Cowtuft and Lightningpaw. No sooner had the thought crossed his mind that the breezy scent intermingled with the rest and Twilightstar was making her way up to the Seastones.

What had he done to deserve such kindness? First she had saved his life and now it seemed as though she had purposefully sought him out to ask him how he had recovered... Did she pity them? Could she tell how weak-willed he truly was? Nervous thoughts swirling, he nearly forgets to reply, remembering a few awkward silent moments later that they were indeed engaging in conversation and he was expected to help carry it on. Sputtering patheticly, he screws his eyes shut in an attempt to re-center and offer a response to her concern.

"I-- I've dealt with worse, really, and if it ended up that way then m-maybe it would've been a just end for someone like me, I--" No, idiot! The pretty molly didn't want to hear you beat on yourself! Talk about the apprentices instead, that would steer the conversation back into the light. "... They're alright. M-Most likely got a scolding but, um... Otherwise alright... Sorry. About them."

[iliri]

The young molly’s lithe legs began to restlessly ache the longer that she stood within the depths of the autumn night, her muscles growing more and more sore against the brisk wind that lapped against her disheveled features. Her throat felt like it was pulsing angrily against the constant whirling of pain that was succumbing throughout her body, her eyes barely making themselves out within the darker atmosphere of the Seastones right in front of her. Half of her peripheral vision was entirely blurred, while the other just saw everything in a normal light against the darkness of the nightly atmosphere resting along the crevices of the sandy beach. God, everything was just a whole tirade of pain and agony, and she couldn’t do anything about it at the given moment in time standing here as helplessly as frightened prey while she leaned against the ticked tabby form of her mentor.

She should’ve taken a poppyseed or two before she even bothered coming to this hellhole of a gathering. It could have been helpful to help ease off this constant throbbing of agonizing pain along her hind leg, underbelly, face, and punctured neck wounds that were each grazed with external scarring. The early autumn wind didn’t help either; only just making her long tri-colored fur spike up against every raging force of cold air that hit against her face, making her naturally long fur bristle uncomfortably against the tight squeeze of screeching winds and battering gusts. Her barbed tongue briefly swiped itself amongst her lips to try to moisturize the cold, numbed areas against the freezing temperatures, making only her whiskers twitch daintily in response to the sudden movement, appreciating the moment of comforting warmth that surpassed over her chilled nose.

Drizzlecloud’s words of comfort broke through her hazy thoughts, drawing the loop-sided calico towards her mentor’s attention as her lapis-blue gaze made contact with her naturally gentle jade-green, mentally taking note of the concern that flourished through her mentor’s usually gentle eyes as she offered herself help to for the frail calico. There were words that Springpaw wished could be expelled through her numbing lips; words of gratitude, to be exact. The words of gratitude bubbled helplessly within her, wishing to come out, yet staying stuck halfway through her throat. Unable to be expressed. She didn’t know how to, that was the thing. Both her partially torn vocal cords and her mindlessly blank train of thought made it rather difficult for her to properly pay attention to the current situation at stake. Fluttering her eyes, the diluted feline focused her cloudy attention towards the dark silhouette of her mentor, fighting off the growing fatigue and exhaustion that ached from her chilling wounds that was growing sore from the constant bone-chilling cold that glazed over her tri-colored body.

Even if it wasn’t far towards the strenches of leaf-bare yet, the battering gusts of wind were absolutely awful, and the frost that expelled through her frost-bitten lips was more than enough to implicate the fact that winter was drawing closer than she’d like, and this was only the mere beginning of the severe storms upbringing. Drawing her focus away from the heavy crowd of warriors and from her mentor, her eyes drew up towards the bleak, pitch-black sky that bore little-to-no dazzling bright stars in its endless, starless grasp, yet the bright sphere of the crescent moon was visible against the tenebrosity. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a soft, silver glow over everything in sight. The world felt hushed, as if it had been put to sleep by the gentle light, aside from the battering winds against mother nature’s call to give the world its breath of bone-chilling air.

Other than that, it was quiet and yet almost somber in a way, making the young healer express another teeth-clattering chill as the darkness almost entirely engulfed the beach. Her numbed, snow white-furred paws were caked with bits of sand that decided to stick to her fur-coat and stay stuck there like sticky, dark amber-colored tree sap that oozed from the tiny crevices of tree-bark every early spring that drew in. Every part along her body just felt like she was being constantly body-slammed into the cold, frost-like ground just like a few sunrises ago when ShadowClan tried to take Sunkissed Creek, in which they had helplessly succeeded in doing so and now they have full control of the place with their greedy paws. She just wanted to do nothing more than just go back into the comforting depths of her moss-bed and finally just go sleep and rest her aching muscles against this wretched agony.

Another presence approaching the young calico made her grow distant from her hazed thoughts, Springpaw incessantly blinking away the fatigue that clouded her vision as she focused blearily towards the direction of the voice that sounded like nothing less than a harsh whisper against the gentle hush that cloaked the land with its squeezing chill of air. The peppery scent of the disheveled amber-and-russet colored leaves that drifted from the dying tall trees was quick to be overdrawn with the marshy, acrid stench of ShadowClan as horrid memories flashed before her eyes, almond-shaped hues staring befuddled at the tom-cat in front of her as he granted his request. Vile words bubbled furiously, a stifling breath choking in her throat as the impotence bore down onto her body as heavy as the burden that poured itself over her shoulders.

The simple sound of the tom’s taunting and maliciousness clawed towards that retching nausea that was swirling itself deep within her belly, twisting endlessly as it churned. Each wobbly intake of breath felt more and more difficult to suppress, her claws scraping attentively against the smooth surface of the Seastones that she sat upon with eyes wide as an owl as her fear-drenched eyes remained locked with Shadefrost’s icy hues, watching the malice dripping from his hard stare.

Her limbs felt like they were as thin as lanky twigs, the ill-fretting nausea overweighting her consciousness as pleading words helplessly spluttered past her lips, Springpaw trying her hardest to ignore the agonizing splutters that worked against her throat and feeling like the muscles that were trying to heal from the recent events were only tearing once more as the words slipped past her lips, her throat gurgling as she could easily feel her body burning with both fury and torment. “K… k-keep… away… f-from—” a choking breath caught in the midst of her gaping throat, a scuttling paw desperately reaching out and grasping tightly onto her mentor’s side, hauling herself back onto the smooth surface of the Seastones with the support of her mentor’s weight keeping her afloat. A silent, weak apology surpassed her lips as her blue gaze came into contact with her jade-green hues, watching as her mentor defensively laid her tail among the calico’s shoulders; a quiet wheeze surpassing Springpaw’s beaten lungs, each gaping breath of the brisk air filled her chilled lungs, only exhaling in mists of frost as she tried to settle the pounding heart that she was withstanding.

She wanted to finish her remark, but her rather vital injuries and the peering set of watchful keen eyes was more than enough to catch her off-guard, dizziness overwhelming her more than ever as the nausea swirled more than ever in the deepest pits of her stomach, her face pale and head light as her large frost-bitten ears instinctively pinned themselves against her tri-colored head. Deep, wobbly breaths filled her chilled lungs, making it difficult for her to properly focus on the fact that yet two more figures dove into her blurred vision; one of them smelling heavily of a ThunderClan warrior while the other was a ShadowClan warrior; they both were also mollies, and Springpaw could’ve sworn that her stomach queasily quenched against the words that escaped the ShadowClan warrior’s mouth, her nausea raising as she saw the splitting grin forming along the corners of the older molly’s maw, looking like a creepy cheshire grin more than anything that Springpaw had ever seen in her life.

Boiling ire bubbled deep within her queasy stomach, and her body felt like it was swaying, her head ruthlessly pounding alongside with the unsettling nausea in her stomach. Was all of these cats out for her blood? Did they all want her dead and skinned so that she could be used for some sort of trophy? The thought gave her internal goosebumps, her paws further compressing themselves into the smooth surface of the stones that she sat atop upon, almost contradicting against the numb feeling that was pulsing through them from the battering chills that rushed throughout her body. The ShadowClan warrior gave her nothing but a stir of unease and worry that kept rushing through her veins and poured into her system like a fast moving train, practically causing the young molly to hide the urge to shield herself away from the rather watchful crowd and hide herself away the peering eyes of her leader and many, many other warriors and apprentices.

It was helplessly embarrassing at most, and Springpaw was absolutely despising it like all of the deepest pits of hell and the darkest, murky forests of the Dark Forest itself. Of course, Feathernose was a slight help with at least trying to get Shadefrost to back off from his antagonizing towards the battered healer, but it didn’t help succumb the overwhelming nausea that was coursing through her stomach, clawing its way up her throat and practically latching itself to the back of her throat as she forced herself to swallow back the bile that noticeably crawled its way up her throat, making her stomach clench unsettlingly. She just wanted to go home and no longer deal with this helpless mess. That was all that she wanted more than sitting here and listening to the constant bickering. She wanted to just go back home and try to reorganize some patrols and try to get herself situated at best. That was what felt like it needed to be done.

The familiar sight of a luxurious silver coat drawing itself through the crowd was more than enough to catch Springpaw’s attention, the young molly’s blue eyes making contact with her mother’s deep sapphire blue. Springpaw felt her pained muscles tense, and her body itched to go over towards her mother and allow the gentle molly to cradle her in the best way possible. Dovefluff loved her more like a daughter than her actual mother ever could, and Springpaw couldn’t be more thrilled with that. The battered healer watched with amicable silence, her legs practically shaking as she watched her mother give her perpetrator the look that only a fierce loving mother would in defense of her child. Like a mother bear of sorts with her young cubs. Springpaw felt that unsettling nausea slip away slowly, but it still remained in heavy assortments that from a simple act of movement itself that it would cause her to helplessly retch and fall over out of the pure dizziness that succumbed throughout her tired mind. Stars, she was so painfully exhausted. It was probably from her wounds, but she didn’t care about that at the moment; she wanted her mother to give her the comfort that she heavily desired.

The brief moment of her mother's nuzzle was all that she needed, because Springpaw felt her gaze turn to focus on her mother, their eyes meeting as she could easily feel the unbridled love and warmth that coursed through the both of them. Springpaw could almost feel the impending message coming off her mother that she was going to protect her no matter what, even if it cost her her own life. That thought mentally irked the young apprentice, her claws almost accidentally slipping from their sheathes from the simple thought itself that was practically coursing through her mind like a raging wildfire. What the hell would she do if she did lose the only mother figure that she had? She already almost lost her once due to that bloodthirsty tom-cat no longer than a few moons ago, and that memory still stained her memories just as easily as blood stained the naturally green grass with its scarlet essence. Her throat was quick to feel tight again, and her breathing felt wobbly. Squeezing her eyes shut, the calico desperately fought against the bitter feeling. It hurt a hell of a lot, and there wasn’t much that she could do about that besides fight through it and keep going forward.

By the time RiverClan arrived, the dilute calico hadn’t even noticed a different pair of felines sitting in the place where Stonepaw usually sat, being replaced by a dilute tortoiseshell molly and a silver-furred tom-cat, both of them smelling heavily of RiverClan. The ThunderClan healer lifted her head up briefly against the agony that was coursing through her body, her ears swirling themselves forward the listen to the words that escaped the younger feline’s mouth, Tansypaw, she supposed. Huh. So was Stonepaw demoted? Or, most potentially, did he step down? What a shame. The calico could feel a part of her growing sympathetic for the young tom, knowing that it couldn’t have been an easy choice to make to step down from a position that you have been in for so long. Springpaw hoped that the tom-cat was at least being in peace working as a normal apprentice instead of taking on the hard duties of a medicine cat. It was a hard choice to make, she supposed.

Swallowing down the bile that collected at the back of her throat, the battered healer tried her hardest to sputter out words that were bound to escape her lips, a pained reaction coming off from the calico when she bothered trying to speak. So, instead, she raised a snow-white paw and gently pressed it against her own chest, trying to indicate the fact that she was ThunderClan’s medicine cat apprentice. “S… S-Spring,” she quietly stammered, her voice bleak and dull as she tried her hardest to speak properly to both the apprentice and the new medicine cat without her throat giving up on her while she spoke. Maybe Drizzlecloud would be able to do this better than her? Whichever, she hoped that would be likely. Springpaw knew entirely nothing about sign language and she certainly was nowhere as good as how Cowtuft did it. Hopefully the naturally gentle-hearted tom-cat could give her some tips on how to use sign language instead of speaking with torn vocal cords, because for the love of stars above, it hurts like absolute hell.

Speaking of the naturally heather-smelling clan, she could easily see Twilightstar making her way towards the Seastones, feeling her hopes heighten just a bit. Maybe Cowtuft would be along with them? Or, maybe even Lightningpaw could give them some tips with how to properly communicate through gestures and signs? Whichever it’ll be, she hoped that it would be plausible. Springpaw’s throat felt like it was turning raw and that her wounds were bound to reopen again, and she definitely did not want that to happen to her at all. So, she just shuffled herself closer to her mentor, resting lightly against the ticked tabby form as she felt herself growing at ease with her mentor’s presence around. It was helpful in a way. Much helpful than dealing with the constant bickering of warriors trying to antagonize her for her grave wounds.

She just wanted to go home more than anything else…

Oh, good, WindClan was here. She could get on this. With a curt nod of greeting to Twilightstar, Bumblestar got to her paws and abandoned Gingerstar so that she could step up to the edge of the stone to speak.

"Despite what it might look like, ThunderClan's doing well. Ran into a spot of trouble but it's small in the grand scheme of things, nothing we can't bounce back from. We lost Morningsight 'n Silverswirl, but we also have Fleckpaw, Deerpaw, Dogpaw, 'n Sheeppaw as new apprentices.

"Also had some issues with some foxes at Herondive Hollow. Nothin' we can't handle, they're either dead or they ran, and if they did run I dunno where they ended up, so keep an eye out for 'em if you think they might be a problem. As you've probably noticed, Alderstep's not up here. He was sent to handle it, and he did an absolutely idiotic job of it, so for everything that happened as a result of his stupidity, he's been demoted. Goes by Foxstep now. No longer my deputy, no longer my problem.

"One of our warriors, Flameflicker, attacked a Clanmate, so he was exiled. He's this orange tom with a black tail and no sense of judgement. If you see him I recommend turning him away. He's worth nothing."

Her attention turned somewhat to Dawnstar. "That apprentice that gave ShadowClan 'n I some issues I think two Gatherings ago, he won't be a problem any longer. I caught him murdering one of our kits, Vinekit, in cold blood. So I executed him. He can rot in the forests below while Vinekit joins the stars above us." Ugh. Sentimental crap was never her thing, only said to appease the masses, because stars only knew if she didn't say anything she'd have her throat torn out by her own Clanmates back home.

And then to Gingerstar. "'N I'll be payin' you a visit later," she added, voice lower. "Got something I need to talk to you about."

And on that final note, Bumblestar stepped back to make room for someone else to speak.

Post : 87


Sunsetpaw? That was this cat's name before! Haha, that's kinda funny; quite the coincidence that Sunsetpaw spoke to a former Sunsetpaw! The dead mom part, though, was...less...great. The riverclanner themselves hadn't seen either of their parents since they were...like..3 moons old? They also haven't seen their brother so yea....at least they slowly overcame that after some time and in the end, things ended up alright. Okay okay then, back to the conversation now! This other cat's name was Risingpaw and..apparently you can request a name change? Well- they know it was possible to have your name can get changed if the leader feel like so but they weren't aware you can actually ask the leader for a name change so that was neat. Though they probably won't be changing their name anytime soon.

The seven moon old apprentice's gaze went towards Dawnstar for a few seconds then went back to the shadowclan apprentice when she told them that the shadowclan leader is nice. They don't know how the cat acts in her everyday life. And sometimes, mean looking cats are nice so they wouldn't disagree with what the other apprentice told them. Plus, they rarely she the big shadowclan leader. Onto the question of how they got their name..well.."well, my name was given to me by my mom! At the time since i was a kit my name was Sunsetkit and i used to have a brother named Sunrisekit so there was a theme there " it was quite easy guessing that the two were siblings from their names. "Do you have any siblings?" they asked, curiously.


╰─▸ ❝ Pitou [Risingpaw]

**Risingpaw of Shadowclan**

Her head cocked, an interested smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Your mom gave you your name?" She thought for a moment then perked up, "Maybe that's why I didn't have a name, not a real one anyway, till Miss Star gave me an apprentice's name!" She sat back, smiling satified at the conclusion and continued, "I didn't ever know my mom. Miss Ivy says I helped kill her! When I was born. But I had my Papa Elmshadow but I guess Papas don't give names." Her tail flicked and suddenly she remembered Papa Elmshadow's last lesson and she took in a deep breath. She was supposed to be practicing to not be so...much. Decorum...when to speak and when not to speak. She figured she'd already let the kit outta the nursery a bit on that front but she was still learning. She'd do better, yep yep! She cocked her head, smiling. "Sunrise? That sounds like a good name. What happened to him? If you used to have a..." Have a what? She shrugged and kept going. "Is he killed too?" She cocked her head considering the last question. Siblings? "Well...I dunno. I've got Papa Elmshadow and Miss Ivy and Miss Shiver has always been around too and of course my favoritest Moomoo, and Moomoo told me that Pip and Shader and Starry and Larky and Seedling were my 'uncools' and 'ants'. Moomoo is my family. Maybe Moomoo is a sibling?" Sibling... she chewed over the word an extra moment then shrugged and turned back to this new Sunsetpaw, fishy Sunsetpaw, and realized that she should probably ask them like they'd asked her. "Do you have family? Or uncools and ants?"

"Consider yourself lucky! Fogfall has been working me to the bone." he chuckles flicking his tail. "We did some battle training the other day. That was surprisingly fun.

Sunleap listened, smiling at the mention of Dogpaw and Sheeppaw becoming apprentices, thought he already knew that they were apprentices. His kits. Well two of them anyways. Beetlekit was still a kit. He was sure she would be apprenticed soon, as she was as ready as her sisters.

Flock Together [Tier 3] - Inactive

Dainty paws rushed swiftly alongside the rest of WindClan, the cold air feeling uncomfortable on her short pelt. Ugh... this was most certainly the one thing she did not miss about the easier days in the nursery. The cold. Having been born a leaffall kit did not make for the warmest of pre-apprenticeship days. Literally. Was it too early to start wishing for newleaf again?

The amount of scents permeating the air as they reached the beach buffeted at her face with incredible force, almost violently. It had been so long since all four clans had been at the gathering! Hopefully there wouldn't be any trouble... but judging by their track record ever since she'd first come here as a new medicine cat apprentice... well, trouble seemed to feel quite at home here amidst the four clans, truce be damned. Following the lilac furred leader as she joined the others, Lightningstorm had to hold back an eye roll as Bumblepaw began the gathering, barely allowing the WindClan leader a second to approach the stones. Deciding that if ThunderClan's leader couldn't be bothered to wait half a bloody second for everyone to get settled in she didn't have to pay any mind to her words, the calico turned her attention towards the medicine cat's perch, pausing for a moment as she realized... Stonepaw wasn't there.

What... what had happened? Had ThunderClan claimed the life of yet another medicine cat? There wasn't just a new medicine cat, either, but a medicine cat and what was undoubtedly an apprentice. The wiry framed healer's nose wrinkled a little in thought, unsure of what to make of it. She knew ThunderClan had done the same. Appointed a medicine cat and a medicine cat apprentice at the same time but... she couldn't fathom why. It was the head medicine cat's job to teach the apprentice. To use their experience to guide the new apprentice down the path of healing, like Cowtuft had done for her. But if you were learning side by side... Surely it would be wiser to simply hold on. Wait until the head medicine cat was ready - like Stonepaw and Cowtuft had done - before forcing them to teach a cat with knowledge that they simply did not have?

Despite her curiosity on the matter, Lightningstorm shrugged, deciding to let it go. It wasn't her place to question what other clans did or didn't do with their healers. As long as it didn't hurt WindClan and it was working for them, there was no reason to poke the hive, so to speak. Her curiosity sated with this decision, the young healer finished the walk towards the medicine cat's perch, leaping easily besides the others, sitting down on her usual spot close to Chuckles. Out of habit, she offered a cheeky grin, letting her gaze study the two new felines before speaking.

Truth be told, she hadn't the foggiest who either of these two RiverClanners were. The spotted molly hadn't had the pleasure of meeting them during the battle, and considering her first gathering had been attended as Cowtuft's apprentice, she never had the possibility of mingling amongst the apprentices and warriors of the other clans. The older one was handsome enough that she felt she would at least remember seeing him before, and the younger one looked roughly her age, which meant she must have started her own warrior training some moons ago. Probably a good thing, considering how things had been of late. Best have some level of battle training in you if you were expected to heal cats. Especially if ThunderClan continued their casual murder spree.

Allowing her gaze to travel to the rest of the medicine cats perched there, Lightningstorm felt her grin waver, the sight of Springpaw's wounds giving her pause. The reason for those wounds was... easy enough to guess. ThunderClan and ShadowClan leaders both looked like they were sporting new wounds, and considering Ivysnake's demise... The Oriental mix wanted to say it was to be expected. ShadowClan didn't seem like the type to take a blow like that sitting down but... expected and deserved were two very different things, and as much as she did not care for ThunderClan's leadership, their medicine cat apprentice did not deserve what had no doubt been a brutal, merciless attack with an intention to kill.

Her sharp features slowly adopting a sterner, more somber countenance, the lithe calico held her tongue. This was normally where she would have said something silly. Probably pertaining to the weather. Mentioning how the other clans had obviously been having a grand old time this past moon. It felt... out of place today, however. To have a cat who had forsaken violence to heal be so violently attacked was... disgusting, if she were to be honest, even if she could understand the thought process that had gone behind it. It was a shame, truly. She honestly expected better from ShadowClan. Instead, the molly simply nodded, dipping her head in greeting as she curled her tail around herself before turning her attention to the leader's perch as they continued their announcements.

The immature warrior sniffed the cat some more. The cat was sad, and that wasn't good. "Who rejected you? Why?" She inquired. She didn't like it when cats were sad. Especially on the gathering, when everyone was supposed to get along and be happier to meet each other than usual.

She was waiting for a response soon after when a feather drifted into the beach. It looked a lot like the one she got distracted by before the gathering... maybe it was that feather! It landed in front of the usually hyper cat,,who started batting it toward Sleekfur.

SourPaw padded into the seastones with her clan. As she heard BumbleStar them that she'd send them home is they misbehaved and the small cream apprentice made a mental note to do nothing stupid. It had appeared that Shadowclan had already showed up and as she padded in further and vaguely heard a thunderclan apprentice be accused of kidnapping a shadowclan apprentice. "Quite the story..." The small apprentice muttered to herself, squeezing through cats. She was shoved away by DoveFluff, who seemed in a hurry to get to her daughter, SpringPaw.

A little later, after the young she-cat had finally found a seat, Riverclan arrived. SourPaw saw GingerFrost leading the way. She guessed that he was their new leader considering BeanStar was...uh...dead...SourPaw also noticed 3 new high ranking cats. She knew none of them but guessed they'd be introduced.

Quite a bit later, the clan that mattered most arrived. Windclan! LichenPaw's clan! The cream she-cat was ecstatic to meet her friend! She jumped up and waited for Windclan to file into the Seastones. After they settled, SourPaw set off weaving through the many cats, searching for LichenPaw.

They were absolutely astounded by the sights, like they were an apprentice at their first ever gathering. They couldn't stop staring at the moon.

One by one, the clans arrived and the leaders started announcing stuff. DaisyDream could care less though. They kept chatting with people and having conversations with them. They'd been to so many gatherings before but they always thought each one was different.

They approached someone and said "Hi! I'm DaisyDream! What's your name!?"

Soon, the young apprentice found herself lightly sobbing in the middle of the gathering. The floodgates had opened and there was a lot of water in those gates.

"My friend," he whispered, seeing Cherryswirl in his imagination right in front of him. "There she is, see?" he pointed with his tail towards where she supposedly was. "But then again, I'm probably deluded."

[silver.]

This was... Insanely stressful. The appearance of Falconfeather made it a little more bearable but these other medicine cats didn't seem all that friendly. Sure, they were all from different clans but... Man, they didn't even bother to offer a simple verbal greeting! And the only one that made any attempt to was so injured that it wasn't much of one at all. What had happened to the she-cat to put her in such a state? Weren't medicine cats supposed to stay away from all the violence? And if she was so injured why didn't she just stay back in the Thunderclan camp?

And then another cat appears in silence. The look she was giving... Tansypaw didn't think it was possible to feel any more like the outsider she was but here she was. Suffering in silence, her uneasy gaze is unable to stay on any one cat for too long. Maybe this was some kind of mistake. As the thought manifests, she can't help but stare up at Gingerstar. Did he really make the right choice appointing her to such a role? Because again: didn't feel like it. But as she stares up at her leader beside the other three... It almost appeared as though he didn't belong there either, in his own way. And though that thought is awful it makes her feel a bit better. A bit stronger. It was easier to wallow in her loneliness. Always had been. But this was her chance!

As Bumblestar begins to talk, the apprentice shuffles in closer to the group of medicine cats, whispering as to not interrupt the Thunderclan leader's list of announcements. Which were super jarring, by the way. A deputy demotion? An execution? An exile? What was going on in Thunderclan?!

"I don't know if there would be a good time but... Falconfeather and I... Our herb knowledge is really limited. Would any of you be willing to stay behind for a little bit and maybe give me some help? Anything would be great. And if there's anything I know that could be helpful I don't mind sharing.

Risingpaw helped...kill..her mom...? When she was born...? Sunsetpaw just sat there wondering what that could've meant. And then they managed to figure it out. Oof. But as long as the shadowclanner was still happy either way, it was fine. Sunsetpaw won't know what they'll be like if they were born and their mother died though. Technically it meant their mom would've died because of them. Papas don't give names? Well, their dad was never really around and they ended up gone just like everyone else but they didn't know for sure if that was true for other cats. Maybe it is, maybe it's only for some cats. "Yea, Sunrise is a good name" they replied, now remembering when the two could play for hours and not get bored; but that's all the past now. They were about to respond to Risingpaw's question but the she-cat guessed and...well...it's correct, unfortunately

"Yeah..i'm not sure how he died but if i remember correctly i was around...1 or 2 moons old at the time" that was some time ago but they still remembered how sad they were "been a while since i've seen him" onto what Risingpaw said...uh..well they knew about the Elmshadow cat but uhm..Miss Ivy and Miss Shiver? They knew that these cats were probably shadowclanners though the names were quite funny, especially whoever Pip, Shader, Seedling? They wouldn't have think of giving other cats nicknames like that. Sounds fun though they weren't sure if other cats would get angry because of it. They didn't really want to make other cats angry like they did with Winterpaw. Starry is Starrypaw(?) Uncools and ants, though? Uh..oh! Uncles and aunts! Yea that sound like it! Moomoo...a cat with like...a cow in their name or looks like one or such? Maybe. "No, as far as i'm aware, i only have a brother and my parents and i'm the only member of my family still in riverclan" they said the less worrying possibility is just that their parents are living in the outskirts. The more worrying(and sad) possibility is that they're both dead. It's a lose/lose senario either way but Sunsetpaw hoped for the former possibility.

What the? Taking a second look Sharpclaw realized that the 'apprentice' he'd just reprimanded was in fact a kit. How he hadn't noticed until now was beyond him, but now that he did he'd use a slightly softer tone than before. Well, as soft as a grump like him could get anyhow.

Sharpclaw listened dumbly as the rambunctious kit rambled on about shushycats and birds. It was hard to understand what the little furball was saying, but Sharpclaw tried to respond anyway.

"Alright, Alright, just keep quiet already. I'll only be your friend if ya keep quiet an' stay outta trouble," he grumbled in the softest tone he could muster. What a loud kit. Who thought it was a good idea to let such a young kit join the gathering anyway? The little thing obviously didn't have the patience to sit down and listen to the whole meeting, let alone understand what was even going on. Sharpclaw resolved to keep an eye on Beastki-- paw-- for the rest of the gathering. If only to keep her out of trouble.

Her eyes quickly skirted from Snowecho, to the grouping of leaders, deputies, and medicine cats on the sea stones.

"What's a successful apprenticeship without some good old scolding?" She meowed with a tinge of amusement in her voice. "My first couple moons were nothing but camp repairs... heh - what about you? I don't think I envy getting scolded by Dawnstar."

This was so... Odd. When was the last time he had carried on conversation so casually with a cat that wasn't Deerpaw? Gaze finally lifting from his paws to stare over at her there's a glint of admiration there, amongst something else. Until the conversation of their apprenticeships are brought up. It seems as though all and any light immediately fades from his eyes and he has to look away, attention now also turning to the leaders high above on the Seastones.

It almost seemed easy talking to her. And since he had become like... Well, this. No one had approached him to ask what had happened. No one but his apprentice. Brows furrowing, he speaks quietly, so only Cherryswirl sitting close at his side could hear.

"... Snowecho." It was polite to introduce himself before dumping depressing information, right? Someone as bright and cheery as the molly at least deserved to know their name before learning of the past that will inevitably scare her away. "I'm sure I've been scolded by Dawnstar but... I don't remember. I don't remember anything past the last two moons. Everything else... Everything is gone."

How much to divulge? How much burden to place upon her shoulders? Once the words start they find that they cannot stop them, gaze hardening at the Shadowclan leader he was unintentionally staring at.

"All I remember... I was hunting. A badger... Badger took my eye. And then I fell. I was asleep for a while after I fell. And that's... That's it. I'm sorry, I... This probably wasn't what you wanted to hear today--"

The former queen padded through the amassed cats with ease, dainty paws leading her forward as she followed their leader. Round face turned upwards as she spotted the one eyed molly leaping towards the rock with the rest of clan heads. Leaders in their own right, Dapplebreeze was sure, albeit none could hold a whisker to the magnificence of their own. The evidence was just so clear when one saw the savage from ShadowClan, the petulant brat from ThunderClan, and the whispers of nothing from RiverClan besides Twilightstar's wisdom and strength. The patched warrior had been terribly ill these past few moons, unable to even leave camp for the most part. If it had not been for the medicine cat apprentice, she would not be here right now, she was certain. So, despite not being the biggest fan of these... reunions, she complied and joined up this one time, if only as a show of strength in gratitude to the healer who had given her strength once more... no matter how fleeting.

A delicate brow raised on the senior warrior's face as she took in the sight before her. She knew she had been absent from these for some time now, but... to think that so many new cats would be on top of these stones tonight. And all from RiverClan, too. In fact, aside of Gingerfrost - or Gingerstar, she supposed he should be called now - she did not recognize a single soul up there. Had their young medicine cat perished as well? Moors and sky, what a mess the clans were of late... If only they could behave properly and in accordance to the code like their dearest Twilightstar ensured her finest warriors did. True... there were some... unfortunate cases of warriors that she wasn't quite certain how they had earned their status, but the few could not outweigh the majesty that was WindClan's troops as a whole. This thought making Dapplebreeze's chest swell with undisguised pride, the sixty-one moon old wrapped her tail around herself, its thick fluff warming her toes nicely as she waited for the leaders to continue with their announcements.

"An exit." he sighed "I hate these things." he grumbled, flicking his tail.

Riverclan warrior
He/him
-------------

Bluestone looked around as the clan found someone to talk to, his white-blue stripes fur bristled as he glared around. His eyes glared until he saw someone, a windclan warrior sitting among the crowd, he rolled his eyes and walked over sitting a cat length away he looked at the leaders having no wish to make eye contact yet with a warrior.


He sat tall and his fur puffed out as he curled his tail around himself, the one eye blinded tom huffed as he sat there. What could he say to a windclan warrior who is at war with riverclan"How is windclan?" he asked softly but a bit serious, not wanting anyone to think about him as a softie much. Certainly that would be embarrassing since a warrior does hardcore things such as hunt, battle, patrol, guard and more.

[roo!]

The larger apprentice nods his head before frowning. "I wouldn't mind if Jayfeather works me to the bone, because at least I would be learning. Right?" He then turns and looks at Frecklepaw before smiling again.

"Oh well. How have you been doing, my friend?"

| Snowybreeze |
Heightened Perception [Smell] - Active

Massive paws plodded through the sand as the white furred warrior followed after the rest of WindClan, keeping guard from the rear. Feathery tail dragging along the ground, the gentle giant felt his nose explode, scents overpowering it from every direction. Ah. Yes. This was the reason he rarely came around to these gatherings. The amount of smells were murder on his poor, delicate nose. Still... it was good to keep up with news every now and then, even if it meant abusing his poor senses.

One of the leaders atop the perch had already started speaking, apparently nothing but good things for her clan? A small purr escaped Snowybreeze. Good for them. Just because they were from an enemy clan that did not mean they had to wish ill for them, after all. It would be much, much better if all four clans could simply have it easy for a bit. Let go of so much hatred and battling and embrace the fact that they were all cats in the end. Cats that maybe made mistakes, but... everyone did. Were those mistakes really worth hating an entire clan over? Spilling the blood of the innocent to right a slight?

True to form, the Maine Coon mix kept to the edges of the crowd. His massive form was known to block the view from those behind him, and it wouldn't do for him to be so rude to all these poor cats who had obviously come here to hear the news just as much as he did. Shuffling his paws on the ground, he dropped slowly into a warm, fluffy loaf, bright blue eyes on the group of leaders. Truth be told, the young warrior did not keep up with the day to day politics of the clans, and as such, hadn't much idea of who it was up there save the WindClan higher ups and Dawnstar. The... frankly terrifying leader was difficult to forget, the memory of her instantly buffeting his mind the moment he lay eyes on her. Silently, he sent a prayer to the stars for a nice, relaxing gathering. He knew those were rare but... a cat could hope, right? For everyone's sake.

What the? Taking a second look Sharpclaw realized that the 'apprentice' he'd just reprimanded was in fact a kit. How he hadn't noticed until now was beyond him, but now that he did he'd use a slightly softer tone than before. Well, as soft as a grump like him could get anyhow.

Sharpclaw listened dumbly as the rambunctious kit rambled on about shushycats and birds. It was hard to understand what the little furball was saying, but Sharpclaw tried to respond anyway.

"Alright, Alright, just keep quiet already. I'll only be your friend if ya keep quiet an' stay outta trouble," he grumbled in the softest tone he could muster. What a loud kit. Who thought it was a good idea to let such a young kit join the gathering anyway? The little thing obviously didn't have the patience to sit down and listen to the whole meeting, let alone understand what was even going on. Sharpclaw resolved to keep an eye on Beastki-- paw-- for the rest of the gathering. If only to keep her out of trouble.

"Seeseesee Birdy! Shushy a-said he's our friendy!!!!" Beastpaw yelled over to her sister. "Momma lookie issa Birdy and me's friend! I loike him a muchses!" She continued, this time to her mother. Sharpclaw's words finally sunk in her excitable mind and she obediently sat - on the ThunderClan warrior's paw, beckoning her sister to sit on the other, and then be lotsa quiets. Something neither of them had ever achieved.

Yyyeeeeaaaayyyyyyy!!! First gathering!! This is going to be so so super duper fun and exciting!! Spring will be able to meet so many new cats!! Springpaw walked not far behind Twilightstar. She was obviously younger than most apprentices but that's not a problem to her! Twilightstar made her an apprentice early so that means she's ready to be one early! Soon enough, she reached the gathering place along with her clan. The scent of the other clans soon filled her nostrils as soon as she arriverd; Ooooo so many scents Springpaw didn't know about! So so cool! And fun! There was this fishy scent...maybe that was the riverclanners! This...uh...marshy(?) scent...shadowclan? And then that other one was thunderclan!

Who should she talk to?? There's so many cats here! How can she choose??? There's also all four leaders here now! There's Twilightstar and-and also that cat over these and that cat over there and also that cat over there! Springpaw sat down, still looking around before one of the leaders started to speak! Who was that? Was it the thunderclan leader? She looks like a thunderclanner! Springpaw yawned before her attention went back to the thunderclan leader. But she got distracted again because she noticed the other high ranks as well! The meddies and the deputies! Woah! Thunderclan don't have a deputy anymore!! Interesting.

His cold blue Icey eyes glared
at everything from left to right.


Of course windclan and riverclan had to be at war but it wouldn't have started if both clans kept their own feather brained cats in their own territory. he turned his head slightly to see dapplebreeze talk in a polite and pleasent voice, certainly that's responsible without insulting him nor other cats. Who knows maybe he'll Jinx it to fast and a rogue will come and speak in a fish brained disrespectful voice to the leaders, as that has happened the last 3 or 4 gatherings ago or more. The tom huffed as he heard leaffall was treating them kindly. The tom frowned at the question the windclan molly asked, he sighed and looked towards the deputy and medicine cats before looking at the leader"Riverclan is well, We have a new deputy and medicine cats," he answered kindly and relaxed.


New home new deputy everything and yet he hasn't gotten his rat bites checked yup just a normal life as a warrior, surely one of these days he would kill more rats then any other prey for a while. Bluestone glared at his companion for a moment before returning to watching the crowd of cats.

Whisperingpaw nodded. "Loud? Annoying? Whinny? Mhm. They keep trying to make me kill cats." The apprentice said casually. "And since you make them quiet, you'll be safe." Whisperingpaw said, the voices were gone now.

She nods her head and smiles sadly. "Same here." She then looks around the clearing. This young tom makes her own voices leave - and she likes that. Not even Snaggletooth had. Looking at the young tom, her brow furrows.

Arriving at the tail-end of the WindClan cats, Fallownose barely glanced at Larkwing as he took his usual seat. He wasn't interested in the new RiverClan deputy. The fact that she seemed to be barely out of the nursery didn't help. (Yes, he was still pissed about Beanstar. Yes, he would blame RiverClan because he could).

Bumblestar was quick to start her announcements, and Fallownose listened quietly. It seemed Alderstep, well, Foxstep, had been demoted. Had the same thing happened to Vulurefang? Oh well, he would find wehn Dawnstar started her announcements.

"If ya need anything, Springpaw, let me know. I got no problem getting anything from camp." Feathernose murmured, coming as close to Springpaw as she could, then falling back to sit beside Dovefluff, ear cocked towards the medicine cat 'paw. It didn't really matter if she didn't answer, the warrior knew how much pain her younger Clanmate must be in. If she needed water or anything like that, the ThunderClanner probs would be able to fetch it. But a herb...

Dovefluff

As graceful and swift as the wind itself, Dovefluff swept into the Gathering place, eyes locked on her daughter. And on the pathetic tom who had almost killed her child. This tom must have a death wish. That was the only explanation that Dovefluff could conjure up because there was no way he was approaching her baby after what he did. Lapis eyes narrowed and scorching, she padded as quickly as she could to where the cats stood, brushing past Hawkbite, her old friend, with only a mumbled 'excuse me' because damn it, she was on a mission and didn't even recognize him, eyes locked on her daughter. Drizzlecloud was there but it didn't matter if there was the whole of ThunderClan itself defending Springpaw because if she wasn't there to protect her kid then she failed as a mother. Only limping on her injured leg slightly, not even a wince of pain gracing her features because she was so determined, she shot Feather a glance and a brief not before positing herself as close as her daughter as she could without stepping onto the Seastones. She could care less if this wasn't how Gathering were supposed to properly be structured, the combined might of heaven and hell wouldn't be able to pry her away from Springpaw.

Silently, she watched Shadefrost slink off, soon followed by Cougarivy. Cool words and slits for eyes turned to watch Cougarivy's departure. The fact that this cat acted like she had the conflict resolution level that was equivalent to that of a newborn kit, Dovefluff wasn't surprised at what had just transpired. Turning to look at her little Spring, she didn't say anything, just reaching forward to gently nuzzle her daughter's side, before resuming her position beside the stone, like the Sentinel she had become in the past few days, eyes searching the crowd for any other rat that dared approach her daughter.

[ something. Pitou Levi 99 eris GhostlyStarfinder | SuspiciousMindz - hehe just for the hawkie mention ]
Hawkgrowl chuckled at the tom's words. "Hah, I feel you. I am in fact doing the same. For my little sister." He nodded towards Softpaw who was currently speaking with Yellowpaw. "I feel responsible for my parents' deaths, you know? So I feel a need to watch over her, make sure she doesn't get hurt." He sighed, shaking his head. "I know this rant must sound stupid."


A hauntingly familiar scent sent a shiver down Hawkbite's pelt and the tom could only turn his head in time to catch a glimpse of the she-cat that strode past him. Not even a hello, but his pelt was tingling. His green gaze would settle on Dovefluff for a moment before the voice of Hawkgrowl broke him out of that state.

Clearing his throat, the tom would look back at Hawkgrowl and give him an understanding nod. The subject was. . . bitter to him. It nearly made him flinch at the mention of sisters. He'd just lost Vixensnarl. Was this an insult? "I-" Hawkbite's ears flattened and he couldn't quite meet the other tom's stare. "I understand that," his voice was hurt, looking towards Bumblestar as she spoke. The subject change was a welcomed one as he jumped on it. "ThunderClan is murdering each other now, huh? Interesting." Hawkbite spoke, lightening up now.

━━━━━━━━┛ ✠ ┗━━━━━━━━
Oops...
Alright, maybe he was a bit late... But at least he was here! Slipping into the crowd and past unfamiliar cats, Vulturefang found himself looking around the sea of cats. Once he had found his place beneath the Seastones, he took his seat and glanced around at the others. Fallownose was here, unsurprising to be honest. The guy seemed dull and uninteresting, so that meant he had no intention in talking to him. Anyway, with that out of mind, he realized he didn't see the main reason to why he was looked forward to coming tonight. Hmm, where was the little princess anyway? He wanted to gloat about Shadowclans victory, but Alder had made that impossible by not showing his pretty face. That was disappointing... He could brag to Bumblestar... Ehhh, no, it was below him to talk to clowns. Hmmph... This was a drag... He supposed he'd have to lower his standards someday.

Promptly huffing out a short breath, he found his attention pulled to Riverclan. It looked like Gingerstar had filled in the missing ranks with some shiny new faces. Faces that he didn't know, nor care about. He wondered how long these guys would last. He hadn't really seen them before, but who knows? Maybe they would be worthwhile? After some eaves dropping on some conversation, Vulturefang was successful in pinpointing the mollies name. Larkwing. Eh... Once again, he didn't care. And seeing as the small talk wasn't really in session, he decided to bother her later.

Shoulders slouching into a more comfortable position, he half listened to what Thunderclans local 'do gooder' had to say. His full attention only being snagged at what happened to Alderstep.. Or better yet Foxstep. Huh... The poor guy got demoted. Dammit, that meant they're beautifully, flirtatious rivalry would just have to be be deputy vs warrior. Tsk- what a bummer. Once that absolutely soul crushing news had circuited his somewhat disappointed brain, he got over it and went back to ignoring everyone that didn't matter.

Drizzlecloud
Thunderclan
She/her

With Springpaw now seated where she was supposed to, she could heave a sigh of relief, dropping her head to stare down at her paws for a moment. Keep your spirits up, c’mon, you’re supposed to be friendly! Sweetie-pie Drizzlecloud! That’s you.

Turns out, it was difficult to give yourself a pep-talk. Her eyes darted upwards towards Elmshadow, although she hadn’t actually moved her head to look at him properly. She gave him this sort of.. Blank look, something that couldn’t be read. She wanted to greet him–give him a friendly greeting, at least, but she ended up just staring at him. What did it matter, though? It’s not like he ever gave them very kind greetings, anyway. They often just got a nod, they were lucky if he said hello.

Was she just pissed off and taking it out on Elmshadow by giving him weird looks? Yes, yes she was.

“Sorry, spaced out,” A blatant lie, but she hoped that nobody else would catch onto that. She lifted her head to look at the new pair that approached, smelling of Riverclan–what happened to Stonepaw? Well, either way, it looked like she and Springpaw were no longer the newbies of the bunch. It felt oddly gratifying, but she’d be more pleased about it if her apprentice hadn’t so recently been beaten senseless. Instead of making any comments about that, she cast a half-baked smile towards the new pair. “Falconfeather and Tansypaw, it’s very nice to meet you. I’m Drizzlecloud, this is–”

The way that Springpaw tried to introduce herself made her heart break in her chest, and she lifted her tail, resting her tail-tip gently on her apprentice’s shoulder. “This is Springpaw.”

Soon after their appearance came Lightningpaw–blissfully unaware of her new name that she took on, she glanced towards the molly and gave her a nod. “Hey there.”

And… Then the announcements started. Drizzlecloud was silent, she had already heard it all–disappointing and upsetting as it was the moment that she heard about it all. She held a blank expression on her face as she peered up at Bumblestar, a frown adorning her usually joyous features by the time Thunderclan’s announcements had been finished.

Hearing Tansypaw’s words, she slowly turned to look at her. The way that she asked reminded here of how Springpaw had asked almost the exact same question during their first gathering as medicine cats–it made her smile. “What do you two know right now, hm?”

Interesting." Hawkbite spoke, lightening up now.

Hawkgrowl narrowed his eyes as his brows furrowed. The tom's tone was...unlike one he heard normally. He was too lost trying to figure out what the other tom meant by his words when he was snapped out of it. "Always great to hear when another clan suffers," he chuckled dryly, smiling at his dark words. "They're stupid, yet they're always in over their heads. They'll get what's coming to them. We're already on that path." He paused, letting the other cat respond.

She was sitting by herself, listening and grooming herself. He sighed, wondering when this would end. When she'd become a warrior? When she'd become an elder? Truth be told, he knew deep down that he'd be doing this 'til the day he dies. He had thought he'd stop when she would become an apprentice, back in the day, but that was a lie. He kept watching her, kept protecting her. He would never sleep well, knowing she was in a different den, and he wouldn't be fast enough to save her if he had to. At first, back when he became an apprentice, he slept in the nursery with her. But the queens had gotten a little creeped out and worried for their kits, so they kicked him out. Ever since, he had wished he was her littermate, so they could be in the same den all the time. He forced his gaze off of her and to his fellow clan-mate, continuing in the conversation. "How'd you do in the battle?" he asked, gruff voice booming loud and clear.

Hawkbite scoffed at the concern the warrior showed. "If they hear me, so be it. It's not a great example to set, but it is what it is," The Enforcer spoke back, flicking his tail with distaste. The subject changed quickly again; he was fine with that though. "I didn't get to do much this time around. The battle ended nearly as quick as it started," the Enforcer spoke, digging his claws into the ground. "How about you?"

Hawkgrowl bit his tongue before he said anything to the other tom. "Same thing," he replied. It was the truth. He didn't have enough time to kill them all before they all scattered. Mostly he ran through everyone, clawing anyone that got in his way, keeping an eye on his sister the whole time. Thank Starclan she had gotten through unharmed. Barely touched too. Only a couple slight scratches, and that was it! Well, he wouldn't complain. And he knew that his constant concern for his little sister would eventually hurt him, but until then, he'd do whatever it takes. And he was sure the Enforcer would agree, if he had such a strong bond with a little sister like he did. It seemed they had more than one thing in common, and maybe they should speak more. Well, it depended on what the other cat thought.

How nerve wracking it was to be sitting beside this group of experienced healers. And though she's still questioning her leader's decision she will do her best to make sure that he did not make the wrong one. Especially not in the eyes of any other clan. And though these cats seemed nice she can't help but still be a bit hesitant to trust them because of what happened at Cattail Pond. Gingerfrost had been the one to bring her into Riverclan and she had never had a chance to talk to Beanstar before he had died so she wonders if things would be different if he were here right now. How much herb knowledge did he have? How capable was he as a leader? Call it a preference, but for the time being she thought Gingerfrost is doing a better job than most of the others. According to the announcements so far anyway.

She can't help the sad look that she offers the other medicine cat apprentice. It was obvious she was in pain, and it was obvious that there was concern judging by Drizzlecloud’s reaction. Was their appearance that important to them? That they would drag an injured medicine cat to the Gathering like this, barely even able to say a thing? For a moment she wonders just how brutal ThunderClan life really was. The announcements proved her point. Execution. Failed and bloody patrols. And then a heavily injured medicine cat? Tansypaw wasn't going to be one to offer any kind of opinion, especially not to someone as terrifying as Bumblestar, but she couldn't help but wonder what kind of ideals were important to these cats.

Turning her attention back to Drizzlecloud, she takes note of the new smile gracing her features. To say the least, it was comforting to know that the cats she had to talk to were mostly pleasant. Poor Larkwing… She didn’t envy the young deputy one bit, even if she looked as though she belonged there already.

"We don't know much yet. Before coming to Riverclan, I was taught how to use thyme, tansy, and watermint." She glances to Falconfeather before continuing. "Burdock, juniper berries, and goldenrod for him. Could you tell me about some basic herbs for injuries?"

Don’t show weakness Even if she wanted to spill her guts about how afraid of letting someone die she was, she was new blood here. The lowest of the low. No one knew anything about her– she maybe even still reeked of her housefolk home, having only been with the clan for a moon. Her paws begin to nervously knead into the stone beneath them as she worries about the things they’re thinking about her. The things she knows they’ll gossip about once this is all over. Stars, when would it get any easier…

Toby had been long aware of the fact that cats traveled to this spot to hold so called gatherings and honestly he couldn’t care less as long as he could gain information he would be fine. His paws traversed over the shiny wet pebbled that littered the ground as he scampered along. His tics had gotten a lot better or so he had thought but his stuttering and his little yelps and hisses had gotten a lot louder when they happened.

Dunepaw
He shuffled into the clearing nervously his brown eye flicking over a bunch of different cats. The scent was overwhelming and he felt nauseated by just breathing them all in. That’s when he noticed them. A cat with many scars who he had met at the thunderclan border once. Coyotepaw. He trotted over and sat down next to the heavily scarred apprentice his brown eye lingering one their form until his green eyes met his own. Huh? OH! Uh it’s noting just wanted to sit next to someone I know. he mumbled softly.

Coyotepaw
The brown cat was in a sour mood. He was always in a sour mood and had comebacks for days. He eyed the shadowclanners in anger and disgust. You just wait I’ll kick your asses one day. he spat bitterly. Then an orange cat sat down next to him and began staring at him. Turning his head he was met with dunepaws one eye. Last time he had seen this cat he had two. Guess battles really do take things away. What? You need something? he snorted.

Wasppaw
please excuse his bad attitude and snarkyness! Whatever he thinks is his own choice not mine.

The dark tabby cat felt the gravel beneath his paws. The cool cold stones made him wince a little and when he stepped on a sharp one he would hiss in annoyance. Icy blue eyes shot over to cobwebpaw who trodded next to him unspeaking as usual. He took a deep breath then exhaled heavily. This would be his first gathering so if anything he needed to get his ass into gear and show those fur balls he wasn’t afraid. Nor was he afraid to speak his mind and his opinions. Dark stripped tail lashed in the air behind him as he fumbled a bit almost tripping but he carefully caught his balance again and glanced around in embarrassment. Great job wasp! You look like a total moron! he grunted as he pulled himself up through a few cats and away from the more rowdy ones.

Often glancing back to look at cobwebpaw in amusement. He wasn’t much older that wasp was yet he acted like a younger sibling who was trying to copy their older brother around wasppaw. He had noticed this when he had taken shelter beside him when they confronted those water cats at the border. Speaking of water cats he wondered if they would be at this gathering. Form what wasp had picked up from talk was that they didn’t show at the last one so hopefully this one they would show their faces. Especially that orange one. He still had a bone to pick with him. Who knows maybe if he was lucky he could tear that other eye out and make him completely blind one day. He snorted at the thought of this before he was bumped from behind. He quickened his pace so he trotted fairly quickly.

Soon they had arrived at the gathering. God I hate it here. It reeks of so many different cats his ears flattened against his head in disgust. His nose wrinkled as he caught scent of the thunderclan cats. And apparently they had somebody held hostage by ghostpaw? Oh that’s an unusual name. Still he couldn’t care less wasp was wayyyy better than some stinky ghost.

He wishes he could know what the other ShadowClan apprentice was thinking. Looking closely at Wasppaw, he starts to think that the other cat is judging him.

"You look at the me the same way that Darkfall does. Judgy-face." He mews, slightly playfully, offering a smile to the other cat. One of the very few time she acts his age - 6 moons - instead of 16 is when he is with Wasppaw, because the two are friends - kind of. Maybe.

Dapplebreeze nodded, a demure, gentle action. It seemed the tom was being polite, reserved, and keeping well to the truce. It was about time a cat from another clan showed some initiative in letting others know that their clan could follow the code as well. That they weren't just a misfit band of rogues playing clan, much like Shadowclan - and ThunderClan it seemed, of late - were. The former queen had been one of the warriors who had clamored for war when Twilightstar had asked for Beanstar's head. The foolish warrior's crime - for he had been no leader - could not be allowed to stand. At least now there seemed to be a modicum of order, of proper steps being taken to at least act like a clan, with Gingerstar in the lead, as he always should have been from the start.

"Yes, I saw. It is good to see your deputy become leader at last. My sincerest wishes for you and your clan that you have a bright, clan worthy era under his rule," the patched warrior mewed, her eyes on the leader's perch as she pointedly ignored her companion's glare.

The molly was unsure what had brought about that turn of temper for the tom. He had seemed to be playing the same game as she before. That of polite, idle talk as the leaders made their announcements. She hoped she would be able to catch on to what the three remaining leaders said, as truthfully she had been unable to make out much of what the ThunderClan head had spouted before. Perhaps that was what had offended the RiverClanner to the point of glaring in her direction? Dapplebreeze could not be sure, but she stood her ground all the same. Polite as she might be in conversation with other warriors during the gathering, she would not lower herself to apologizing for her mere presence, and that was about all she would have been able to apologize for without context as to what had vexed this tom so.

I just naturally look annoyed I guess it’s the price you have to pay when your parents are over bearing and expect the world from you. he glanced around a few times. Have you been here before?

He nods his head, and looks at Wasppaw in surprise. "Oh, yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't mind!" He says, kind of happy. He can't wait until the two of them can train together. that would be fun. The young apprentice shoots glares at anyone who comes near Wasppaw, his dull olive eyes filled with anger when any of them look at the apprentice the wrong way. One of them smirks, and he bares his teeth at the cat. Cobwebpaw then looks back at Wasppaw and nods his head kind of sadly. "Never had parents. And I hate crowded places as well. It is not fun, being here. I feel as if they're gonna know what is going through my mind-" He stops himself from saying what is going through his mind.

I find it sorta funny as we have always bickered about it and now he’s not even allowed to leave. unsheathing his claws he began to flip over pebbles and stare at what was underneath them.

Cobwebpaw nods his head, and glower at the crab. don't even think about it, pal. he thinks to himself, trying to telepathically communicate with the little crab although he knows that communicating mentally is logically impossible. He then shakes the thought from his mind and turns his gaze back to Wasppaw. He tilts his head and watches the larger and older cat flip stones. He smirks when he sees a little bug come his way, then climb onto his paw. he picks it up and examines it, looking at the intricate pattern on it's body. then, with a quick glance at Wasppaw, he places it back on the ground.

then proceeds to crush it with a slow and sadistic movement. Tilting his head and closing his eyes so he can hear the quiet crunch sound, Cobwebpaw smiles slightly.

He could feel his heart shattering at Springpaw's pained attempt at a greeting, giving the injured apprentice a sympathic smile. As much as ThunderClan and RiverClan hated each other, seeing the calico like this tugged at his heartstrings. No cat should be given such an injury as she got, much less the fact that it pained her to even speak. She was in pain, much pain, and it bothered him he couldn't help her, even if he had herbs because he didn't know what she really needed. Falconfeather turned his head slightly towards Drizzlecloud as he watched her give Elmshadow the stare down, noticing the tension the was pent up in her legs as she side-eyed the ShadowClan healer. He could only guess that the clan of murders was probably the reason why Springpaw ended up in such a fashion. He grinned lightly at the ThunderClanner as she introduced herself and her apprentice. "Nice to meet you too, Drizzlecloud. I'm dreadfully sorry about.. Springpaw." He glanced at the small cat, imagining what he would do if he was her father. I'd rip the cat to shreds and then have their pelt as my nest liner. His face twitched at the thought.

He saw a another calico trot up, smelling strongly of heather, to growing group and gave her a small nod, yet he stood rigid. Since he was just recently appointed, he still held those warrior instincts. WindClan had attacked them only just recently, and he still had some major before with the clan, so he couldn't just be all friendly with the other. His eye twitched as he watched her gaze linger on him and Tansypaw for a moment before moving to somebody else, he forced a small growl down. This was a gathering, there was a truce, and he was a medicine cat. He couldn't show aggression to other clans, at least, not now anyways. Falconfeather forced himself to look away from Lightningpaw and turn his attention to his own apprentice, Tansypaw. Concern crossed his features as the smaller tortie kneaded the ground anxiously, he could almost taste her fear. He scooted closer to her and wrapped his trail around her in an comforting way, smiling softly at her. "You'll be fine," He whispers lowly to her.

"Yes, I only know burdock, juniper berries, and golden rod. That's about it, oh yeah! And I know blessed thistle as well. I would be nice if you'd at least show us some techniques either before or after the gathering, or maybe some during the half-moon meeting, that is, if any of you trust RiverClan enough." He knew some of the clan's had some problems with RiverClan over the past moon, and it was evident in the way that the clans were separated. The healer flicked his tail as he glanced up at the leader's perch, eyes focusing on Gingerstar. He looked.. stiff, or well, tense in a way. Like he didn't belong there. In a way, Falconfeather could empathize with him. He didn't feel like he himself belong up here either. He then glanced down at his younger sister, Larkwing and a small smile found its way on his maw as he stared down at her. Pride warmed his fur at Larkwing, catching the calico's eye and giving her a small shrug. She had come far, farther than what she had though she would. Yeah she was young, but Gingerstar believed in her. Falconfeather believed in her.

He shook his head, clearing his mind. He was getting off track, needing to think more about his own group instead of the other ranks. "I do know, however, how to wrap cobweb around a wound, which is basic but hey, at least I know how to do it. Glad to not have my first patient yet, with both me and Tansy combined we hardly know squat." Was he trying to make small talk? Yeah, maybe. But anything to make it less tense. Stars knows they needed that.

Wasppaw
He yelps as the crab pinches his paw and vigorously shakes it off. He hissed at the animal before flipping it onto its back and ripping off the pinchers. Now pincher-less the crab craws frantically at the air with its legs. He took a moment to study the creature before taking a bite of it while it was still alive. Teeth scrapping against the hard upper shells he bit harder before hearing a satisfying crunch and an awful taste entered his mouth. Rearing back he staggered a bit then threw up on the stones not far away. After throwing up he eyed the crab in disgust. Still licking away the vile taste I had left. I wish all of those things rotted away far from the clans. They taste awful

Just the scent makes him feel sick. His nose wrinkles and he looks at the now-dead crab. Something akin to delight flickers in him dull olive-colored eyes. He then looks at Wasppaw's paw, making sure that the crab had not broken the skin. When he is satisfied that his friend is not hurt, Cobwebpaw nods his head once then smirks at the dead creature. "That would mean one less Clan." He mews after a moment. "Unless the River rats became something else, of course." He is not fond of the rats of the river, as he calls the RiverClan cretins.

A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



Oh, great Starclan, this was so awkward. Sitting on her perch alone, she had never felt more exposed in her life, more vulnerable, more open to stares and ridicule of not only her own clan, but the other three as well. She’d thought the other deputies would be up here by now, but she’d been wrong. ShadowClan and ThunderClan had both arrived before RiverClan, and yet, she saw no sign of Alderstep or Vulturefang anywhere.

And then WindClan arrived, and nearly immediately Bumblestar gave her announcements, impatient and quick to take action as was typical of her, but there was something in her voice that felt a little subdued, and Larkwing learned that Alderstep - no, Foxstep now, had been demoted. Seeing him in her place in the past, Larkwing had never thought that the previous ThunderClan deputy was all that stupid. He had a kind of quiet presence, sure, and he usually just looked tired, but she had never thought him to be stupid. Honestly, she didn’t think any of the deputies were that dumb, so Foxstep must have done something truly horrific and moronic to be demoted - and Bumblestar’s words only seemed to back that up if she were to believe them.

Larkwing… had complicated emotions toward the ThunderClan leader at the moment. She had killed Beansprout - no doubt Gingerstar would bring that up at this gathering - so, purely by technicality, she’s sort of to thank for Larkwing having her new position, but she had also killed their previous leader. He may have been a false leader, sure, and Larkwing may still be trying to come to terms with that and get rid of the paranoia that her clan might think she was keeping secrets from them in the same way Bean had made Gingerstar keep secrets, but… nevermind. No point exploring that mental spiral because, oh boy!! Just the cat she wanted to see! Fallownose of WindClan! Arriving with his clan and not even getting the chance to sit down as Bumblestar spoke!!

Yeah, there was no hiding the tension between the two deputies. Fallownose barely glanced her way, which Larkwing decided she did not care about. She wanted nothing to do with him, still not over how WindClan had attacked them when they were weak like cowards. Sure, of course she could sympathize with the reasons behind the attack, but that didn’t mean she had to be ok with it or with him. So sitting in tense, awkward silence it is!! Yaaaaayyyyyy….

Vulturefang showed up not long after Fallownose, and RiverClan’s deputy couldn’t help but wonder how he managed to be so late to the gathering. Whatever, though, she could at least be cordial with this one, intimidating as he might have been. So she offered him a small nod in greeting, deciding that he was ok for now, as ShadowClan hadn’t done anything to draw her clan’s ire lately and vise versa.

Softdust
(Female-She/Her)
(30 moons)
Softdust stared at the silent cat, wondering if she had said something wrong. "What do you like to do," she asked cautiously, trying to change the subject.

[Estelle]

Oh come on, as if she cared for pleasantries. Gingerstar blankly stared at the ThunderClan leader as she mimed some idle conversation they would never have; the only good thing is that she didn't take too long to finally get to the point. A scouting patrol? He wanted to scoff in her face, remind her that it's Smallpines where they found the distinct scent - not within, what she must be referring to, Rugged Range. Course she'd be too thick-headed to realise that, though. Really, he thought her better than that. Or maybe he was the one failing for not realising they'd been in Rugged Range, too. Either way, he decided to dismiss the subject. Bumblestar claimed they'd keep their paws off RiverClan territory and that's all he cared about, no point in starting a fuss over it.

Soon enough, the long-awaited WindClan leader arrived. His dark green gaze drifted over to the scarred leader, jaws clenching though he gave a respectful nod. The memory of what she said still fresh in his mind, he turned away to face the growing group of cats, silently listening to Bumblestar's announcement. Deaths, foxes (blasted things), byebye grumpy, exiles, aaaaand more death. Didn't seem too out of sorts. Now, what he couldn't quite ignore is the 'visit' the ThunderClan leader planned on paying him. But fine, might as well - long as they stayed where they should be.

Now, he wasn't exactly aware of the protocol for these types of things. Did the leaders speak in a certain order, or did they just decide whoever wanted to speak spoke? Who knew, all he knew was that he wanted to get it over with. So that's what he decided to do. As Bumblestar stepped back, casting a side-long glance at the other leaders, he huffed and finally decided to step up himself. He felt those first-gathering jitters again, but promptly banned them to the back of his mind.

"RiverClan's been doing well enough, all things considered. Our camp flooded some time ago, and though we've faced some trouble - one of them being Beanstar's death - it's nothing we couldn't recover from.

We've lost some cats: Flamebriar, Kestrelskies and Blazekit. Blazekit was likely murdered by some rogue, so keep an eye out for that.

In brighter news, Minkpaw has begun her training and Cloudheart has earned his warrior name.

As you can see, there's some new ranks as well. Stonepaw stepped down, and taking his place are Falconfeather and Tansypaw. Larkwing's our new deputy.

To finish this off, it seems we've had some trouble with cats trespassing on our territory."
He briefly glanced Twilightstar's and Bumblestar's ways.
"Know that that will no longer be tolerated.
That is all."
With that he stepped back, allowing himself to sit down.

Dawnstar semi-dozed once her clanmates stopped pestering the rodents. She yawned and lazily listened to the exchange between Gingerbreath and Bumblebrat before the brat started the gathering. She was mildly interested in the death of Cacklekit, who had to murder a kit in ThunderClan, before being put down. Could have been avoided if Bumblebrat had gotten rid of him the first time he caused trouble, but he was gone now so.

It was nice to hear that they got their foxes, disappointing that they didn't do much damage, but the loss of a moronic deputy was alright, she guessed. At least ShadowClan didn't have to deal with the foxes any longer.

Gingerbreath went next, most of everything he had to say was unsurprising, a bunch of new high ranks and the death of their former leader, she snickered quietly at his attempt to sound like everything was going well in his clan. It took him two whole months to get back here, obviously, that was a lie. The glances he threw at both WindClan and ThunderClan's leader as he meowed about trespassers were funny. What in the world had the fish done to get into trouble with both opposing clans?

Dawnstar was genuinely looking forward to Twilightstar's response to the whole trespassing bit. WindClan was usually pretty passive under her rule, but the bunnies have proven to have a very mean kick when it was called for. Dawnstar was done with the brawling for the time being, so she was going to stay out of that little skirmish for now.

"ShadowClan has a new apprentice, Midnightpaw, and one of our apprentices, Sharppaw has finished her training and earned her warrior name, Sharpfrost." Dawnstar announced, stretching as she took Gingerbreath's place at the front of the stones.

"We lost two of our clanmates, Starrylight and Drippingpelt during a battle. That's it." Dawnstar finished her announcements and glanced over to Twilightstar to finish this up.

"Ugh, don't remind me! Let me live in the vibrant colors of leaf-fall..." he shivered with a teasing smile "It's too soon to think about the cold.."

What would this mean for him and Cow? Probably no more sudden disappearances and sharing prey.. there would be barely enough to go around. He'd most likely be put on more patrols for hunting or herb gathering too. It might be a while during leaf-bare before he would see Cow again.. But it was too early to think about that. He decided to cross that bridge when he came to it.

"Pleasure is all mine, Snowecho," She meowed gently in response, though she seemed surprise at the mention of badgers. "Badgers?" Cherryswirl breathed quietly, golden eyes scanning the others face and scars. There was a hint of almost... admiration(?) behind her gaze as she nudged her nose towards her own pelt. There were some definite fresh scars there,

"You must have been very brave to take on a badger, regardless of the outcome... They're vicious things." Would... would this be too much for Snowecho? She was hoping they would take it as an empathetic share, if anything, "Just a bit after the river, we had a run in with some bone-thin foxes and they still almost made a meal out of us. Two of my clanmates were heavily injured, I feel bad, like I could have done more." She admitted, turning a hesitant gaze back to the other. Her tail brushed the ground behind her as she quickly gave the scars a lick. Shaking herself from the moment of mild guilt, Cherryswirl gave a small smile,

"I don't know if it's something you've thought about already, but why not make new memories? Sometimes, it's better to put the past behind us. But maybe... they'll help you remember? If you want to, of course..." The molly lowered her voice, "Though I definitely don't recommend getting scolded at by Dawnstar - I would terrified." She purred softly in amusement, scanning ahead as the leaders droned on about clan events. Wow, she had really not been listening. All her attention had been on Snowecho. Keeping her voice low, she continued,

"Say Snowecho, If you're looking for some new experiences... I could always show you a thing or two about swimming. You... you showed more promise than I've seen in some cats when it comes to splashing around. Consider it a life debt paid, that way if you ever even think about falling in, I won't be worrying my pelt off." Though there was an edge of playfulness to her whisper, she did seem quite serious. She felt... rather drawn to the other feline. A trauma bond? Maybe... But seeing that he was alright after their initial encounter has sparked something more protective in her belly.

"I always find myself extra damp during Leaf-bare.." he shivered even at the thought of it. "Its all nice and pretty until you start freezing up like an icicle." Featherpelt snorted.

[Moonraven]

Twilightstar, having listened to the clans' announcements, couldn't help but feel her fur bristle at Gingerstar's last announcement. The fox-heart had the audacity to look at her and Bumblestar as he whined about trespassing. Welp, any chances of playing nice or being respectful immediately went done the drain. The fact that Gingerstar decided to leave out why there had been any trespassing in the first place simply told her that he wanted to continue warring. She had been wrong about Gingerstar, he was just as bad as his predecessors.

Fine, her clanmates have been snarling and hissing for RiverClan blood since learning about Shiningskies death, and she even had senior warriors pinning the blame on what happened at the Falls and the Meadow on RiverClan. She's been trying very hard to place the blame elsewhere, but obviously, it was a waste of time and breath. If her cats wanted to tear RiverClan apart so be, she was done defending them.

"WindClan has several new apprentices. Foxpaw, Birdpaw, Beastpaw, Springpaw, and Whisperingpaw." Twilightstar said after she smoothed her hackles and took Dawnstar's place.

"Two of our queens have joined StarClan. Leafpelt was killed in an attack by a hawk and Shiningskies was found by RiverClan's border, submerged in water." Twilightstar hissed and shot a seething glare at Gingerstar. "If I find that your clan had anything to do with Shiningskies' death you'll have a hell of a lot more than mere trespassing to deal with," Twilightstar warned before turning and leaping from the stones.

"WindClan back to camp," Twilightstar ordered, as she led her clan out of the gathering, tail whipping furiously behind her.

Every word that leaves her mouth only seems to surprise him more and more. How was that even possible? Staring over with a curious gaze as she speaks on badgers and whatnot, he can hardly pay attention to her words at all. They struggle and manage, but the look in her eyes and the kind tone of her voice is so distracting... It had been so long since another had offered to him such kindness. And from a Riverclan cat, no less? Not that Shadowclan had any particular quarrel with the water cats as of late but with war on every border they figured that such niceties were off the table completely. But no, he's pleasantly surprised. She commends his supposed bravery. She openly shares the guilt that obviously sits on her shoulders. And then... And then...

The sentence alone could stun them into shock. Eyes wide and jaw slightly parted, he stares dumbfounded, as if she just parted upon him infinite wisdom. Sure he had thought about that. Cast their past life away, far behind them, and move forward given the opportunity to start anew. However, to hear it from another was another thing. He could tell himself all he wanted but deep down he'd never believe his own conviction. Too weak. Too pathetic. Words to himself were nothing but empty comfort. But from Cherryswirl?

It almost sounds like she means it.

An ear swivels as tensions atop the Seastones seemingly begin to rise, Twilightstar shooting a threat at the Riverclan leader for some kind of death debt to be repaid. No matter. That meant so little to him right now. Her voice low, as if the two were apprentices planning their most recent escapade out of camp, she offers to meet him again. Not only that but... To help him? To spend time with him to ease her own worrying? It almost sounded too good to be true. Eye alight with what appears to be excitement, he simply nods dumbfoundedly in agreement to her words before they acknowledge the fact that they've been staring for the past however long and should probably say something.

"I'd... I'd like that... I think I'd like that very much. You... You are very kind, Cherryswirl... Thank you. I don't deserve this."

[Estelle]

Just peachy. He idly listened to the rest of the announcements, noting how particularly unhappy Twilightstar looked at the news of trespassing - and yet something told him that it wasn't directed at her clan, but himself. So much for keeping the peace. Frankly, he wasn't looking to continue this dumb spat Beansprout had started - but if it kept going like this, there may be no choice but to face it head-on. Which - and his gaze darkened at the news - he wasn't pleased to hear about Shinningskies. He'd click his tongue if he could, though he didn't, it was no surprise that the WindClan leader would want to put the blame on RiverClan. After all, rivers were sort of their thing. He'll need to have a serious word with the clan about this, see if anyone actually is guilty - though, he was more inclined to believe it was a mere accident. WindClan left before he mustered a response (he was feeling too out of it anyway), so he may as well call this to an end now.
"We're heading home, RiverClan."
He mew before flicking an ear of goodbye to the other leaders, leaping off the stone behind Twilightstar and nodding to his deputy to take the lead while he'd make sure there were no stragglers.

She/her | 17 moons | Mind Reader - ACTIVE
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



Twilightstar's announcement about Shiningskies was like ice cold claws dragging down Larkwing's back - and the WindClan leader even had the audacity to place the blame for something that could have very likely been an accident on her clan. It would seem this war was going to continue over something as blameless as an accidental death! Surely, Twilightstar, who Larkwing had used to think of as the most levelheadded of the other three leaders, could see the fact that this was a rash conclusion to jump to? Well, no matter, WindClan was packing up and heading back home to their sorry planes, and RiverClan was not far behind them, Gingerstar giving her the signal to lead the clan back home.

With a nod goodbye to Vulturefang and a glance she hopped wasn't too hostile toward Fallownose, Larkwing jumped down from her position and took the lead, glancing back to the gathered group of cats and calling out "Let's head home," in a voice not quite loud enough for those a distance away to hear, but the rest would get the message.

Dapplebreeze remained seated in polite silence with the RiverClanner, her countenance mostly relaxed until the fish eater's leader spoke. It took tremendous will power to not let her hackles raise in an instance. Despite not being one to wish to break the code, believing it to be the only thing that distinguished the clans from rogues, the patched molly was finding it hard not to regret being unable to kill the sad little fish that had dared get in her way the day of the battle. If she had killed the sorry excuse of a cat... if she had gotten to Gingerstar herself... The little tom playing leader would be unable to utter such daring disrespects towards the WindClan leader tonight. Why, if she could, she would rip his throat out where he stood. It would be a nice recompense after WindClan had been cheated Beanstar's life.

Twilightstar let her own words counter the rabid tom's however, and the senior warrior nodded. Good. No more taking such foul abuse from these lesser clans. It was high time that the other clans stopped assuming that WindClan was there for them to get stepped on and commanded by their leaders. They seemed to believe that WindClan's preference for peace was a sign of weakness, but frankly, the former queen had no issue watching the blood of her enemies run down the battlefield if that is what it took to ensure her clan was not trifled with.

Hearing the lilac she-cat's voice calling the clan forward, Dapplebreeze got up, her blue eyes darting coolly to her companion for a moment. It was true that there was tension between both clans. Gingerstar had ensured as much... and after they had potentially killed a queen... who knew if they had to do with the desecration of their graves as well! Still, the tan and cream molly was a proper warrior. She showed respect during times of peace, no matter how tumultuous. Offering a small dip of her head, she bade a silent farewell before rushing off to join her retreating clan.

Bluestone listened to the leaders speak, he frowned as the wind clan leader which... Wait what was her name? Rabbitstar? Skystar? No no skystar was their former leader in river lan. Ah yes twilightstar the windclan leader. He let out a small grumble as the 2 leaders were tensed with each-other, finally gingerstar called the clan together to trek home, he stood up and looked at the wind clan warrior, a simple flick of his tail at the molly was enough to say goodbye while he walked away with his clan

Flock Together [Tier 3] - Inactive

"Lovely ta see your pretty face, Drizzlecloud," the lithe calico mewed in return, offering her more usual, playful smirk at the ThunderClan medicine cat's greeting. "And greetings to the rest of you lot. I would say something along the lines of hoping for a nice, easy going gathering, but... well..."

Lightningstorm allowed her gaze to travel towards the Seastones, her blue eyes pointedly looking at the leaders. She didn't settle on any single feline, simply allowing herself to take in the whole. The tension among the four was palpable, and the healer could swear she saw bolts of lighting dancing amongst them, threatening to light them all into a burst of flames at the slightest of outbursts. Was this just her mind playing tricks on her? Had that vision affected her so? Allowing the smile she'd displayed to falter, she adopted a more somber semblance once more, tail giving a slight tap on the stone beneath her.

The spotted she-cat had every intention to properly greet the RiverClan medicine cat and his apprentice once their leader had introduced them, but instead she found herself holding back a groan, the urge to run her dainty paw across her face held back only by the fact that she was still there, representing her clan. She had to be in her best behavior. But bloody hell, what was it with these leaders wanting to make the most enemies possible as soon as they got their lives? Bumblestar and Beanstar had made a right mess of their introductions, and it seemed Gingerstar wanted to follow the same course as his predecessor. A less than stellar first impression, if she was to be honest, if only because of how feather-brained it made him seem. It was clear the clan had been seeing terrible times with the state they were in when WindClan attacked. Why poke the badger even more when they had just recovered enough to even show up to the starsdamned gathering in the first place?

The wolverine made her own announcements, nothing seeming out of the ordinary. There was a battle, and two lives were lost. No doubt against ThunderClan, considering the state of both their leaders. Lightningstorm couldn't help but now wish she had been paying more attention to the hot headed leader when she'd first arrived, but didn't dwell long on it. Anything of import she would find out about sooner or later, in any case.

She did note, however... that once again, her appointment as medicine cat had not been stated by the lilac molly. There had been no official announcement during her first gathering concerning her having taken up as Cowtuft's apprentice. It seemed the same was repeated here, and there would be no announcement of her gaining her full name. She had expected the silent, uncaring reception she'd gotten from her clanmates. WindClan as a whole was full of cats who cared little about anything that was not directly related to them. And yet to have been tossed to the side by Twilightstar when every leader she'd seen since had announced any change in ranks stung more than she cared to admit. She wondered if it was a tactic of sorts. If Twilightstar just preferred to give as little information as possible. It was smart if so, yet she couldn't help but feel as big as a gnat as the recipient of such tactics.

Deciding to swallow her pride and forget about it, Lightningstorm got up at the long furred Oriental's claim that they were leaving. No reason to hang around longer than required. She was not invested in the conversation the medicine cats were currently partaking in, and frankly, she just wanted this night to end. Still, no reason to show any weakness, she supposed... Before leaping, she turned to the gathered healers, a cheeky smirk in her maw as she winked at the group.

"Would love to stay and chat, but seems that's my cue to up and run. Don't go too wild after I leave, you little cheeks," the molly purred in a teasing voice, her gaze landing only momentarily on Springpaw as she offered the wounded apprentice a more formal nod before bounding off into the night.

The gathering went about as expected, and Snowybreeze was only grateful that the only tension seemed to be with the leaders on their perch above. The Maine Coon mix had felt himself gulping uncomfortably as the new RiverClan leader made a point of staring at both ThunderClan's and WindClan's heads, and sure enough, Twilightstar did not take the warning standing down. Mismatched ears perked up as she called the clan forward, and the gentle giant couldn't help but sigh in relief. With the looks most of the leaders seemed to be exchanging, he had been terrified that the truce would be broken. Eagerly, the patched warrior followed after his clan, keeping well to the back, making sure none of his clanmates got left behind.

Didnt deserve it? The statement made her sad to hear, her gaze softening as she studied Snowecho's expression. What would make them think something like that? Regardless, she was determined to help him feel otherwise. Cherry cared! She thought he was more than deserving of her help! Even though she had been reserved and standoffish in the initial meeting - granted the stakes had been severely different - she was glad to see Snowecho appearing more comfortably. Just as she was about to open her mouth to respond, the call that RiverClan was heading home rang in her ears,

"Oh - meet me by the border on the night of the half-moon if you would still like. I can bring you to a gentle part of the river. Hoping to see you then, Snowecho." Her voice was soft, a playful smile resting on her maw as she rose to her paws, "Stay safe, don't go getting yourself into trouble." And with that, she dipped her head respectfully to the other warrior and began slowly making her way from Seastones with her clan.

Wasppaw
The dark gray and black tabby Tom glared at the passing cats his orange eyes gleaming with distaste’s and disgust. He hated the other clan cats dearly but couldn’t help but feel a pull towards the riverclan cats or as he put them the fish cats. Feeling a dull pain in his paw he looked down to see he had stepped onto a sharp rock at some point and his paw had a small scratch on it. Examining the cut he found himself bemused with it for a little while until orange fur caught his eyes.

Dunepaw! eyes gleaming in excitement he got to his paws and signaled to the orange cat to join them. He looked extremely uneasy but he padded over anyway and this made wasp smile brightly. hey no hard feelings fish cat? It’s the gathering we are at momentary peace. the single eyed orange cat glanced at the ground his paws shifting from side to side. He was definitely uncomfortable being around him and wasppaw was very aware of this. Wasppaw glanced at his lackey cobweb’paw the other Tom didn’t seem to be very interested in the orange cat like wasppaw was.

Freezing his head shot up and stared at the dark gray apprentice who was staring him down. He immediately felt uneasy he looked at the other cat as well seeing if any hostility was there. After being waved over he cautiously padded over keeping his muscles braced.

Y-yeah I guess he muttered quietly. His brown eye twinkled at the mention of peace and he relaxed slightly. If this cat knew what peace was then it would truly be a miracle and he could have a break from running for his life and having to claw at others.

Cobwebpaw sees the orange cat - Dunepaw. That cat means nothing to him, so he only blinks at him. Blinks, and does not utter a word. There is nothing that he can do or say - he does not like the RiverClanners. Or Thunderclanners. He's never met a WindClanner, however, but he thinks he's not going to like them either. But, he shrugs, and looks at the other apprentices. too bad i couldn't just be... alone.

It feels like some kind of dream. A dream he didn't deserve. He knows that this meeting of theirs is definitely against some kind of rule-- which one, he can't remember for the life of him-- but part of him didn't... Care. It felt a bit rebellious, to say the least, a feeling he can't remember having felt in a very long time. As she bids her farewell, words so playful and carefree, he can't help the awkward smile that worms it's way onto his face. When had they last smiled? It felt so out of place but he can't stop himself. Unable to scrape together words fast enough to bid her a proper goodbye, they only manage to raise a paw in farewell, ears perked and stupid looking smile still in place.

Once more, this gathering was as boring as the last one. He could care less about anything and just wanted to be home, in his nest, asleep. He hated making niceties with others he couldn't care less about, nor did he have the energy to deal with them. So when Twilightstar announced WindClan's leave, and RiverClan following soon after, Falconfeather let out a small sigh of relief. Thank the stars we're leaving, LET'S GOOOO.. He would wait, of course for the rest of the clan and others to leave to follow suite, because he would wait on Tansypaw, but that didn't mean he was going to just sit there like a bump on a log. Giving the others a forced, polite smile, the RiverClan healer whispered something in Tansypaw's ear before slipping off to mingle with the ThunderClan and ShadowClan while he would wait for Tansypaw to get ready to leave.

Was he searching specifically for somebody? Not really, but a certain beautifully silky chocolate tabby caught his eyes as he watched her, mesmerized once more like he was when they first met. Green eyes stared dreamingly at Brackenfire as he wished he could catch her eye as he pushed deeper in the crowd towards her. Should he be doing this? No, but he had to see her again, hold her again. If he could just get her alone for two seconds..

[silver.]

Huh... The Windclan medicine cat certainly was an interesting character. Wonder where she got that moxie from. Winking at them all, leaving them with a cheeky little comment... For some reason it rubs her the wrong way. Not in an "oh, I totally hate her now" kind of way, but... Definitely a cat she would have to keep an eye out for. Was it confidence? Was it humor? Whatever the cause of the attitude, Tansypaw would keep the curiosity tucked in the back of her mind for their next meeting. Maybe then they would get a real chance to talk instead of her making an idiot of herself.

Even if her clan was beginning to depart, the young she-cat stays put. Getting this knowledge was important for Riverclan! If she could be a better healer, then she would make the effort. But then Falconfeather whispers something to her-- it was so sudden and quiet she could hardly make his words out at all-- and slinks off. Her eyes trail after him curiously and follows his gaze toward a cat she didn't recognize... A friend, maybe? An ear twitching, she allows her attention to linger on him for a moment longer before looking back at Drizzlecloud and Springpaw. The question now was would she share her information with Falconfeather or not? It wasn't fair of him to sneak off while she was here being responsible, gathering knowledge. Why should he get off easy? Huffing to herself, a small smile is offered to the Thunderclan healers once again.

"Like he said, our knowledge is... Really limited. If it's not too much trouble do you mind staying back for a little while and, uh... Helping me out? Maybe some basic stuff, useful stuff-- I just..."Don't finish that sentence, Tansypaw. You don't want to look weak in front of these cats. "... Yeah. Whatever you're willing to offer, I will take gratefully."

She didn't usually come to gatherings, but she had a very good reason to be here tonight. Speaking of that good reason, there he was. Moonlight washed over his sleek silver and gray pelt and she felt enchanted, his green eyes sweeping over the crowd until she caught his eye. She suddenly didn't care if they got in trouble. She didn't care if her mother tore her throat out for this. (well, maybe she would mind a little- it wasn't preferable but the risk was worth the reward) Watching as he made his way across the Seastones she glanced up at Dawnstar and then slipped through the crowds to meet him, keeping her expression indifferent but her eyes sparkled at seeing him again.

"Hello there, you're from RiverClan, yes?" She asked, purring playfully but as quietly as she could. They probably shouldn't be so open about it, but pretending to be meeting for the first time was the only way that she could be sure that they wouldn't be caught. "How's life, Stripes?" She wanted to bury her face in his face and wrap herself in his embrace, but naturally she couldn't really do that, unless she wanted to be torn apart by her leader.
