Well, they were late. Mistlewhisker was a cat who valued punctuality, and looking bad in front of the other clans was something she could not tolerate. But the cold had turned even-tempered Mistlewhisker into a sharp edge that, at this point, didn't care about anything other than making sure this Gathering went smoothly, and no ShadowClan cats caused any issues.

The Deputy joined the gaggle of high ranks below the stones, settling down with Crowtooth and Spiderthroat on either side of her. Seemed Owltalon had been promoted to Leader. A shame, Mistlewhisker had thought Stormstar would actually amount to something, what with her bluster and all.

Turning her attention back to the gathered clans, Mistlewhisker sought out the pelts of Dawnstar's kittens. Mistlewhisker had been informed by the young Emberpaw that Dawnstar had told them Mistlewhisker was their second mother. That definitely did not send the black feline into a whirlwind of affection, surprise, pride, and fear. If these kittens were really (partially) hers now, then why were they so trouble-prone!!!! (Says the cat who got her eye plucked out by a badger like the week after she was made a warrior). She swore, it was like they actively sought out problems.

Bumblestar's growled complaint earned Mistlewhisker's wry attention as the ThunderClan Leader launched into updates. The ShadowClan Deputy felt her lips tugging downwards at the mention of a plague. Plagues were deadlier than any conflict, and it seemed the losses had been somewhat devastating. Hadn't Redhawk and Wolfhive been Hornets?

But then, ohhh but then. Mistlewhisker's one-eyed gaze traveled between the new RiverClan Leader, the single Medicine Cat, and Bumblestar. So, the grey molly of the medicinal duo had been visiting ThunderClanners in their dreams. Inadvisable at best, war-starting at worst. And it seemed the worst was on its way. Mistlewhisker allowed her gaze to slide to Crowtooth, brow crooking upwards.

How long had it been since their last Gathering? The cold made all the moons blend together. Mistlewhisker had been hoping for a little time to chat with her fellow Deputy--she had to brag (not brag, Mistlewhisker was beyond bragging)... share about her successful patrols this past moon. But oh well. The Gathering would be an interesting one regardless.
