Fallownose's ears lightly twitched as Ivysnake shook herself and sprayed him with some water, but other than that, he gave no reaction. He didn't care for the pettiness of ShadowClan, and the rain had pretty much soaked him already. Gingerfrost leading an apprentice by the name of Stonepaw to the medicine cats was interesting. Had something happened to Fawnlight? He hoped not; the molly was sweet and seemed like a good fit for RiverClan, unlike Snakeheart had been.
The commotion with an outsider drew his attention, especially when Dawnstar herself got off the Seastones to deal with it. Surprisingly, the deputy actually agreed with ShadowClan's methods for once. Instead of messing around like the ThunderClanners seemed to be doing, one of the ShadowClan warriors immediately leaped on the outsider in a challenge. Fallownose was ready to turn his attention away when the outsider fled, but not before threatening Berryfrost's life. His daughter's life.
The slate-gray tom was quick to hop off the Seastones and make his way through the crowd to where he had disappeared. It didn't seem like Gingerfrost was going to join him any time soon, Thrushfur didn't seem talkative, and ShadowClan still didn't have a deputy, so there wasn't much of a point of just sitting there when Berryfrost clearly needed someone.
"I won't let anything happen to you," he said softly to the she-cat as he padded up beside her in the crowd, his tail moving to curl around her and draw his daughter closer to him.
Was there ever going to be a day that Berryfrost was left not thanking the stars for the wondrous family they'd bestowed upon her? The remorse and sadness that had wanted to engulf her heart mere moments before had disappeared to the fog, for Fallownose had appeared at her side, sharing his warmth and love and all else with her. Fallownose had left his spot, for her, as if she was someone special, and if she hadn't already been weeping, Berryfrost would have wept with emotion now. Burying herself willingly into the deputy's side, Berryfrost felt her body shake with quiet tremors. In the end, all she could do was whisper a simple; "Thank you." and then proceed to tune out the rest of the world. She was safe, with her father, and that was all that mattered.

His mind...didn't stay in one place for too long. That, and it's getting colder by the minute. Sagepaw kinda wanted to get back to the pines, now. Maybe. No, yeah, definitely. The tom shook some rain droplets from his whiskers, idly listening to the leaders. Hre couldn't really focus anymore, not with all of these cats and stuff just being there. This happened so often at meetings like this. Not that Sagepaw minded.
Mintpaw's voice jolted the 'paw's attention back to her. "Awh, already? Well, okay. It is cold and I kinda wanted to go anyway, but that's not the point!" Sagepaw flicked an ear, then rose to his paws. He looked pretty friendly, other than being a soaked kitty. "Y'know, I don't think we'll really meet as 'paw's again. Or ever again. Maybe," he said, squinting his eyes. How did gatherings work when one was a warrior? Could they still go make friends? Sagepaw hoped so. "Actually. I dunno. But nice seeing ya!" Offering a purr of goodbye, he walked past Mintpaw with every intention of brushing against her pelt. Still, he left some room for her to dodge if she wanted. C'mon, Sagepaw wouldn't force a fish-cat to cuddle up with him. Even if he was cold and had been attempting to glean some quick warmth on his way out.
