The warrior emerged from whatever gloomy-looking crag he'd been looming in at the leader's call, glare fixed on his ruined face. He was angry. This was not what he'd come back to Riverclan for. Not that he regretted it in any way, this was his home. But he sure as hell wasn't please. The former Lionheart scanned the faces of his clanmates, having been on edge since the incident with Aspensplash. Not only had his leader's life been nearly claimed, but he'd been put up as scapegoat. Perhaps this is what he deserved for being gone for so long. He supposed that did make the accusation more believable. Snarling to himself, the burly warrior took up a seat near the back of the crowd, amber eye glowing in mistrust.
Fadingstar looked terrible. His eyes were dull and his ribs jutted out from under his pelt. But she supposed he was lucky to be alive after consuming an amount of poison that would have killed most cats. StarClan must be protecting him, protecting them, after all. Despite how silent they seemed in the face of RiverClan's suffering, they had reached out to keep the leader alive and prevent them from spiralling into chaos. That gave her hope, at least. Maybe things would be okay after all.
Irisfrost sat down and waited for the meeting to start, wondering what Fadingstar had to say. Dusklion had already announced the attack, so that couldn't be it. Maybe it was a regular clan meeting. He was certainly in no shape to resume his normal duties, but this wasn't a strenous activity. Berrypaw (she was about to say Mistyshard, but she hadn't been around, had she?) must have cleared him for that.
Redwater looked up, her dull eyes focusing on her leader. Fadingstar looked drained. Even sad. Red was no stranger to sadness. She picked herself up, plus all her shattered hopes and dreams and padded loyally to the meeting spot. Her fur was ragged, and it’s normal shiny red color faded to a grayish scarlet. You could see her rubs from fox-lengths away, and her whole being was just aching and sad.

A meeting. Another meeting. One lead by Fadingstar, who looked stars-awful from the assassination attempt. He had been through a lot on the return home and the leaving it seemed, having a near death experience not once but twice. It made Goldfish's stomach clench tightly and she felt like gagging up the bile in her throat but instead she just pressed it down, for it was simply the feeling of disdain that had it rising up. Oh, it wasn't hard to spot one familiar pelt in the crowd. She had admired it the meeting The Ace of Spades had become a lionheart. A red brown russet shade she hadn't ever seen before. But since the tortie knew how much she had formerly upset redwater she felt almost indebted to befriend her and make it up to her. Not to mention compliment the molly on her pelt color but that was simply her common sense speaking.
After a small pause Goldfish quickened her step to a trot as she approached the warrior, offering her a brief tail flick of greeting. "Hey." She greeted simply, lowering her haunches and curling her tail to sit down beside her. Goldfish wouldn't bring up how she had kept her at the other meeting as she wasn't intent on bringing back hard feelings and ruining her chances, so instead she simply fixated her golden hues on the scarred feline for a moment, offering a small smile before looking back up at her tortoiseshell leader. "Say, I don't think I ever got the chance to compliment you on your fur. It's a pretty color, I've never seen any cat with a solid pelt that shade." She mewed friendlily, but her mother was spotted that shade when she had first seen her around the two moon mark. She had no memories of when she was a moon Old to be expected as she was thirty moons old, that was a long time back.

◇ Baneberrypaw ◇ ◇ The Storyteller ◇ Purrks: None ____________________
Ears pricking up at her leaders call, Baneberrypaw opened her sky blue eyes and glanced around briefly forgetting where she was before remembering. Right.. at the twoleg den. Glancing around briefly the tortoiseshell apprentice rose to her paws and shook the drowsiness from her fur. She hadn't slept too well last night but hadn't had the energy to do much today anyways. She was a bit sore from running amuck all day yesterday. The Storyteller stretched each leg In turn, accompanied by a massive gaping yawn which showcased her gleaming sharp teeth. Lowering her head to walk properly Bane trotted over to the gathered cats and sat down briefly, eyes staring upward at her leader and ignoring the cats around her. Oh... oh, stars Fadingstar. He looked horrible. So horrible. It sent a shudder through her shoulders that left her paws trembling. Who would do that to him? She loved him, he was a massive role model to her.
W-who would do such a thing? Why? What had he done to deserve that? Her lip was trembling as Baneberrypaw suppressed tears and looked down at the ground, trying to blink them away from her sober, miserable eyes. It felt so wrong to see him in such a state and it left her claws unsheated and dug into the ground to stay relaxed. Deep breaths, Bane. In, out. Calm down. Calm down. Don't cry, don't cry. Be happy and cheery and smiley for him. Don't let him see you. Don't let him see you like this, don't let anyone see you this way because then Fadingstar would see her like that and that'd be simply horrible with the tortoiseshell leader in his current state especially.

Spiraltail
27 Moons
He/Him
Spiraltail padded up his mind in a different realm. He looked up to Fadingstar he took in his leader's slim form something had definitely happened. He was slightly concerned though it would be of no use to mention it to one of his clanmates he hated the sight.
Once settled in he looked around for a cat he had yet to talk to he wanted to prove to others he wasn't a shifty Windclan cat and that he was now Riverclan though he knew they had reason to hate him but he did save Fadingstar so that has to count for something.
