His eyes glinted. "And, Flowernose is pregnant again." He whispered.

She's... what?

Now that fact struck Antpaw like a monster on the Thunderpath. His mom. Pregnant. With kits? He was going to be an older brother?

"How many?" He whispers, then pauses, "Do we even know? Are you sure?"

AND IT NEVER MADE ANY SENSE, ANYTHING

MAGGOTPAW . 6 MOONS . IT/THEY . WINDCLAN

Maggotpaw lights up like sunlight when Antpaw appears to oblige, nodding quickly as if to agree with the compliments that it had been demanding to hear in the first place, only...only then the grouchy acornbrain goes and ruins it by being rude again. Maggotpaw gasps, slips a strangled laugh out, feigns a look of horror to compensate, and is getting ready to dig this hole that much deeper—but an older cat intervenes and apologizes on Antpaw's behalf, which then prompts the younger cat to apologize, too.

Maggotpaw goes silent, staring at Hawkthorn like some dead-eyed shark in the water. "It's okay. I was making—Antpaw—feel better. We're friends now," it lies because it can; story of Maggotpaw's life. It'd keep the fib rolling but the two are heading off, now, finding some other place to sit. Maggotpaw doesn't follow this time. The game only works when it's another apprentice; warriors are no fun. So, they leave the pair alone and go back to sitting up straight and looking all polite and darling (one hell of a feat, seeing as Maggotpaw's always been a tad unfortunate looking, overall).

All it has to do now is just stay very still, pay good attention to the important cats when they start to talk, and wait very very patiently, but that...well, who knows if that's really going to happen.

Slugpaw
TC ~*~ 6 moons

WOW. Riverclan cats were a lot. She couldn't help but wonder if every day was this chaotic in their camp. That was probably a question she should keep to herself. She expression changed as she listened to Salamanderpaw talk. What a fox heart! You can't just call cat's heads dented when you first meet them! It wasn't nice! She flattened her ears and stuck her tongue out at Salamanderpaw. "My head's not dented! I've never even climbed up a tree before I was just giving out relevant information. There's no need to be such a meanie Mcgrumpygrouch! Plus Mistyheart would never drop me! She's the smartest bestest mentor ever! Sorry if your Riverclan mentors aren't the same." She huffed. She wasn't yelling, but her voice was doused with a healthy amount of annoyance. Were all Riverclanners this rude? What got stuck under her paws? In fact now that she was closer to them, they all seemed on edge. One of them even jumped when their friend came to say hi. Were they ok? Why are they looking at me like I'm about to bite their heads off? Am I not being friendly enough?

Poor Rainpaw looked so lost. She couldn't blame her! The poor molly just walked into a crazy situation! Shellpaw didn't seem to know what to do with himself either. She couldn't help but feel bad for them. She gave them a bright smile. "It's nice to meet you! I'm Slugpaw!" She turned away for Salamanderpaw and towards Rainpaw and Shellpaw. She had so many questions! She didn't want to give up now! "Do all Riverclanners have cool water names? Thunderclan doesn't have insect names, that's just me! Which name's your favorite? Oh Oh! If you could choose your warrior name what would it be?" Her squeaky voice, got a little squeaker with her excitement. She wouldn't let Riverclan's jabs get the best of her good time!

[This is so fun I'm loving this! ]

Heroneye
| she/her | RiverClan | Lionheart |

Heroneye blinked at Softpaw, being snapped back to reality by her apprentice's voice. She silently followed the other cat's gaze, and she was hit with a pang of sympathy as she recalled Willowtail's past. To be honest, she wasn't entirely sure how she could answer Softpaw's question without sounding like she was dismissing her cousin's feelings. It was only natural to be angry, to be sad, to want revenge, but one just couldn't. In order to coexist with the other Clans, one would have to put all those emotions aside, difficult as it may be.

"I don't know," Heroneye replied quietly, "but we'll all have to do our best to keep the peace. None of us are particularly happy with the other Clans right now, but we can't be having another war now, right?" She didn't really have any concerns with Softpaw causing trouble; this was just as much of a reminder to herself as to the apprentice. It really was so difficult to pretend like nothing had ever happened, but she'd do it a hundred times over if it meant staying in her birthplace. In any case, she'd have to keep a close eye on Willowtail to make sure she didn't do anything she'd regret.

Heroneye's head tilted upwards as she noticed the other Clans trickling in. Time to actually interact with another Clan, preferably without causing a massive, forest-wide war.

"Why don't you try talking to one of them?" Heroneye prompted gently, flicking a tail tip at the other groups. She wanted the apprentice to get used to handling herself during a Gathering, including having positive (or neutral, at the very least) interactions with them.

"Oh, and remember what Fadingstar said," she added in a low voice. She didn't expect Softpaw to go around sharing Clan secrets or anything, but she really didn't want her winding up executed. So she gave a small reminder, just in case.

Now that fact struck Antpaw like a truck. His mom. Pregnant. With kits? He was going to be an older brother?

"How many?" He whispers, then pauses, "Do we even know? Are you sure?"

Hawkthorn shook his head. "She went to the medicine den earlier for her stomachaches and Wolfhive told her she was pregnant." He explained and frowned. "They didn't tell her how many." He meowed.

Hawkthorn sighed. "I should've noticed the scent. I guess I just got too used to it." He muttered.

Her first gathering! How exciting! Despite an innate sense to feel sorta betrayed by the other clans, she didn't want that to ruin her night. None of the other clans had seemed to arrived, and really, many of the Riverclan cats weren't too happy with the other clans.

Cricket'Paw gazed at the surrounding area, it was open enough to where the clans could easily fit in. Not much else stood out to the energetic apprentice.

"I guess I'll just sit over here." Her mumble was halfhearted, and she shifted her dainty paws to move to an open spot, not crowded by Riverclan cats. It wasn't that she didn't want to be around them, it was the fact she had been anticipating some sort of excitement.

The journey wasn't something she remembered all that great, so it wouldn't be hard to stay quiet about it, or the other stuff either. Well, Cricket'Paw was known to be a chatterbox, so some stuff might be difficult, but she'd be fine... Right?

First he had been nervous coming along to this Gathering, then it just so happened that his sister disappeared to who knows where like the extrovert she was, to talk to all the other clan cats. She was a whirlwind of energy, his sister, and Bouncepaw had no idea how she was making friends so easily; but that was just how she was, unlike Bouncepaw. He was left alone. In this gigantic crowd of fur and tails, not knowing where to sit or where to go.

"I'm so tired already," Bouncepaw mumbles, cautiously walking around, trying not to accidently step on anyone and cause a fight. Some of the warriors looked really big and scary, as if they could swallow him up in one bite if he disturbed them. Bouncepaw gulps.

He soon finds a decent spot that not's too crowded. No big, scary cats nearby, either, or at least from what he could see. Some Riverclan cats were mixed in, but it was better than being absolutely surrounded by cats. The smell was... unique, but he could ignore it.

"Hello?" He meows hesitantly to an apprentice he sees nearby. Riverclan? He didn't recognize them. "Is it okay if I sit here? I'm Bouncepaw."
