Larkswoop - ThunderClan Warrior
Killer Aptitude Tier 3
Flock Together Tier 3
Lyrebird´s Lullaby
____________________

Spotting a light gray tabby in the crowd, Larkswoop found her paws and headed over to the other warrior. RiverClan scent hit her nose, and she tried her best not to wrinkle it in disgust.

´´Hello,´´ Larkswoop mewed softly, settling down by....what was it? It was a RiverClanner she had never met. ´´I´m Larkswoop. Of ThunderClan. And you are?´´

”There’s no one in ThunderClan that interests me enough to settle down quite yet.” He mused. He would occasionally flirt with Sunnystreak but 1. he was also a tom and 2. It was mostly just to get him flustered. Raggedear just liked riling others up (and giving compliments of course!). Besides, Sunnystreak was a good sport about it…kind of. Ah, he’d warm up to him.

( @Luna16 - just for the brief tormenting Sunny mention LOL )

The russet warrior had half a mind to make a joke about his and Scorpionsight’s kits, but even he knew that would be crossing a line this soon. ”Don’t worry, you still got a chance.” He purred, daring to playfully touch his nose to her ear. ”But if you forget about me across the border, I’m sure if you have any kits they’ll be just as beautiful as you.” Nailed it. Once again he let out a hearty laugh, but his tone was genuine.

Scorpionsight-She/Her
26 Moons


----------------------


But surprising that he hadn't quite found any cats to settle down with in his clan yet, but maybe she was just surprised because of his charm.

Speaking of charm, Scorpionsight absolutely froze up when he got close and complimented her again.
And still has a chance?
What's that mean?
She cleared her throat before loosening up again, though eye contact was a thing she was unable to manage now "You are too sweet, you know that?" She managed nervously.
Thing is, the nervousness only came from her freezing up before. Other than that, she was oddly comfortable around Raggedear.

But she is not use to so many compliments.

Vinepaw
He/Him
9 Moons
Windclan tunneler apprentice

Vinepaw’s anxiety began to fade as he watched Burningpaw’s lively excitement. “Yeah, gatherings can be pretty crowded,” he said with a warm smile. “It might feel overwhelming at first, but it’s all part of the experience. Just try to enjoy the night and meet new cats.”

When Burningpaw asked about WindClan, Vinepaw’s eyes lit up with enthusiasm. “WindClan’s territory is mostly open moors. There’s a lot of space for running and hunting, and the freedom of the land is amazing. It can be chilly with the wind, but our camp is well-sheltered and warm.”

He paused, his expression softening as he spoke about his role. “I’m a tunneler, so I spend a lot of time underground, managing the tunnels beneath our camp. I actually love it. There’s something really satisfying about working in the tunnels—maintaining the safety and function of our camp from below. It’s not as glamorous as running on the moors, but it’s a crucial part of our clan’s safety.”

Vinepaw’s smile faltered slightly as he continued. “My father, Spiraltail, didn’t quite share my passion for tunneling. He preferred the open moors and eventually left for RiverClan, feeling that WindClan wasn’t the right fit for him. It was tough, but I’ve come to embrace my role and take pride in it. It’s where I feel I can truly contribute to my clan.”

He glanced around at the gathering and then back at Burningpaw. “If you ever get the chance, you’d probably enjoy the open moors. And don’t worry too much about the crowd tonight. Just enjoy the experience and meeting new cats. How’s your first gathering going? Are you finding it as exciting as you hoped?”

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Dusklion - RiverClan Deputy

Upon looking back out through the crowd, there were a few things that the deputy noticed that made her want to bristle. The first was the murdering rat approaching Golds and Marigoldpaw - and thankfully the black and gold Lionheart had enough sense to keep the 'paw away from the vermin. Her blue eyes narrowed though, even after the 'paw and her mentor moved away. Oh, how she would love to sink her claws into that dark fur again, shred it until there was nothing recognizable left... It did make her heart happy to see them rattled by their leaving though. A small satisfaction she tucked away to revisit later.

A high pitched screaming was next to swing her head to the bottom of the rocks, blue eyes round as moon as she watched a... kit? Two kits?? Yowling about? ...It was difficult (read: impossible) for Dusklion to stop the corners of her maw from twitching up into a smirk as she glanced at the ThunderClan deputy. So that was his kid? The absolute mess of words that spilled from the youngsters mouth made her want to roll with laughter, but she simply looked between the two, watching as Bumblestar ordered the deputy home and Spiderthroat descended the rocks.

She was certain that there was some sort of snarky remark she could make - something something camp security lacking these days? - but Dusklion just turned and looked out over the crowd of cats again. With Spiderthroat now gone though, and the two other deputies locked into conversation...


...Yeah, that loneliness didn't feel good, so Dusklion shoved it into the furthest corner of her mind so she didn't have to feel how it squeezed her chest tight.

Below where the medicine cats were seated, the deputy watched as what appeared to be a young apprentice snuck up on them. A rebuke already coming to her mind, the deputy was relieved when she realized it wasn't a 'paw she recognized, so she must be from one of the other Clans. Good.

Eyes drifitng around again, they found Wists and Cobs in the crowd, another wave of relief washing over her as she saw they were both fine. But then Wists was... moving away? Had... Had Cobs said something to her? Told her to leave?? Muscles tensed from where she sat on the rock, alarm bells flaring in her mind as Wists looked towards the rocks and... she looked terrified. Was it because of her?

Shame burned her ears at the thought, but then... her blue eyes flickered over to the WindClan deputy next to her. Was she... afraid of him? For what reason? ...It was hard to stifle the anger as she looked back to - what the hell was a squirrel doing approaching Wists??. It took every bit of will power for Dusklion to remain on the rock where she was, thankful that her tail was wrapped around her paws so no one would see the way her claws slid out against the stone. She continued to watch the conversation from where she sat, hoping the squirrel would give her a reason to leap off these stones and drag her away from her best friend.
