Stormstar - RiverClan Leader

After having grabbed five fish off the fresh-kill pile and making her way towards the elder's den, Stormstar poked her head in and swept her gaze around for any elders present. Faint whispers of their knowledge being rather expansive swirled in her mind from the days she would get her stories from O/tterfluff, and now with the problem in the river the leader was determined to get to the bottom of how to solve their issue.

Stepping further into the den, Stormstar dropped the plump fish at her paws and offered a small grin to the elders there, as well as a deep duck of her head in respect. "Hey, guys. Figured I'd bring you some prey 'n see how you're all holdin' up after everythin'." The leader wanted to make a habit of visiting the elders more frequently, if only to pay her respects for their moons upon moons of service.

...Plus, it wouldn't hurt to prode them for their knowledge on these otters.

[ @Tallstar @HerbalTea @Bluest+r~ @Rani @Honey_Dreamz - this roleplay was mainly for rani's elder, specifically created for storm to receive knowledge of the otters in the rivers, but decided i'd change it up a bit into storm coming in to check on all the elders. no need to respond if you don't want to though! ^^ ]

"Greetings, Stormstar," Miresong greeted his leader with some happiness in his voice. "How can we help ya?"

CLOUDSONG

Cloudsong's head slowly lifted up. "Greetings, Stormstar." He muttered and dipped his head, eyes hazy after just waking up. "I'm good. Thanks." He meowed.

Waterlily
Riverclan Elder | She/Her | 134 Moons

Well well well look who it was. Did Stormstar think a pretty new name and title and some work being done to get the clan in bare minimum working order means she'd be greeted by accolades? Or perhaps this was a bid to get Waterlily on her side before the elder tore into her like she did for the older brother.

The leader had another thing coming if that was the case, and that shown as a scraggly head lifted from her bedding, rough voice cutting.
"Oh look, she who rules over all descends from her high and mighty perch to mingle with the decrepit. I'll give you that your brother and last....." the elder counted "three(?) of you forebears before him never bothered to do so but dont think a meal will be enough when the apprentices do more on the daily. Go on Stormpaw, start descaling that think and tearing it up, few of us have teeth enough to do so anymore and once youre done you can work on my ticks while we talk. Its the least that can be done."
It was also payment and humbling in a way. Lower yourself to the level of the apprentices you rule over and listen to our grumbling and you might get some of our wisdom you desperately need.


"Miresong stop being so glad to see her, you sound starved for attention. And Cloudsong dont lie, we're not good we need more moss and for this place to be better sealed or come leafbare soon we'll all freeze, stars knows our thinning pelts cant keep us warm like the rest of the clans clan."
Elders froze during leafbare, its just what they did and Waterlily would be damned if her last (probable) moons would be spent cold and unhappy. She was old now and knew her time was soon so she'd go out pampered dammit.


"Speaking of your name though oh star. I believe you were given it sure but I dont see that it suits you. What storm are you, I only see a cat who stayed silent and obedient under her brothers mistakes only speaking up now that he's gone and cant demote you for fighting for whats right. Whats with that brat hmmm? Dont think you're off the hook for your wrongs just because you seem to be aware and making up for some.

What do you want from us anyways, I dont believe this is just a social call."
Oh the leader would get her answers for whatever she was looking for sure. But she'd also have to deal with Waterlily to get them.

Miresong sighed "Because StarClan forbid I express some emotion 'round here," he grumbled sarcastically.

He continued to listen as Waterlily spoke, and he couldn't help but give the fellow elder a silent disapproving shake of his head. He didn't want to speak and cause an issue, though, so he just sat there instead, allowing himself to to stew in his negative thoughts about this interaction.

Twigstep
98 Moons
He/Him

Twigstep had been napping in the corner of the den when he awoke to the smell of fresh kill the voices of his fellow elders and the ever so evident presence of his new leader one who he wasn’t super fond of but he would make due he passed over his frame once large had shrunk from the exile and his leg wasn’t doing him any favors after the vicious attack from the rest of the clans a shadowclan foxheart had attacked him in the leg and since then it never had been the same he sat down next to Waterlily and listened to her rant

Some things he agreed on others not so much “Isn’t this a supprise see you here mingling with your elders figured once you became a warrior you’d never visit I mean Mudsmoke was a respectable warrior came to visit but oh wait he got murdered by bloody otters” he says his heart had turned quite bitter over his favorite warriors death and with the death of Mudsmoke he no longer had anyone to visit no family.He turned his head to water lily and nodded “We definitely could use more moss and an apprentice in here with some mouse bile I know the moves been difficult but basic requirements should be met shoot I rember when I was an apprentice doing it”.he says while turning back to Stormstar he didn’t hate his leader he was just bitter

Songfeather

She/her l 20 Moons l Warrior


Coming from RiverClan Clearing.
Songfeather decided to pay the elders a visit, ask if they needed help with anything. As she walked in to the den, and got a bit startled as she heard Waterlily's speech to Stormstar. The young warrior didn't want to interrupt as that was not her discussion so she silently walked over to Cloudsong, giving a greeting nod to anyone she got eye contact with.
The she cat dipped her head in a respectful gesture and sat down beside the elder. "Hello Cloudsong. I hope I am not interrupting anything important.", Songfeather meowed quietly, just so that he could hear her. She did not want to disrespect anyone, and Waterlily seemed to have a lot to say to the leader.

Cloudsong lifted his head up with a small groan. Another cat interrupting his nap! Oh, it was Songfeather. "Songfeather." Cloudsong muttered and shook his head. "Nah. You're just interrupting my nap but who cares about that." He grumbled.

Songfeather looked towards Cloudsong while he spoke. ”Oh, my bad. I won't take much of your time, if you want to go back to sleep.” she meowed and her gaze fell onto her paws. She knows how grumpy she can get when someone disturbs her sleep. She flicked her tail and looked up at the elder again. ”Just wanted to ask if you guys need any help in here. Do you need more moss? Or is there anything else you need? I'm sure the apprentices take good care of you. I'm just checking in.”, her voice was soft and friendly. She genuinly cared for the elders well being. And she could only imagine how hard the recent journey must have been for some of them.

Cloudsong looked at Waterlily briefly before meowing, "Waterlily was going on about needing more moss. I'm fine right now but might need more later. Could you bring some?" He asked, probably the longest meow he had ever meowed. He only talked this much to his kin.. what was common between Songfeather and them? Perhaps it was because Songfeather was a young warrior. Cloudsong grumbled. He was getting soft.

Songfeather calmly listened while the elder spoke. As he mentioned Waterlily, Songfeather gave her a friendly look before her gaze wandered back to Cloudsong. She gave her tail a few quick licks while listening. She could go fetch some moss and maybe go hunting after that if no one told her anything else. "Of course I will go get some." she meowed with a friendly smile, "and I will try not to disturb you when I come back." Now she had something to do at least. Just sitting around and looking useless wasn't really her style. The sand colored she cat gave Cloudsong a friendly nudge with her shoulder as she stood up and walked then out of the den to the clearing. Maybe she could find someone to help her bring back the moss? If the elders had enough moss for a little while, maybe the apprentices could focus on their ticks and hunting for them. Sounded logical at least in her head.
