As more and more cats started piling in, another cat had situated themselves beside her, by choice or not. She didn't even need to turn her head to know this was a WindClanner. Not that she minded much. Afterall, the past was in the past, and things should be forgiven not forgotten. The silverish cream coated she-cat turned to give the cat who just joined a small nod of acknowledgement and a gentle attempt at a polite smile.

To her surprise, this cat was...an apprentice...a warrior? She knew the average WindClanner were small, but not this small...so it must be a kid, right? Though Floodsight was a bit stunned, her face remained calm and relatively the same. She wrapped her fluffy long tail around her gentle frame whilst holding a quick pause before speaking. "I'm Floodsight...How fares WindClan?"

She wasn't really sure how to speak to other cats around her age. It was like kits or apprentices where you teach them something and play along with their antics, nor was it like talking to other cats; which was majority a listening job. 'Nevermind. I think I said enough for a starter.' She'd hoped this tom would be better at directing a conversation than she is.

Whisperinghive
A 12-16 moon old tom with marigold-orange fur, dull green eyes, and a thin scar running from below his left eye down his muzzle to his nose.

And of course the fish had to talk to him! Why did so many cats think he was a talkative, friendly guy who they could hang out with? Stars above, why did he come to this gathering? It was more crowded than usual. (Or was it?) Maybe it was just Whisperinghive's mood making him feel like there were more cats than at a typical gathering. Should he even acknowledge the fish beside him? After all they've done, do they even deserve acknowledgement? Do they deserve to be seen?... Well, he wasn't going to talk to anyone else, and it'd be rude not to answer. (No matter how much Whisperinghive wanted to be rude)


"Whisperinghive." The orange tom greeted, continuing to stare up at the leaders. Just because he was talking to a fish, doesn't mean he has to look at them. Whisperinghive didn't even notice that the molly was bigger than him. Like, much bigger. "It's been..Fine. I–" He stopped himself. Would it be safe to tell someone from Riverclan about his new siblings? Oh Stars above, why did he overthink like this? Even Riverclan wouldn't hurt kits! "I have siblings now. My mother just had a litter." Whisperinghive explained slowly and hesitantly, careful with his words. Yes, Leopardsong wasn't his birth mother, but she was his mother. She'd adopted him when his own parents abandoned him, and he'd be forever greatful to the Forever Queen. The tom had promised his siblings he'd protect them, and he would. But what if he was the reason they were in danger? Whisperinghive couldn't bear knowing he'd put them in danger if they got hurt.

Splitpaw was watching the other cats, her mind was preoccupied until she heard Burnedpaw's voice. Her heart instantly thumped in her chest. Splitpaw didn't know what this feeling was. Turning in that direction where Burnedpaw's voice was she saw the handsome young apprentice. "Hi! Burnedpaw." she purred. "How are you?"


She waited until he was by her side before she spoke again. "See any cats you saw last time at the gathering?" she asked with a tilt of her head.

His eyes never left Owlscreech until she disappeared into the crowed. He nodded. "I can definitely see where she got her name from." He meowed. "She's got big eyes for a cat." he purred, turning his gaze back to Daffodilpaw. "Hey don't be nervous, we are at a gathering it's okay to socialize." He smiled. His gaze shifted away from hers and at the cats around them. "See look at them all." He said with a playful nudge. His gaze then moved back and forth to make sure no one was looking before he leaned down and whispered. "Do you want to meet tomorrow night at our usual spot?" he said before pulling back. Nightshadow then let out a laugh as if she said a joke. "You're really funny, Daffodilpaw." His eyes saying just a cover up, so we don't act suspicious.

So Adderstrike came to the gathering while wondering why she really wanted to come here. She didn't want to spend time around all these rogues but it seemed like her paws lead her here anyways.. That was when she saw something that urked her. It seemed like Minkpaw was sitting around with the Shadowclan's medicine cat. Ah, couldn't make it in Riverclan so had to lower your standards? Very well. It told Adderstrike all she would ever need to know about Shadowrogues.

Last time she sat all on her lonesome and it was mostly just to focus on gathering information but nothing ever really seemed to stick out to her that was worth putting that much attention to. Well, she wasn't in the habit of talking to the rogues anymore but there was one cat lurking around that seemed interesting to her. Was it Risingsomething? She probably wasn't even right on that part but she walked over to the cat anyways. "Is it alright if I sit here?" Adderstrike said in a formal tone before motioning her head to the spot next to Risingstorm.

Duskleaf

23 Moons | He/Him | Agatha Kitty

RiverClan Warrior

As he sat down beside Riftpaw, Duskleaf smiled in response to Rainpaw's greeting. "Hi Rainpaw!" Duskleaf's ear perked up as Riftpaw mentioned meeting Snakefang. "Ah yeah Brokenstream told me!" He began. "How'd you find her? Is she like me at all?" As Riftpaw mentioned that he hadn’t seen Beaverpaw yet, Duskleaf once again looked around for his other apprentice. Ah! There he was! He noticed the relief in Beaverpaw's expression at seeing him and Riftpaw. "Beaverpaw! There you are!"

A purr of happiness rumbled in his throat, for the first time in a long time, it felt like everything was going well. He was able to go to the gathering with his apprentices, and now he'd also get to see his sister for the first time since before RiverClan's exile. "Uh, Beaverpaw, you haven’t met my sister yet, have you?"

Snakefang

23 Moons | She/Her | No purrks

ThunderClan Warrior

As Snakefang made her way into the gathering, a little bit behind the rest of ThunderClan as she’d walked very much so at her own pace, her eyes quickly scanned the growing crowd as they did every gathering, she hoped her brother wouldn’t be sick anymore and was finally well enough to go to the gathering. Every other gathering except for the last had made her feel incredibly lonely. At least at the last she'd been able to speak to a few RiverClan cats and finally learned what really happened to her father — even if it wasn’t good news.

But then, to Snakefang's surprise, she actually did spot her brother this time. There he was! Snakefang made her way over much faster than she had walked on her way to the gathering. "Duskleaf!" She called out, coming to sit beside him. "You’re here!" Snakefang was never one for showing her emotions too much; but it was hard to hide the fact she genuinely was happy to see her brother again. "Hey Riftpaw." She said, smiling at the young apprentice she'd met at the last gathering. The other three apprentices here, she didn’t know their names, but one with brown fur and a few stripes caught her eye as he was sitting pretty close to Duskleaf. "Who's this little fella?" She asked.
