Ploversnap pads over and sits next to her apprentice, her seafom-blue eyes perking upwards to the leader.

Heronkit waddles over to the gathering. Antlerkit sits near the entrance.

Brief Brightpaw mention

[Nahbois]

Claypaw rushed out of the apprentice's den, and found a nice, sunny spot to sit in. Sprucepaw followed not too long after her, though settled for a quieter spot to settle down. She tried looking for her mentor, but couldn't find Skullbrook. An all too common occurrence these days.

Lichenkit came out of the nursery, tumbling over Oriolekit in the process, who had been sitting in the middle of the den floor. They had apologized, though the younger kit didn't seem to care about it- or the meeting - much, and didn't bother moving. Lichenkit settled down next to their brother quietly.

( @Rudie - Heronkit mention, no need to respond. Clay and Spruce are both open)

| BERRYSHINE |

small & nimble dark brown she-cat with darker flecks and light, leafy-green eyes | the collector | dreamwalker |

[ riverclan medicine cat | she-cat | 20 moons | timid, kind, hardworking ]

Berryshine's eyes were glued to Owlstar as the leader clambered up the Skyridge, internally wincing. She hadn't been fond of the idea of the mottled tabby trying to scale it in her current state, but also knew how stubbornly brave she was. The worry never left her expression, even when the leader was settled and calling her Clan with the familiar summons.

The otter battle that had left Owlstar in such a state was still fresh, still haunting. Not only for the 'star, but everyone else, too. It had just been particularly devastating to have seen her beloved leader and friend teetering on the verge of consciousness and oblivion.

Berryshine curled her tail tightly over her paws, letting out a shaky sigh. She was only soothed when she felt a familiar, fatherly pelt brush against her own.

— STAGHEART —

very large, muscular, & scarred light brown tabby tom with stark blue eyes and a torn ear; killer aptitude t3 | just a scratch | dreamwalker

[ riverclan warrior | tomcat | 60 moons | gruff & battle-hardened, heart o’ gold; loyal to a fault ]

—

Stagheart also sauntered up to the meeting, sore from his own wounds. He hadn't been knocked around as badly as Owlstar (no one had, really — it was a miracle that she'd even survived), but he'd gotten his fair share of beatings. Those otters were vicious, slippery, and too dang fast — and the bites and gouges on his fur would only add to the tattered array of his scarred form.

His stark eyes found Berryshine, the first adoptive daughter of his, by herself. Her concern was palpable, watching Owlstar carefully; he'd be lying to say that he didn't share that concern, but also knew how deeply it would shake her up. So the large tabby tom found himself changing direction to beeline to the medicine cat instead, sitting down beside her. He smiled to himself, very faint but very genuine, when he felt the younger she-cat lean against him. Even if he couldn't do or say much right, his silent support was enough to comfort.

She'd saved Owlstar, and many of the others at the scene of the battle — ThunderClan's medic hadn't been there, so she'd handled it all on her own. And he was so dang proud. He'd have to tell her again, after this meeting.

Gladepaw flinched at the sharpness of Owlstar's voice, her ears pinning back instinctively. She wasn’t used to hearing the leader’s voice crack like that, and it made her pause mid-step, her paws half-frozen in the soft sand of the clearing. Her amber eyes flickered towards the source of the sound, instinctively seeking out the shape of Owlstar atop the Skyridge. Gladepaw’s heart skipped a beat as she saw the leader standing tall. Despite the weariness in Owlstar’s voice, there was a certain strength in her posture. The determined look on her face made Gladepaw’s breath hitch, even though a part of her still wanted to shrink back, like she always did when the attention of the clan was turned to one cat. The idea of a clan meeting made her uneasy. She wasn’t one to stand out in front of everyone and make her voice known, yet she found herself moving toward the meeting instinctively, drawn in by the importance of the moment. Her tail twitched behind her, the rhythmic flicking a small sign of her inner unrest. As she neared the cluster of cats beginning to gather around the Skyridge, Gladepaw took a breath, trying to steady herself. She kept her head low, eyes flicking around the crowd, though she was careful not to make eye contact with anyone for too long. The nervous pit in her stomach only deepened as she approached, but she tried to push it down. There was no need to worry yet. This wasn’t about her. She wasn’t the one being looked at.

But still, there was a fluttering, uncomfortable feeling twisting in her chest. Her paws felt heavy as she seated herself on the edge of the growing crowd, feeling the cool stone beneath her paws as she waited for Owlstar to speak again. She forced herself to keep still and focus on the rhythmic flow of her breath. She would be fine. She always was. She just didn’t know what the meeting would bring.

open !!

The dark spotted tabby didn't need to be told twice, and shook the morning from his pelt as he padded toward his leader's paws as instructed. Albeit, he set his sights on a spot a little further away from the gathering crowd. Too many cats around him at the same time made him feel a bit awkward. I wonder what this all is about? he thought with quiet reflection, fluffy tail tucked neatly over his paws. Was it an apprentice ceremony? Or a warrior ceremony? He did not know for sure, and a flicker of his mind hoped that one day, he'd have kits of his own up by Owlstar, getting their -paw name and a mentor. But that was wishful thinking, and he was far too young for any of that. He'd had his own warrior ceremony not even a moon ago! There was no need for that when he hadn't even been pulled for a patrol yet.

Hm? Seapaw's ear flickered, as they watched Owlstar clambered up The Skyridge. He'd been sat in the clearing, grooming his fur. Stars, was Owlstar hurt? They squinted, trying to focus in and see when was up. He could make out some bits of herby-treatment-stuff on her, but he couldn't figure out the exacts. What had happened? They tilted their head, creeping forward to listen to the announcements.

Midnightpaw arrived, stopping by Seapaw. { @sleepyyjax }
