May Gathering

[taillow]

Cindersky
And there it was. Perhaps the one leader she had been waiting to hear from, the one she held the most respect for because of her longevity and wisdom. Her agreement with Dawnstar left a bad taste in her mouth, and disappointment blossomed within her chest. She had hoped that the lilac she-cat would see that, despite not having a leader or deputy, that ThunderClan was regaining its footing - but it appeared that simply because they lacked the necessary authority figures that was not the case.

"If you wish for us to not be up here, then we will go. We do not mean to cause a disruption." At this point, Cindersky was really not up for trying to defend ThunderClan anymore against cats who were not inside their camp walls and did not. But voicing her frustrations would do her no good except dig a further hole for her Clan to come out of. The leadership thing had been discussed at the last meeting, but she did not feel the need to voice that to the other high ranks.

Her eyes flickered briefly towards Sundust, wondering what his thoughts were on all of this, before they moved to Sparrowflight. Despite their best efforts, tradition was too tied into the other Clans for them to disengage with it - and Cindersky could understand that. Being almost sixty moons she too felt closely tied with tradition, and breaking away from it was scary - and maybe a small part of her was also frustrated that Sundust had not stepped up to proclaim at least a leader and deputy for appearances sake.

"By the next gathering, ThunderClan will have a leader and deputy." Her last words were directed at Twilightstar, fueld by a genuine tone, and she gave her a nod of understanding. Shifting her gaze to Sparrowflight she nodded her head to the side, indicating to the sand below. "Come on." And with that Cindersky leapt down from the rock, her gaze moving to find Sundust. "Go ahead and speak for us, I do not wish to heighten tensions simply because neither myself, nor Sparrowflight or Jaystride are in a traditional position of power." She offered an encouraging smile towards Sundust before moving away to take a seat at the front of the crowd, turning around and facing the rocks.

Mintleaf decided to go to the gathering, but he isn't really an enthusiastic participation. His clan would surely have a lot of beef with ThunderClan after the Firefly Cove incident, but he didn't really want to hear it. More lives needn't be taken for a piece of land. [OPEN]
~Rippleshade, She/Her [WC]~
Rippleshade had a lot to catch up on. She knew there were going to be some issues with the other three clans, but WindClan seemed kind of isolated from their drama -With the exception of the ShadowClan border skirmish- at least for now. Upon entering the clearing, she immediately noticed that RiverClan and ThunderClan cats were much more scarred than last moon. Perhaps something there happened? [OPEN]
~Tornclaw, He/Him [TC]~
Exhausted from Firefly Cove, Tornclaw didn't really want to go to the Gathering this moon. He felt like he owed it to Cindersky and the rest of his Clan, and to pay respects to them, however. He found a spot near the edge of the clearing, and lied down for a bit [OPEN]
~Ashsong, She/Her [TC]~
Ashsong needed all of the details. Her tiredness led to her sleeping through Firefly Cove. All of this was a neccessity.[Open]
~Cactuspelt, She/Her [ShC]~
Cactuspelt, upon entering the Gathering Clearing, noticed that her Clan was the last to arrive. She wasn't surprised, as Dawnstar never made a big effort to get there first. She was glad she missed the battle against WindClan, but she still needed to know their side of what happened. [Open]
~Shimmerpaw, She/Her [ShC]~
Shimmerpaw was sort of new to this kind of thing with scarred Gatherings, so she tried to lay low a bit. [Open]

Tigerfire stalked into the clearing. His sides and front paw were aching badly, and he wasn’t in the best of moods. He glared over at the Thunderclan cats that were gathered there. Finally, he sat by the edge of where the Riverclan cats were assembled.
