Mintpaw felt a choking sensation for a moment, a deep concern that she hadn't felt yet... "You waited... how much?" She asked confused, wondering how she could've survived without hunting.

"Why.. didn't you come back sooner? Why didn't you call out? I could.. have heard you..." Her voice trailed off as she pictured her mother injured, alone. Had she left the territory? Was that why none of the patrols had found her?

Despite the relief at knowing that Lilyleaf hadn't abandoned her and she was safe, Mintpaw wasn't completely happy with her mother's explanation. It's not like she couldn't be without her parent for a moon or two, but... Why? Why did you have to disappear like that?

Blue eyes showed emotion, but a thin layer of fog clouded them.

LilyLeaf
“Sweetheart, I…” She began, thinking about how to answer all of those questions. She saw the emotion in her blue eyes. “I came as soon as I could walk without excruciating pain. I was pretty far from the territory and I was able to fine a cat who helped me get some food!”

How bored Nightspark was! There was to much talking, it was... annoying, he really hoped it would end soon... He yawned discreetly, avoiding anyone to notice him, he took out his claws and started to sharpen them, it's the only thing he could do right now...


[Open to anyone!]

The fluffy queen approached the Seastones. She had fallen far behind due to her kits being due in a few weeks, very literally weighing her down, but now she was here, her last gathering for a while. Unless she found a babysitter, which wasn't likely, since she probably wouldn't leave her baby's sides.

BUT she wasn't going to think about this now, because she needed to locate a Gathering buddy before the announcements started. What no one talked about, though, was how hard it was to find someone friendly at a Gathering when you were a member of ShadowClan. But she was trying anyways.

Spotting a gray tabby tom- a thunderclanner, she soon discovered under further inspection, she padded over and smiled in greeting, hoping that he would see that she had no hostile intent. Her Clanmates were really messing up her chances to make friends, like it was their life mission to be assholes to everyone. She would raise her kits differently. But for now, she had a friend to make. "Hello, mind if I sit? " Dovefluff began, dark blue eyes darting to the leaders before back to the ThunderClan tom. "I'm Dovefluff, and you are?" Hopefully it wouldn't seem to demanding. The heavily pregnant lass waited though for confirmation that she could sit before doing so.

A long furred gray she-cat was making her way toward his place. There was no one around him, so he guessed he might've finally found someone to talk with.
"Hello, not at all." He replied in a friendly tone, stepping a little back to make space for the queen. "My name's Sootfur, I'm from Thunderclan if you didn't already get it by the scent..." He joked, guessing that Dovefluff was Shadowclan. With every Gathering, it was becoming more and more easier to recognize each clan's scent even if so many different cats mingled together.

The gray tabby noticed something about the queen, but he wasn't sure if the she-cat would be glad for the question, so he chose a broader subject.
"You look a tad tired, Dovefluff. Are things running well in Shadowclan?" He asked gently, for this cat in front of him looked none like other Shadowclan cats he had seen. Certainly not like Dawnstar's followers, he decided.

Mintpaw felt tiny tears concentrate at the corners of her eyes, but they soon dried up as she tried to keep herself composed. She was injured... But she didn't forget me. She had been right all along. Lilyleaf wasn't like Doveskip. Suddenly some kind of hidden weight lifted off her chest, and her heart became a little more reachable for her mother.

The young she-cat stepped forward to inspect briefly the leg that Lilyleaf had broken; it had a different appearance, and honestly it didn't look as healthy as the other three. Did she get seen by Fawnlight? She wondered silently. But she didn't say anything, and rested her forehead briefly on Lilyleaf's with her blue eyes gently closed off.

For a few moments, the chaos and noises around them shut down.

☼ Dovefluff ☼

Luckily for her, she was welcomed to sit, and she sat down with as much grace as she could, still letting out a small mmph of relief. Maybe is she ever got pregnant again, she should do some let workouts so that carrying the kits wouldn't be so grueling.

"Nice to meet you, Sootfur." She said purring in amusement at his little joke. He must know what Clan she was from, right? Yes, he clearly did, from his next question. In all honesty, Dovefluff could ramble all night about how things weren't going well, but that wouldn't be the best, considering how this time was from another Clan. While she didn't care much for withholding information at a Gathering, she didn't want to risk a Clanmate hearing her and her getting into trouble. Or even getting killed or demoted or exiled- Dawnstar seemed to fancy the more harsh punishments.

Measuring her words gingerly, she sighed softly, chuckling to shake off her worries, and to make it seem more like it wasn't a big deal. "It's.. been a violent moon. Lots of um, unfortunate occurrences at the meetings and as hard as I tried to keep them from seeing it, no one really cares that the kits are witnessing things that would disturb a fully grown warrior." Maybe she babbled on a little. Stars, she hoped her kits wouldn't inherit her social skills, I instead hopefully they would receive their father's sweet talking gift.

"I... I'm also worried about how good of a mother I'll be, I don't have the biggest support system at home and the father... he isn't really around any more. It's just kind of scary." Oh stars, there she went again, sharing vulnerable information about her life to a stranger. Ducking her head in apology, she quickly attempted to turn the conversation so that he would talk about himself, because she didn't want to seem self centered. "How are things in ThunderClan?"

Sootfur observed the gray queen's expression carefully. She seemed really concerned and what she was just mentioning now about Shadowclan's problems... it troubled deeply the tom's mind. His face changed from a cheerful to a serious one, his eyes darkening as Dovefluff mentioned violence and kits together. Is it really this bad...?
The gray tabby risked a brief glance at Dawnstar, whose face was an eternal frowning mask. Was that really how the famous Shadowclan leader ruled the clan? Shivers run through his spine as he imagined himself and Flameheart there. Would they obey a leader that allowed so much violence among his clanmates?

It didn't surprise him that Dovefluff was concerned for her family. I've been right. She expects kits. And those kits will live under Dawnstar's rules.
The queen suddenly looked taken aback, always glancing around with worry in her eyes and her voice. Sootfur felt pity for this poor she-cat, who showed much sensitivity and kindness even to a stranger... But what could he do?
"I'm really sorry to hear that..." He replied wistfully, keeping his voice low so that no other cat could hear them.

"Thunderclan is... fantastic. Sparrowstar is a kind and fair leader, and has a benevolent eye for all of her clanmates." Maybe, if Dovefluff found out how different the other clans were, she could make a different choice. Would she?
"We have many brave Keepers to help her and our new deputy, who's also a very capable and good cat. It's... a good place to raise our kin." He hoped not to have gone too far, but he couldn't give her any more hints than that now.

Sootfur regained his friendly, positive expression and stretched his body a little bit to change subject. "Woah, it's so chilly here! My paws are sure freezing." He commented before inspecting his toes, who felt a bit sore by now.

~ Great! His first gathering! This was gonna be awesome and he was going to tell Dappledleaf all about it. The apprentice wasn't sure if his sister, Larkpaw or mentor, Frostscreech had decided to come to this gathering but eh whatever. Daypaw looked around before padding to a open spot and sat down wrapping his tail around his paws not caring about the down pour of rain. ~

| @Kat - Larkpaw mention; @Larissa - Frostscreech Mention; [OPEN] |

FROSTSCREECH

“Woah there kiddo,Calm down. I know you’re ready for your first gathering and everything but you still need to have some decorum,ya know. Uhhh,Don’t insult people,Give attitude towards a high ranking official,and the best for last Don’t attack anyone. Just be respectful please. You are representing Shadowclan here and I don’t think we need a worse reputation. That’s about it,Have fun,don’t light the place on fire or get in any fights. ” The warrior spoke loosely about the basics of gathering behavior as he tried to ruffle the white and ginger toms head fluff. The warrior looked at Larkpaw. “That applies to you as well,but I would hope you have experience as an Enforcer to understand.” He lightly added towards the young Shecat. He sighed roughly.
His mind wandered as he picked an open spot near his apprentice,Making sure he didn’t seem as if he was hovering. He wasn’t trying to seem like a mother Fox who didn’t let her cubs leave the den but Daypaw was someone he cared for,Now even more with his recent….loss of a sister,and his kits on the way. It made even him start to notice his overprotective nature of Daylaw. Welp,He had to set an example,being emotional was out of the cards for now. “It’s gonna be fine,give the kid some space.” He muttered to himself.

Seapaw sighed, so many cats were talking! But none were talking to him- wait! There was a cat right there, not talking to anyone! He stood up and trotted over to them, he saw they were sharpening their claws. "Hello, I'm Seapaw of Riverclan!" He meowed happily, "What clan are you from? Oh, and whats your name?" He asked, looking at the warrior.

Nightspark heard a voice speaking to him and he turned his head, it was an apprentice, he heard that his name was Seapaw and he was from Riverclan, he smiled warmly, a clanmate! He responded "I am Nightspark, from RiverClan too! Nice to know you!"

Mousebrain! He's from your clan! Seapaw thought too himself. He should have recognized a cat from his own clan. "So how are you doing?" He questioned, hopefully Nightspark wouldn't have realized that Seapaw had no idea he was in Riverclan too. Though he smiled back at Nightspark, hopefully he was doing well.
