Re: ThunderClan Stormcrest
The young warrior, never breaking her gentle gaze from Kestrelpaw's, listened intently and with a warm smile. Despite the tragic loss, it was Lavendersong's nature to care and find glimpses of hope wherever they may be. She tilted her head slightly, her smile beaming at Kestrelpaw, "Sproutfleck should be proud, you and him have been working so hard. I have no doubt you will get named soon and make an excellent warrior." She purred tenderly, kindness radiating from her pale eyes with glimpses of her lamenting laced within her soft purrs, "And as long as Springlight is safe with StarClan... I have no doubt he will continue to help guide us from the stars."
Creepingpaw didn't need to be shorter than Kestrelpaw in this instance, as the entire time the two were chatting, he was ducked down low to excuse himself from their conversation. His shoulders sticking upwards as he crouched himself down with his ears pinned to his skull but twitched a couple times in annoyance. Creepingpaw wasn't the one to admit he liked having the attention on him and tuned out when it wasn't all about him, but... he perked up and shot his mentor a glance at the mention of Kestrelpaw's naming ceremony. "So what about mine...", he thought to himself.
Lavendersong looked back down to briefly meet his stare only to look back at Kestrelpaw and meet her with full attention. Intuitive, Lavendersong knew she needed to answer to Creepingpaw's non-verbal question... but this was not the time or place. She needed to speak to Bumblestar before making any decision.

That was right! She was literally on the cusp of being a warrior! An excited glance towards Lavendersong (at this point she had completely forgotten anything around her existed), but Kestrelpaw sobered at the mention of Springlight. Em, one wasn't supposed to be excited when the dead were mentioned! It wasn't her fault the thought of warriorhood made her grin like a fool.
Glancing back towards Bumblestar - oh, the leader had left already. Mostly everyone had left already. The meeting was over? "Oh, time to go, I think." Kestrelpaw was unaware of this currently, but the next time she talked to her denmate and his mentor, it was bound to be with her newfound facial scars. Ah well, she didn't know that yet.
Yeah remember when he said he didn’t have a good feeling about this meeting… he didn’t expect this because what the hell. There medicine cat was dead?!?! Didn’t Drizzlecloud just step down? Was his clan without a medicine cat at all now? That’s actually insane. He heard cries of disbelief and fear and that was something that was to be expected but he didn’t even know how he was feeling personally. It was just numb. Maybe it was because he wasn’t ever that close to Springlight, maybe he’s still in shock, maybe he’s so used to death and loss already that this doesn’t even mean a thing to him… any of those didn’t matter, it was concerning that he hardly cared about the loss more than worry about his clan’s health while his leader figured out replacements.
Alright. Alright, okay, alright... Yes, this was potentially too soon after the last meeting, but despite Bumblestar's personal feelings on the matter, two open ranks couldn't remain open for very long. She needed to fill them, take some of the weight off her Hornets' backs, and make sure her Clan had reliable healers.
It still hurt, but it was necessary.
She rolled her shoulders as she scaled the Stormcrest to perch on the edge. "ThunderClan! Gather up for a Clan meeting!"

Padding up to the Stormcrest at Bumblestar's call, Hollowkit couldn't help the smug expression on his face, one that said 'I know something you don't know' - because he did know something no one except, like, half the nursery knew. He was getting apprenticed this ceremony. Gone were the days of Hollowkit, now was the time for Hollowpaw, and the next steps on his journey to becoming king of the whole forest!!
Raggedear sat with his head tilted curiously, wondering what the rush for this meeting was. They had just one recently, but then he remembered the passing of their medicine cat…Surely Bumblestar was mentioning something about that? He trusted her to have a plan.

Willowfrost padded nervously up towards the Stormcrest, sitting down in a patch of shadow she found as if she wanted to stay hidden. She had missed her home, but it all felt so surreal in the moment.
