He was still and quiet while he watched the other clans enter. He was also aware that the deputies, not just him, were on the Great Rock. He looked down to see Wolfblossom was still below. Leopardsun spoke to him directly and he wasn't surprised at all that she didn't know his name. Why should she?
"I'm Darkspirit. I'm Thunderclan's new deputy. Thunderclan is fine. Mottlestar lost her voice recently and she asked if I would do the announcements this time for her. What a way to start." He added jokingly, hoping he sounded more confident than he felt. In truth, he was trying to control his breathing and not faint.

Falconmoon entered the gathering with less enthusiasm than his other ones. The familiar scent and sight of the hollow made him remember... the "bird club". Birdclan... right. he thought to himself as he started searching for Thrushpaw and Kestrelpaw. He wondered if they had their warrior names yet like he did. He hoped so, but if not, he was content with keeping them as friends even if they were still apprentices.
Falconmoon is open to talk to, but he is looking for Thrushpaw and Kestrelpaw.

Amberstone casually entered Fourtrees and sat among the other Windclanners. Her days had gone by as a blur and she felt she had little energy for this. Still, it looked good to come, so she had.
Amberstone is open to talk to.

Lionpaw hid his nervousness well. He strode to the front of Skyclan's lines to get a better look at the clans around him. He burned their faces and their scents into his memory, trying to desperately remember them before all the scents mixed together and became muddy. He wrapped a big fluffy tail around his paws and looked around, but found he wasn't sure what else to do. Windclan was the least like Skyclan right? Maybe he should go talk to one of them, but which one?
Fawnshine padded into the clearing along with her fellow clanmates, her attention kept focused on each step she took. She could already feel the eyes gazing upon their new deputy — Darkspirit. It wasn't as if she had anything on her brother, though she knew him less than most. Through what little, daily interactions they had with each other, however, she hoped he'd be able to handle the position well. She wanted to be able to trust in Mottlestar's decisions. Setting herself by the usual spot by the edge of the Great Rock, she waited for the other medicine cats to arrive.
Fawnshine is waiting for the other medicine cats to arrive, but is open for conversation!
Duskflight
It had been some time since Duskflight had last attended to a Gathering, and he found himself to be motivated enough to finally head to one again. There were a lot of new and unfamiliar faces, as well as more familiar ones — though he could see the clans had a large boost in members. At least, that was the case for most of them. Setting himself among his clanmates, he kept an eye out for anyone who might be searching for company.
Duskflight is open for conversation!
Hawkshriek
Hawkshriek padded into the Gathering with a calm expression, not necessarily thinking too much of everything, or too little, either. In a way, he almost wanted to remain in camp. With Perchstar's recent disappearance, as well as his last littermate's death, he felt discouraged to talk. Green eyes peering up at Poppyshine as she placed herself upon Perchstar's usual seat on top of the Great Rock, he offered her a small smile, hoping to offer her comfort of somewhat degree.
Hawkshriek is open for conversation, though he may be hesitant.
Fennelpaw
Fennelpaw padded excitedly into the Gathering, her sage-colored irises scanning each clan with interest. The scents, sights, and chatters of everyone flooded to her — and while it made her nervous, the anticipation of being to potentially find conversation overcame her agitation. Spotting an apprentice free of company, Fennelpaw took in a deep breath, walking up to her with confidence. From her scent, she was able to detect that she was a Skyclanner.
"Hello there," Fennelpaw offered the she-cat a brief, polite nod of the head, smiling. "Do you mind if I join you? I'm Fennelpaw from Windclan."
Fennelpaw is initiating a conversation with Celadinepaw!
thrushpaw
(OOC: Thrushpaw doesn't know Falconmoon is now a warrior.)
Strutting into the clearing along with Thunderclan, Thrushpaw had been eager to look for his Gathering friends again. He wondered if anything different had gone on since their last meeting — perhaps a name change for some, or some new experiences. Perhaps even new faces? After a while of scanning, he spotted Falconpaw by his clan, and his expression brightened. Walking up to him, he offered the tom a curt purr and nod of greeting, smiling. "Hey, Falconpaw! Nice to see you again." Glancing around, he couldn't spot Kestrelpaw just yet, and so looked back at the tom in front of him. "Hm, Kestrelpaw isn't here. Have you seen him anywhere?"
Thrushpaw is talking to Falconmoon and is searching for Kestrelpaw!
Firepool padded into the gathering, watching his apprentice excitedly enter before him. He had to admit, he had been enjoying teaching her. His quiet nature hadn't impeded his teaching... at least too much, and Celandinepaw was always ready to learn. It was nice. Leaning down to her, before she rocketed off in a direction, he softly mewed, "Have fun, don't cause trouble." With a wink, the tom padded away, watching for Smokestep. He wasn't sure if she would be off with others this gathering, but he couldn't help but want to have her around.
Tigershriek wandered into the gathering behind Nightstar, and like any other gathering, he stood quietly amidst the throngs of cats, waiting for the announcements of other clans. This time he spotted something peculiar, though. Nightstar had not ascended the rock, and immediately the tom was filled with worry. Had a wound come open? Or maybe his injuries were just preventing him from climbing? As these thoughts flowed through his head, the warrior was already weaving through the cats closer to the rock, coming to the threshold where clans ended, and the leaders of clans began. Gingerly, he continued padding forward, quietly coming closer to Nightstar. Dipping his head to the deputies that surrounded the rock (and other leaders that hadn't ascended it) in a silent apology, Tigershriek softly asked, "Nightstar, are you alright? Should I get Burdockroot?" The tom felt awkward standing amongst the strangers, but he had to ask. Nightstar was... well, a lot to him, he'd hate if he didn't at least try to help where he could.
Sparrowthorn entered, green eyes on her father and his injured leg. She obviously couldn't do much about it, but the molly couldn't help but feel vaguely upset that something had injured him. Stars knew how many lives Shrikestar had left, but the thought of anything hurting her family just made her angry. Ripping her gaze away, she found a quiet spot within the gathering to stand, watching for her brothers. She'd join them if she saw them, but for now, she was content to watch the gathering with little interest.
Firepool is looking for Smokestep, but is open to conversation! Tigershriek is speaking to Nightstar (others around the rock are free to speak to him!) Sparrowthorn is looking for her brothers, but is open to conversation!
Her first Gathering as a warrior...Acornstem's head was held high as she padded into the clearing after Mottlestar, taking a seat not far from her Clanmates but she was determined to make herself open to be approached by anybody - befriending cats from the other Clans had always been a goal of her, she wanted to make so many friends! She knew a pawful she had met when she was young, but it has been so long since she had gotten the chance to speak to them... Well, with any luck somebody would want to chat with her!
--------------
Badgermask took a seat among her Clanmates, tail curled tightly around her. Part of her was highly tempted to go seek out one of her siblings, she always felt more at ease sitting with them but...She couldn't rely on their company forever - she would just have to be brave for the night. With any luck, nobody would approach her... But if they did, she suppose she could make an attempt at small talk...
--------------
As Creamsky padded into the clearing, he spared a glance around at the gathered cats. For as much as a time of bonding with the other Clans, he wasn't quite sure if he had the interest in it. But, he knew as much as he didn't care one way or another, it would be for the best if he did have an idea of what was happening in the other Clans... A huff escaped him as he padded into the crowd of cats, gaze flickering around for nobody in particular but simply seeing if anybody did catch his eye.
Acornstem is eagerly waiting to see if anybody wishes to speak with her. Badgermask is hoping nobody will talk to her, but is open to be spoken to nonetheless. Creamsky is aimlessly wandering around to see if anybody strikes his interest to speak to, but is open to be approached.
Smallbean gulped, more unsure of this moon's gathering than he'd ever been for a gathering in his life. Shrikestar had asked him to speak in his place this gathering, something that he didn't feel prepared for whatsoever. Still, he obliged, agreeing to take his place on the Great Rock.
Now, he walked into the gathering, heart pounding in his chest. The gathering seemed so much more overwhelming tonight than it had before, every sound managed to reach his ears. Brackenwing's words circled through his head, though, and he kept his chin high - despite his clearly displeased expression. When he approached the Great rock, it seemed so much larger than he remembered it. Its size intimidated him, now that it was something that he had to climb. 'This will be the only time.' He reminded himself, sucking in a deep breath. 'You don't have to do it again after this.'
Reluctantly, he began to scale the rock, slowly, making sure every step was secure. When he poked his head over the top of the rock, he found a few cats already there. Most weren't leaders. It made him feel a bit less alone, but worried. He reminded himself that he'd seen Nightstar and Mottlestar on the way in. That put some of his worried to rest, at least.
Standing to his paws, Smallbean joined the rest of the crowd, greeting them all with awkward smiles. He sat closest to Poppyshine. "Hey there... I hope you're all doing well... Your leaders, too." The last part was directed toward the present deputies. "Oh and, uh. Shrikestar is alright, he just wanted me to make the announcements this gathering..." It was coincidental to see most of the deputies up here. He couldn't complain, though. Having Poppyshine up with him helped ease his nerves, just a little bit. Smallbean quickly noticed that Thistlemask wasn't here, though. On his way up the rock he'd caught the tail end of a conversation, it seemed like this new cat was Thunderclan's deputy. Although, he remained unsure. "Oh- Um, Smallbean. Windclan deputy." He stated his name for the newcomer, offering the tom a strained smile. "Uh- Is Thistlemask okay...? Do you know?"
Smallbean is taking Shrikestar's place on the Great Rock.

Poppyshine offered Leopardsun and Darkspirit a tight smile, but for once she was not feeling particularly chatty in offering greetings to her fellow deputies. She heard Darkspirit’s quiet explanations about why he was up on the Great Rock, and Leopardsun’s would likely follow, but her mind could barely follow it beyond the anxiety that squeezed her chest.
Her eyes then swiveled to Birdstar when she joined them on the rock. Somehow, that felt most comforting, and she felt her tense muscles finally start to unwind. Her smile grew less strained until Birdstar inquired about Perchstar, and the strain pulled taut again. She shuffled anxiously where she was sitting. “Something like that,” she replied noncommittally. Was it worth telling everyone that Perchstar was missing, or would it be better to give a white lie that she was ill? She would feel comfortable telling Birdstar, but they were not as close to the other clans, and so she was not as certain in that regard.
She looked to Smallbean when he joined the rock as well. She blinked with surprise. That makes for four deputies on the Great Rock. She leaned over the edge, seeing that the rest of the leaders were down there with just Wolfblossom as the only deputy. Was there some kind of memo she hadn’t gotten? She was so confused that her anxiety was momentarily forgotten. She did notice how tense Smallbean seemed, and the new ThunderClan deputy, Darkspirit, also looked a tad faint. Seeing as she knew Smallbean better than Darkspirit, she only brushed her pelt against the WindClanner’s side, hoping to steady his nerves with the friendly touch. And, in a way, steel her own.
Poppyshine is speaking with those on the Great Rock…but mostly not talking.
Crookedlight entered the Gathering briskly with the rest of his clan. He had walked with greater purpose this time around, and for one single reason: He was going to find Rowanpaw and show off the fact that he had, in fact, earned his warrior name. He had caught sight of Rowanpaw at the last Gathering, but it was too soon after everything, and he could not tear himself from Rainfrost’s side. Now, though, he was unencumbered and already separating off from his clan to search through the other slew of cats. He followed his nose until he caught the unmistakable scent of fish. RiverClan’s numbers seemed small, though perhaps they had always been a small clan. His eyes landed on the familiar red pelt of a certain fishbrained cat. Crookedlight sucked in a breath through his nose and let any tenseness fall away. His face planted a steady smile on his maw as he approached.
“You are looking the same as ever,” Crookedlight purred as he came around Rowan—still -paw, or now a warrior? It was hard to tell—and sat down at his side. Crookedlight’s posture was a bit stiff, but it was hard to see that when his expression looked so very at ease and comfortable. “The fish stench on you is stronger now that you are home. Has your return to your territory been as glorious as you imagined?”
His words felt odd in his mouth, his maw a little too stiff. Even Crookedlight could not identify his own tone. It was not quite friendly, not quite hostile, not quite welcoming but not quite berating. It was like something balancing on a tall branch and a single breath from Rowan would push his tone in one direction or the other.
Iceheart is pregnant and so stayed home. Whisperear stayed home. Larkkit is too young and could not attend. Twistpool stayed home to look after the kits.
Flutterpetal tried not to be nervous as he glanced around Fourtrees. Try as he might, he still felt uncomfortable every time he set foot in the sacred clearing. The Twolegs were long gone, as everyone knew... but that didn't really assuage his worries. Either way, he seemed a little skittish, trying to catch sight of any familiar pelts in the thronging crowds.
Flutterpetal is looking for Adderdawn or Honeylight, but is open to talk to anyone!
Applepaw padded excitedly into the gathering, immediately looking around the gathered cats for someone interesting to talk to. At the last gathering, he'd been a bit too shy to introduce himself to anyone, but this time would be different. He ambled through the crowd, avoiding the Windclan cats. He wasn't afraid of them, but his mother had always told him that they couldn't be trusted, so he opted to keep his distance. Finally, he spotted a brown she-cat who looked friendly enough, and made his way over to her.
"Hey, I'm Applepaw. What's your name?" He said, sitting beside her and cocking his head curiously.
Applepaw is talking to Acornstem! ---------------------------- Plumleaf entered the clearing with her clanmates, stopping short as she saw several deputies taking their leader's places on the great rock. Her eyes darkened with worry at the thought of losing another batch of leaders, but thankfully she could see Nightstar and Mottlestar near the base of the rock as she drew closer. Motioning with her tail for Smokestep to follow her, she took a seat beside Fawnshine, dipping her head in greeting.
"Fawnshine, how is Thunderclan?" She asked, her voice warm. "Have you met Smokestep? She's Skyclan's new medicine cat apprentice." Plumleaf said, a hint of pride coloring her voice.

Attending a gathering so soon after an execution of their own felt wrong. Even if he had never gotten acquainted with Redice, he was still a clanmate, was he stupid for feeling bad over a cat that had invited his own demise? Sablestrike shook the thought of death from his mind as he followed his clan into the clearing. Life would proceed.
His eyes fell upon the Great Rock, but the cat that represented Shadowclan was not Nightstar. Leopardsun stood atop the Great Rock, a smile on her face. It seemed that she enjoyed acting as leader much more than she had let on. Sablestrike was unsure of how she had bullied Nightstar into letting her take the lead this night, though it did offer him a rare opportunity. Sablestrike pushed his way through the crowd, paws aiming for the center of the clearing and the cat that would be there. He was not the first to reach Nightstar however. Sablestrike's eyes narrowed slightly at the sign of Tigershriek, though he wouldn't let the tom's company stop him from approaching. "Nightstar, I can't believe I get to see you grounded during a gathering!" A small smile crept along the warrior's face as he spoke. "I hope you don't mind me joining you, this just seemed like too rare of a moment to pass on."
Sablestrike has approached Nightstar and Tigershriek
Each paw step was confident as the silver she-cat entered the clearing. She had waited far too long for the moon to become full again, but now it was time to enjoy herself. She had spent the whole day grooming the straw out of her pelt in an attempt at making herself look pristine. If she could see herself, Silverwing was sure she'd have more than a few compliments for herself. Silverwing's gaze swept across the clearing, scanning for potential targets. No one already in a group, last time had been too messy. She needed someone that was alone. There didn't seem to be a lot of options, though one stood out to her. A black pelt, one that she was accustomed to looking at from afar. She knew the tom's name, though they had never formally met before. A bright smile cracked the she-cat's face as she began to pick her way through the crowd towards him. As she neared, the she-cat turned her head. Almost there, almo- Finally! Silverwing came into contact with the tom, bumping lightly into him. Her head turned to face the warrior, the smile on her face growing slightly. "Oh, Flutterpetal, my bad! I must have a problem, I seem to like running into you!" She mewed playfully. Silverwing hoped he understood her joke... Actually, did he even remember her? How could he not!
❖ Afterarriving alongside her clanmates, Briarrose seated herself near the edge of the clearing to keep a better eye on things. She wasn't sure why Darkspirit was going to take Mottlestar's place this night but she held some faith in Darkspirit. Her attention slid away and landed on Nightstar—the tom was remaining at the base of the rock with Mottlestar—then to Leopardsun. Shadowclan's deputy had also taken her leader's place. Briarrose's brows furrowed. Was there something she was missing? A few moments later, Riverclan entered the scene and she noticed that Perchstar was absent. The deputy, Poppyshine—like the other deputies—had hurried atop the Great Rock. A minuscule frown appeared on the torbie molly's face. With the other deputies, their leaders were still present. Was Perchstar sick? Or did something else happen? She hoped that the Riverclan leader was only temporarily indisposed and would return during the next Gathering. She had no qualms with Riverclan and only wished them well. ღ
❖ Skyclanarrived not long after Shadowclan, Thunderclan, and Riverclan had settled. She watched them trickle into Fourtrees with Birdstar and Wolfblossom at the head. For a moment she believed that Birdstar would also ask her deputy to take her place on the rock but Birdstar jumped on top instead. Briar's whiskers twitched in amusement. Skyclan was now the odd one out. Speaking of Skyclan's high ranks, they seemed to be doing generally fine with the addition of a new cat being led by Plumleaf. Was that the new medicine cat apprentice? How curious. They were warrior-aged. She wondered how one adjusts to a change like that. She remembers that Shadowclan's medicine cat had gone through a similar transition; From warrior to medicine cat. It was something interesting to think about. ღ
❖ Aftera while of sitting, the warrior got up and began to wander around. Perhaps she could strike up a conversation like during the last Gathering. As soon as that thought left her, she noticed a young warrior seated patiently nearby the other Skyclanners. She tilted her head and regarded her carefully. She seemed approachable enough. Briarrose padded over to the golden tabby and lightly dipped her head respectfully. "Greetings. May I join you during this Gathering? I am Briarrose of Thunderclan. By your scent, I assume that you are from Skyclan." Her head tilted as if questioning if she was correct in her assumption. ღ
❖ Whileshe awaited the other she-cat's response, she noticed Windclan's arrival from her peripheral vision. She took a moment to observe the moor residents as they began to disperse. Briar spotted Smallbean as the small tom made his way to the top of the Great Rock. Another deputy to speak for their leader? What was going on at this Gathering? This would be an interesting one she believed. ღ
『Briarrose is speaking with Lightningbreeze and is NOT open to other conversations!』
❖ Brookstonepadded into the Gathering behind the rest of Riverclan, expression guarded and tail twitching anxiously. There had been no signs of Perchstar yet and the clan was stretched thin. They had more kits than warriors—which should've been a blessing but with the lack of hunting help, the many new mouths to feed were proving to be a strenuous task with the pawful or so of warriors they had available. Hopefully, the kits would reach apprentice age soon. Riverclan wasn't doing so hot but she hoped they would all put on a decently strong front just in case. ღ
❖ Thesleek tabby warrior's eyes flicked up to Poppyshine then to the rest of her clanmates frequently. She wanted to keep them all in her sights. Her eyes lingered on the deputy longer than the rest. Poppyshine had so much on her shoulders, even more than the warriors. She wished there was something more she could do. However, they were all going to be busy for a while until their leader was brought back. Perchstar was needed more than ever now. For now, as one of Riverclan's senior warriors, Brookstone will continue to complete her duties to the best of her abilities and then some. She was determined to have the clan thrive once more. ღ
❖ Sheswiftly sat down at a random spot near the edge of the clearing and settled there stiffly. She was in no mood to chat. She wasn't even paying much attention to all that was happening around her. She needed some time to think. She'll try to focus once the Gathering started but right now, she was going to keep to herself and to her thoughts. ღ

Firefly's first pawstep into Fourtrees was hesitant at first but, with Curlyfluffs unbothered and cheerful attitude, she relaxed slightly. "Interact with whomever you want."
Firefly is not open for conversation. Harriertalon entered alongside her clan, her eyes set on Nightstar who seemed off tonight, with Leopardsun taking his place. As did the rest of the clan leaders as her gaze switched to the Great Rock: ThunderClan, WindClan, and RiverClan deputies all stood where their leaders usually would. Perchstar, the ever tired RiverClan leader, was nowhere in sight. Not a good sign.
Harriertalon is open to conversation! For the first time, Batswarm came along on his own. He would not be entering the clearing.
His first gathering as a warrior was bound to be a good one, right? That's what Lichenwing told himself as he trailed directly behind Mottlestar, at the front of the crowd of ThunderClan cats. Not a whole lot had changed since he got his name, but that didn't really matter to him. He was just thrilled to be here - and excited to share his news with a certain SkyClan she-cat. He wondered briefly if Juniperpaw had earned her warrior name yet. The two of them seemed close enough in age.
When Mottlestar gave the go ahead, Lichenwing broke off from ThunderClan's group and headed into the throng of cats, searching for one pretty she-cat in particular.
Lichenwing is searching for Juniperheart.
Smokestep
The night air was cool on her face as Smokestep walked beside Plumleaf on their way to the Gathering. Tonight, for the first time, she'd meet some of the other clans' medicine cats. It would be a lie to say she wasn't anxious, but the little gray tabby was also eager to get her training kicked fully into gear. Plumleaf was an excellent mentor, but Smokestep wanted to know it all... and most importantly, she kind of wanted to talk to the ShadowClan medicine cat - or, at least get a first impression of them.
Once SkyClan had split apart, Smokestep dutifully followed after Plumleaf, taking her place among the other medicine cats. She smiled nervously as her mentor introduced her, and then said quietly, "Hello... it's really a pleasure to meet you all." Her gaze wandered, not sure where to rest, and she kneaded the ground at her paws. Maybe this was going to be harder than she thought. Briefly, she flicked her gaze around the clearing, and it landed on a red-orange pelt and a pair of bright amber eyes. Firepool. She met his gaze briefly, and then tucked her head and turned back to the others. Any other Gathering, she'd be at his side. This time, though, they were on their own.
Smokestep is talking to the other medicine cats.
Sunfire
With Falconmoon at one shoulder and Graypaw at the other, Sunfire followed the rest of SkyClan into Fourtrees. The last Gathering had been mostly uneventful, save the appearance of a couple of Loners. The yellow dappled tom wondered if they'd be here again, tonight... or if they'd joined one of the clans, in the interim. SkyClan dispersed, and he watched as his brother wandered off, furrowing his brow gently. He wasn't sure if making friends with other clans was in Falcon's best interest at the moment... but who was Sunfire to boss him around or tell him what to do? He'd just keep an eye on him, instead. With a quiet sigh, the tom moved over to sit next to Graypaw, gently bunting the top of her head with his own before settling down at her side, content also to just watch and listen, for the time being.
Sunfire is sitting next to Graypaw but hasn't said anything. He'll probably be grumpy at outsider conversation.
Owlshade
It seemed WindClan was the last to arrive at Fourtrees, but the other clans hadn't been here long. Cats still milled about, searching for conversation, and SkyClan seemed to have only just arrived, as well. At least they weren't late. Owlshade watched Fennelpaw move off to speak with another apprentice her age, and he smiled gently, making a mental note of her location in case he needed it in an emergency. The pale tom yawned, curiously noting as he looked up that there were... four deputies on the rock. Or... at least four non-leaders. He didn't know the ThunderClan tom's name, but the other deputies seemed familiar enough... and Birdstar, who sat, a lone leader, among them. He found Shrikestar's form at the base of the rock, and left his gaze there for a long moment before glancing away. This would certainly be something to tell Brackenwing.
Owlshade is sitting by himself. He's open to talk to but has a serious case of RBF.
For the first time in her life, the ragdoll's ribs were starting to show beneath her thick fur. The rumbling in her stomach became a sort of comfort. Nonetheless, the warrior still had a swish in her tail and a smile on her maw as she entered the Gathering. Like she had told Darkpaw at his first Gathering - it was a time for partying! For fun! The chance to steal some attention, and meet new cats was always exciting. Her eyes scanned the clearing for Snowfoot, although she wasn't sure if the Shadowclan she-cat would be in attendance. Fawneye is open for conversation but looking for Snowfoot.
------- Echopaw walked much slower than his mentor, with each paw step becoming more and more nervous to meet the other medicine cats. As he entered the clearing he waved his tail to Briarrose before she separated from the group and approached an unfamiliar she-cat. Hearing someone address Fawnshine he turned his head and smiled at the new medicine cat apprentice. "Smokestep." he meowed softly, giving her a moment's glance before looking back to Fawnshine, content to let her take over the conversation. With the nerves of his first Gathering as a medicine cat apprentice, he was frankly, quite overwhelmed. Echopaw is with Fawnshine and the other medicine cats.
Foxpaw stayed home. Sleepyhollow stayed home with Vulturepaw.
Batsong went to find the fellow meddies, she saw smokestep and greeted her back happily.
"h-hello smokestep she greeted. She was very interested seeing so many deputies sitting on the rock... interseting.
She spotted the shadowclan leader nightstar and her eyes narrowed in distain for him.
Batsong is talking to the meddies and has greeted smoke
Spruce is sick and has stayed home this time
Swiftheart followed after her clan and was curious as to why her brother was not taking his place up on the rock... was he alright? She sat near him unsure of what was happening but she would always have his back in this. Swiftheart is open to talk
Stormwatcher sat near the back of the gathering spot hoping he wouldnt be noticed back here so he could nap throguh this meeting. Besides, it was past his normal bedtime.
Storm is open to talk but he might be grumpy
Eaglefly sat near his clan but is looking for someone to talk with Eaglefly wants to meet someone

Celandinepaw's head turned quickly when an unfamiliar voice addressed her. Her eyes sparkled. Her very first non-skyclan cat! The apprentice nodded quickly. "Hi! Nice to meet you, Fennelpaw. I'm Celandinepaw from Skyclan! I'm a new apprentice." She smiled warmly. "This is my first gathering. Is it the same for you or have you gone to others before?"
She couldn't believe she was talking to someone from another clan. Fennelpaw was from windclan too! How cool was that? She'd heard that skyclan and windclan were rather different and was eager to learn how much. Celandinepaw is talking to Fennelpaw! :D
Burrpaw practically skipped to the gathering but held back enough to practically talk Fuzzface's ears off, blue eyes wide and a huge grin on his face. His first gathering! Think of all the possibilities! He was going to see the other clan leaders and deputies (although, his leader and deputy were probably ten times more awesome than any of the others).
Fuzzface did his best to answer the endless questions Burrpaw had for him but the apprentice wasn't satisfied. He wanted to go and look at everything and everyone like right now!
"Oooo look at that! Are those the medicine cats, Fuzzface? Wait, are those the leaders or deputies up there? Look at all the warriors! No, look over there! He has a ton of scars! Do you think I'll get scars when I grow older? I wanna have some so I can look just as cool." On and on he went as both mentor and apprentice made it to the clearing.
Burrpaw was practically vibrating with excitement. He looked back to his mentor and made an expectant face. "Let's go find someone to talk to! There's gotta be loads of cool stories to hear at a gathering!" he insisted before dashing away, not really paying attention if his mentor was even behind him or not.
The apprentice oohed and aahed as he wandered everywhere. He stopped a few times to listen to a couple of conversations that were happening before continuing on. He was still looking for his own cat to talk to.
Finally, he noticed a lone apprentice during his walk. He grinned and bolted right to him. This was perfect!
He skidded to a stop in front of the other apprentice. He was still trying to memorize the scents of the other clans so he wasn't sure what clan the other was from. It didn't matter. Burrpaw was excited to meet anyone really.
"Hiya!" he chirped with a grin. "I'm Burrpaw. I'm from Windclan and I'm a new apprentice." He puffed out his chest. His tail wiggled eagerly. "Is this your first gathering too? What's your name and what clan are ya from?" He looked at the other tom expectantly while bouncing on his paws. Burrpaw is talking to Lionpaw! :D
