Dashclaw purred softly at his kits' optimism. "That's right, WindClan does have new kits." Harewhisker had remained behind to be with his mate and kits. Dashclaw lightly shivered at the thought of how he left things with his brother, but he pushed the conversation forward. "I'm sure the other Clans will be here soon and we'll find out for ourselves. I bet they'll be other apprentices who are eager to speak with you three."

Swiftstar padded over to Blacktail. "I'm glad to see the four oaks were unharmed in the fire." He said to the deputy, his tail flicking. "Starclan willing, they'll never fall to something like this." Blacktail nodded lightly, his yellow eyes flickering with memory as he gazed at the sacred land. "So much has happened here, of all places, this would be a tragedy to lose. So long as we have the Oaks, we have the four clans together." He mewed. "Are you ready?" He asked.

"I do love meeting other apprentices at gatherings." Soarpaw purred. The young tom glanced around before he mewed. "Mother will want to know about what happens, so I'll have to keep my ears wide open." He turned his head as Antpaw offered a small snicker. "Dad, do you think Swiftstar will announce first? Who decides which clan speaks first?"

Swiftstar nodded, then leaned in so only his deputy could hear. "Between you and me Blacktail, if the other clans made it out of the fire even half as bad as Shadowclan did....well we might be in better shape than we think." He whispered before leaning back. He hadn't had the chance to brief his deputy on his trip to ShadowClan since his return. He let out a small cough.

Dashclaw flicked his ear, already having that mental note to tell Grasslight everything that's going on. As for his kit's question, he lightly frowned in thought. "Well, I'm not sure who will speak first. Typically, the gatherings began with the oldest leader, so Lightningstar might speak first. Unless, of course, someone has a furball up their butt, then they'll demand to speak first like ThunderClan and RiverClan typically do when they're arguing about those rocks between their border."

He hadn't had the chance to brief his deputy on his trip to ShadowClan since his return. He let out a small cough. "...It was that dire?" Blacktail mumbled, his ears flicking with worry. Shadowclan was many things, but they didn't deserve to suffer so brutally. He thought of Northstar, having to watch her clan burn from Starclan. His heart ached at the thought, and his concern for Cedarstar grew. He was young, a new leader, and to go through this...

"Lightningstar really is old, huh?" Antpaw snickered playfully, his tail flicking as mischeif filled his eyes. "I bet his muzzle is all gray and spotty. I bet they'll change his name to Graystar." "That's rude, Antpaw." Soarpaw scolded gently, though a hint of humor filled the tom's eyes as he looked at his brother. "What if Lightningstar hears you? We'd embarrass Windclan!" "He's too old to hear me." Antpaw puffed his cheeks.

Swiftstar nodded, not saying more. Would the young leader even be able to make it to the gathering, or would his deputy fill in? Swiftstar flicked his ear, uncertain of how the night would go.

Is it alright that for me I had Autumnpaw come with Thunderclan, Burrowpaw come with Windclan, Milkclaw come with Skyclan, and Kingpaw come with Riverclan? Treadtail wouldn't have been able to cross the thunderpath and he's my only shadowclan character so he wouldn't come))

Swiftstar flicked his ear, uncertain of how the night would go. “Remain steadfast. The other clans will see that Windclan is always united, that neither flames nor traitors can break us.” Blacktail rumbled, looking at his leader with steady support. “..I am always at your back.” He promised, though something almost wistful lingered in his voice. A realization the older tom was beginning to feel. Windclan needed him now, and would need him for certainly moons longer...he only prayed that Starclan would grant him enough strength in his age to go as long as he was needed. He shook the thought away, knowing it was not time to think of his future retirement. “The news of kits will certainly bring good tidings.”

Ashsong sat with her tail curled around her paws, wondering when the other clans would arrive.
Crowfrost kept to himself, watching as the rest of the gathering patrol spread out.

((I think in general we allow our members to decide for themselves who they want to bring to the gathering, unless there is some sort of story reason why your character wouldn't be able to attend, feel free to bring whoever you want )) Swiftstar nodded. "Hopefully the other clans will have similar news. Kits would be good for everyone." As he spoke, Swiftstar knew that wasn't completely true. Leafbare was coming with frost as sharp as a claw. More kits did bring joy, but it brought more mouths to feed. Would the other clans be able to sustain more clanmates on less territory? Fawnspots padded over to Crowfrost and sat down next to him. "I wonder if the other clans will come." She said as she glanced around the clearing. It felt strange being the only clan among the great oaks.

Crowfrost glanced at Fawnspots and nodded, “I’m sure they’ll be here soon.” He said, flicking his tail, “We’re still not entirely sure how some of the other clans came out of the fire, but I doubt that would stippling the other clans from coming to the gathering.”

Fawnspots nodded. "The forest looks horrible." She said softly. "What if the other clans are gone?" She turned her wide eyes towards her former mentor (I think). "Could that even happen?"

Crowfrost shook his head, looking at Fawnspots, “I doubt that’s possible.” He said, “Don’t forget, Swiftstar did go and see ShadowClan not that long ago.” He added, “They’ll be here.”

Younger generations tend to stray when events like these occur.” Blacktail sighed softly. “...Will you mention her?” He did not speak Medowbrook’s name, speaking only so Swiftstar could hear him, knowing his leader would understand who he was referring to.

Brownleaf shuffled his paws uncomfortably as he waited for the other clans to arrive. He didn’t really want to be here, especially if Swiftstar decided to announce what Meadowbrook did. But Swiftstar had named him in the list of cats coming to the gathering, and he didn’t want to disappoint his leader.

I just uh...wanted to let you know that I’m here for you. You’re my friend, after all.” He promised, knowing how heartbroken he must have felt. He himself missed and was shaken up by Meadowbrook, though Brownleaf had to have been taking it hard.

Be careful what you say here. As long as the other Clans aren't around, your jests are fine, but you have to be respectful to the other Clans when they're near. Any insult could lead to a war, especially with how tattered the forest is currently."

I’m kidding!” He quickly assured, pawing impatiently at the scorched grass beneath his paws. “I’ll be sweeter than honey, how about that?” “You certainly won’t smell like honey.” Soarpaw giggled, nimbly dodging Antpaw’s cuff with a moor-runner’s speed. He stood on his toes, before he looked at Dashclaw and mewed “Perhaps next gathering, we’ll have our Warrior names?”

Not that that's likely, but stranger things have happened." He flicked his ear as he thought more, and gave a slight cough as he did so. "Of course I won't go into too many details."

I’m doing as okay as possible, I guess.” He admitted. Knowing Siltpath was a friend of Meadowbrook’s made him much easier to talk to, at least compared to the rest of the clan. “But please, you don’t need to be concerned about me.” He added. “I don’t need any cats worrying over my sorry pelt.”

Fallowmeadow stood near the front of the crowd, her eyes unfocused as she kept her gaze pointed towards her mate. The she-cat was starting to feel the weight of the loss of their daughter and their clanmates as they stood, as smaller clan in fourtrees.
Wolfstep hovered close by to Fallowmeadow, not wanting to leave her alone. He spoke quietly to Jasmineheart, trying to keep up a lively conversation with the younger warrior.
Eclipsesky sat at the edge of the clearing, waiting quietly for the other medicine cats to show.

Fawnspots shrugged. "He didn't say anything about ShadowClan, maybe they're not super well off." She looked around and shivered slightly. "In any case they need to hurry up. Sitting here alone is weird"
Silverspirit sat down next to Eclipsesky. "I wonder if Stormfury will be here tonight." she said softly, knowing the medicine cat must be taking the tom's refusal to leave ShadowClan hard.

Eclipsesky looked up at Silverspirit, nodding in greeting to her. "I'm not sure, I believe his mate is close to kitting soon, he may not want to leave her." he mewed, trying to keep the bitterness out of his voice. "How will you feel having more kin in Shadowclan?" he asked tilting his head in genuine curiosity.

Silverspirit shook her head. "I don't know....they almost...don't..."feel like kin she finished the sentence in her head. Though her father was ShadowClan she had never felt any real attachment to the clan, just to him. "As long as Stormfury is happy, I suppose that's what counts."

His ears flicked lightly and he sighed. “She taught me alot, and...she really seemed like she cared about us. I...I guess it wasn’t so.” He muttered.

It’s best they know not to believe any of her lies, if she approaches with them.” Blacktail nodded his agreement, claws extending at the thought of seeing the former tunneler again.
