**Cougarivy**
Shadowclan Enforcer Commander
The small she-cat set her bouncy short steps to match the pace of Elmshadow's long, fluid strides. She'd seen him leaving camp early in the crowd of Shadowclanners; it'd been a pleasant change of pace and so she hurried to catch up to him. She was carrying his kits now and they were the power couple she always knew they could be, it only made sense that they started flaunting it. He couldn't very well deny his feelings for her anymore, not with his kits only days from being here. She let a small shiver run down her spine, using the energy to shake the water clinging to her pelt then hurried to catch up to Elmshadow. As they walked out into the sands of the gathering, Cougarivy took in a deep breath of the heavy, salty air. It was a new day, another gathering but a whole new start and she felt every bit of regality as she positioned herself staunchly at Elmshadow's shoulder. She kept with Elmshadow's pace as he took his seat near the other medicine cat. She glanced at him but he hadn't looked at her, hadn't made any acknowledgement of her presence at his side, but she knew he knew she was there intentionally and the fact he hadn't motioned her away was egging her on. So she took the chance and took a seat beside him, her fur brushing against his as she turned and looked out over the gathered cats. She held her breath for a couple heartbeats, waiting to see if Elmshadow would send her away. When nothing came, her attention turned out to the gathered cats. It seemed all of the clans had arrived and she figured it was only a matter of time before something turned towards chaos or disruption.
