High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Twilightstar dipped her head to two leaders as ThunderClan and RiverClan began to head home. There was nothing overly eventful she learned during this meeting besides ShadowClan seemed to think they were the strongest clan in the forest now? She didn't know nor care so long as her clan was left in peace.
"WindClan let's go home!" Twilightstar yowled, leaping down onto the sand to lead the clan back to their territory.

He couldn't much fathom the concept of his Clan leader wasting time or her precious energy on anything that wasn't violent, truthfully. Beastspark on the other paw was potentially thoughtful enough for something that didn't include bloodshed. His eyes move over to the deputy for a moment while Nettlespark entertained the thought.
"You will," he says suddenly, snapping back out of it. He could only reassure the molly so many times, but he didn't mind. "And..." He becomes a little bit quiet again while Whiskernose speaks. It took a lot of energy to contain himself, surprisingly. Nettlespark's mind was a maze of 'drive him away' and 'run!' but all he could manage to do was sit there, playing in the sand at his paws like a sullen little kid. But out of the blue, he gets a paw to the nose! Flinching with visible shock, he gives a cross-eyed look to the culprit: Deadpool's paw. Then he looks at Deadpool herself, confusion bright in his eyes. She thought he wasn't going to play nice? Embarrassment forces his rather poofy pelt to almost wilt down as he shrinks into a crouch, though no amount of embarrassment could make him seem less like a cotton ball at this point.
He says nothing until Butterflypaw is mentioned. He'd entirely forgotten that she'd have needed a mentor, too. The tom blinks at his Clanmate. It seemed a little bit funny that they both had gotten former WindClan members to mentor, but surely that was the best outcome they'd possibly find. "It's almost like they assigned the little guys to us on purpose, seeing as we helped out then," the tom contributes lamely, still rather stuck on the nose pap after all. It was also what she'd said- They only saw each other once in a while. Once in a while... That was unfortunate. All of a sudden, the desire to ask her about maybe hanging out some other time bubbles up out of the dark and he has to bite his tongue not to blurt it out. How silly! Of course she wouldn't agree to something like that! They were barely even friends yet anyway, how could he think- Green eyes flash as he peeps up at the she-cat while she spoke to Whiskernose, lingering for a couple of heartbeats before turning away again. Nettlespark idly doodles long swirling arcs in the sand. It sure was newleaf.

Deadpool might try and do something like that, finding something productive for ShadowClan to do that didn't involve fighting. From her point of view, RiverClan's been pretty helpful to the other clans, she felt the only reason they fought with ShadowClan was because of Icestar. She wondered if Beastly had the same type of bloodlust that his leader did.
The molly found it endearing how supportive Nettlespark was being with her. It was nice, he was normally pretty kind but he still had his weird moments. A chuckle leaves her maw at his reaction to her boop, he does that poofy thing with his fur again. It made her wonder what other reaction she could get him to do. Would Whiskernose react the same way if she did it to him? She glances at the warrior, still waiting for his reply to her questions, before looking back to Nettlespark. One second he was a ball of fluff and the next he was deflated, did she do something wrong there? Or not since he perked up with the apprentices being mentioned.
She nods in agreement to his words, Deadpool's head snaps in the direction of the stones as Duskstar yowls a closing to the gathering. That was followed by RiverClan's departure and then Twilightstar calling them to head home. "Ah, home I go." Deadpool sighed somewhat sadly as her leader gathered her clanmates to head back to camp. "See yous next Gathering?" She questioned the pair as she got to her paws.
