At first she only stared longingly towards the large stones before she suddenly heard the walking stop and her large ears flicked backwards pinning to the back of her head. Her fear was small and her curiosity was larger than it. So taking a deep breath, she let her fur lay flat on her back and haunches. She forced her mouth shut and made sure the hostility and fear in her eyes faded, Slowly the deputy turned her heart in her throat and when her eyes fell upon a black furred feline who had been staring at her with her blazing blue like eyes. Suddenly her heart rate dropped as ease flooded her body.

She could recognize the she cat easily, the distinct fur and the scent of skyclan so very overwhelming. The riverclan deputy than let the other she cats rank sink into her mind before opening her mouth, than quickly closing her maw in frustration. "Auroraflame?" she quickly asked her eyes light with amusement. She was awe inspired by he she cat, she had been enemy to a ruthless rouge who had plagued skyclan for so long. Ending victorious. She had seen the she cat plenty of times, well not really it was only during gatherings but she wasn't hard to miss. The riverclans deputy's tail lashed amusement and her eyes sparkled.

"What brings you so far from skyclan?" she asked the deputy raising her chin in a friendly way. The orange and white tabby sat down sweeping her massive fluffy tail curling round her white paws. As she spoke she noticed how aurora must be completely unsure who she actually was- awkward. The Molly smiled faintly and stood back up. "S- sorry I'm going off to others about manners while I forget mine, I'm daisyshade-" she paused for a moment, getting used to addressing herself as deputy was going to take a long time and it really wasn't going to happen over night. "Riverclans new deputy" she said, her voice wavering slightly as the word deputy slipped between her teeth. She dipped her head respectively to the skyclan she cat before raising her eyes to face the she cat, pride and uncertainty all at the same time within her eyes.

As the other she-cat acknowledged her presence, Auroraflame sat down on the ground and curled her tail around her paws. She had the feeling that she'd be here for a little longer than she was expecting. The deputy was no longer surprised when someone from another clan knew who she was. For those who had been to gatherings before, they would've been able recognised her by now. She'd been to all four gatherings and she'd also stood by Grousestar's side when each clan had been liberated from the evil leaders.

As she stared at the other she-cat, Auroraflame came to the realisation that while the RiverClan cat knew her name, she didn't know the RiverClan cat's name. She had seen her around in the gatherings once or twice, but she'd never been properly introduced to her. The Bombay prepared herself to ask for the name of the she-cat, but the other cat spoke again before she could ask. Instead of feeling frustrated, she just gave a small smile. She could wait for the introductions to continue. She didn't mind waiting for a little longer. "I came away just to take my mind off everything for a bit," She replied, her gaze wandering away and staring out in the direction of the sea. Her icy gaze flickered back when the other she-cat spoke again. "Daisyshade...." She murmured quietly to herself. What a pretty name. "It's nice to meet you, Daisyshade. I believe you already know who I am," She said warmly, with a purr of amusement. At first, Auroraflame had been rather distant with the way she spoke and she'd been quiet, her expression blank but thoughtful. It was as if someone had opened a door to her because the words that she'd just spoken were warm and friendly. The deputy was typically quite quiet when she met someone new. She might even be described as shy. She only opened up when she became more trusting, or when she saw that the conversation was going somewhere. "RiverClan's new deputy?" She repeated, raising an eyebrow at the words. She must be one of the first cats from another clan to know this information. At the last gathering, or rather, battle, Russetstar had been leader and Fallenstream was the deputy. Apparently that had changed. "Well congratulations!" She said, her voice cheerful. "And please tell Fallenstre—star that I said congratulations," She added afterwards. The deputy was hoping that hearing that someone had congratulated him would give him a bit of encouragement. It probably wasn't easy, becoming a new leader when tensions were so high. When she'd spoken to him at the gathering, he hadn't seemed particularly confident, so maybe the word would help him.

"So, now that you know what I'm doing here, what about you? What brings you all the way from RiverClan's territory?" She asked. Her words were not suspicious or cold, but curious.
