Her green gaze was bright and showed pride for her clan, although she was fairly known for going beyond boundaries when it came to other clans. Ever since meeting Pomegranteseed, the ebony feline was mostly interested in the she-cats of other clans. They were more interesting than WindClan's. She didn't know them and that's what made it exciting... that and the idea of getting caught being too friendly.

Dewberry stared longingly at the stars, her solemn ice blue gaze unbroken. Ever since her brother, Flintfur, joined the ranks of StarClan she hadn't been the same. Dewberry sighed softly, she almost wished she had pretended to be sick so she wouldn't have to attend the gathering. She broke off from the other RiverClan cats in the clearing, and moved a little further off, as to not be bothered.

Dustypaw bounded into the clearing with ShadowClan, his face alight with wonder. This was his first Gathering, and he couldn't be more excited! So many knew scents and sights came to him. Unlike most other apprentices at their first Gathering, he wasn't scared in the least. He loved meeting new cats, so he loved big crowds. Although, since he barely came up to some cats' shoulders, the short tom was having trouble making his was through the group. He settled for just dropping his head and weaving through and bumping into others while apologizing profusely. He was almost out of the throng when he smacked right into the side of another cat. "Oh StarClan, sorry!" he quickly sputtered. He'd headbutted this cat right in their flank, and he wasn't know for being tender-headed.

Talonpatch growled, his pelt bristling and was about to make a snarky remark until he realized it was just Dustypaw, an apprentice from ShadowClan, which happened to be his clan. He chuckled, his neck fur settling down. The grey and brown patched tom looked at the apprentice with amusement gleaming in his amber eyes, remembering his first gathering. "Geez, Dustypaw! Is your head made from rocks?" Talonpath joked.

[Open, I guess]

Orchidleap looked around distrustfully towards the other cats, keeping close to her cluster of clanmates. This was her first gathering, and even though they were to be meeting in peace, Orchid didn't trust a single one of them. So she just wouldn't talk to them, if possible. She wouldn't be rude of course. She just was anti-social. She didn't like talking to others, and even when she did, it was draining. So she just waited for someone to inevitably come and talk to her.

He sat down, giving a few licks to his pelt just to look presentable if anyone came up to talk to him. Glancing aroun, he spotted his sister, Snailpaw, not too far away talking to some tom. He felt some suspicion rise from his paws to his heart.
The medicine cat rolled his eyes, shaking the suspicion away. "Probably some tom sucking up to her because I'm a medicine cat and her brother." He scoffed.

With every step he took, Chickenpaw could feel his stomach swirling. "how..many germs are there..?!" he cried out to himself, sitting down near the back as he lifted one paw, trying to lift both of them without having to stand on hind legs. The grey and white yom wanted to leap onto some fresh, cool water and let it wash away any germs. But he couldn't swim, so he would wait until it rained..or he could risk it somehow. He shook the thought from his head, every few seconds raising both paws only for them to come back toppling into the sand. "Nasty..." He sulked.

Beetlefrost bounded to the seastones , head and tail held high, much like the blonde medicine cat she saw. She saw a somewhat familiar pelt, shrugging it off, she sat down beside the feline without realizing it was Sparkheart. Her gaze was set forward, onto the ledge as she looked up at Agaveheart. A bad time it was for shadowclan indeed, their leader was dead and deputy, well he resigned. "Have you heard about the news in shadowclan? About Windystar and Forestshade?" The name of the leader and deputy now sounded foreign on her tongue, they were no longer a leader and deputy.

Sparkheart glanced at Beetlefrost, but stayed calm. He believed that she might still be angry with him for leaving Shadowclan and almost drowning her, so he didn't expect her to come up to him. he wasn't sure if she knew who she actually sat by. Sparkheart glanced away from her, shifting to the side. "yes I have.", he meowed, hiding his face.

He took a step forward and saw a few cats shoot him wary glances as if they were scared he'd attack them, then again, this is how it always was and the new cats didn't make it any better. They shot him scared looks, muttered under their breaths and laughed at how big he was. He sighed and was actually about to leave the clearing before he spotted Snailpaw sitting alone. He smiled and slowly made his way over to her, sitting down next to her "Hey Snailpaw, how are you?"

Snailpaw was watching her brother look at her and Emeraldbush and scooted a little away from the older warrior, so Beepaw wouldn't suspect anything. "Hello.", she said. The apprentice looked down at her paws until she felt that her brother's eyes left her.

Emeraldbush noticed her scooch a bit away from him and he was a bit hurt at that but he understood "Hey, is everything okay Snailpaw? You seem a bit down." He gave her a worried and sympathetic look which caused a few of the cats in front of them to turn back and stare. He gave them all one glare and they immediately turned away with wide, scared eyes.

Snailpaw looked at him, remembering yesterday when she almost got taken off by a hawk. "I don't know if you heard, but I was almost carried off by a hawk yesterday and I wasn't able to sleep that well last night.", she meowed, leaving the part out of her going to her adopted brother Beepaw to get something to help her sleep.

"Oh Starclan, I'm sorry to hear that Snailpaw." He was about to twine his tail with hers but he hesitated, remembering that apprentices weren't allowed to have mates "Maybe once the gathering is over I could take you hunting for a bit, you know, try to cheer you up." He gave her a worried smile and rested the tip of his tail on her shoulder. Now he knew this wasn't weird since apprentices did it with each other all the time when comforting one another and the same went for all cats so he was in the right here.

Once she got a good look at who it was, her eyes widened with shock. She recognized this apprentice from when RiverClan had invaded ShadowClan's camp. He had been one of the first to take notice. She instinctively shied away, not knowing what to say to him. There was a truce, she knew, so no fights would break out, but the young RiverClan cat was still wary of her clan's current adversaries. Besides, it was her first gathering, too.
"Er...it's good to see ShadowClan made it here," she didn't make eye contact, and her fur bristled a little with discomfort. How was one supposed to react when meeting a rival clan so soon after battle?

Dustypaw stepped back to give the other cat some space. He didn't recognize her, but she looked about his age. He saw her eyes widen in shock as she realized the same thing he did--they had been on opposite sides of RiverClan's raid of ShadowClan camp not to long ago. The small tom bristled. Although he didn't remember seeing her, he would recognize that fishy smell anywhere. "RiverClan, too," he replied, eyes narrowed. He didn't feel any hostility towards this apprentice specifically, but considering that RiverClan had burst into their camp and threatened to tear their dens apart, he wasn't exactly ready to make friends with any RiverClanners just yet. His green eyes studied this apprentice, her stance, and how she seemed to be avoiding his gaze. With a sigh, Dustypaw forced his fur to lie flat. RiverClan and ShadowClan were at odds, but hostility was unnecessary. They were only apprentices, so it wasn't like they were going to be fighting each other any time soon. "What's it like in RiverClan, just now finding out about Windystar and Forestshade?" he sighed.

Dustypaw stifled a whine when he heard the other cat growl. Stepping back, he realized that he recognized this cat. Thank StarClan, it was only Talonpatch, a ShadowClan warrior. "Er, sorry Talonpatch!" he squeaked. "I just wasn't watching where I was going, I guess!" The young apprentice had only talked to Talonpatch a couple times, though he seemed nice.
