Halfgaze stepped into the clearing after Goldenstar, looking around at the same old meeting place with new wonder. Everything looked the same, despite her new position, but for the first time in all of her trips to the gathering, Halfgaze simply couldn't keep her gaze away from the leaders' rock. One day, she would be up there, and the thought sent chills down her spine. Halfgaze was certain she wasn't ready to be a leader, or even to address the four clans from the meeting rock. But, she was still a new deputy and she would learn and by the time it was her turn to speak from atop that looming rock, she'd be ready. The thought of Goldenstar dying, however, made the tortoiseshell so sick that she had to imagine him retiring instead. For now, she let her daydreams go and focused on the milling cats about her, happy with the way things were at the moment instead of wishing for time to move faster as some deputies might. Scenting the air, the new deputy deduced that only Shadowclan and Windclan were present at the moment. Good, I still have some time to figure out where to sit. The new deputy was pretty sure that deputies had their own place, but she wasn't sure where it was. Halfgaze dreaded being absent from that place during her first gathering as a deputy. I'm hopeless, she thought with a frown and a desperate gleam in her eyes, how do I expect to be of service to my clan if I can't even figure out where to sit? For the moment, the tortoiseshell decided to simply sit near the front of seastones and keep an eye out for any deputies she recognized in order to follow or ask them.

(here we go!) ( @Charmer ? Only if you want to roleplay here )

Rosebelly entered the clearing, taking in a deep breath. Scents mingled around her, almost making her dizzy. Soon, she recollected herself. Rosebelly glanced around, analyzing the other Clans. ShadowClan looked calm and were idly chatting with WindClan. WindClan, on the other hand, were not calm. As soon as ThunderClan entered the clearing, several cats were shooting them glares. Something big was going to happen. She just knew it. Swallowing, Rosebelly padded further into the Gathering, and settled down.

Alliumeyes bounded into the clearing, eyes shining. This was her first Gathering as a warrior! Dirtpaw no more! Alliumeyes took in all the scents. WindClan and ShadowClan were here. Alliumeyes completely ignored the fact that WindClan was eying ThunderClan suspiciously, and bounced away.

He spotted Rosebelly getting situated in the crowd and padded over, sitting beside her and shooting her a glance that he meant to communicate warmth, but there was worry in that green-eyed gaze. Cherrydawn padded in on the tail end of the Thunderclan warriors, trying to hold her head high, but her heart felt heavy. In spite of her best efforts, as Thunderclan entered the clearing and she saw that Windclan was already there, the ginger and white shecat looked for Skyfeather in the crowd... @Flameleaf

Rosebelly heard Morningblue pad beside her and sit down. She turned her head to meet his gaze, worry evident on her own. Frowning, she spoke up. "How've you been? Anything new happen?" Rosebelly began to relax. Chatting with friends was good for a tense situation like this. Suddenly, Rosebelly was brimming with excitement to tell Morningblue about her apprentice's warrior ceremony. Forget WindClan, it's time to catch up with friends, even if they are from the same Clan.

The golden tabby practically skipped into the opening, his fur shining as brightly as the sun itself, a huge smile plastered on his maw. He loved gatherings, he loved meeting new felines, new potential friends. He had met a few aquaintances here, most of them Windclan, which made him incredibly happy. He happily made his way to a open spot and sat himself down, his ocean colored hues danced with excitement, yet at the same time they gleamed with worry. The pure anger that had been happening between Windclan and Thunderclan worried the tom, he had many friends in Windclan, and he was positive that the two clans wouldn't be able to handle it if a war broke loose, especially with so little food the two were finding.
Dayhum wrapped his tail around his paws and twitched his little pink nose, watching all the felines around him with curiosity, wondering who would pad up to him and strike up a conversation. Someone he knew, or would it be some one new?

[Shc]
The pale colored feline was already sitting right below the mound where the leaders meet, his bright, big, curious eyes watched Snowstar and Blazingstar intently, any feline would have to be a mouse-brain to not notice just how much the two disliked each other. He shook his head and let out a sigh, his ears folding against his head and his tail wrapping around his paws, he didn't like it when leaders couldn't get along, it spelled trouble for both their clanmates and the clans around them, Blazingsky just wished they could see that.
Recently the warrior had been trying his hardest to help around the camp, feeling as though he has to make up for something he had done, which, in all honesty he couldn't think of a single thing. For a bit he just supposed that his paws were itching to move, itching to do something other than walk around all day in the clearing. His sapphire hues grazed the opening, looking at every single feline for only a few seconds, he loved gatherings, but he hated it when clans brought their hatred with them.

His clan was the first clan here, which didn't surprise him, after all that's how Blazingstar worked, he preffered to be early rather than late, which sits fine with him, he just wished he didn't have to wake up so early. The muscular feline let out a yawn and licked his chest fur, trying to get his mind off of how sleepy he was, which he was very sleepy, he had to watch the camp for the night, which he was very happy to do, but he would have loved to get some sleep as well. The Siberian tom lashed his tail and looked up at Blazingsky, his sky blue optics lingering for a moment before be brought them down and looked directly infront of him. He didn't have an opinion on the two leaders behavior, or, well he did he just wouldn't say it because it wasn't any of his business, not yet atleast, but it would be if it was decided that the two were going to fight.
Sleepingcloud was a pacifist, he wouldn't lift a claw to harm another unless that feline had slaughtered his whole clan, but even then he wasn't sure if he would harm that feline. Though he is a warrior, and he is loyal, and he would die for his clan, he wouldn't harm others just to prove how loyal and strong he is for his clan, there are other ways to prove that.
