Drizzlecloud
Thunderclan
She/her
Drizzlecloud was quiet for the majority of the meeting, gazing up at Bumblestar with an almost blank expression. It’s not that she wasn’t paying attention–she was! She just didn’t have anything to say herself. The situation involving young apprentices, that was.. Something for sure, but she supposed that as long as their mentors went easy on them and kept them clear fro many sort of battle training, then it would be alright? Maybe. If there were any issues that came to light regarding these new apprentices, she would speak to Bumblestar about it privately.
The removal of the Caretakers role also didn’t bother her too deeply, either. Initially, it didn’t at the very least.
What came after,
oh, it definitely shocked her–and perhaps sparked a concern for removing the caretaker role all in all.
Her jaw dropped, breath caught in her throat for a moment before her mouth shut with an audible little ‘
snap’. The sudden uproar in the clearing didn’t shock her one bit–perhaps it was necessary. Her gaze darted from cat to cat, Frogpaw–Bumblestar–Frogpaw–Bumblestar again–Mapleface–Sharpclaw–and then, her eyes darted to the ground.
This was practically exile, wasn’t it? A part of her understood why Bumblestar made this decision, but she still felt a pang in her chest–the decision hurt, and she didn’t even know Blazepaw personally. The poor apprentice probably wasn’t even aware of what the clan was currently debating–whether he would be escorted out of his home forever or if he would be allowed to stay. But, really, could it even be considered a debate at this point?
This decision deeply hurt. It hurt in a way that made her small. No, it wasn’t just pity, it was
empathy and grief.
She lifted her head, gaze drifting to the apprentice in question. In a way, she could understand him. Not just the same, because at the very least she could see, and she still had one ear that she could hear out of most of the time–but with all things considered, she was a deafened cat herself. Her deafness was the reason why it took her so long to become a warrior, but Tigerblush was patient with her nonetheless. Her deafness was–she could only presume–the only reason why she was in Thunderclan at all. Why else would twolegs have cast her out when she was so little, if not for being difficult to raise?
This all hurt so much because she had a personal connection to the topic of disabilities, and seeing a clanmate being cast out because of it made her heart clench.
Drizzlecloud’s attention shifted back to Bumblestar instead, wearing a small but apparent frown on her face. She wasn’t sure if their leader would notice her displeasure at this decision, but either way, she’d be visiting Bumblestar after the meeting to talk. Would she be able to change her mind? Probably not, but she wouldn’t want something like this to happen if she could at least try to do something about it.
