Gingerstar's words basically confirmed her suspicions about StarClan. So, their ancestors were mad at them. It came as no surprise, really, given the state of... well, everything lately. But at least Gingerstar was being honest with the clan. She didn't envy being in the position he had been placed in with Beansprout and was eternally grateful he didn't put that secret on her shoulders. She didn't doubt there'd be other secrets, though. Not right now, but eventually, she'd likely be in a position where she was withholding information from RiverClan at her leader's request. Would she be able to? No, it wasn't a matter of whether she thought herself able or not, the simple fact of the matter was that she wouldn't have a choice in keeping those secrets, she would just have to keep them.

Currently, her leader had one extra life according to his words, putting him at a grand total of two. It wasn't a lot, heck, it wasn't even enough to have any wiggle room should something unthinkable happen. But it was something. At least StarClan was not entirely unwilling to grant him his lives. But what conditions would the ancient cats of the sky put him and the clan through in order to test if he'd earned a new one? Would they simply wait until he had lost his one extra life and then replace it as a consolation prize until he'd gone through all nine? Larkwing shuddered at that morbid thought. What a cruel paw to be dealt if that were the case.

For now, though, that was that and the meeting was adjourned. It still felt unreal, like she was in some sort of dream. Larkwing had never been the ambitious sort, she'd never had aspirations of being deputy, but here she was, with this new position of power that scared her more than anything. Nodding to the orange tabby who stood upon the Streamstone, acknowledging that this information was not to be shared (though she hoped that no one in the clan was mouse-brained enough to share such a thing even if Gingerstar hadn't specified).
