Adderpaw was taken a back when she saw the first cat to wonder over with an angry look in their eyes. She quickly shook it off. The cat just might be in a bad mood. "
Feel free to come in closer." Adderpaw called to them with a soft smile. She needed to talk to everyone in this event she was organizing.
Adderpaw saw a few cats come up and smiled brightly. "
Hello all of you thank you for coming." She said nicely before one of the apprentices spook up. This was Willowpaw, she had never had the chance to talk to them but with all this energy they brought. She loved it! "
Thank you Willowpaw! This is the kind of energy I want, no the clan needs! We need to work together as a family. Enough of this infighting, it tearing us all apart!"
"
Eaglecall, Treestripe, Smolderpaw! It great to see all of you come here." She said with a bright smile. She didn't know the warriors the best but she definitely seen Smolderpaw in the apprentice den. They had a good head on their shoulders.
"
Welcome to this gathering, glad you decided to come over" Another warrior! This was going to be great!
Ah another apprentice! This was great. The more of her fellow apprentices that showed up the more confident that Adderpaw felt in this event she had gathered. Not to say she wasn't confident in this at all, it was reassuring that her peers showed up. "
Thank you for coming here." She said with a smile.
"
Thank you Toadpaw for your agreement. Loyalty is very important to the clan! Also Welcome to you and all of you" She smiled to the apprentice and the kits who tagged along.
"
Hello Bluefang it is great to see you, thank you for coming over." Wow personally greating everyone was taking a lot of energy! A part of her didn't expect this many people but it overjoyed her.
Another warrior, this was good. "
Hello Pepperbounce!"
"
Welcome to this Bunnytuft. It is good to see you." She greeted. Another warrior to have come along. Adderpaw hoped that this warrior would be on the side of order. To her, they looked like they could be very dependable. There wasn't anything that struck out to her why, but she just had a feeling.
"
Welcome Foxkit" Adderpaw purred. All the kits that were attending were so cute and reminded her of when she was a kit. Even then she was a kit she was staunchly devoted to the clan and it was nice to see the younger ones were too.
Then there was the last cat for right now. A warrior she had seen before. Yes that was right he was there when the group of rogues decided to try and kidnap one of their apprentices. Those cold eyes trained on her took her aback for a moment. Not out of fear but out of admiration for how strong of a fighter and his devotion of his clan. This was a cat she was very glad to see here so she gave him a polite head dip. "
Thank you for coming here Jayfrost, I am very happy to see you."
Now that everyone was personally greeted, Adderpaw felt like it was time to move things along. She was glad to see that so many cats had actually listened to her and tagged along and that there was a diversity in ages and rank. This is what they needed, many different cats who showed their loyalty who had different perspectives on things. If this many cats could agree on something this would be a good thing for the clan. She hoped with this act alone that more cats would show their loyalty, such that if they saw other cats becoming devoted like this then they might be swayed as well. Derision turned to indifference. Indifference turn to engagement. Engagement turned to wholehearted zeal A change in the zeitgeist of this clan. Perhaps the last big was too lofty of a goal but Adderpaw never flinched at a challenge
Now it was all nice and all to chitchat and great every cat that came up to here but if she continued like this nothing would actually get done. Those who came later would be acknowledged but not to the same degree. Depending how much Adderpaw wanted to run her tongue. "Thank you all for those who have gathered here. I hope that all of you have come here in the idea of proving your loyalty to Larkstar but let me remind you this. You can disagree. If anyone attacks anyone out right for held beliefs you will be kicked out of here even if you are on the side of loyalty. We need order and you can't break it." She took a moment to take a pause to see the other cat's expressions. How were they reacting to her words? "An open dialog is welcomed but a discussion will be had if you aren't on board. I would like to see why one wouldn't have loyalty to Larkstar and see if I can change your mind." She said.
"Before we begin on what we will do to prove loyalty, please any of those who are not onboard please come over closer to me so I know who you are." Adderpaw said with a smile. She hoped that no one was hiding their feelings if no one stepped up, she was trying to stress as much as she could that this was going to be a safe place. A safe place to those who were not violent that is.
