High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]
Bumblestar's ears twitched as she caught snide comments from Oppossumsnap to another Clanmate. She glanced in their direction, watching Mudhound and Wolfpaw handle it, and curled her tail over her paws. "Cloudnose, I want you to speak to me after the meeting. Nothing bad, just wanna clear something up."
She cleared her throat, mentally prepping a list of things to go over before she actually got into them.
"Those of you who joined your Clanmates in the attack on RiverClan, thank you," she started. "We've hopefully taught the fish that we won't tolerate the poison they continuously spread, 'n if it turns out they need another reminder, I know many of you won't hesitate to do the same again. Our victory didn't come without our own losses, though. Curltail, Finchpaw, Blacklion, Honeydew, Wetwhisker, and Lakebelly were lost in the fray. They lent their strength and honor to ThunderClan 'n they won't be forgotten. Mudhound's already held a vigil for 'em at Willow's Rise. You're more than welcome to pay your respects to 'em there, give 'em a final send-off if you haven't yet had the chance.
"On the other paw, it appears some of our Clanmates decided to go the opposite route. Rateye, Tawnypaw, 'n Frecklefoot decided to turn against their Clanmates 'n my personal orders, 'n they were exiled from ThunderClan. I know I said exile wasn't a thing any longer, but consider the battle my last leniency. Wasn't too keen on wasting time in the middle of a fight when I had more important things to do."
Her gaze drifted over to the medicine den, a shadow falling over her features. "RiverClan also apparently saw fit to attack both of our medicine cats while they were very clearly just there to do their jobs on the sidelines. Springpaw appears fine for the most part, but Drizzlecloud's been incapacitated. I'm plannin' on speaking with Birdsnow after the next Gathering about it. If we don't get compensation for it, I'll figure something else out.
"In the meantime, I'm revokin' the kill on sight order. Keep off RiverClan's border unless I tell you otherwise. Apparently Larkstar's abandoned RiverClan 'n Birdsnow's taken her place. Wanna see what comes of that before we do anything else. If you got questions, now's the time to speak up, otherwise I'm movin' on."
