a dark blueish grey bengal-patterned she cat with silver eyes

minkpaw listened silently, she had expected the raid to be one of the first topic birdsnow would address, but the list of clanmates that hadnt survived thunderclans coldblooded attack was still saddening. her head dipped in respect and grief and briefly send starclan a prayer for each of the cats, Moonfoot, Pricklefoot, Troutfall, Duckshade, Creekpelt and Flutterpaw, may their souls rest easy. her head snapped back up at the sound of birdsnows words, thunderclans attack had been cold blooded and punching them down while they were already on the ground, but attacking a clanmate?? she turned her head to eye the cats responsible for causing even more harm for riverclan, duststorm and mintslip. more exiles, more cats dead, she let out a silent sigh, they felt like moons passed since the last meeting and not just a few weeks.
her head turned back to look at birdsnow while she talked momentarily before following her leaders gaze to a kit that had apparently pretended to be apprenticed already. at least this wasnt as saddening as the other news, it was just..weird really. but the thought of a kit being out during a battle made her queasy anyway, hopefully someone had noticed before anything bad happened..still in thought about sunkit her ears pricked at low murmuring a few taillenghts behind her, loud enough to pick up but too quiet for her process before birdsnow addressed it. their leader was right, no matter who stood on the floodstone they had the right to be heard, especially if it was their leader, their only high rank. and even if they personally didnt want to listen they should shut up and just leave, that was not what a proper warrior would do, but a proper warrior wouldnt speak badly of their leader during a meeting. momentarily grateful for the way her mother had raised her to be a proper part of the clan and to never uselessly disrespect her leaders, she almost didnt catch birdsnows displeased connotation when describing her medicine cat candidates had gone against her orders. had cobwebpaw done anything to make birdsnow mad? marigoldleap stepping up to temporarily aid in healing the clan was a huge relief though, the past day had been rough and hopefully marigoldleap could correct any mistakes they made. she turned to marigoldleap, chosing to give her a kind smile and offer her support without outright cheering, this probably wasnt the proper time to cheer anyway. perhaps marigoldleap could teach her a bit more if minkpaw told her about the experimental treatment she had had to resort to..
