Heroneye nodded silently at her apprentice. Softpaw could do anything, she said. Well, of course she couldn't. She hadn't even left the nursery at that point, much less had any battle training. Still, though, the Lionheart couldn't help but resonate with the apprentice's words. Though at least she had an excuse.

Heroneye shook her head slightly. No, she'd have to stay in the moment--not in her own head. Softpaw had declined to speak with the other Clans. Though Heroneye could understand where she was coming from, well, that would kind of defeat the point of going to a Gathering in the first place.

She listened as Softpaw pointed out Watertail, explaining her family's situation a bit more. Heroneye suddenly felt a bit awkward, feeling that she knew a fair amount about those cats she'd never really even spoken to. Especially considering they probably didn't know too much about her. Not that there was a whole lot to know, but still. "I see," she murmured, gaze floating over to the tom.

Turning back to Softpaw, she would try again to have her interact with the other Clans. Surely she had some desire to do so, considering she had come instead of staying at camp. Perhaps she was simply nervous.

"Come on," Heroneye said, taking a single step forward, gesturing towards the crowd with her head. "Let's try talking to someone. I'll come with, if it helps."

( @ChromeSilver_Hwaa - Softpaw )

Softpaw nodded as her mentor listened to her words about Watertail, her ears perking and her tail flicking nervously as she was told to talk to someone, told a second time usually meant she had to and It wasn't a suggestion. "Alright...... please come though...." Softpaw murmured, she was nervous to talk to the other clans, as well as reluctant in a bit of an angry way. Her green hues remained calm, her tail flicking gently behind her showing the only signs of irritance as she looked at the other clans, they'd hurt her family, killed her aunt and her uncle as well as her cousin. How could she forgive them for taking away so much..... so many cats that she loved? Although the thoughts raced through the apprentices mind, she externally was calm, only sharing her nervousness to the outside world
