High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Stormstar - RiverClan Leader

...The lack of reaction to the deaths made something within the leader's stomach churn. Normally there was uproar, yowling, fights... and while Stormstar didn't necessarily wish for those, this lack of care she was getting from her Clan made it hard to hold her tongue. She had to resist the urge to unsheathe her claws and let them scrape the rock she stood on and focus on keeping her tail from lashing.

There was one cat's reaction that didn't surprise her - and that was Goldfish. She would've had to be the most daft leader to ever exist to not notice the chemistry between Jays and her Lionheart. So when she gave a nod, Stormstar already knew: Goldfish was coming on that patrol whether the leader called for her or not. Which, good. She needed cats with that fire, that drive, if they were ever going to stand a chance against the otters.

Before she could conclude the meeting though, scampering paws up the pathway that led to the leader's perch caught her attention, and she turned her frown towards Shellpaw, blue eyes narrowed. A flick of her ear was the only acknowledgement she gave Goldfish, though she hoped the Lionheart would do a better job of teaching her kid that this was not appropriate behavior. In fact, she knew she would have to talk about reassigning the apprentice, because whatever bees her brother had in his brain of assigning the kids mom to be his mentor...

"Meetin's over. I'll round up a patrol in the comin' moon. For now, be mindful of Smallpines 'n remember the four tail-lengths rule," she called before turning to Shellpaw. "You've got about three seconds until I make you Shellkit again to get back down from the Skyridge," came the stern rebuke, blue eyes narrowed. Stormstar took a single step back, jerking her head in the direction which Shellpaw came. If he didn't want to leave himself, she'd carry him down with her.

[ totally forgot to conclude the meeting so not doing a mass mention LOL @Blaaze @otter ]
