High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]
Glidingfeather couldn't stop the groan that threatened to escape her. What, was she just expected to sit around and not do anything? Come on Buckstar, have some faith in her. "Walking away means that they think they can keep doing that. I think confrontation was the right thing to do. Now, I'm not going to say I handled things perfectly. I let her get to me, sure, but I still tried to maintain my posture. I would not have acted on the threat. It was made to potentially scare Echo-whatever off, which I know wasn't the best idea. And, you know what? I somewhat regret the way I handled that. Take it in, buckstar. Im admitting that I made some rather big mistakes" she mewed through gritted teeth, not even looking at him. He could scold her all he wanted, she didn't care...that much.
When Twilightstar stepped in, though, well...there went her good first impression. Oh well. To her, it just seemed like the windclan leader was just repeating what had already been said, so she just met her gaze with a disinterested look, "As I just said, I know that I didn't handle things perfectly. I know. Chicory showed obvious disdain towards her blindness, and your warrior decided to insult her based on her disabilities and insecurities. Though her reaction was...egged on, she still decided to respond the way she did. The thing is, we all decided to respond the way we did." She was doing her best to stay calm, but these cats were making it really damn hard. Oh, apologies? Yeah, sure. She could have one. But that didn't mean it wasn't going to be a bit snarky. Sorry twi, but she wasn't one for apologizing. "well, I apologize for causing a scene" there, that should do it. It sounded pretty genuine, and in part it was. That was pretty good, if she said so herself.
Oh well, she assumed it was about time to clean up her act a bit. She tuned to Chicorybee, a bored expression on her face, "Chicory, lets just be the bigger cats and apologize like Twilightstar suggested, shall we? I did it, so you can too" She sighed, smirking slightly at her friend. Looking at Buckstar, she groaned quietly. wow, well he was mad. She had a slight feeling that she didn't exactly gain the favor of anyone watching the whole scene, but she didn't really care anymore. She shrugged and just settled into her seat, not bothering to continue with the topic. she still wasn't used to the new responsibilities she had gained, the reputation she had to uphold, or the cookie cutter way she had to act since she became deputy. It was unnerving, in a way. But she wasn't going to admit that. She would take those insecurities to her grave. She had some things to say in her defense when he inevitably questioned her after the gathering, but she knew that she would have to wait. If she didn't, she knew that it would just further the problem. So, for once, her brain outweighed her anger.
