At the call for their first meeting, Doeflame strode forward, taking a seat near the front of the crowd. By now, she was fairly confident in her position as a somewhat senior warrior, and felt no need to stay near the edges of the crowd. Why should she? She was more of a warrior than any of the current maggot apprentices would ever be! At least that was what her posture and expression radiated. In reality, she was quite nervous, but to show that would not do. She didn't want to be labeled as weak by their new leader, a label that would not be advantageous in the days to come. So while inwardly she trembled, outwardly she radiated to the best of her ability calm and contentedness.
