"Dad!" he squeaked quietly.

After he finished his grooming, he gulped as he looked around simply observing. He shuddered as he felt something poke at his side before turning to see Crowkit. His eyes widened.

" Crowkit did you sneak out? Or did Quailfur let you out of the nursery? "

He sighed before scooting the kit forward near him, gesturing him to sit. It would be his first experience to finally see a meeting up close. Pointing with his tail to the cats upon the willow.

" See the cat up there? That's Cinderstar. Our leader, and the cat over there is Sparrowflight. Our deputy. Those are two very important cats, always treat them with respect. "

He meowed, he has to teach an apprentice and 4 kits. He snorted inwardly, a funny situation this was for him.

"I snuck!" he giggled mischievously and stared up at his father. Feeling Thrushfur's paw scoot him in the direction of an available spot near him, Crowkit happily (and awkwardly) stomped his way over. His green eyes saw that Thrushfur's tail was pointing to two unfamiliar faces. Then again, nearly the entire Clan was unfamiliar to him.

"Cinderstar? Sparrowflight?" he whispered in awe, putting names with faces, and looked at the silver bengal and cream-colored she-cats. "Cinderstar leader... Sparrowflight deputy..."

Weaselpaw sinked in and meshed in with the crowd of cats. He sat down before looking over to see Thrushfur and a kit talking. He stood and switched his spot as he drew closer to the two of them. He wondered who that kit was by his mentor. He flicked his tail and sat near the two of them. He greeted his mentor formally dipping his head.

" Hello Thrushfur, has the meeting started already? "

He leaned his head forward to get a glimpse of the kit by Thrushfurs side. Pale brown fur that seemed the same shade as Thrushfurs. He slowly boggled up all the information before he clicked. That's right, that's his kit he was talking about a few days ago. He gave a small smile as he greeted the tom-kit as well. He didn't really communicate well with these little scraps of fur, he just felt a bit awkward to be around them. But built up the courage.

" Hello little kit, my name's Weaselpaw."

He let out a small purr.

| Softpaw of Thunderclan |

As Softpaw was hugged by Cinderstar [With no time to process that Cinderstar was there, but oh well], she felt a bit of relief, she was with her mom again but also was not immediately grounded for all eternity, now. . .the explanation.

' 'I went out on my own for a bit due some stress, which I know you're not supposed to do but I'd done it plenty of times before and was fine all things considered, but I must've gone out of the territory or, twolegs are in our territory, because I somehow managed to get snagged by some. . .if you couldn't tell by this annoying thing around my neck.' '

She did show slight annoyance in her tone at the end of the sentence, but it wasn't directed at Cinderstar, more so at the stupid butterfly neck thing. ' 'You can ground me for all eternity if needed.' ' Softpaw knew she didn't need to add that last bit, but she did anyway, just so her mom knew there'd be no hard feelings if she was stuck in the apprentices den forever, or the leaders den if she really decided to go down the overprotective mom route.

Thrushfur? That's his name? Crowkit perked his ears at hearing an unfamiliar voice. Whomst him? the kit then peered around his father's leg, seeing a black tom with yellow eyes. Not knowing what else to do, Crowkit smiled and tilted his head in an effort to nod, acknowledging the older cat.

"W-weaselpaw?" he found it a bit difficult to pronounce that name but ignored that strange feeling at the moment. "Hi! I'm Crowkit!"

Larkstorm dipped her head to Cindersky. "I'm sorry to hear about Dawnstar. When I left, I didn't imagine that her reign would last so long. And yes, I was surprised myself at how well the Twolegs handled my leg." Larkstorm flicked her ear, wondering who was the new leader of ThunderClan. Surely they wouldn't give the role back to Necterflame? But Larkstorm was shocked to hear Cindersky's next words. Cinderstar! That's amazing." The she-cat dipped her head to Cinderstar, realizing she hadn't been giving the ThunderClan leader the respect she deserved. "I'm glad you were chosen, and Sparrowflight must be a great deputy. If you two are leading ThunderClan, then it will be like old times. I am back in ThunderClan, right?" Larkstorm hoped Cinderstar would say yes.

~Featherskies~

Featherskies glanced behind her, and
sat down, lightly. She looked around
at her surrounding Clanmates, and
yawned. Her soft, Silky golden fur
shifted against her skin in the light
breeze, and her featherish tail
swished against the ground.

The Molly was is a fine mood today,
and looking for some kits to calm
down during the clan meeting. She
would hate for it to be interrupted
by younglings who only wanted to
play!

Her blue gaze scanned the clearing,
waiting for one to maybe show up,
like they did every once and a while.
She seemed to be good with kits,
and hoped to one day have some
of her own.

Amberbloom rushed to the Thunderwillow, eager to hear any news that Cinderstar would be sharing.

Just pounce on my back and grab some of my neck fur if you need help to stay on. Blazingkit you'll come up after Vinekit. Then once you two feel comfortable, I can take you on a badger ride and Vinekit can come along- though I don't think I can carry her on my back... Vinekit, are you alright to walk beside me while Blazingkit is on me?"

Flamepaw smiled and half-sat, half-crouched so the two could pounce on her without too much difficulty, "Ready when you two are!"

@Fenixwolf

Blazingkti scrambled over to the apprentice, sitting down next to Vinekit. Impatience ached in his head and his eyes kept moving away as he listened to Flamepaw’s order. His claws gripped the floor, counting as a last straw. When Flamepaw was finished and half-sat, the light brown kit moved in front of Vinekit and immediately tried to do a little pounce on Flamepaw’s back.

Flamepaw chuckled at Blazingkit’s attempt and gave his butt end the support it needed to make a full jump. Looking down, it seemed like Vinekit had disappeared. Probably got distracted or something… typical kit thing. she guessed and slowly rose to her paws, careful to not let Blazingkit fall to the ground.

“Ready?” She asked with a flick of her tail, knowing the kit wouldn’t be able to see much else.
