Toadkit, Sparrowkit, Rabbitkit and Blossomkit, Deerkit, and Wishkit listened.

Beekit kept sniffing everything.

Larkwing didn’t like the way Bumblestar issued her order, something Larkwing was certain was also a thinly veiled threat. Orders from a cat who was not her leader? Strangely, Larkwing didn’t like the feeling of receiving those. She should report this to Gingerstar— It took a moment before she realized that thought. Report this to Gingerstar? How could she? She couldn’t so much as speak to him. As the queen of Squirrels called for her patrol to leave Larkwing called out to her own clan, ”Hawkmask, Nightspark, Raventail… see to it that our guests get home safely.”

That said, the now leader turned around to address the rest of her clan, not bothering jumping back on the Floodstone, and glancing briefly at her brother, grateful that he had decided to stick by her side. She’d be lost without him… more so than she already felt. ”I need, uh-“ a deep breath, regain her composure, don’t let your fear of being seen by so many eyes show. She started over, ”I need a group of cats to see to Gingerstar’s burial. Please. Bring anyone who wants to say goodbye to him. If any of the kits want to go…” she hesitated… she wanted to let the kits who would miss Gingerstar pay their respects, to get closure by attending the burial… but that wasn’t safe. ”…if any kits want to go, let them have a few minutes here to pay their respects. It’s too dangerous in the territory to risk bringing them.”

Moving on, Larkwing scanned the crowd, looking for Ottersplash and… Sunnybunny, the cat who had spoken up about not planting poison at Cattail Pond. ”Sunnybunny, find Ottersplash please and meet me in the clearing? I want to hear your side of the story before making any decisions.” And now, for the last thing for her to address here… her trip to the Starcave. She didn’t want to go, but what choice did she have, really? Hand the position off to someone she trusted? There were few cats who she truly trusted would do well by RiverClan, but would handing the position off look like an admission of guilt to those who were calling her guilty, a murderer, and baying for her blood?

”I’ll travel to the Starcave soon,” she announced, ”I’ll do my utmost to do right by all of you, I swear it. This meeting is dismissed.” With that done and the meeting adjourned, Larkwing cast one last sorrowful glance at the corpse of Gingerstar and bunted her head into Falconfeather’s shoulder before setting off to a quieter part of the clearing, to wait for Sunnybunny and Ottersplash to share their side of things.

Shellwhisker gazed at Larkwing with a sparkle of newfound respect for the leader. She raised her head to the sky, letting out a yowl. ''Larkstar! Larkstar!'' The warrior purred as her Clanmates joined in on the chant.

Amberwing quietly stepped to Gingerstars corpse. Pushed her nose against it. She would miss him, little as she'd known.

Cloudheart left as the meeting was dismissed

**Sleek** · #**11695** October 26th, 2023, 05:00 PM

Ripplekit was sad that the excitement was over. No sooner than Bumblestar had left than Larkwing had left as well. Then she brightened up, because, why of course she could go bury Gingerstar! She pranced over and did a twirl.

Sleekfur suffered.

Meadowkit slept.

Floodfeather wasn't the brightest star in the sky, but he wasn't the dullest either. Larkypoo and her brother had totally set this up to make themselves look innocent. To rally the clan behind their backs so they could get away with killing the chillest leader their clan had had in a long time.

A slender tail twitched behind him, but he said nothing. Wasn't worth aggitating her majesty's loyal subjects. Not yet. All this pent up aggression from Beestar would probably turn right towards him if he opened his big mouth. Besides, who knew where Baykit scurried off to? I suppose I should start thinkin' about him now. Ugh... where did that booger go?
@vex (Bay mention yaaas)

•° Baykit °•
N/A
Baykit had been hanging around the fringes of the crowd, not entirety sure what was going on. He just wanted to hang out in the clearing and avoid the clutter and noise and colors of the nursery, and BOOM. Some cat was yelling. He knew it was Larkdeputy by the way waves of blue accompanied the voice. And then a whooole bunch of cats appeared out of basically NOWHERE. Nope nope nope, Baykit had scuttled away to the furthest corner in camp to escape the cacophony.

Things got more chaotic. He watched with wide eyes as some stinky cats walked into camp. They yapped for a bit. They left. There was so much noise. Baykit couldn't think or see or hear, even when he closed his eyes he could still see the colors and patterns and angry swirls attacking him. How did the grown up cats deal with this?? Did it get better as he got older? Was that why kits weren't allowed at big meetings? The poor trembling kit was plastered against the furthest wall from the Floodstone, covering his ears and squeezing his eyes shut.

Hawkmask | He/Him/They/Them/Flame/Flameself/Hawk/Hawkself
Riverclan warrior
Active purrks: none

Oh, Hawk's on a patrol to keep an eye on those thunder squirrels? Sure, why not? He won't deny that duty. The squirrels are a bit smelly though. He stood up, stretching a bit before looking for the others; where are they? Ah, there they are! He looked at his patrolmates. The warrior looked over at the Lionheart telling the patrol to follow them; his face kept neutrality, barely any other expression given out other than...well yea. Oh yea Gingerfrost's body was still there, he nearly forgot. Nearly, okay? "yea, we'll make sure you guys don't do any funny bussiness on your way back" he mewed, voice more relaxed than Nightspark's

Troutstone left the meeting.

Charredkit stared quietly at the entrance of the clearing, nervous for the return of Sootpelt Frostpaw and Larkwing. He hoped they were okay...
