Morningstar tagged with Honeystar
"Prey's always a little low during leafbare but we usually have more than enough to go around. And of course, it's almost newleaf so prey will be in abundance." Morningstar replied. "What about Forestclan?"
Stepping up to do his announcement, his gaze swept over the assembled clans coolly. "Caveclan has been blessed by Starclan this past moon. Prey runs well and eight kits have been born to us. Chiveclaw and Lilystem are the proud parents of Laurelkit, Toadkit, Alderkit, and Splashkit. And Larkfeather is now the mother of Maplekit, Wildkit, Pepperkit, and Robinkit." The tom glanced over at Honeystar a moment before speaking, "Caveclan extends a long overdue offer of alliance to Forestclan. I'm confident that this alliance will make us stronger against certain enemies." At this, his gaze flicked to Emberstar, his gaze darkening slightly. "Unfortunately, we do have a little bit of bad news. A recent quarrel with Leafclan has led me to the decision to declare Leafclan an enemy of Caveclan." Coldly eyeing Emberstar, his gaze swept over the assembled clans. "You ask why we do such a thing? Last gathering, one of Leafstar's warriors bumped into a Caveclan apprentice. This warrior accused the apprentice of being rude and when two of my warriors came to help, Frigidrose attacked Ebonywing. This isn't something Caveclan takes lightly. Especially at a gathering." The tom said. "That is all." Stepping back, he allowed the other leaders to speak.
Woolyfur tagged with Birchnose
Woolyfur nodded quietly. "Hopefully. Morningstar hopes to avoid a battle though." With a small sigh, he looked over the clans, trying to pick out his clanmates. If something happened tonight, he wanted to be ready.
Cloudpool tagged with Willowcloud
Cloudpool listened quietly to her speak, frowning slightly. "That's weird. Perhaps you should speak to her?" The gray and white tom opened his jaws to reply to her comment about hoping to avoid a battle when Morningstar finished his announcements. The tom's wide green eyes stared at his leader, distressed. Morningstar had mentioned something about not letting anyone hurt one of his clanmates and get away with it on the way to the gathering, but Cloudpool hadn't expected this.
Silvernose + Shimmerpelt tagged with Cherryclaw
"Newborn. Lilystem's were born early this morning." Shimmerpelt replied. "And Larkfeather kitted just before the gathering." Silvernose added. "They'll be up and racing around camp before we know it. Poor Rippleshade's probably going to get so irritated." The old tom loved kits but eight kits would overwhelm anyone.
Mottledshade + Pigeonflight are with Leafstrike
Mottledshade and Pigeonflight strolled through the crowd, tails twined as the searched for a place to sit. Kits always made the pair feel happy but today's news had been especially wonderful. Lilystem and Larkfeather's large litters left the pair thinking wistfully of the days when Poppypaw and Stormpaw were kits. Of course the pair were very proud of their apprentices but Mottledshade was the type of cat who adored kits. She was never happier than when she was looking after kits. And of course, Pigeonflight adored being a father.
The pair eventually found a comfortable spot to rest and lay down, Mottledshade tucking her paws comfortably beneath her.
"Oh hello," She greeted, blinking curiously at the tom. Pigeonflight was quiet, allowing his mate to speak for both of them.
Tigerjaw + Willowtail + Mistfall tagged with Dustleaf
"Yeah. Shadedleaf said something about Lilystem and Larkfeather needing as much rest as possible before they have to go chasing after kits all day." Mistfall said. Willowtail wrinkled her nose. "That sounds stressful." The black molly had never liked the idea of being a queen. Stuck in the nursery for six months, trying to raise kits. Not her idea for a good time.
