Quietstar nodded slowly in agreement, of course any kits of theirs would be.. She purred lightly at the thought of warriors that resembled herself and Eaglefrost. Pulling herself out of the day dream she huffed at him "Well.. I didn't name myself my mother did. You'll have to take that up with Brighteyes." she said a fond tone in her voice as she spoke of her mother. She purred lightly as he resumed talk about kits and dedication before she brightened slightly glancing back out at the cats who'd returned to camp. Slowly she rose to her paws 'I think i'll do it now. They've waited long enough." she said. The hunting patrol was back and many of the cats were still in camp. She slipped out of the leaders den glancing back at him to flash him a small smile "Let's go." she said before she turned back to face their clan and gracefully leapt up on the rock. She sat down, curling her tail around her paws. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather below for a clan meeting!" she called out.

Swiftleap's gaze softened for a moment "Thank you.. I appreciate it." he said gently nudging her. A small smile still on his face as he tore his yellow gaze away. "Let's hurry this patrol up so we can get back to camp. And find something else a bit more interesting to do today." he said as he continued forward. He glanced at her and chuckled "You know something that doesn't involve patrolling a border and making sure our scent marks are still up."

Hawktalon nodded again "Yes you've just got to be careful." he said. He flicked his tail "Though honestly you have to be careful with all beasts.. You're fighting to protect your clan. But you also don't want to lose your life. As a warrior we swear to protect and defend our clan. Even at the cost of our life. But that doesn't mean you need to die needlessly." he said narrowing his eyes slightly. A look of concern flashed briefly across his face "Much of what you'll be doing is also defending yourself. Making sure you're agile enough to move out of the way of any attacks. There will be a lot of cats so you never know who it'll try to swing at next. So you've got to be prepared." he said.

Reedgaze looked around camp trying to spot the two she-cats. "Yeah I guess you're right." she said. "I mean.. I thought about Eaglefrost.. He is Quietstar's mate but I guess you can't make someone your deputy just because they're your mate. I guess she'd like to have support from her mate and a deputy separately. It would get tiring to have to do everything on their own." she said. She then nodded slowly "Your choices make more sense though." she said. "At the very least one of them could have a shot at a senior rank?" she offered.

Pinesting shook his head "Oh I wouldn't say that." he said. "But I would say that for you." he murmured softly. He nuzzled her before he began to groom her fur hoping to make her feel at least a little bit better.. "Let's.. just focus on these three.. Think of how great their lives are going to be.. Maybe one of them will even be a warrior!" he said as he continued to groom her fur.

She yawned and steched walking to the rock quietstar stood.

Robinflight sat like a statue as he listened to Maplestrike's conditions. A wave of relief flooded over him. Maybe she isn't so scary after all? The tom looked at his mate, giving her a warm smile. "Of course I would be willing to do those things." His soft tail intertwined with his mates. "Although, I can't completely promise I won't be protective of you. I do care about you." Leaning forward, he nuzzled the side of her face. Before another word could proceed out of his mouth, Robinflight heard the call for a meeting. What a mood killer. His dusty red ears flicked. "I guess we should go see what this is about." Slowly, the tom arose to his paws and padded towards the group of other cats. Finding a spot near the back, he sat down, wrapping his tail neatly around his paws. His gaze shifted towards Maplestrike to see where she would go.

Brindleleaf was finally satisfied with her grooming session. The idea of taking a quick nap had crept into her mind. However, before she could begin walking into the warrior's den, Quietstar had begun to speak. The she-cat rumbled a little under her breath, What timing. Sighing, she turned back towards the center of camp. Her eyes scanned for a place to sit. Not many cats had gathered yet, so the calico she-cat took the opportunity to sit closer to the front. Brindleleaf studied her leader's expressions, attempting to predict whether the meeting would hold some good or bad news.

☞BEARPAW spotted Wolfheart making her way towards him from across the camp. Thoroughly embarrassed by his behavior, the older apprentice couldn't bring himself to meet her gaze. He could feel the skin beneath his pelt beginning to burn in shame. Green eyes closed, the thick-pelted, ashen tom relied on his sense of smell and touch to recognize when his mentor had reached his side. Relief watched over him as she simply hunkered down beside him, letting their pelts brush comfortingly. After what seemed like moons, the stoic tom allowed his pale eyes to open, blinking as they adjusted to the sudden light. Bearpaw turned his large head to look at Wolfheart, finally meeting her gaze. "Thank you." he mumbled softly, forcing a smile for her. "I'm sorry for acting this way. I know it isn't becoming of a warrior. The scent just caught me off guard is all. I'm already over it, I promise." Bearpaw glanced up at his leader's call to gather and he quickly rose to his feet, assuming his expected cold exterior. Glancing one last time at Wolfheart, the sturdy apprentice padded towards the center of camp, settling on a spot a bit further back.

☞EAGLEFROST could see the familiar gleam in Quietstar's eye that meant she was drifting off into the realm of kits. The muscled tom left her there for a bit, content to simply watch her enjoy her daydreams of what was to come in their future. Catching her little huff, the flame-pelted warrior leaned forward to press his cool nose to her cheek. "I'll make sure that's the first thing I ask her when I see her again." he agreed, letting his claws extend as he stretched his from legs. Eaglefrost had also noted the growing number of cats in camp, his muscles bunching in anticipation for the move out into the clearing. The tom made a mental note to himself to drag his nest into Quietstar's den before the day was done so he could finally get the full night's rest he deserved. As his leader spoke, the broad tom quickly got to his paws, nodding along with her decision. "The sooner you get it over with, the sooner you can dump everything on my unsuspecting sister and relax." he teased lightly, following the beautiful gray she-cat out of the cool shadows of her den. As soon as he emerged into the light, Eaglefrost donned his trademark scowl, shoulders hunched as he stalked towards the front of the rock, sitting as close as he could. The warrior found himself beside Brindleleaf and he gave the older she-cat a respectful nod in greeting before taking a seat beside her.

☞WRENTALON glanced up from her quick grooming session in the sunlight at Quietstar's call. The pretty calico she-cat rose to her paws in one fluid motion before padding lightly towards her leader. Tail waving slightly in the gentle breeze, the fluffy hunter noticed her littermate keeping close to his mate while her younger sibling looked sullen and alone. Opting to keep the obviously distressed tom quiet company, the she-cat took a seat farther away from the rock. Wrentalon looked her brother over, greeting him wordlessly with a supportive nudge and a gentle lick to the ear even though she knew it embarrassed him. "Are you excited? This could be you some day." she purred softly to him, offering him an encouraging smile. The hunter made a mental note to talk to Wolfheart about what was bothering Bearpaw because she knew she'd never be able to drag it out of him. Much like Eaglefrost, he was far too proud and tough. Wrentalon turned her gaze towards her fearless leader, thick tail wrapped daintily across her paws as she waited expectantly.

Elmwind snapped awake as the meeting was called. He staggered over, his joints aching and sat near the back edge of the crowd, swishing his tail across the ground.

Tigerpool-she-cat-warrior

She tilted her head thoughtfully, running through a list of activities. “We could go swimming.” She suggested. It was hot and sticky out and she enjoyed the way water seeped through her dense fur. She blinked at him longingly.

Sorrelpaw-she-cat-apprentice

She looked at the gathering, spotting Bearpaw instantly. Excitement sparked within her and longing snuffed her brain. She swiftly walked over to sit next to him. “Hello, Bearpaw.” She purred, somewhat whispering “I haven’t seen you in a while.”

She stayed silent as she watched her clanmates gather beneath the rock. Her gentle blue eyes watching their movements with slight interest. "Thank you all for gathering." she said softing. She nodded to them "I promised to tell you your new deputy. I've made my decision and with StarClan looking down on us.. I believe they will agree with my choice." she said before she lifted her head up. "Wrentalon! Will be the new deputy of WillowClan!" she declared. Instantly her eyes swept over the clearing taking in the responses of all her cats before they rested on Wrentalon.

He purred slightly in response and nodded "Sounds like a plan to me." he said as he turned leading them back towards camp. "We should also finally grab something to eat i'm starving." he said before he pricked his ears, pausing near the camp entrance. "Oh meeting time." he said nudging her before he slipped into camp and took his place at the back of the gathered cats glancing over at Tigerpool and flicking his tail at the spot beside him.

☞BEARPAW leaned into his sister's comforting, soft pelt for a moment, using her as a support for the briefest of moments before he gathered himself and sat tall. The sooty gray tom faced his leader, head raised proudly, eyes an unblinking and piercing green. Perhaps his sister would secure the position after all and he would have something to satiate his darkened mood. Just as Quietstar began to speak, the soon-to-be-warrior heard his name and felt a small rush of air slide through his thick coat as another cat sat beside him. Not breaking his eyes away from the important gathering, he flicked his tail in acknowledgment. "Sorrelpaw." he greeted curtly, an air of indifference about him. At her next words he simply shrugged. "I've been busy training for my ceremony." Bearpaw turned his attention back to the meeting, tuning the she-cat out as Quietstar began her announcement. Excitement prickled down his spine, the hair along his shoulders raising ever so slightly. And there it was. Wrentalon. The young tom stood up, leaning to his right to give his older sibling a congratulatory nudge on the cheek. "Congratulations. You deserve this." he murmured in her ear before she could be overwhelmed by the displeasure and excitement of the rest of the clan.

☞EAGLEFROST flicked his ears as his mate began talking, his eyes dragging over the faces of the cats gathered behind him. The strong tom spotted his sister, hiding his grin as he turned back around to show his leader the respect she deserved. As soon as his sister's name slipped past the pretty gray she-cat's lips, the broad warrior stood, ready to greet his sister. Pride swelled in his chest as he considered how far his family had come. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Wrentalon was the perfect fit for deputy of the clan, no matter which cats disagreed with that. Eaglefrost padded towards his mate and sister, holding back a bit to allow them at least a moment to discuss her new instatement. In turn, he allowed himself to relax and search through the faces in the crowd, his sharp gaze landing on Bearpaw. The tom gave a flick of his tail tip and a curt nod in acknowledgment.

☞WRENTALON peeked around her built brother, looking on with interest at the young she-cat beside him. As the tom practically ignored Sorrelpaw, the hunter had to stifle a snort. Bearpaw was a lost hope, obviously not picking up on cues. Chuckling softly to herself, the pretty calico turned her attention towards Quietstar as her leader began the necessary proclamation of a new deputy. The pretty she-cat looked on with polite interest, her green eye wandering around the cats gathered, wondering which of them would be appointed. Only half listening, she caught her name followed by the words deputy and Willowclan. Wrentalon's eyes widened, her gaze snapping forward to stare Quietstar in the eye. The shocked hunter barely acknowledged her brother as she got to her paws. This must be some mistake. She was just a hunter. How was this possible. As if in a dream, she seemed to float towards the front of the rock, trying her best to keep her jaw from dropping. Wrentalon reached her leader, dipping her head deeply as a sign of respect. "I-I. How...? Me?" the she-cat squeaked out, terrified this was some cruel joke. Clearing her throat she tried again. "I am deeply honored by this, Quietstar. I promise I will not let you or the clan down. I will prove to you that you've made the right choice."

☞LIONFANG inhaled a sharp, shaky breath. This was as good a time as any to reappear as all of the cats were gathered in the camp. With Quietstar at the head clearly giving important news, perhaps he was less likely to have his pelt ripped to shreds. The pale ginger tom swallowed hard against against the fear rising in his throat, making it hard for him to breathe. Dropping gracefully to the ground from his perch amongst the leaves of the tree, the large ex-clan cat padded towards the camp entrance as soundlessly as he could, his paws floating along the fresh earth of newleaf. Lionfang forced his tail and head to remain high despite the obvious concern flickering in the same pale green eyes he shared with all of his siblings. Forcing one paw in front of the other, he found himself at the entrance to the tunnel, the fur along his shoulders and spine rippling nervously. Just as he began to force his way forward, he caught the sound of celebration.

Maplestrike glanced jealously at Wrentalon, attempting to control her ambiguous thoughts. That should have been my position. She kneaded the ground furiously, before realizing that her assigned mate was looking at her, anxiously trying to determine where she would go. "Sorry!" She whispered as she came to sit near him, their shoulder fur gently brushing. I suppose I have a different destiny now. Her thoughts were put at ease when Wrentalon spoke, completely noble and explicitly honored by Quietstar's decision. The calico glanced at her mate, warmth flooding through her gaze. I don't need to be deputy; I can have a family, and maybe one day, I could fall in love with him.

➣ Wolfheart nodded to Bearpaw still keeping silent, she understood her apprentice's pain since she went through the same thing losing her mother, father and her own brother. She wanted to always be there for Bearpaw when he was feeling down and do her best to lift his spirits. Once Quietstar called for a clan meeting she waited until Bearpaw got up and joined the rest of the clan meeting his gaze whenever he glanced back at her. Heaving up to her paws the grey tabby made her way closer to the camp entrance but still within range of the rest of her clan listening to Quietstar's words. In her mind she wanted to be close to the entrance to see Pearpelt come through the tunnel since she didn't see him in the rest of the crowd. When her leader announced Wrentalon being the new deputy of Willowclan she was very proud of the hunter becoming deputy and she knew a lot of the cats including herself would be surprised that a hunter had become deputy but she knew that Quietstar had made the right decision.

Robinflight gave a respectful cheer at the announcement of the new deputy. He watched as the she-cat accepted her new position. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see a hint of envy on Maplestrike's face. Without saying a word, the tom leaned over and rested his chin on top of her head. His eyes blinked slowly, feeling a different emotion towards Maplestrike than he had this morning. As his gaze shifted upward, he noticed something moving near the camp entrance. The scent was unfamiliar and very unpleasant. Robinflight's fur rose. "Who is that?" He hissed quietly, tail lashing violently behind him.

Brindleleaf grinned at the tom that sat beside her. She didn't enjoy being treated like an elder. Though she may be near the age of the senior warriors, she still felt like a kit inside. The she-cat wanted to keep that fire burning for as long as she could. Her long whiskers twitched at the sound of her leader's voice. She returned her attention towards the meeting. "Well, would you look at that." A smile grew on her muzzle. It was always exciting to see the expressions of newly appointed cats, whether they be deputy, warrior, or even apprentice. They always had the brightest faces. The calico she-cat purred, watching Wrentalon accept her new position.
