@DoveWingedFox, just so you know it is currently dusk/night in the rp and the cats who have been chosen to go to the gathering are now leaving c: Patrols have already been sent out for the day, but I'll go ahead and send one of my cats your way!
@Lapis, the OakClan cats have just arrived at the gathering place, but EagleClan is running a bit late. ^^
OakClan
Riverstripe hesitated a moment longer before padding into the den and stopping a tail-length away from Beestar and the tiny kits that lay at her belly. There were two of them, both seemingly strong and healthy--while their mother, on the other paw, looked quite exhausted. "They're beautiful," he murmured at last, his words laced with a mixture of wonder and sadness.
Sunflare still felt awkward--he hadn't done anything. What if he was this useless when Creamflower had kits, if she did? Maybe it would be better not to, he began to think. Seing the squirming bundles made his heart swell, and he felt himself being torn--he wanted a family of his own more than anything, but not at the cost of his mate's life. Beestar was only okay because she was leader.
"Typical," was all Tigerblaze said with a flick of his tail, shooting an annoyed glance at Bearpaw as she darted about like a mouse being chased. "You should learn to control your apprentice," he told Blizzardclaw, quietly so that only he could hear, "unless you want me to discipline her myself," before making his way over to his own apprentice. "It's a lot to take in, isn't it?" he asked Jackdawpaw. "This was RiverClan's old camp, back when the four clans still existed."
"Thanks." Splashpaw smiled at her mentor. "Yeah, I would say Stagpaw and I are friends. There was this other apprentice, but I don't remember his name. I've talked to Littleflower a few times too." Her gaze flickered between Elmshade and Lostnight. "What about you guys? You have any EagleClan friends?"
EagleClan
"Oh, okay. Bye!" Nightwish waved to Goldenrose with her tail before sighing. Now that everyone had left, she started to wish even more she had been chosen for the gathering, but she would have to make the best of it. Glancing around camp, she spotted Reedwhisker exiting the nursery and padded over to him. "Hey, Reedwhisker," she greeted the tom. "Your kits sound like they're having fun," she purred with amusement as she heard their small battle cries from within the nursery.
Darkpaw set out after the patrol, keeping pace with Goldenrose. "Been a while since you came to a gathering, huh?"
Littleflower couldn't help but smile a bit as the tom trotted along after her. After their hunting trip, he seemed to be in a better mood than earlier--she hoped it would stay that way. She had trained alongside him and Acornspots, and ever since the badger incident, the siblings had never quite been the same. She snapped out of her thoughts as they left camp, not wanting to look like a smiling mouse-brain. "So tell me--are there any she-cats in OakClan you like?" She winked at him.
Southstar nodded as everyone gathered. "Good. Let's head out." With a wave of his tail, he padded out of camp, flashing a smile at Streamspot as she sidled up to him, Stagleap right behind her. He pricked his ears slightly when he saw that Foxcloud had come up on his other side. "Well well, come to join the high ranks?" he asked the ginger she-cat jokingly.
