OakClan
Despite his dispute with Blizzardclaw just a moment ago, Tigerblaze didn't hesitate to make his way to the roots of the tree to sit beneath the OakClan deputy, next to Streamspot, when he was stopped by a voice behind him and turned to see Swiftbadger. "Evening, Swiftbadger," he meowed politely, if a bit suspiciously. He wondered what the gray tabby could want with him just as the gathering was beginning. 'Probably come to reprimand me for hurting poor Mistflower's feelings,' he guessed. "Can I help you?"
"Thanks!" Splashpaw tilted her head happily. "I hope I do. I'm sure you would be a good mentor, too. You seem nice, and that's really what apprentices need, is a nice mentor."
EagleClan
As Swiftbadger went off in Tigerblaze's direction, Littleflower made her way to Mistflower, who was lying with her head on her paws on the edge of the crowd. "Hey, Mistflower," she greeted her clanmate with a small smile. "You okay?"
Southstar hopped up to his respective spot after Blizzardclaw. He had thought offering to let the OakClan deputy go first, but sensed that the tom seemed a bit uncomfortable, and decided to go first so as to give the silver tabby a chance to collect his thoughts. "Welcome, cats of OakClan and EagleClan," he started off. "Prey is running well for EagleClan, and I can only hope the same is true for OakClan. With leaf-bare just around the corner, we have been lucky to be as healthy as we are. I pray that StarClan continues to watch over us both and bless us with enough prey and good health." He paused for a moment, then continued. "We have been scenting a kittypet lately at our border with Twolegplace. She was chased off without a problem today, and so far we haven't scented her anywhere else other than at that border. Still, be on the look out for any sign of trespassers." He had wondered if it was a good idea to mention the 'kittypet' at the gathering, as he didn't want to upset Streamspot--but still, if Honey was hanging around the territories, even if she was sticking mostly to EagleClan's, he wanted OakClan to be aware, if only to give her incentive to stay away in case she should ever cross their paths. He scanned the crowd of cats for a moment, searching for Stagleap, before he picked her out among the crowd. "Finally, tonight is a special night, for we have a new warrior. She has trained long and hard to earn her name, and her determination has paid off. Please welcome the newest warrior of EagleClan, Stagleap!"
"Why'd you have to go and ruin my fun?" Darkpaw asked Jackdawpaw, but his tone was more humorous than annoyed. He turned to look at Southstar when he heard his leader's voice ring out throughout the clearing, but less than a minute in he began to look awfully bored, as if he was only half listening, only perking up a bit to chant Stagleap's name for the second time that day to be polite.
