Mintstar's confidence was shot over what had happened regarding letting Ramhorn of EchoClan join her Clan, she her legs were shaky as she stood atop the Highrock and felt shivers go down her spine as she was met with the expectant glances from the cats of all Clans. 'Think of how Shadowstar would carry herself at Gatherings, you can do this.' Mintstar told herself, trying to remember the nights the former PineClan leader spoke confidently when she made her announcements. With a deep breath, Mintstar spoke: "PineClan has been fairing well this leaf-bare, two of our queens have delivered healthy litters, and another will shortly follow. Her tail spiked up slightly as she remembered how five of those kits were born outside the warrior code; Wasptail and Ramhorn's kittens. She decided not to say how the former EchoClan medicine cat joined her Clan, it would cause too much trouble to say that a medicine cat broke the code. "Our apprentices are strong and learning quickly and the eldest, Ratpaw, will receive his warrior name once we return home." She meowed, hoping that was a good enough finish. Mintstar bowed and was about to leap off the Highrock until something else hit her. "A-ah! I almost forgot, I'm grateful to hear that our allies of JinxClan have returned to the forest. May StarClan continue to give you your blessings." She meowed, a little jittery as she jump off of Highrock and sat by its base, licking her chest fur nervously.

Even though the Clan cats were distracted by the leaders making their announcements, Rowanpelt was cautious in getting he and Velvetrabbit out of the prying eyes and ears of everyone surrounding them, so he motioned for her to follow him to a more sheltered part of the hollow where they would be undisturbed. "What's the matter?" He asked, darting glances at Jinxstar's general direction as he overheard the leader's voice. He hoped he would have more time to speak with Velvetrabbit, especially knowing that she had something to tell him.

Aspenheart's heart clenched to hear Rosefur chuckle and smile at him again as he knew he was the reason for her acting so bright. He remembered the day they had last spoken, the heavy rains had suited his friend's saddened mood as she told him how her Clan had to leave and how she might never see him again. It hurt his heart too, knowing there was a possibility that he would lose his first friend forever, which he reasoned was why he falsely proclaimed he loved her. The tom never had anyone to talk to in PineClan, he soiled his reputation back when he was an apprentice for his brusque behavior towards everyone, and no one would talk to him without feeling awkward about it.

Rosefur was the first cat to truly feel comfortable around him, and he relished in finally having a friend even though they were from different Clans. But it did hurt him to lie, and even now he struggled to think about how to confess about it. "I missed you too." Aspenheart meowed softly, this time it was truth as he really did miss his friend. "And is everything alright in TumbleClan?" He asked, curious about what happened in the moons she had been gone. It must not have been as bad as he thought it was, seeing as she acted the way she used to before her Clan left.

CATS ATTENDING: Jinxstar, Willowbolt, Velvetrabbit

Jinxstar smiled at Mintstar, nodding gratefully to thank her.

Willowbolt saw how Rowanpelt took Velvetrabbit to a more secluded spot, away from the rest of the gathering.

"I am having kits!" She said quietly, not wanting to waste time.

"Our Clan has been rather stable lately. Since our last meeting, Hazelwish has kitted Sedgekit, Hootkit, Eelkit and Hickorykit." Beetlestar meowed, tentatively. She had not been out on the Gathering for a few moons. "New warriors have joined our Clan as well- Rhubarbwhistle and Cloudydusk, and- a new apprentice, Avalanchepaw."

Momomoon | She-cat | Honeyfur

Momo visibly recoiled, tears stinging her eyes. She had only meant it in a teasing way and now Honeyfur was lurching around, hissing like the very act of being around the bobtail was painful. She took a step forwards and then several back. "I'm sorry? I didn't mean to upset you like this? Are you- are you alright?" The she-cat bit her lip, wanting to give the medicine cat a comforting nuzzle, though admittedly for more reasons than just comfort, but judging that such an action might just make Honeyfur lash out again and this time, at her. So instead Momo just stood there at an awkward impasse with the pretty she-cat that made it so hard to look away.

Barkknot | She-cat | Soulclan

"I-I-I-I don't, I d- I'm sorry?" Barkknot stared down at her paw as blood cut lines through the dusty surface of her paw pad. It hurt and hurt and hurt and had brought her no relief. But staring down at the wound had given her a moment of startling clarity. Sorrel-Sorrelstar always said, "No matter what you think or what you've done, don't take it out on you. Your mind is stronger than your body and your heart stronger than your mind but each control themselves and you control them all." I'm sorry mom. Oh how confusingly comforting it was to imagine her mother's words instead of the Thoughts, but she doubted it would last long and doubt would come creeping back in. "I just wanted to stop the Thoughts. I'm not powerful enough to overthink them but this-" she shuddered and began to lap up the blood, "This didn't help. I-I wanted the keep them from overtaking me again but-but-" Barkknot sighed and kept her eyes on the stone before her. "What am I doing? What is happening? I was doing fine but then you came with your disappointed eyes and too-good-to-be-true kindness and I- I just want my mom." The prisoner swiped at the dampness of her cheek, but her tears flowed too freely to be cleaned like that. For the first time, in a long time, she just let herself cry freely. And the tears she had been holding back for too long, began to wash her clean.

☙Ｓｏｕｌｃｌａｎ❧

The sun had risen to signify the next day yet Cinderblaze didn't feel as if she got any sleep at all. She had frantic nightmares, worries mainly, about Barkknot. Seeing her cry had broke her heart and yet knowing she was behind the murder of Aspenleaf truly scared her. Her dreams made herself so easy to kill by what she had thought to be the gentle paws of Barkknot, leaving her bleeding on the ground. Or even her kits, succumbing to their soft spoken aunt whom she trusted enough to watch them. But when she woke up from her night terrors and saw how peaceful everything is, her disbelief in the idea that Barkknot is a murderer returns once more. And she was going to prove that.
With Sorrelwhisper watching her kits, Cinderblaze padded from the nursery, watching as the guard shifts change and some of the early bird cats ate,she spotted Barkknot not far off, awake thankfully and getting her daily check from Hearthflame. The tom left, leaving the way open for Cinderblaze to approach and smile. "Barkknot. Hi. Are you feeling better this morning?" She asked softly as she approached, not trying to startle her by making her presence known as she approached.

Barkknot | She-cat | Soulclan

Much to her own surprise, Barkknot did feel better. In fact she was feeling better than she ever had in the whole time she was trapped in Soulclan. She had cried herself into a relatively peaceful sleep, her brain too tired to berate her for the previous day. But seeing Cinderblaze again filled her with a buzz of nervous energy. What if she attacked her? What if Cinderblaze really did hate her like everyone else and was just toying with her? And what about- Barkknot paused and shook her head, trying in vain not to think of it. "Okay," she mewed quietly, managing a wane smile mostly directed at the ground. Then, forcing herself to look up at the cat she may consider a friend, added, "I didn't think you'd come back? After last night? I-I am sorry about that. So sorry."

☙Ｓｏｕｌｃｌａｎ❧

Cinderblaze wanted to admit her hesitation, tell Barkknot that she was the center on her nightmares. But seeing her smile, as slight as it may be, made her swallow her normally blunt attitude and instead give her a gentle lick on her cheek and a smile. "Hey, you needed that last night. It was certainly a... shock but what good would it be for me to hate you? You're suffering enough as it is." She said softly, keeping her smile as bright as it was before. "How about we forget about it and just enjoy each other's company. You in?" She asked kindly.

☙ Hearthflame ❧
Hearthflame gave his fur a rough shake, snapping himself from his absent-minded thoughts of nothing and everything all at once. He felt so out of touch as if his soul was attempting to leave him and be off somewhere. Mistleleaf's words still echoed in his mind, making him feel both enlightened and confused all at once. He was just... out of it... The sound of a twig snapping made him fully aware of his surroundings, his body immediately stiffened and he gazed around, expecting a badger that he was so thoroughly warned about. Though when he looked down, he realized it was his twig that snapped. 'Heh.. I must look stupid...' He thought to himself with a sad laugh before looking up and finding himself at the PineClan border. His heart began to race as he thought he scented Weaselstorm but he was sure his imagination and pure longing. "Yea.. I definitely look stupid." He sighed.

Barkknot | She-cat | Soulclan

"Suffering enough?" Barkknot's mew was surprised and perhaps mildly appalled. "You-you're the only one who thinks that. You and Nettlefoot and Thistlethorn." Even the she-cat herself didn't think it. She regarded Cinderblaze a bit oddly, as if taken aback by the care of another cat. She had half a mind to think the queen was just leading her on. Oh she isn't. She's a nice she-cat, one who cares about her family. But just wait til you tell her. Just wait til you tell her about Asptail- then she won't be so nice anymore. Wincing as the knot of nerves tightened in her stomach, Barkknot gave another attempt at a grin. "S-sorry. I'm looking a for death berries in a gift mouse. I just- I'm not sure what cats do when they 'just enjoy each other's company'?" The she-cat gave a nervous chuckle. It had been so long since she chatted with another cat instead of cowering. Even before her imprisonment come to think of it...

☙Ｓｏｕｌｃｌａｎ❧

Cinderblaze tilted her head at Barkknot's surprised expression, not understanding why she seemed so shocked. They were friends since Starclan knows how many moons ago, though Cinderblaze didn't have as close of a connection as she had back then with the molly as she did now. It was still there. Though she wanted to grin at Barkknot and say something funny to make her smile, she couldn't find the words after the mention of Thistlethorn and Nettlefoot. The two that took her little brother's life and now held her kits by their strings of life. One cut from their claws could take them all. What kind of association did poor Barkknot have with those awful monsters...? A question for another time she supposed. "Do you really not know?" She asked with a light chuckle. "We just talk about anything and everything. Share tongues, go on hunting patrols together. Just be friends and enjoy each other's company." She concluded by lightly tapping Barkknot's nose playfully with her tail.
