ROOKSTAR | TOM | ROI (LEADER) | TAGGED: CYPRESSSTAR (KEYCLAN)
Rookstar couldn’t help but laugh at the way Cypressstar acted. He seemed so carefree and settled, as if nothing ever bothered him. “Our nursery is positively overflowing with kits right now. Not the best circumstances, considering that it’s leafbare, but all our queens seem healthy and happy to have their families. I’ve watched so many of our younger mothers grow up,” he sighed, thinking of Pipistrellecave and Whimbreleyes. Both had been born into the Clan, and Rookstar had watched both become respectable members of the Clan.
CHASMSTAR | MOLLY | DAME (LEADER) | TAGGED: PLOVERSTAR (CLOUDCLAN)
Chasmstar murmured softly, nodding to show she understood. “We all do, Ploverstar. That’s a part of being a leader, suffering through pain that will only make you stronger for your Clan. Whatever StarClan throws at you, I know you can handle it,” she purred, her voice silky and smooth in a way she knew used to comfort her pions when they were hurt from a game or scared from a nightmare. Being a mother had given her so many valuable experiences that she called on them in any instance she could, if only to feel the way she once had when she had five innocent lives needing her for absolutely everything.
RICHTERSCREECH | TOM | TOUR (DEPUTY) | TAGGED: HARESPRING (VENUSCLAN)
“They fought majorly. The way the former Tour acted was highly unprofessional, so it makes sense that he was demoted. And of course he loves his apprenti; they’re two young cats that have gravitated towards them and he’s adopted them. It’s honestly quite sweet,” he chuckled, remembering how clingy Pluvierpetal had been as a pion when he’d loudly declared Freuxfreckle to be his father. Then Bergeronettepaw escaped from her own nest and snuck out of camp to proclaim Freuxfreckle as her dad. They were a mismatched family, but they worked.
WOLFWHISKERS | TOM | FOU (MEDICINE CAT) | TAGGED: PUMPKINSEED (BEARCLAN)
Wolfwhiskers chuckled, knowing several cats who fit that description in his Clan. “Scare them into being more careful,” he joked, and then perked up. “You said your training wasn’t quite finished. How are your herb stores?” he asked, worried about of Bumbleflight had taught Pumpkinseed how to store and ration herbs during the cold months in which they didn’t grow. It was a hard task he needed to teach Faonpaw soon.
FAONPAW | MOLLY | FOU APPRENTI (MEDICINE CAT APPRENTI) | TAGGED: BRAMBLINGPAW (SEACLAN)
Faonpaw stifled a chuckle and nodded enthusiastically. It was a problem that had occurred on multiple occasions, and she relayed this information to Bramblingpaw with a large smile. “My family would love to see this too. They’re so used to quiet and shy Faonpaw, but it’s because my brother is so much larger than me and so much more energetic. He has enough personality for the both of us,” she chuckled, eyes glimmering in the starlight as she remembered Lionceauroar. “So far, leafbare hasn’t proved to be a challenge,” Faonpaw sighed, remembering horror stories of previous leafbares filled with injuries and sickness.
OURSPAW | TOM | APPRENTI (APPRENTICE) | TAGGED: CHERRYPAW (YANGCLAN)
Ourspaw grinned happily at mention of his sister. “She isn’t here, but I can bring her to another Gathering to introduce you two! There’s always a bunch of apprenti in ChessClan, so I could never imagine training alone,” he chuckled, knowing how many times he’d sparred with apprenti older and stronger than he was. He relied on their snores to put him to sleep each night, and the absence of that scared him.
OISEAUPAW | TOM | APPRENTI (APPRENTICE) | TAGGED: QUAKESTONE (HIGHGARDEN)
“That definitely makes sense. When living in a Clan, all the kits are raised side-by-side and so it creates these everlasting bonds that tie cats together outside of their own families. Whatever cat came up with the way to create that kind of raising must have been a secret mastermind,” he chuckled, knowing how fiercely protective Sopranocavern was of several pions that weren’t her own.
NUITPELT | TOM | CAVALIER (WARRIOR) | TAGGED: QUAKESCREECH (TWISTEDCLAN), ARUMWHISPER AND QUICKFLOW (SEACLAN)
Nuitpelt chuckled at Quickflow’s words. “I feel you, Quickflow. The sea sounds beautiful, and it’s a place I hope to one day encounter. Living in that little valley protects us, forcing predators and enemies to go through treacherous territory to reach us, but it also traps us and makes it hard to get out. The sea just sounds so... free,” he sighed, his voice trailing off and his eyes unfocusing as he daydreamed.
PEUWOBBLE | NON-BINARY | CAVALIER (WARRIOR) | TAGGED: SIGHTBLAZE, PHIROZASHATTER (CELESTIAL BEINGS)
Peuwobble sucked in a sharp breath and gasped. How could a father do that to his own son? Their eyes were wide as they stared at Sightblaze. “That’s... awful,” they whispered, barely able to speak. They’d never witnessed such evil in the world, and so they were positively stunned by how horrible a single cat could be. “I can’t believe he would do that. It’s not okay,” they whispered.
