HIGHGARDEN
birchflame: king, tom, he/him, 68m. tags: open
indentbirchflame watched through half-lidded, tired eyes as the rest of his patrol dispersed through the gathering until, at last, he was alone and left to find his own way towards the leader's area. the broad-shouldered king of highgarden sat tall, with his tail wrapped neatly over his paws, as he gazed across at the other leaders. though it wasn't his first gathering acting as highgarden's leader, there was no doubt in his mind that birchflame wouldn't miss the responsibility when tawnyrose left the clan's nursery.
merlinsong: herbalist, tom, he/him, 74m. tags: open
indentmerlinsong, as with each and every gathering, took his time to traverse through the wide and varied crowd, looking for interesting company with whom he would be able to share stories and experiences with, no matter if they were a warrior or a medicine cat. his ears were perked and eyes bright as he glanced at the unfamiliar faces.
garnetgleam: knight, tom, he/him, 60m. tags: open
indentgarnetgleam sat alone towards the edge of the gathering, grooming his eyes as he sat and observed from the outside of the crowd, acting as a curious - and, perhaps, nervous - onlooker to the cats from many different clans.
sparrowflutter: rose, molly, she/her, 22m. tags: hawkstorm - pinewatch
indentsparrowflutter had never been a particularly bashful cat. perhaps she was cautious in the sense that she wasn't outright impulsive, but she far preferred to trust her intuition that had already taken her so far over the moons. it was with this self-assured confidence that sparrowflutter could move easily through the crowd while she sought to find another cat to speak with. unfamiliar scents and voices filled the young molly's senses until, at last, her eyes rested on a new face, and she smiled politely at the stranger. "good evening, how are you tonight? it's a lovely night for the gathering, wouldn't you say?" sparrowflutter asked kindly, her tone warm and inviting. "i don't know about you, but i'm so glad for the chance to get out of my den and to be able to stretch my legs for a bit. after all of the snow and cold this past season, i'm ready to be free of camp without freezing my whiskers off, that's for sure."
primrosebriar: rose, molly, she/her, 17m. tags: juniperglow - chaosclan
indentprimrosebriar stepped delicately across the clearing, mindful of the many, many, unfamiliar faces that flanked her on each side. her first thought was that asterblink would love the chaos and energy throughout the gathering; primrosebriar imagined her older brother racing between warriors twice his size, sure to annoy birchflame when a disgruntled leader came to complain about their clan full of warriors with stepped-on tails. primrosebriar knew that her other brother, buttercupnose, would be fearful of the noise and the crowd, and her sister, maplefrost... well, there was a reason that primrosebriar had been asked to join the gathering patrol without her siblings. as such, she made the effort to keep her chin high an her poise as graceful as ever.
indentthe young rose only paused in her wandering when a welcoming smile caught her attention, and she dared to pad closer to another molly who appeared to be about the same age. "hi there," primrosebriar breathed, managing a smile of her own. "i'll have to admit - this is my first gathering and i'm feeling a bit lost and more than a bit overwhelmed. would you mind if i sat over here with you for a little while? my name's primrosebriar, and i'm from highgarden."
