cats in attendance; "smaug", celebrían, "drogon", magpietrill, thunderboom, cirruswisp, muscovycall
"smaug" tom - 44 moons (lordship) - tags; silverdance (chaosclan)
╠ melanistic bengal lykoi with low white spotting. ╣
making his way through the crowd of cats before him, the dark tom made sure not to stick to the shadows like his brother likely was, as comfortable as they were for anyone of their kind. that was not the purpose of tonight's visit, and if his little brother couldn't do his job, he would ensure that their father heard about his failings. shaking his head to clear the thoughts lightly, he focused back in on the cats around him, his copper eyes looking for the perfect opportunity to approach someone; and just then he spotted it. another tom who appeared to be leading a group of cats into the gathering space, so obviously some sort of higher ranking cat like himself, had just broken off on his own. making a beeline for the cat, he made sure to weave in and out of crowd so that his approach was not necessarily spotted, before 'accidently' bumping right into the dark tom. "oh my, terribly sorry about that. are you alright? you'll have to forgive me, its my first gathering and i'm here in my leader's stead, so i'm a bit lost regarding everything." the dark tom offered a charming smile as he dipped his head. "my name is smaug, by the way. i'm a lordship, or i believe the equivalent in many clans is deputy, of the clan shenthais."
celebrían molly - 33 moons (noldor) - tags; open
╠ silver spotted tabby covered in white, savannah cat with frosted karpati. ╣
the tall molly was the second at the front of their clan's gathering group, walking just a pace or two behind one of the clan's lordships who was leading them this moon. she could tell that the tom was sort of in his own head, lost in thought, and so she kept her mouth shut as well, not wanting to stress him out about anything additionally. she paused alongside the dark tom as he spoke to the group, offering him a kind smile before she slipped into the crowd, making her way towards the rocky outcropping where she had been told the three higher ranking clan positions would go to. her nostrils flared as she appeared at the rocks base, closing her eyes as she took in the mixing scents of a plethora of herbs coming from other healing cats. a small smile found its way onto her face as she gracefully leapt up onto the lowest ledge, finding an open spot to sit down and watch the cats below, wondering if anyone would potentially approach her.
"drogon" tom - 32 moons (nandor) - tags; isopodstar (squidclan)
╠ krampus-themed chocolate classic tabby lykoi with fangs. ╣
the dark tom-cat felt may not have the manners that his older brother had, but he was able to read other cats extremely well; a skill passed on to him by his mother, who had taught him the importance of constant vigilance. he noticed the way the other tom's smile didn't reach his eyes, and had a feeling that somehow, like himself, this other cat didn't fully want to be here at this gathering, for some reason or other. he noticed the calm manner with which the oriental began to groom himself, and took the opportunity to look away briefly at their surroundings, allowing his claws to dig into the ground beneath him in a comforting move he had long since lost the battle of control over. "i can't say i've heard of squidclan, but this is also my first gathering. i'm new to shenthais, so i don't know about all of the clan things just yet." his words were both providing information while being careful about what he s hared, something that he learned to do, at least when he was in control of his emotions. "so far we're doing alright, from what i've seen. its my first leafbare with the clan. what of your squidclan, is the prey running well for you?"
cirruswisp molly - 25 moons (nandor) - tags; nawai (guild of cathulhu)
╠ solid black longhair with low white & pale green eyes. ╣
she couldn't help the way her pale eyes watched the new cat before her as he looked around before taking a seat by her; was this his first gathering? that would explain why he had originally appeared a bit nervous, although she noticed when he sat that he sat at such a precise angle to both be facing her but not facing her directly at the same time. the black and white molly couldn't help the small forlorn smile that came onto her face at that moment; it was exactly as her father had sat, showing his respect and attention to one cat, while also keeping himself open to the approaches of others who needed him. as the cat before her gave her a warm smile and did nothing to berate her mistakes, she couldn't help but feel slightly more comfortable, giving him a slightly warmer smile as well before she spoke again. "i don't believe i've ever heard of your clan, but its unique name makes me think its a bit like my clan is; unconventional." she chuckled lightly at her own words. "oh well, there's nothing too special about being a nandor. you see, when we are old enough to begin our trainings, it is decided if we have skills or traits better suited to become a nandor or a falmari. a falmari is essentially a hunter; they provide for the clan. a nandor is more of a fighter; we go on border patrols and in the case of an attack, we're the first line of defense for our clan."
thunderboom molly - 69 moons (nandor) - tags; smallflake (evergreen park)
╠ longhaired black LaPerm bicolor molly w/ curled ears & green eyes. ╣
the molly scanned the crowd before them with her green eyes, always making sure that an ear was turned towards her best friend as they moved through the cats, nodding on occasion when appropriate for whatever magpietrill had been discussing. the pair of mollies had stopped briefly as magpietrill rattled on about something or other, with thunderboom still scanning their surroundings, and she spotted a petite tom headed their way. she took note of him quickly, looking him over for any threatening behavior and saw none. in fact, he was actually quite polite in his approach as well as his greeting, so she offered him a smile of her own. "please do. we wish you a warm welcome on your first gathering, smallflake. my name is thunderboom, and this is my friend magpietrill. we both hold the rank of nandor within shenthais." she couldn't help but wonder if he had approached the pair of them because of their curly fur, as he himself also had the same type of coat as they did; while not a rare trait necessarily, it was certainly not as common as some others. she also couldn't help but take note to his shortened legs; a munchkin, she recognized, just like their clan leader was; she couldn't help but smile at that, wanting to mention it for some reason. "forgive me if my words offend, but you are a munchkin cat, are you not? i ask only because its a trait i recognize. our clan's leader, known as high king, valentinestar is actually a munchkin as well."
magpietrill molly - 67 moons (nandor) - tags; petshop (whispered away)
╠ longhaired black mackerel torbie LaPerm molly with green eyes. ╣
the colorful molly had been able to catch herself so that she didn't completely fall on her face, but she certainly had thrown herself off balance due to the force with which she had been walking, trying to rush away from her friend before getting called back by the other molly and ruining her chances of fun. looking up at the cat she had run into, she immediately felt herself drawn in by his unique eyes, which seemed to capture some part of her. "you have the most beautiful eyes." she complimented him with a brilliant smile. "i'd be lying if i said i was paying attention to my surroundings also. you see, my best friend and i normally stick together at gatherings, but this tom approached us and i could just tell she was intrigued by him, so i wanted to give them space to get to know each other. but i knew if i gave her a chance she would have made me stay; she's not very good with toms." the pretty laperm couldn't help but giggle a bit at the memory of her friend's shocked face at her quick departure. "oh i haven't introduced myself, i'm so sorry! i'm magpietrill of shenthais. whats your name?"
muscovycall tom - 57 moons (falmari) - tags; kiara (whispered away)
╠ shorthaired chocolate smoke with folded ears & brown eyes.╣
the soft tom watched as the friendly molly across from him took a seat, and decided that she was willing to stay and talk with him, so he took a seat as well, his tail subconsciously flicking in a slight nervous manner that he had never quite been able to control. "i'm from shenthais, born and raised. although we used to go by a different name many moons ago, but that changed when i was still quite young. what of yourself, which clan are you from?" he tilted his head curiously as his eyes sparkled; this molly reminded him of some of his clanmates with her bubbly energy, but instead of feeling overwhelmed by it like he often did with magpietrill for example, he found it pleasant with this molly. "oh, and you wouldn't have seen me. this is my first time attending a gathering; my mother is quite old so i spend a lot of time caring for her back home."
