Roll says... 3: Say nothing.
Embarrassed that you forgot, and worried that you'll get in trouble, you don't say anything, just shrink a little.
Larkstream glances your way, but he doesn't remark to you, just calmly continues, "We went onto the beach to see if we could gather clues about the incident with Rabbitpaw. Oakclaw, Nightfur and Thistlenose were with me. They can confirm."
It takes a second, but you finally catch sight of Thistlenose, sitting a little away from her Clanmates. She nods.
Kitestorm clearly doesn't believe them, but Crowcloud replies before he can. "Even if they didn't get permission, I don't think that they would come over for any reason other than that."
"Either way," says a rather handsome red-brown tom. "We should probably focus on the fights that have been happening recently, rather than something that happened half a moon ago."
"BrookClan started it," says the black apprentice, narrowing her eyes.
"We don't know that for certain-" starts the golden apprentice, but she stutters to a stop when the other molly glares at her. You're vaguely reminded of Knotpaw.
"And yet our cats insisted that yours instigated everything." Hailfang looks down at the apprentice, blinking slowly.
"Yeah, well, your cats are liars." She scowls.
"Enough, Ravenpaw." The leader flicks her tail. "We're not going to sit here and argue over who started it. We're here to decide how it can be resolved."
You slowly tune out of the conversation as the leaders and deputies chat back and forth. After a while, the opposite Clans slowly start to talk with each other, and eventually everyone is quietly discussing what can be done. You feel sort of awkward and left out - the one that looks like you clearly wants nothing to do with anyone but her Clanmates, but the golden apprentice at least nods in your direction.
To your surprise, Thistlenose is just as out of the conversations happening as you are. She ambles over and sits down next to you, and together you watch the cats chat. You can see Crowcloud working her magic on a slightly wary leopard-patterned light brown tom and getting him to chat with Kitestorm (from the looks of it, the two are hitting it off just fine). A pair of patched mollies are talking with Hailfang and Snailpelt (or...flirting, it's hard to tell), and all four of the cats in charge are thoroughly discussing patrol ideas and possible other meetings.
It's so quiet where you are, though, that you're startled when Thistlenose speaks, in the same murmur as before. "They're so worried about more cats drowning, you know."
You look up at her. Her wide face and big eyes make her look a bit like an owl. It's sort of making you nervous.
"You want to know what happened, don't you?" she continues, gazing right back at you. "They say it happened on our territory. You can tell something's up, right?"
I do want to know.
I'm not allowed on your territory.
Are you suggesting something?
Say nothing.
