As everyone begins to settle, he can't help but turn his head to where Dustystar sat. The pair had always sat beside another, despite not being close. He couldn't help but wonder if it was due to him being less intimidating than the others, or maybe it really was as simple as he was second to last in line. Pikestar would never dare to sit in another leader's place. The last thing he wanted was to cause a scene over something as trivial as seating arrangements. However, at this gathering it seemed like he could not even catch a break. His ex mate, Goldenroar, was sitting in Dustystar's place. Great. This totally isn't awkward. Let's just be civil and hear why Dustystar hasn't shown. He has to say why.
Unfortunately, no leader steps forward to begin announcements. Loonstar remains silent, casting a glance of suspicion. Sablestar . . . Well he has no idea what goes on in that tom's mind, but the leader looks worse for wear. As for Hawkstar? She was clearly unhappy about something. Her presence is even more suffocating than usual. I guess I'll do it. He gives Goldenroar a small nod, the only indication that he will begin this gathering.
"RiverClan has been doing well these past few moons. Our warriors are strong and continue to grow in size. As for our apprentices, they too flourish not only in size, but under the guidance of my most passionate warriors." He does not mention that their clan worries about the lack of resources to sustain them. About the rules made by him with the aid of the council to combat this. If anything, he hopes this will deter the other clans from even daring to set a paw in their territory. For now, a genuine smile curls from his maw. "I'm also happy to announce that three warriors have been elected to join my council. These warriors are Smokewreath, Willowburn, and Pebbledream."
Pebbledream is here! The leader wants to yell for all to know, but he wills himself not to. Hawstar did not mention if any of her new council members were in attendance, so he shouldn't either. Anyhow, there is more to cover. "Our nursery is bustling and we are expecting a couple of litters on the way. RiverClan continues to be bountiful and lively." That was one way of putting it for sure. He wouldn't dare share that another one of his warriors attacked him. It was bad enough that the other leaders knew that his first life had been taken by him from one of his clanmates. It was best to let them believe all was going well.
As for any additional announcements he could make? Quickly going over what has happened in the clan, none of the news would be wise to share with the other clans. If he said one of their Life Guards collapsed from exhaustion? It would show weakness and while he was okay with the other clans seeing him in a certain light, he couldn't allow RiverClan's reputation to be tarnished any more than it was.
Unfortunately, the visible claw marks on his cheek said otherwise. Something had transpired in RiverClan, but it would be left unsaid. Everyone who was in attendance could not even begin to piece together a story, as no riverclanner at the gathering bore an injury. Now who would among his clan would share what occurred had yet to be seen.
"That is all from Riverclan."
