It stung his heart it did. No matter how much time had passed since he was pulled by the young tom. He was well aware that what he had asked of them was not easy, but he'd expected them to be a little more patient. However, he supposes that they did give it some thought considering they didn't leap at the chance to deny it. I should be happy for that, but still... I would have thought that maybe he would've asked instead.
Did he try? Try and stop them? No. He couldn't force them to change their mind, so he merely nodded and gave them the freedom they desired. Foxtail had done enough. Nevertheless, he would miss seeing them in their ranks. The last council meeting he couldn't help but look in longing for what was. I've been relying too much on Frostmoth these says. He's... He's been doing a wonderful job. I think its time I get myself in order. Yeah. No cool leader should be out of this long.
And so the silver tabby would take his place on the meeting perch. Some have decided to stop their routine and gather, while others continued on about their day. He would take no offence. It wasn't like he told them yet he'd like for them to hear him out. He is grateful for those who have automatically done so, a gentle smile sent their way. The tom clears his throat before bellowing,
A smile curls from his maw.
// This is frankly long overdue, but I wanted to give a proper send off for foxtail from our beloved vvin <3!

"Riverclan! Gather! I'd like to inform you all of... A change."
I only want to talk about Foxtail today, nothing else. Green eyes watch as the number of cats have increased, settling into place."Foxtail has decided to step away from the council."
Oof. Does that sound like I'm judging him? Uhhhh WE CAN SAVE THIS!!! "A-and I have honored his request! I am grateful for his time spent in the council, and I know he will continue to be a dedicated member of Riverclan. I am sure of it."
The idea of the other council members, specifically Russetfall giving him a raised brow for his fumble was not out of the question. In fact, he refused to look at any of his council members. I can't handle Adderfang lecturing me later...A smile curls from his maw.
"I am happy to see where Foxtail's journey will take him next, and I ask all of you to give him a nice pat on the back for his time spent in Riverclan's council. This is all for today. The meeting is dismissed. Just don't forget to give a nice pat on the back! To thank him for his time."
And with that the silver tom begins to descend from his perch, leaving Foxtail to his fate of back pats.// This is frankly long overdue, but I wanted to give a proper send off for foxtail from our beloved vvin <3!
