The gathering... It started off so well only to end in total disaster. He heard that Juniperstar had lost a life to Hawkstar in order to defend her deputy. The exact reason for why this needed to transpire wasn't clear to him. All he had was the information passed down to him from others, which was unreliable. Unfortunately, he was unable to check on the Thunderclan leader due to recovering from losing a life as well. It shouldn't be something he found amusing. However, his mind still chuffed at the thought of the first two leaders at the gathering losing their lives.
His silver paws led him to fourtrees. Despite the fact that this place now held horrid memories for him, he couldn't stay away. Instinctively green eyes wander in the general direction of where he once laid surrounded by others. Bile rises to his throat when the image of Adderfang clawing at him relentlessly suddenly worms itself into the forefront of his mind. It's been days since the former life guard has been exiled, but Pikestar couldn't forget. The aches still lingered and at night? Oh, it was dreadful. Adderfang haunted him in his dreams. It was only a question of how fast the dream would take a dark turn. The worst was when nothing bad happened at all. It left him waking up with more questions than answers. His frame began to tremble. Green eyes dart from tree to tree until they finally land on someone.
Sablestar. The leader is a bit of a distance away, but he seems more interested in the scenery to pay any mind to Pikestar trying to settle his nerves. Its almost laughable how the Shadowclan leader's presence soothes him, knowing that the moment Sablestar truly focused on him would be unsettling. It is a bad idea. To give in to his curiosity and speak to the other leader. However, they never shared a conversation before. Even at the gathering, Pikestar only watched from afar. He doesn't even know if the Shadowclan leader knows his name. Without a doubt the black and white tom would recognize him. Considering Pikestar spoke with Juniperstar after the Shadowclan leader greeted her. I want to know him better. I can learn from him. He's cunning. He was able to see how divide Riverclan is in a few moments.
The silence he is met with nearly suffocates him, so much so that he sheepishly tacks on,

"Sablestar?"
As soon as he's gained the attention of the other leader, he bows in respect. It is unwise to converse as if they were friends."I'm surprised to see Shadowclan's leader here after what happened at the gathering."
Did he figure out who I am? I only look a little different, but he should recognize me. I shouldn't bring up Juniperstar unless he talks about her first. "Excuse me for being bold in saying this, but why are you here? Are you thinking about having to bring Shadowclan here every other full moon?"
In this moment he is regretting giving in speaking to the Sablestar. It's beyond difficult to even form a sentence. He doesn't want to raise any eyebrows from the other, but he also doesn't want to get the shadowclanner pissed. The last thing he wants is to be mauled again.The silence he is met with nearly suffocates him, so much so that he sheepishly tacks on,
"U-uhm! You don't have to answer that! S-sorry. I'm not from your clan, so I really shouldn't expect an answer."
That should be good right? I didn't say anything too bad. I think. I HOPE. "I'm here to... Try and get over the bad things that happened. I hope the next time all of us, or whoever comes for the next gathering, I won't let the bad things get to me."
He shifts his attention to the moon above them. "After all, this is such a nice place. I'd like to have happier memories here."
