    Cougarthroat was no fool, she knew that in life it wasn't what you know but who you know. And currently, she didn't quite know anyone within her own clan. Having only recently joined she concluded that it was in her best political interest to immerse herself within the community. A rogue no longer. It was around that time to share tongues, the powerfully limbed chausie making her way towards the center of camp where many NPC's were already gossiping away. She began adjusting her coppery hued bodice into a comfortable position near the fresh-kill pile, as if awaited her prey tentatively. In this case however, she wanted to see who was worthy of her company.

    ivynose was always one to approach someone else, wanting to be on friendly terms with as many cats in windclan as possible. maybe he wasn't close with a ton of them, but that didn't bother him as much as the possibility that another windclanner disliked or even hated him without his knowing. people could act, couldn't they? just because they were civil and polite towards ivy didn't necessarily mean that they liked him in any way at all, and that thought made ivynose nervous- though he tried pushing the nagging idea away whenever it crept up on him.


    seeing cougarthroat sitting near the fresh-kill pile, not having anyone with her, ivynose decided that, seeing as he'd finished his duties for the day and didn't know where morningfrost and cowspots were right now, he'd go approach her and see if they could start up some sort of conversation. he smiled at her as he took steps towards her, tail waving with a greeting. "hi, cougarthroat," he said warmly, "are you settling in well?" he then asked. she was decently new, that was an okay question to ask, right? it would be awkward if she'd forgotten his name, he'd hope she hadn't.

    TAGS ☆彡the blue tabby honestly didn't like to partake in the whole sharing tongues ritual. if it wasn't cowspots, ivynose, or even his children, he honestly wasn't interested. most of the time, he'd stay off to the side, half asleep, and half observing through lidded, evergreen oculars. he knew it'd help to be more social in that regard, but he was just awkward, and he knew it. spotting his mate, the tom-cat would saunter over, coming to stand beside the other. he'd offer a small smile to ivynose, before placing his eyes upon cougarthroat. hello, he'd echo politely, leaving his greeting at that.

    RUNNINGKIT


    ➳ - Runningkit's tail flicked in frustration. He hated being stuck in camp. He knew that was where kits were supposed to stay, but he was certainly apprentice age. He just had a kit name. But he still had to stay in camp instead of helping out. He couldn't wait for his ceremony so that he could finally do things. Sighing, he turned from the entrance, hopping that no one had noticed him staring at it. He need to find something to do. Even if it was the more gross apprentice duties that they did in camp. Turning, he noticed Cougarthroat and Ivynose talking. He knew Ivynose, but Cougarthroat... he had really only just seen around camp. Maybe that's what he'd do, actually get to know her a bit. Padding over to them, he meowed, "Hey guys. How you all doing?" Great start, Runningkit. That was sure to make this conversation entertaining. He should've picked something different to say, but just didn't know what to say to his clanmates anymore. He'd just been gone too long.

    Blossomkit watched the warriors gather, her tail swishing enviously. That would be her any day now. She'd finally get to become an apprentice. Then she would get to hunt and train with warriors. Then sharing tongues with warriors would only feel more natural for her. But...when? Every meeting she kept getting her hopes up, listening for a name that wouldn't be called. And with Jasperstar gone, and Eaglestar vanishing soon after, there was nobody to make her an apprentice. And if she couldn't be an apprentice, she couldn't leave the camp to go look for them. And if she couldn't help, who knows if they'd even be found and...ugh! The stress was making her fur bristle. But maybe sharing tongues with the other cats would help, just knowing that others felt the same way. "Hi." She meowed plainly, padding to the group.

    The massive handsome tom was the next to arrive at the gathering for the sharing of tongues. His vibrant blue eyes danced briefly upon every frame, a small smile tugging at his normally cold features. It felt strange to approach them all while holding the title of leader. It would certainly take some time to get use to despite his apparent talent for it. "Hello everyone." Eaglestar greeted lightly and sat near his new deputy. He wasn't one for gossiping but there was nothing like strengthening the bond within their clan.
