[fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify]"It's nice ta meet some of you guys..."
Quiet, the leader would begin by pointing out that she hadn't met a lot of those gathered. Those she had met mostly being other leaders who had attended leader's gatherings, Spiderstar being the most notable memory wise. The oriental having given her a lot of information in regards to the Blackhearts, though not directly to her. Having helped the lass to make a decision in regards to the group, lowering her trust in whom had formerly been a close ally. Athena had also contributed to this in the same fashion, leaving the vulture thankful for what both leaders had contributed in these meetings. Still, the news of things the Blackheart Rogues had done would stick to her mind. Leaving Egretstar frustrated that she hadn't made a move in regards to all of this sooner.
"Is this about * ShadowClan?"
Rude. At least, that was how it seemed to Egretstar. "Mostly, yes." It seemed that most of those sending out invitations to the gathering had made that clear, though perhaps Egretstar had misunderstood. Fadingdaylight seemed as though she was going to be trouble, though the vulture would refrain from saying anything else to the woman for the time being. Hoping that the SkyClan leader would have something to say in response, meaning that Egretstar herself wouldn't have to.
Disconnected, almost, the leader would offer a brief nod in the direction of the leaders who were in attendance. Spiderstar and Beetlestar. A single working ocular would survey the rest of those in attendance, though she wouldn't nod to everyone. More for the sake of convenience than anything else, though it was common curtesy for her to nod in response to Spiderstar. "A lot, unfortunately..." Listening to Frostbite, Egretstar would choose to begin answering the woman's question. Frostbite had offered a starting point, it only made sense for her to work from this point. "They've raided us twice lately, unprovoked... We sent of a retaliation raid with several of their enemies with us, which involved ThunderClan actually." It seemed strange for the deputy to be unaware of this information, though perhaps it was a simple communication error. After all, the information would have had to travel through plenty of other members. "Since our raid, I've been told that they've declared free reign against ThunderClan, RiverClan and ourselves." Apparently, they'd missed out on the fact that Peter had also involved himself. Good, Egretstar didn't want her closest friend to also become a target.
"I know they're workin' with BloodClan, along with a few other anti-clans. I think they're tryin' to use the split between pro-clans an' anti-clans against us, which is why I've invited you lot here. Even if any of you are allies with them, I want to give you all fair warnin'..." More questions were bound to strike up regarding the situation, but her throat was particularly sore. Words becoming slightly quieter and pained, though the vulture would continue onward regardless. Hoping for a response of some kind for the pure fact that they could further drive the conversation.
