When the leaders finally called to start, silence reigned for a moment, then Darkstar began to speak.
Pumafang almost snorted out loud, holding it back with great effort. He had no interest in what she had to say about her clan of thieves, offenders, and cripples. They lost his respect long ago.
Pumafang's mind roamed to assessing the obvious situation at hand instead as the gathering proceeded. The leaders and deputies around him knew there was little to be obtained from the small talk up front. It was the crowd who had the vulnerable information, yet they were secluded from the ordinary, placed at the foot of the pedestals their leaders sat upon as they spoke. What a waste of time. Pumafang let out a weak sigh, almost inaudible, though Rainfur's ear twitched in acknowledgement. Whether she thought lesser of him for it or not, Pumafang didn't care, though the fake speeches every gathering entailed made Pumafang's interest dry up like dew within minutes of hot sun.
He stifled his irritation, sitting still as stone as silvery moonlight washed over the clearing.
Perhaps it was his inclination to comfort Timberfrost, or his selfishness to take Timberfrost for his own comfort, that made him edgy and particularly short and unsociable the past few days. Perhaps it was the calamity of the valley? RainClan had been evacuated and their home destroyed. LightningClan had new leadership along with the Open Woods. NightClan set up a temporary camp, and resorted to stealing in the meantime, leaving TreeClan with a difficult choice. A decision that made the entire valley hold its breath.
It sent chills down Pumafang's spine, everything.
The tom clenched his jaw. His body was tense and still. His eyes were cold and hard. TreeClan's deputy was running low on patience. For the number of times this season he had been in the wrong place, separated from the tragedies that shook TreeClan to their roots, he couldn't help but feel he was needed somewhere else.
