It was a very strange feeling, walking towards where Starclan’s Claws once stood with cats who were not the same as they once were and on land that was also not the same. The first gathering of the new clans. She was a little bit nervous, to be honest. The clans had come to grow relatively closer back when they were in the Tribe, and part of her hoped that the relationships built during that time would make gatherings friendly from that point forward. But she also worried that things would go right back to the way they were; cats arguing over borders and political drama between Leaders. While she never had much of a strong opinion back when, she knew that she didn’t need to worry as much when Silverstar was around, since he was always adamant about staying neutral and unaffiliated in all scenarios. But now was not the same.
Now she followed just behind someone else, someone she wasn’t entirely sure on. She hadn’t spoken much with Cloverstar, even since the clan came together seasons ago. So she didn’t know what the brown Bengal was truly like. And it worried her, at least a little bit.
Rustfeather was surprised when they arrived at the location and there was no one else there yet. But she knew that the other clans wouldn’t be far behind. She padded silently off to the side with Shadowchaser, scanning the trees around them for signs of movement. And before long, others came into view from the trees. Off to the left she spotted cats of Gorgeclan arriving with Whitehawk at the front; maybe he had become Leader? Soon Ebonyheart and Sageheart had followed, and a small smile crossed her maw. She scooted over a tad to make a space for Sageheart, who seemed…a tiny bit off. Though she wanted to check on her, more movement caught her eye. Owlstar padded into the scene with Galeclan on her heal, Kindleflare and Ravenpaw included. Upon seeing the two of them, Rust’s face lit up. She had always adored Kindleflare, as she was such a sweetheart and was full of so much wisdom.
But she was also very excited to see Ravenpaw, who was a new addition to the Medicine Cat world. The last time they saw each other was Leafbare, and at that time she was…well, struggling. So she didn’t really speak with him much. But, like Sageheart and herself, he was one of the younger Meddies. Or…at least he seemed to be? She couldn’t actually recall how old he was. He was on the smaller side, like she was, and had an adorable face, which suggested that he was younger. But she never thought about it before now.
“Raven! It’s good to see you again!” Rustfeather almost felt a little bit giddy seeing him. She recognized that the last time they were together she was very gloomy and hadn’t talked much, so the two of them never got the chance to fully engage. But she wasn’t gonna miss that opportunity this time.
