"Oh come on, you're making me feel old here." Hazecloud laughed as she settled in the crowd that had formed around her. Some short chit-chat had come up naturally as they had caught her between her tasks and as all conversations with her went, it had dipped into the intertwining machinations of the warriors den.

"I've known so many warriors since they were kits! And now you're all finding your little loves, how sweet." Though she wouldn't have expected some of the pairings that came about since her time in the nursery. Claythorn's even more.

"Speaking of... It's nice to see Cicadaflight finding someone he enjoys time with." A knowing gaze shifted to Willowroot, sure the molly would pick up on what she wasn't outright saying. But a few paces behind she spotted another, hanging outside their little circle. "Magpiepaw! Here, there's some room for you right here." Because who was she to deny curious minds? Nothing they were discussing was taboo after all.

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 Hazecloud’s new promotion to RiverClan’s deputy doesn’t really mean much to Crabkit—it just means that she’s gonna be leader next, if anything happens to Lichenstar. He knows the gray she-cat really well, since she spent so long in the nursery with him and his littermates, so even though some of the warriors don’t seem very happy, the little ginger-splashed tom is. So when he hears Hazecloud talking about something that sounds interesting. Love. Hazecloud and Lichenstar are in love, and so are Claythorn and Otterbite—it makes Crabkit wonder, who was his mama in love with so much that she had kits with them? His thoughts don’t linger long on the question, because Hazecloud mentions Cicadaflight, and Crabkit quickly pushes his way into the crowd with a loud gasp.

"Cicadaflight?!" He nearly shrieks, shock coloring his words. Who could the big black and white tom have become friends with? He’s really strong and cool, so Crabkit just has to know. Wide green eyes regard each of the surrounding cats one by one, seeking an answer to his hardly-asked question.

Robinheart reclines among the small crowd, her ears tilted forward and an easy smile gracing her charcoal features. This kind of gossip was quite common among the queens in the nursery - though perhaps it was because Hazecloud was spearheading it. It brings about a soft chuckle from the still healing tortie, her focus attempting to remain on lighthearted memories and not drift towards Brookstorm and their love story that had been cut all too short. It’s a story better kept for the future; when her kits are older and her heart has had more time to recover. For now she can be happy for warriors such as Claythorn and Otterbite. As well as Cicadaflight and… Driftwood?

Is Driftwood the one Hazecloud is alluding to? Or perhaps Sandpelt?

She’s been cooped up so long that her knowledge of the innermost relationships and friendships of RiverClan are not super clear. Perhaps this idle chit chat will afford her more than just entertainment? Her citrine eyes flit to Crabkit as the tom joins in, downright flabbergasted at the Cicadaflight revelation. Robinheart laughs. “Yes, Cicadaflight seems to be coming out of his shell - fitting he would do so in greenleaf!” She jests, her stay in the medicine den seemingly affording her a sense of humor not often revealed.

Throughout his life, Ferngill had found himself implicated in gossip a lot more often than he ever would have expected in youth. It was a good thing he was a lot better at keeping secrets than his father...

Still, such a habit came with being a social creature, he supposed! And spending as much time among the queens as he had done certainly meant you could overhear a lot. Now she was out of the nursery, though- and their deputy!- he had not allowed his friendship with Hazecloud to falter. It was that which brought him here, sat in the quiet buzz of conversation. Regarding Cicadaflight, no less... coming out of his shell. Crabkit's excitement lit a smile upon the bright ember of Ferngill's face.

Robinheart's joke had Ferngill's tail flicking, a soft puff of laughter leaving him. "I've always wondered what it is about these warmer months," he murmured to Robinheart, before a bright eye gazed down at his nephew. "It seems he's gotten quite popular with you too, Crabkit!"

MAYBE I'D BE A SAINT IF I WEREN'T ————————————​

It’s not that Snakeblink is scared of Hazecloud—it’s only that he half-believes that she wants him dead and that the only reason he still breathes is that there are a great deal of things she wants more, and so he is kept safe by his low position in her list of priorities. It’s not entirely genuine (surely she would not have been made deputy if that were the case) (and surely Lichenstar would not be his friend if her mate hated him that sincerely) but it’s enough for him to keep his distance, if only out of courtesy.

Gossip, though… Gossip is hard to resist.

He has been steadily creeping closer to their new deputy as the conversation went on, counting on the number of cats around to keep her attention off him. He smiles at the subject, and at Crabkit’s reaction—and has to bite his tongue before he speaks too loudly in response to Robinheart and Ferngill’s comments. He wants to stay and catch some more information before his next patrol.

Quietly, he murmurs idly to his neighbor: ”As pretty as his fathers, and as popular, it seems.” He has not had the occasion to interact with Cicadaflight more than in passing, but he keeps jumping when he sees the lanky cat in the corner of his eye—believing he saw a ghost. There is some magnetism to that, he supposes, if one is younger and less prone to heart attacks.

Sandpelt and Cicadaflight seemed to have some strange obsession with each other. Meanwhile, Cicadaflight's interactions with Driftwood were quite pleasant from what she saw. Word spread that the tomcat had brought a gift for Driftwood while they were out with Sandpelt on patrol. The umber tabby was going to ask Hazecloud what was in short supply so she could make a solo run, but she had got roped into the small circle of gossip. The conversation of Cicadaflight being on 'friendly' terms sparked different reactions from those gathering around and she feels a little uncomfortable for being in the gossip circle.

Whatever his love life was, as long as he was happy, then it was fine with her. Everyone deserves to have happiness in their love life, after all. ” He's a competent warrior. ” Gladefrost responded towards Ferngill as he motioned to Crabkit's admiration for the son of Cicadastar and Smokestar. She allows others to converse as her gaze flicks to her sibling for a moment before drifting off into the distance, silently planning for the rest of her day.

-ˋˏ ༻ ❆༺ ˎˊ- With Hazecloud and her kits finally moved out of the nursery, that made Pinekit and her brothers and cousins the leaders of the nursery for the next moon, until they’d be called to stand in front of Lichenstar, starry-eyed and eager. Pinekit quite enjoyed being at the top of the food chain, knowing she’d be kicked right back to the bottom the moment her snowy forepaw would step foot in the apprentices then. The fact did nothing to tame her excitement, knowing all her friends would also be under the woven roof. Pinekit had no place in the clans politics, Hazecloud would always be the senior queen in her eyes, gentle-tongued and firm. When the deputy mentioned love, Pinekit’s curiosity peaked, and she drew closer. The kitten knew of it, the concept of mates at least, her mothers lack of one had introduced her to the topic fairly early in life. Yet, what Hazecloud speaks of doesn’t sound like a coupling situation, but rather like the guy had finally found a friend. Or perhaps he only had a few friends until now.
Crabkit’s shout brings his mottled sister to the ginger tabbies side, giving him a critical glance- what was he screamin’ about?
“What’s that mean?” The girl hums, Robinhearts jolly sentiments making Pinekit scrunch her nose, what was the big deal?
Ferngill draws close and Pinekit’s honeyed hues light up with delight at her uncles arrival, but the confusion is quick to return when Snakeblink and Gladefrost also join in to sing the tom’s praises- the former calls him pretty.
Pinekit doesn’t see it, and she knew pretty. He was a good warrior, emotional… but she liked him well enough- yet, if the warrior making a friend was this big of a deal, perhaps she should rethink that. “What’s the big deal? ‘S just’a friend.” Finally, she voices her thoughts. As excited as she was to be apprenticed, Pinekit wonders if she’d grow to be as strange as these warriors tended to be.

જ➶ Gossiping isn't something that she does. It just doesn't feel like it's worth her time. But as she is passing by the group she stops for just a moment in order to peer over towatds the ones that are speaking. Picking up that they are talking about Cicadaflight and how popular he has become. Her eyes narrow just slightly and she can not refute that he has matured as of recently and she saw him before when he cleaned himself up. She had thought him pretty then. Her ears pull forward a little catching the name drops of Sandpelt and Driftwood. Seems like he has prospects already. Shrugging her shoulders a little she realize that this has no merit on her. She hasn't been very nice to Cicadastar and Smokestar's ilk and she doubts she will start now.

No need for her to anyway. They are just like any other Riverclanner and so she keeps it going. Heading to the apprentice den to lay down.
 
〕Had it been standing nearby listening? Maybe, just maybe they were but they werent going to admit it out loud. They had been interested in Hazecloud and what she had to say for the last few minutes. It was nice to listen and not have to talk out loud about anything like feelings or something silly. Still, the young apprentice was more than being obvious they felt like and it was only confirmed when Hazecloud offered them a spot on the ground, so it joins beside the others in question without much of an objection. Surprising for the others wise unsocial cat.

Still, it listens as Hazecloud speaks on Cicadaflight and Driftwood, or Sandpelt- whomever? It was something about them spending too much time together and sweet little loves. Suppose they didnt understand love a whole lot as they didnt get why spending time with someone made it so they were dating or more like Hazecloud was suggesting. Everyone around them speaks on the topic, Crabkit first with a proclamation like they were surprised, followed by Robinheart who says something about green leaf. Would this mean more kits by the time it came again or would there be more kits in the colder months?

Magpiepaw looked to Ferngill and Snakeblink as they join in with their own two words, and they gave a small nod in agreement with their words. They were quiet as they adults talked about greenleaf and what would come of this new friendship. This makes it think of Turtlepaw briefly- her stupid smile or something. They pushed down the thoughts in confusion and shook themselves mentally for a moment before then spotting Midnightpaw walking by. They open their mouth to say something to her, but she was gone as fast as she came.

The black and white cat flicked their ear slightly back before looking back to the warriors, before to Pinekit as the kit asks why its such a big deal "I think its cause Cicadaflight is antisocial?" They whisper to the kit in their understanding of what was going on around them. They had been on and off paying attention regardless, but they didnt understand the deal either. They spent time with Turtlepaw a lot- they were just friends. Close friends? Yeah.
