Coldgaze:
Coldgaze's fur was absolutely soaked through, and he hadn't the time to deal with it. While he did shake out some of the water once the gathering members were back in the shelter of the Twinwillows it wasn't nearly enough for a long-furred cat like him. He took a couple of tentative licks in an attempt to stop the water from pooling on the floor of the Rabbit warren, but he would have to sit down and spend a good portion of his night grooming if he wanted to warm up. At least it gave him something to do.
He could feel a slight headache in his temples at the idea of forming coherent thoughts at the moment - the gathering had been...a lot to say the least. The twolegs delaying their arrival, the kits at the gathering, the prophecy from the Medicine Cats, Thunderclan's strange behaviour. He could feel a knot of tension in his belly tighten thinking about it all.
Coldgaze got to his feet and stalked the length of the warren. Pacing was the only thing he could do. Boldstar had taken the kit from him to place it in the nursery with Otterwhisker- Coldgaze did not envy that task. He half expected for Boldstar to reappear sans 1 life; but when he did return he was followed by the Riverclan queen herself.
He didn't stop his pacing even as he watched Boldstar, waiting for... he wasn't sure what.

The events of the gathering and the clear omen of the arrival at the promised kits had a lot for Nettlepaw to think about. He arrived in camp with a dour look on his face, a whirl of thoughts coinciding with his expression, but he glanced up with a shake of his pelt right before entering camp proper. With a kit in toe it would only be a matter of time before Otterwhisker was involved, and watched as the queen made her appearance from the nursery entrance. Only time would tell if Starclan's gift would make up for the deaths that affected the clan - affected him.
What I dream, the day might send. Just around the riverbend.

The raindrops made for a pleasant lullaby for her kits as they were lulled to sleep, but Otterwhisker was a light sleeper and knew that the gathering attendees would arrive back soon. Her eyes went up at a familiar presence at the entrance, and tucking the special addition of her brood to sleep in a nest of comfortable moss and down she left them to tend to the bodies outside. She blinked a bit sleepily at the deputy, but her gaze was intense as she awaited the news.
