Gravesky remained dead silent as the other two leaders spoke. The disease wasn't much of a surprise; however, that did not make the reminder very welcomem for indeed, this very sickness is what had kept so many members of ShadowClan away from the meeting. Luckily for Gravesky, the other announcements were far more to his liking. Extra patrols, a request to accompany ThunderClan, these were the types of comments he'd hope for. With this Gravesky found himself sinking into a sense of calm, confident that what he would request would not fall on death ears.
At Hailstorm's nod, he made his way up the familiar outcropping, his gaze steady as ever, his figure static once at the top. Always one to make a strong impression, Gravesky's eyes swept thoroughly over the audience before him. "Clan cats," he began with a controlled excitement, "May I first present ShadowClan's new deputy, Nightrun." Motioning to his new protege, Gravesky gave the deputy a few moments to adjust to the stares of the other clans. As a leader, one had to learn they could be put on the spot at any moment; however, not wanting to cause Nightrun too much discomfort, the blue gazed leader quickly turned attention back to himself. "In this past moon, ShadowClan dealt with an intruder, a fox. That said, I feel other clans should be on guard in the case that other foxes appear." Gravesky realized that his past comment was a bit out of the ordinary, after all, predators came and went occasionally, but what else was there to talk of? Disease? Hardly a thing to discuss at a gathering. Indeed WindClan had, but that would be their own folly. Regardless, it would be favorable to alert the other clans of this danger.
Pausing hardly a heartbeat, the ShadowClan leader continued once more. "Wolfstrike, with this recent fox attack and the prevalence of the disease, it might be preferable to have a few additional ShadowClan warriors, and perhaps even a medicine cat, accompany your clan and WindClan on this venture." If indeed this was a noble trip to recover Moonstone, it wouldn't hurt to have someone of medical skill along. Alternatively, if this was all a hoax, at least ShadowClan was not the only one "taking the bait." There was always the miniscule chance that multiple clans were plotting together, but seeing as the other two leaders had seemed just as surprised as he was, so he largely disregarded the possibility. No need to be overly suspicious.
Surveying the crowd before himself once more, Gravesky gave a curt nod. "If none of the other leaders have anything else to say, then this meeting shall be adjourned." Dismounting from the rock, the leader resumed his position next to his deputy. "I look forward to discussing this meeting with you in private," he mewed softly, hardly distinguishable over the meows of various other cats discussing the recent turn of events.
