WATCH THE WAY I NAVIGATE ☆ o, MEETING 11/22

[RHINESTONE.]

RHINESTONESTAR ❝ RHINE ❞ LEADER
"TALKING" || "TELEPATHY"

Dovah's question was a fair one, and Rhinestone had little intention of ignoring it. Despite his own anger and contempt that he held towards Starclan, that didn't mean he was about to force others to give up their worship. That would make him a dictator, and the mere thought of that left a sour taste in his mouth. Palmclan – no, The Palm Glades, – would never be a dictatorship. They were driven by their members, and if he ever forgot that, then it would surely lead to his downfall. It was because of this that he nodded in Dovah's direction, wincing afterwards when he realized the other wouldn't be able to see it. He spoke plainly, his dark black and faintly red gaze scanning over the crowd, "Good question, Dovah. Of course others will be allowed to continue following Starclan if they wish to do so. I would never outlaw the worship of them. However, Starclan will no longer be the clanwide religion, and will not be forced on those that joined. Nor will any clanwide religion that rises in the future, if one does. That just wouldn't be fair to all of you." His eyes briefly lingered on some of the members of the group that he knew had been rather devout followers of Starclan. He wasn't about to make them lose their worship and turn against him – although even a few of them looked unsure now.

It was after this that Rhine was about to return to his own den, and get some rest, but he was caught off guard by the sudden approach of Vaas. The male's dark eyes temporarily widened, wondering if the tiger was about to attack him because he didn't believe that he was actually Rhinestone. However, the leader was even more surprised when he felt Vaas's limbs wrapping around him, and pulling him close. The serval felt a rush of heat come up to his face, suddenly grateful for the thick blue fur that hid his face from full view. After a mere moment of hesitation, the tom chuckled, leaning into Vaas's hold and pressing into the larger male's fur. He could feel his heart soaring with affection, undeniably glad that the other was so happy to see him back. Part of him just wanted to spill the strange twisted up feelings he felt inside immediately, but he refrained from doing so. He'd probably just end up screwing it up if he did it now, in his exhausted state with his mind running rapidly. Instead he just looked up at Vaas, a crooked grin settling on his muzzle as dark black and red eyes gleamed, "Vaas. It's so good to see you again. And I'm glad that you agree... your opinion means a lot to me." Those last words were a bit more quiet than the rest, a secret whisper meant only for the two of them.
