Wilder watched an ant crawl by as Max spoke. He supposed he could understand the want -- or need -- to stick close to what you know. "Yeah, I think I get it. If I was being fed free food everyday for my whole life, I don't think I'd leave easy either." For a second, Wilder got a few flashing images of a warm figure when he was a kit, and the sense of another kitten against his flank as they slept. Yeah, he could understand.

"Speaking of, you still hungry? I've been looking around for food myself, but was just about to head into the woods on my own. If you were with me, maybe I could teach you not to starve." Wilder nodded again toward the treeline. He wondered if Max had ever ventured out there, where the 'wildcats' lay.
