Shrikepaw’s question was rather blunt, but it didn’t bother Cottonpaw. He knew there was no malice behind it. In fact it was quite the obvious question to ask. Despite the fact that he was injured was now common knowledge it seemed why wasn’t all too clear. ”W.w.well I w.was o.out on a h.h.h.hunt, b.b.but I g.got i.i.it c.caught in o.one of t.t.t.the t.t.t.traps l.left b.by the t.twol.l.l.legs.’ He looked down at his wrapped leg feeling uncomfortable once more. He tried his best not to think about it, but it was an impossibility.

”T.t.they w.were g.g.going to s.s.s.s.s.s.snatch m.me and t.t.t.t.t.t.t.take m.m.me away, so I p.pulled my l.l.leg out. I.i.i.it h.h.hurt s.s.something a.a.awful. Y.y.you’ve g.g.gotta b.b.be r.real c.c.c.careful w.when y.y.you g.go out, the t.t.t.t.t.traps a.are h.hidden r.r.r.r.really w.w.well s.s.s.so I d.d.d.didn’t s.s.s.see it u.u.until I.I w.w.was in it. B.b.but t.they s.s.smell l.l.like m.m.metal d.does, l.l.l.like b.b.b.b.b.b.b.b.blo…blo..blood.” He paused pondering it over. ”A.a.a.a.a.a.a.actually t.that m.might h.have just b.b.been my l.l.leg.” He gave up a sheepish grin to Shrikepaw but it felt stuck in his throat.

Oh my gosh?! So it'd been one of those twoleg things, "coool.." She exclaimed, looking at the wrap. She'd yet to see any of the traps, it was crazy to think that they could do this much damage. "OH - er. Not cool, for you though. Not cool that you're hurt! Very not cool." She shook her head, quickly taking her eyes away from his leg. Twolegs must not be very nice, to do all that. Strong, yes. Or, well, maybe not strong? Maybe the opposite of strong, if they have to rely on scary trapping devices instead of their own claws and teeth. Just... Smart. Smart creatures that own strong things. They had no idea what strength really was, she decided.

"Very cool that you got out though." Cottonpaw didn't seem very fight-y. He acted a lot more like song-mama than twi-mama. But getting out of a twoleg trap - one so strong that it could do all that to his leg? That was actually, really really cool. "If I was stuck in a big snappy trap, I'd probably just writhe and wail and hope someone found me." She wouldn't want to escape if that would make it hurt more. She'd have to be super carefull out in the territory. Because she really didn't want that to happen. Especially will all her running. Oh no! She couldn't run about anymore... Agh. She'd have to run in camp, she guessed. That was the only way, unless she wante dot be taken away from her friends and family, and the whole clan - and - eesh. That sounded terrifying. "I'm glad you didn't get taken away."
