A little curious face came up on the kit. they only knew what loners were from their mommy's stories, not two legs. They had never been outside of the camp before, the kit shook their head, having a little itch and rubbing their tiny little paws against their face, opening their tiny maw to speak. "W-well...im not an outsider! My m-mommy was one....before coming t-to the clans...." they said quietly, mimicking the whisper that firepaw had, not knowing how they should speak so they mimicked the person they were talking to, they let out a little smile, a teethy smile it was and always was.
They got out of the laying position and sat down, keeping their bear a good distance away from the apprentice infront of them, they couldnt risk loosing the bear. "I-i'm...kinda all alone....b-but! I like it....like that!" even though that was obviously a lie, and they didnt like to be alone, but it was something they couldnt control because no kits or queens wanted them. They thought the teddy bear was weird and that a kit shouldnt be reminded of the life their parent had in the loner world, they needed to worry about warrior stuff, how they will be when they grow up or just try to be the best person they could be but sometimes it's hard. you can hurt someone and they say that they forgive you the next day then they turn away from you. Life isn't easy in otterkit's point of view. Life is something they are gonna learn about along the way. They already know about living and dieing, and trama what else more is there to know about this life!

"Oh" Well, yeah, that also made sense. Firepaw sighed and scolded herself for being so assuming of the kits story. Everyone's journey was diferent! She guessed that the teddy bear was the thing that tripped her up about where the kit came from, but still, that was a bit reckless, she couldnt just throw around the sort of statements she had told the kit without being sure about the origin of the cat she was talking to. Oh well, what was done was done, she just had to move on and try to not make the mistake again. It was better to learn this lesson with a kit than with a warrior, anyway, so this could be considered a positive learning experience! This visit to the nursery was going to be productive after all!
Besides, what was the other thing they said? Right, their mother was an outsider, so she wasnt completely wrong. Not exactly the same as her, but close enough. Both stories led to them being alone, with only a memory of their previous family. And outsider blood was coursing through their veins, so they also had that in common.
"Sorry for assuming, I... I got confused, your teddy bear tripped me up." She continued, pointing to the plush toy with her head. She didnt touch it, as she noticed that the kit was very protective of it, which she honestly found very endearing. "Still, we are kinda in the same situation, I dont have a mum or siblings either!" Not anymore, anyway..." Firepaw smiled and sat a bit more confortably near the kit. The thing they said about being alone... Maybe she would believe it from another cat, she had found plenty of loners and rogues that didnt seek out more cats to live with becouse they preffered being alone, but coming from a kit who provably just lost their mother, having no one to take care of them... That obviously wasnt the truth "You dont have to be alone, you know?" She continued, her voice still soft. "The clans are like a big family, we all take care of eatchother" Firepaw sighed and let out a half-hearted chuckle."Im still trying to fit in into that family myself but... But hey! I'm making progress! The apprentice gently nudged the kit with her shoulder "And now you know me! I cant really take care of you, I dont know what a kit your age needs, but if you ever need help, just call me! Need to reach a tasty mouse on top of the prey pile you cant reach? Give me a yowl! Some kit is being mean to you? Just yell a "Firepaw!!" And I'l be there! ...Well, I'l try to be there, anyway, the life of an apprentice is really busy, and I might not even be in camp most of the time, but there are plenty of warriors and apprentices who'd be glad to help you out!" Firepaw made a brief pause before continuing."Oh, and yeah, my name is Firepaw, I forgot to introduce myself earlier... But yeah, that, you arent alone here, you have a whole clan to help you out... I know its not the same as having a family... But its better than nothing."
(Dont worry about the vent, I love random rambling in cats posts, so dont worry about it <3)
