The young kit heard speech again. Their tiny head turned up to face whoever was talking. Spirit was greeted with the palest, almost glowing blue eyes cats could have. They trailed him casually. The kitten was too young to understand the threat strangers posed. Besides, dying was something that had already been ingrained in her mind.
It wasn't the first time she'd been called a name. That didn't stop her from sneezing indignantly. She was already abandoned, no need to rub salt into the, wound. Though young, the kit was sharp enough to understand why everyone left her. She was small, weak and got sick very easily.
"Didn't want me. Big brown cat over in the Pointy trees didn't want me either." she replied matter-of-factly. She was, despite everything, still young and easily distracted, and thus began focusing on the stranger's long, pretty tail.
Her eyes focused back onto the speaker's face. What were they asking her? If she wanted to live or die? She wobbled up to a standing position, having regained some strength. Honestly, this was taking longer than she expected. She'd been told she'd almost died several times, but it was always like falling asleep. Sometimes it hurt, sometimes it didn't.
"Dunno. Why's it taking so long? Did I already die or am I just gonna live? Are you dead? It doesn't hurt as much right now. Does that mean I'm getting better?" she asked semi-excitedly, stepping slowly towards the other cat.
