And I can't have that." She had a feeling he'd probably press her as to why, but ultimately decided to wait and see. If he didn't ask, she wasn't going to try and explain it. Because she didn't know if she really could in a way that was appropriate for a little kid to hear.

 

The large tabby tom instinctively put his paw out to catch the kit when she came crashing into view, letting out a sigh when she seemed to catch herself. "Yes, I did." He replied, tilting his head when he noticed the prey. "Did you...catch those yourself?" He asked, his whiskers twitching. "Impressive." He showed a grin, it was impressive. The kit did mention before she was on her own, but here was a display of the skills she'd been able to learn to survive.

"Come on." He meowed, turning and flicking his tail for her to follow. "Let's go back to the tunnel."

Freckle

Freckle grins at the praise, happily trailing behind him as he beckons her to follow. She's a little off-balance from the extra weight, but she manages. After a little while of walking, Freckle decides that she is bored of the silence, opening her mouth in an attempt to make conversation. However, she closes her maw again as she thinks of something better than a plain ol' conversation starter, a question.

"Hey, what shwould I call ya?" She asks, picking up her pace a little to catch up with Notch's long strides.

She offers Notch a little smile, her tail pointing to the sky as she scrambles to keep up with him.

Cricket thought about it a moment but shook her head. "In front of Notch and Freckle it's fine to call me whatever you want. But if we run into anycat else, call me Cricket. Okay?"

Notch glanced down at the young cat, twitching an ear thoughtfully. "My name is Notch." He answered. Originally, he had planned on letting Freckle carrying her catch all the way back. But seeing her stumble, he felt like she might need help. "Need some help?" He offered, nodding at the prey.

Freckle

Freckle shakes her head, her little paws quickening their pace to prove that she can handle it. However... perhaps she has a bit too much confidence in herself, because she trips and falls face first into the ground.
With a huff, she sits up, shaking the dust from her pelt. She's unharmed with the exception of her pride, but gives Notch a sheepish grin. Freckle sighs as she looks down at the prey, now lying on the ground, gathering them up in her jaws before heaving herself onto her feet.

"Don' worry I gowt dis," She meows determindly, proceeding to make her way ahead of Notch as if she never fell in the first place.

A raspy sound, like the creaking of bones that haven't been used in a long time, erupted from Cricket. She may not have returned the "I love you" out loud with words, but this was pretty much her way of reciprocating. She licked the top of his head between his ears, then pressed her forehead against his. "Please, for the love of all that is holy...eat your food more slowly!" She meowed in. a hushed voice, her tone serious though a playful smirk crossed her maw. "Seriously, I don't want to go through you choking on things or eating poisonous things anymore. I can't take it."

Notch tried to catch Freckle before she felt but was largely unsuccessful. He chuckled softly as she shook herself off. He nodded, his whiskers twitching in amusement. "A strong independent young cat like yourself? I know you do!" He meowed, purring with amusement. "By the way, Freckle, you said you've been on your own for a while now right?" He asked, glancing down at her as they walked. "Where's your family? Or...your group or whatever." He stumbled on his words, realizing that not every cat travels with family - case and point, Cardinal, Cricket, and himself.
