* Diego looked down at the kit and dipped his head. *
" I will not hurt your mother. "
* He made the assumption due to the she being so protective of the kit. Cardinal listened to Cricket and retreated back towards the small camp they had created. *

Cricket started to feel a little...self-conscious as she led the tom to the cave. The silence stretched between them. She didn't correct him on her being Cardinal's mother, at this point it felt like it was true. She glanced back to ensure he was still following. "It's this way a bit." She meowed curtly, turning sharply and leaping over a decaying fallen tree trunk. Pausing to wait for the tom, she took the lead again. "Got a name?" She asked, her tone still short. Was Cardinal making her soft? Why did she care what this tom's name was? Well, I can't mentally refer to him as stranger right? Sure she could! That was hare-brained!
