Resisting the urge to smirk at her success at gaining pity, Firestream instead put on a grateful smile. She wasn't sure how comfortable she felt about finding refuge in a twoleg den where she was most likely unwelcomed but she didn't care much especially after making such a fuss about it. Oh, and she noticed the unsheathed claws though it was the least of her worries; she was a trained warrior and this was a kittypet, sure she wasn't the best at fighting but she was more experienced than this cat most likely.
"Oh thank you ever so much! You're so kind!" the pretty she-cat purred so sweetly it almost made her sick. She hated acting so foolishly affectionate but she had to keep it up for as long as she could if she hoped to survive this place...but she wasn't sure how long she could keep the rouse up before she showed her true colours.
Flicking her ear at the question of her name, the dark ginger and cream tabby held back a scoff at learning what the kittypet was called by. Coconut? What kind of a name was that? Firestream had no idea what a coconut was but she decided it was stupid anyway.
Silently making fun of Coconut as she answered, Fire let her artificial personality relax for a moment. "You can call me Firestream. Now where's this den of yours?" she asked, growing slightly impatient. All this talking was tiring her, and Firestream wasn't the sort of cat to put up with others for long.
Coconut

"What? I actually like the rain. That's normal!"

She pulled back her lips into a flashy little smile. "Just a few paces for here, they're not far and very affectionate." She purred despite herself. She was spoiled absolutely rotten in her nest, those twolegs sure did love her. If she kept the visitor and the downlow, perhaps they'd come to love... Firestream? Huh, odd name... As well.
"They gave me a whole area to myself, I'm sure you'll be quite cozy there."
She leaped gracefully up onto the tracks, her bell chiming in protest as she did. "C'mon, follow me, Fire. What a funny name... Pretty, but rather odd. Are all forest cats named like that?" She was genuinely curious. She'd honestly never thought of it before, she just assumed they had normal names like "Violet" or "Checkers", but apparently not.
Coconut finally noticed her unsheathed claws and was quick to hide them once more. Hopefully Firestream hadn't seen them, but it might've been impossible to miss as she noticed how the light caught onto them like stars. She smiled apologetically at the ginger cat. "Sorry! I'm just a bit hungry, that's all."

"they threw me out...to fend for myself...and so I did."
Crystal was laying down, his tail swishing back and forth as he watched ember play with some leaves that he found. crystal felt like he was bad at this, the caring for a kit he never helped make. he remembered the blood from the she-cat protecting her kit from a loose dog...and now he knew that the housefolk place was not safe, not for ember and not him. his ears flatted as he thought of moving. it was a hard thing...with so many cats already claimed places to live.
Ember
"I'll show you! i'll run like a windy ember and burn the forest with blazes!"
Ember played with a leaf crystal found, her paws batting at it as she imagined it as a rat. her paws swatted and slashed at the leaf, she tripped and rolled but got back up to pounce again. her eyes narrowed as she wiggled her hips and pounced, she fell again and kept at it. earning a small chuckle from crystal. keep at it!
