(They do grow fast!
I don't know how many are in the clan. 9?
Sure! Let him be suspicious and nosy - make her tell more)
Honeykit
The kit looks up at LeafCloud- her gaze pleading. "Alright, LeafCloud. " She hesitates a little bit, "can... can you help me?" Is asked at last, "I have a pokey. " It's tangled in her neck fur - wild as it is - from her trek through the forest after her Mama passed. The thorn, or rather burr, isn't comfortable- and though she wants to take care of herself she can't fix it herself. "Please?"

MossBlossom
She's embarrassed, "I don't walk fast." Is murmured, "my paw -" she's carefully sitting on her haunches and extends her sole front paw towards the warrior - it sluggishly bleeds through the moss and cobwebs she had piled on it. "I don't mind telling you about Them, AdderClan, but they aren't around anymore." A fact that she's very greatful for; BareStar hadn't been kind. "I'd like to meet whomever is hiding in the tall grass, before I move. Are you certain I won't be attacked? I don't even know your name!" She's feeling more comfortable by the minute, but being comfortable doesn't mean she's safe. Or that her kits are safe. She swallows, "I'm sorry. I'm talking too much about nothing important." BareStar hadnt liked that. Noone there had. "I'll do as you ask, sir."
Worry narrows her heterochromia eyes and she ducks her head, "AdderClan, " says the tripod, "didn't like non clan born cats. They let Fang and I into the clan because he saved an apprentice from a twoleg monster that wasnt on the path they always are on? and i..I... wasn't healthy, id.. id been a kittypet. And the twoleg wasnt kind. So, the clan pittied me. My new mate and I came from the twoleg camp, they weren't kind to me there, Fang saved me. He was my friend back then... He was a stray before we left. Anyhow,... we ended up joining the clan."
A timid smile graces her features as she is lost in the memory, " A few moons later we became mates, Fang was so happy, and then the medicine cat received a message from your StarClan." Her smile falls, "Do you all believe in StarClan? Something like 'a flaw is laid bare, fix it or the flaw will cause the forest to fall,' I'm not very good with long recitations. Sorry." She swallows that hard lump, casting a glance around to the warrior and then about the area to see if she was still safe. "The humans had taken my claws. I don't have any. I couldn't fight. I was nothing to AdderClan... to BareStar. "
Would they be angry with her?
"BareStar was ... displeased with that knowledge, called me weak although I could out hunt SparrowClaw, his deputy. " She exhales shakily, "Fang... he had a fight about it, and then I was allowed to not be an elder... if I stayed in the nursery. In camp." The Slight she-cat winces as she steps on a pebble, but doesn't complain - they're walking back to the camp. She can't mess this up! She needs a place to stay. To raise her kits in safely. "Soon, cats started disappearing. Prey ... cats went hungry, went thirsty. BareStar, he sent SparrowClaw and some others and Fang, out to find prey, find our clan mates. They didn't return. Another moon passed - and the medicine cat.. was so kind. They and their brother. I wonder what happened to them? I never found their bodies. I hope they are alright. They were the few decent cats there." Is mused sadly to herself, "BareStar led an attack on the monsters. On the twolegs and their dogs.. many died. So so many. Mothers - Queens- took their kits and left. But I found so many dead clanmates on my trip this way. My clanmates-" her voice breaks with grief, "I was left alone in the camp, even the elders were dead, BareStar let them die, i couldn't provide enough for them. I buried all the cats, my clanmates, I found. " She pauses to sniffle, her tears flowing freely, "the twoleg monsters came, they tore apart the camp. They ... I ran. I shouldn't have, BareStar said to stay in camp. But then I found him - " she hesitates, "he um.. he pushed me into a trap. Said that I wasn't fit to be in the clan if I couldn't follow orders, not like Him, SparrowClaw." She clears her throat, trying to stiffle her sorrows, "a silver cat came, he let me out of the trap. BareStar did me a favor, in putting me in the trap, you know, he kept me safe from the dogs. BareStar died. He didn't waken. " Would they despise her? "I did not bury BareStar. I lost my leg thanks to him. The silver cat said he was on a journey, he tended me until I was better, pointed me in this direction, and I went."
Was the silver one alright? She'd gotten his name, just once..
"When I wasn't so weak, that is, I left. So did the silver one." She licks at the fluff on her chest, "so I came this way, buried the dead. Survived. Hunted what I could, when I could. Then I ... I discovered I was going to have Fangs kits! He always wanted to have kits -" this time she is crying, openly, "I'm so glad I get to have kits with him, even though he's not here." She shakes her head, "I'm sorry! I don't mean to be weak and emotional. I'm sorry. "
