Roll says... 6: Aster.
"My name is Asterpaw," you say slowly.
"Paw?" Charlie tilts her head. Despite her impressively mauled face, her one green eye is so vibrant that you almost can't look away from it. "Funny."
"That's my real name." You're awake enough to feel defensive. "Your name's Charlie. That's not any weirder."
"Hm." She considers this, stretching in her small nest. "Fair enough. Alright, Asterpaw. Where are you from?"
You start to answer, but a twoleg stops by your nest, leaning in to look at you and Charlie. She doesn't react at all, but you instinctively hiss and draw back as far as you can into the brambles. The twoleg turns to Charlie instead, who purrs, before walking away.
"Not a house, obviously." Charlie waits for you to settle back into the white stuff. Her voice lowers, and she leans in again. "Keep your voice down, and don't look at me. They're used to me talking, but they'll get suspicious if they hear you."
You don't get a chance before she leans back again and continues the conversation. "Anyway, you were telling me about your home?"
You get the sudden feeling that all eyes are on you. Carefully, you turn your head away from her and answer.
I live in a Clan.
I'm from a place by the lake.
I live with a group.
I want to go back.
Does it matter?
