Orion hopped up, tail pointing straight up in surprise. "I can come too? Really?" Truth be told, the kit had been expecting a friendly meeting with Lightning, but hadn't expected to be invited to join.

Bandit tried not to look as surprised by the cat's confidence in his abilities as he really was, but he wasn't certain that he was successful. "T-thank you. I promise that I'll try my best to prove you right." He felt his chest puff out a bit with...not necessarily pride, but a boost in confidence. He ducked into a crouch similar to Storm's and turned to look at the older cat. "Is this right?"

(Is cool, Ive been sick lately anyhow so I've been a bit not here myself sdladbnsajl) Perhaps it wasn't a common trait among loners and the like to be so openly soft in mannerisms but it had yet to be something Storm would come to regret. Maybe it was his age granting him enough wisdom to see his own life was but a sliver in the ever continuing cycle, and if nothing else, he wanted to leave something to the youths that would last many moons after himself. Idealism? It was possible, and yet somehow more comforting that the mere thought of vanishing without leaving something behind for the future. "I know you will, you seem like a bright young cat." as he spoke, he didn't bother to mask the warm gleam in his eyes. Nevertheless, his gaze remained steady as he observed the cat's attempt to match his technique, his head tilting slightly for a moment. "Not bad, but not necessarily perfect." he explained, though his tone held no sign of harshness or displeasure, "You have to carry your weight as if you wish for not even the very ground to feel your presence." Mayhaps that was a bit oddly cryptic, but that may have yet been just another quirk of his.

The longer that Bandit spent time with Storm, the more he felt himself drawn to him. He'd met a few other loners since his liberation, but most were rather hostile. Even then, the few that were not couldn't exactly be called friendly either. It was nice to get to speak to a cat who wasn't just out for his own benefit, but was interested in companionship. He tried to shift his weight a bit more, imagining the ground as a creature with ears. It may be a bit juvenile, but he felt himself settling a bit more quietly.

Bandit found himself incredibly happy at the older cat's praise. He took a moment to try and memorize how his body felt in the position before straightening up. "I'll practice until I get it right!" He glanced around. They weren't too far from where the group had stopped to rest. He could see the tree some distance away, as it was one of the few out in this field. "Should we start to head back?"

Orion nearly tripped over his feet to keep up with Lightning. "Why not? I've been fine for a while now." Not that he wanted to keep traveling around by himself.

"No!" He said quickly, almost running into Lightning's back leg. "I can really come along?"

"No!" He said quickly, almost running into Lightning's back leg. "I can really come along?" "Yes of course. Would you like to ride again?" Lighting said. He pondered what his life would be like now not only hqcing joined this group but now also taking care of a kit.

Orion thought it over. "No I'll walk." He was used to keeping up with his dad, and didn't mind matching his pace. "How long is it until we meet your friends?"

Storm seemed satisfied by the younger cat's enthusiasm, nodding as if he believed in Bandit's statement. After all, he had few doubts that the former kittypet had the drive and the ability. However, he gave the following question a thoughtful consideration before answering. "I suppose it would be for the best if we weren't away too long, but keep a listen for any prey on the way.. In fact, take this with you." The stormy gray cat nudged the mouse towards the younger cat, "I think you've earned a meal and I might look around a bit more. See what I can bring back." His gaze shifted back over the meadow that stretched out before them, only a light flicker of worry passing through his amber eyes. As a wandering sort before the forest, he didn't fear traveling, nor did he fear being unable to support himself. However, he worried for the group, knowing it would be a hard travel for all of them, and food may not be as simple to acquire as the forest once made it. They'd need whatever they could get to offer them as much strength as possible to face this first hurdle.

The kit paused for a step. "Oh." Then he shook it off and caught up with Lightning. "Are you all rogues or kittypets?"

Bandit blinked in surprise. "T-Thank you. I'll go out with every hunting group, as well as try to catch anything I hear." He dipped his head gratefully before making quick work of the mouse. I wasn't enough to fill his stomach completely, but it was more than he'd eaten in a while. He followed Storm's gaze out to the meadow. "Do you think it's going to be a hard journey?"

"I don't know about everyone else but I lived on my own in the forest. My mother abandoned me when I got sick and thats hoe my eye got messed up." Lighting said. "We are here" he said after a little bit.

Orion's eyes widened at the story, and he looked down at his paws. "My mom was taken by twolegs and disappeared. It was just dad and me until..." He shook his head, not wanting to speak anymore. He looked up at the tom's words and stared up at the single tree sheltering a larger group of cats than he'd imagined. "Woah..."

"I'm sorry." Lightning said quietly at the kit's story.

(I might be a bit poofy if I can even stay on tonight.) "Okay. Stay quiet now so we can hunt." Lightning said happy to have found a way to stalk through the forest a little quieter. They were nearing the mouse nest so hopefully he could scoop one straight to his mouth to bite its neck. I don't know if I missed something or not. But I think this is the last reply I see that I made with rose)

Storm gave a meaningful nod, as if taking the younger cat's words to heart, offering his trust in a way. If they all were to put in that level of effort, they all just might have a chance in the end, wherever this journey led. "We'll see soon enough, but few travels are easy -- we'll have our challenges." he spoke with honesty, there was little point in sugar coating it. "And with so many conflicting personalities, this number of cats.. It could go either way." the large gray tom added thoughtfully, his mind having already combed through a number of possibilities. It was what could occur inside that worried him more than the outside forces, after all, If they couldn't meet the needs and demands of the group, many of them wouldn't make it -- and if they were unable to reach an agreement of group wide care, they're numbers would dwindled. With few numbers, outside danger would become a real threat. "Even so, I like to keep hope. If we can all rally for a common goal, we just might find the journey none too difficult." Turning from the wide meadows, he offered Bandit a soft smile, "All we can do is care for one another, learn from each other, and do out best to trust one another -- if our ancestors will it, we'll succeed." He had a strong faith if nothing else, one that perhaps acted as his driving force in this case. If things were meant to be, they would be, however things turned out. The thickly furred cat dipped forward in a long stretch, his shoulder's offering the lightest of pops, though the tom seemed to feel relief from it. "Anyway, You should head back for some rest, the journey will be long ahead and there will be plenty of time to practice your hunting. I'll see if I can find a few rabbits for our unlikely group." A chuckling sound followed his words, as if the cat found some level of affectionate humor for the group they hardly knew, but already felt somehow dedicated to preserving. With many that seemed unable to hunt due to age or well-being, he wanted to do what he could for them.
