The young cat was only about seven moons old. He had short fluffy dark gray fur with black stripes across his back. He had black paws and black on his ears and forehead and his green eyes were bright as he jumped for the roach that scurried about. A laugh escaping his throat every now and then as he chased the bug. Clearly, he didn't see Goldberry or Swirlheart.

"Hey! You!" Goldberry called in a hushed voice, not wanting to alert any other dangers. He called to the apprentice-aged tom. "You'll wake up a dog if you're too loud and reckless!"

The tom finally got the roach in his mouth when he heard Goldberry. He perked up and blinked in surprise seeing the two cats, he let the roach drop from his mouth and it scurried off. The tom standing up to pad up to them, "Oh I didn't see you there, sorry." he mewed brightly.

Swirlheart tilted her head a bit this tom was so young and she felt bad, would this be how her kits would play?

Goldberry remained bristled, but found his hostility fading as he saw the young tom give a smile. He stepped back a fraction, looking at Swirlheart with wide eyes before he mewed quietly. "You...do you live around here? Your parents...or any kin? Are...you alone?" He asked almost sadly. He thought of his father, who would have grown up alone like this if that was the case. How hard had it been here?...

The tom looked around. "Um...yeah I think I had a den around here at one time," he mewed calmly. "My parents are gone," he said with a shrug. "I don't need to see them again. My mother said my father was no good anyway. So yeah, I guess you could say I'm alone," he finished with a smile.

Goldberry looked surprised at that. The kit's mother and father had just...left him? He had heard of things like that, but never seen a cat so...okay sounding with it. He mewed more softly, looking sympathetic. "I'm sorry to hear that...I don't know your name. Erm...I'm Goldberry..."

The young tom shrugged. "I'm not. My name's Tumble," he greeted in reply.

"And I am Swirlheart we didn't mean to bother you or scare you," Swirlheart mewed looking at him.

"Oh you didn't," Tumble smiled at Swirlheart. "Chasing the roaches is just something I do for fun. I didn't to intrude on the two of you," he added with a chuckle.

"You are so young to be without any family," Swirlheart spoke looking at him sadly feeling bad.

Tumble shrugged. "I'm fine, really," he mewed with a flick of his ear.

Goldberry had to admire the young tom's bravery, and mewed lightly, remembering small conversations with Racoonmask and his other kits at this age. He mewed. "You caught that roach pretty well. I'm guessing you take care of yourself out here?" He mewed, impressed.

Swirlheart looked at her mate then back to Tumble she was still sad to see a kit this small all on there own.

"Well, yeah," Tumble chuckled. "I'm the best climber around! Prey doesn't see me coming from above them," he added with a smile.

"That sounds like some cats I know. They're great climbers and hunt prey in the trees and in the sky." Goldberry purred, thinking of Skyclan. He looked at Tumble. "I've never seen you before, young one..."

"That's sounds cool," Tumble chuckled. He then shrugged. "I travel a lot. Came from the city actually. Never been out this way before." He paused and glanced around. "I think."

Goldberry looked at Swirlheart, a sudden idea forming in his head. He assumed the kit was staying wherever he could, and while he was a little unsure, perhaps maybe they could share some of their twolegnest?...

Swirlheart looked at him before nodding slightly. She looked at Tumble with a soft expression.

"Well...would you like a safe place to stay? We can show you how to catch more than just a roach or a common mouse or bird." Goldberry offered.

Tumble tilted his head, not use to the kind offer. "Sure!" he mewed with a smile. "I could stick around a night."

Goldberry gave a nod. A night would work for now. If the kit wanted to stay, he was welcome. He reminded Goldberry of an apprentice, and it brought the tom comfort.

"What we are saying is...would you like to stay here. You wouldn't have to leave if you didn't want. You could be safe here and we could teach you how to care for yourself and you wouldn't have to be alone," Swirlheart mewed her voice motherly.

Tumble shrugged. "Oh, I dunno, I kinda like exploring new places, but I'll think about it!" he finished with a smile.

"We can explore too I bet. I know some places...er, not many, but some." Goldberry offered, feeling himself able to relax and hide his fears in the face of a younger cat. He certainly wanted to keep this kit safe too.
(Yeah, Grizzley's twolegnest was just an old abandoned house in the wooded parts of Twolegplace. Lots of stuff is hoarded there, so it's easy to scent XD. Feathers and coins and bones and stuff.)
