One is the loneliest number

"Amberkit?" Rainstripe asked in confusion, wondering if he was the same kit she had talked to earlier. He smelled and sounded the same, so she would assume that he was, in fact, Amberkit. "Uh, hello?" she added. The she-cat was surprised that both of the cats here were ones she knew. After all, she didn't know very many cats.

Rockpelt stepped in for a closer look. It seemed that there was a kit lying on the ground while a white cat close by hopped around. A third cat was bending over the kit with a confused expression. He found himself confused too, in spite of his earlier laughing. "What just happened?" he asked.

The furry heap on the ground emitted some kind of high-pitched squeak, before pulling himself to a sitting position.

"Wainstripe? Wuh-why's there twoss of youuuu?" the kit questioned, swaying quietly. "An-and, how'sa youu, mistah?" Amberkit peered blearily at Frozenheart. "Sowwy 'bout tha' ..."

[Ten]

Frozenheart smiled at the kit - Rainstripe had called him Amberkit, so that must be his name. Since he didn't look like the gray she-cat, he looked up and past him for his mother, but saw no one close behind. Instead, his gaze found another gray tabby, this one a stranger. Not having heard Rockpelt's question, he nodded to him in greeting.

Rockpelt dipped his head in return. "Hello," he said. "I'm Rockpelt. And you are?"

Rainstripe looked over at the stranger-cat, Rockpelt, her fur standing on end. She was nervous, since she didn't know him, but felt a little safer with Frozenheart and Amberkit here. "Uh, Rainstripe,"she meowed warily, ducking behind Frozenheart. "I think Amberkit ran into Frozenheart," she added, answering his question.

"M' Ambersskit, arp," Amberkit muttered, lying on the sand. His small tail flopped around a little. "I'sh likes da name Fwozenheart, isha nice name." He then tried to smile back at the tom, and got a mouth-ful of sand instead.

[Ten]

Not having encountered many kits before, Frozenheart found Amberkit to be adorable, but he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with him. In a way one could only describe as awkward, he tried to pick him up out of the sand. His teeth took a gentle hold on his yellow scruff and he hoped the kit wasn't too out of it to find his paws beneath him.

[Darky [Megan]]

Amberkit gave a short 'erf!' of surprise when he felt Frozenheart's teeth grasp his scruff. His mother and father had used to do this to him, however, so the feeling was not alien.

Amberkit's paws flailed around a little before finally finding firm footing on the ground. He still had four front paws, however.

After a few seconds, Amberkit noted that his scruff was still being held. He turned his head as far as it could go and said, "Yoush can leggo nao."

"Amberkit, what exactly are you doing here?" Rainstripe asked, confused. Was the kit following her or something? If so, she didn't know whether it was sweet or creepy. Maybe she should ask him. "Uh, Amberkit, are you following me?" she asked bluntly, her yellow-green eyes looking cautiously at him.
