[This is a bit of a struggle, but Firepaw is doing his best. A very under-sized Litten is trying to put himself in frame, but he's a little awkwardly close.]

Um... hello. Can everyone hear me? My name is Firepaw, I'm- I was an apprentice of ThunderClan. Oh- and I used to be a cat, before I came here. A lot of you know me already, but... yes.

[Just going by his voice, it's pretty clear he's a kitten. Public speaking feels incredibly bad, even without a visible crowd.]

A few of you Twolegs - humans - have four legs now, and I wanted to offer help with getting used to that. I can teach you how to hunt and fight, or at least step lightly. I don't know much about our new powers, but we might be able to practice those together too. I can also help with learning different scents, since I think humans can't smell as well as cats, or... Pokemon. That might make gathering herbs and berries easier, too.

[One more thing which... feels like blasphemy for a cat, but he needs to do it.]

And... if anyone knows how to swim, I think I'd like to learn. If another storm comes with new folk, I want to be able to help them get to shore.

[Hm, yes, stretching... A.B.A focuses on his every move and concludes the best course of action is to just repeat everything he does. The moment he finishes stretching, she's right behind him, streeeeeetching just as much, giving herself a good shake once she's finished.

Step one, complete!

But now the real work begins, the quick swipe. A.B.A frowns at her own claws when he begins his explanation, she's pretty sure these things don't retract. But! She came here to learn, and she'll turn herself just enough to make sure she doesn't claw him to death.]


Just...like....YOU!! YOU-YOU-YOU!!

[A.B.A's baps are...clunky. Her chitinous forearms make her much more stiff and their length causes them to be less aerodynamic. She feels more like she's just waving it around than the graceful movements of her teacher.

This, of course, frustrates her.]


GAHH!! Like...YOU!! [wavewave] LIKE YOU!! [flail]
