[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.

[He does try as Firepaw suggests, but that just ends with him very flat on the sand.]

....I'll figure that out someday that might not be today.

[He draws himself up to sit, quite like a meerkat.]

Anyway. You wanted to figure out your new powers as well, didn't you?

[Doc tenses at first; Firepaw might notice that, but he doesn't actually shove Firepaw away this time because he's realized and resigned himself to the fact that Firepaw apparently has no concept of personal space.

Eh, Doc's dealt with worse. He gets back into a sitting state, though, because being flat on the ground isn't conductive to anything.]

Yes, your firebreathing is impressive. [That's actually not sarcasm.] Say, have you tried biting anyone yet? Seems that's something you can do even harder if you make it into a move. I think it's got to do with channeling whatever... magic you have into the action.

Oh yes. We share a possible move. Shadow claw, if I'm not mistaken. Hell if I know I'll be able to demonstrate, though, but that's the point of this outing, isn't it?

Unfortunately, I don't have any of the books here. I don't think the librarians'll take kindly to finding sand in all of them.

Yes, biting people tends to cause nasty infections if you don't clean it fast. That's why you don't want to be caught dead without a first-aid kit.

Anyway. Moves are magic bullshit and don't come with a free side of bacteria, so it's no longer a consideration. I haven't read anything about infection risks, at the least, so I doubt it's an issue.

[Firepaw tries biting, anyways, and-

...Where does he even start troubleshooting this. It's not like he hasn't taught his agents anything before, but this is so far out of his fields of expertise.]

Let's try something- Have you figured out the move scratch yet? Channelling your magic into your claws. I'm certain your species learns it.

Medical supplies. ...Everything you'd need to not die in the field before you can get back to base. Bandages, disinfectant, needles and thread, splints, fire blanket. Probably a pair of scissors, too, but a knife works in a pinch.

[Anyways, Firepaw uses Scratch! ...It's a normal-type move and can't be super-effective my joke doesn't work damnit.]

Congratulations. Remember how you did that- try doing the same with your bite.

[Man Doc really isn't a particularly good combat instructor, which is kind of ironic. Look, all of his agents came to him pre-trained. Or they trained themselves.]
