[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.

I don't know what a poet is, but I know what a warrior is. Although... maybe they're different, when they're Twolegs. The cats in my Clan believe that even when you're apart from your fellow warriors, their strength is still with you.
[Hm... he should share too, shouldn't he.]
For me... I miss most of the cats in my Clan, but especially my two best friends, Graypaw and Ravenpaw. The other apprentices don't like me that much, so we've done most of our training together and we always push our nests up together so we can fell each others' fur when we sleep. Graypaw has always been there to explain Clan customs I don't understand, and Ravenpaw is a really talented hunter, who always picks up on things Graypaw and I don't.

[Firoza listens intently, though, nodding and smiling at Firepaw's reminiscing.] They sound like wonderful companions.

No, I get it. The words sound nice, but it doesn't replace their presence.
[It's definitely different for humans and cats, but he's been having trouble sleeping without the feeling of his friends' fur against him.]

[He says this without actually considering the question - it just seems like the right answer, even if it's not entirely correct.]
I made friends with at least one person in Cheri that lets me sleep next to him... it's not the same, but it is nice.

[A pause, and some trepidation.]
...Wait. No. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself on accident. I have poisonous bits.
