With a rabbit clutched firmly in his jaws, Chester trotted through the woods. Occasionally, his eyes jumped to Pepper, a gaunt, orange tom-kit, beside him. He didn't want to lose him among the twists and tangles of the forests. Chester wasn't sure what he'd do if that happened. Panic probably. He spoke around the mass of fur in his mouth, "You'll meet another kit when we get there. His name is Stone, and he can't speak. He was injured recently."[break][break]
Chester frowned. He hadn't really thought about it, but what would Stone think about Pepper? Should he have asked Stone first before taking in Pepper? What if the two of them didn't get along? He wasn't sure what he would do if they hated each other. There was no way he could abandon either of them. He'd promised himself to take care of them so they didn't face the same bleak kittenhood he had. Oh, but what if they actually didn't like each other? Would Stone kill Pepper? Would Pepper kill Stone? Was this him and Merry all over again?! This was all a lot more complicated than he'd expected. "Be nice to him!" he said suddenly, scrambling to patch an issue he'd thus far imagined into being. Chester took a deep breath. This was going to be okay. It would work out![break][break]
Breaking through the foliage, a tree greeted the pair. At its base, a burrow had been roughly dug out. It had been smaller at first, but after some work, Chester had widened the hole. Dropping the rabbit, he called out into the evening air, "Stone! I'm back." He could never bring himself to say 'I'm home'. The words felt wrong in his mouth. After all these moons, he wasn't sure if he would ever find a place he could confidently call home.[break][break]
Chester was always endlessly apprehensive whenever he returned. What if something had happened to Stone in his absence? What if a fox found him? Or a hawk? What if Stone ran away, got lost, and never came back? Not that Stone would run away, probably. The forest was vast and unsafe. It was part of the reason he'd ventured into the moors. It felt like he was always worrying about the small, mute kit. Chester needed to provide him, and now Pepper as well, with a safe place to call home as soon as possible.

The tabby tom had an eventful day thus far. He'd spent the morning bidding Chester a farewell as the tom ventured out to look for a new home.
Though the kit had wished the venture with the older, scarred individual. he had been nothing but obedient when was ordered to stay put.
And he was. For a bit.
Stone had managed to stay within the makeshift den for at least an hour. He had fluffed their nests, played with the bark of the hollowed-out tree, and even done his best to tidy up the area.
But as the day went on Stone's boredom grew. Eventually, he'd gingerly poked his head outside of the den, scented the air for Chester, and then promptly scampered out of the den when the coast was clear.
He spent hours outside of the den. Playing with the grass, chasing butterflies, and even wrestling with some oversized beetles he'd found.
When Chester had made his return, the tom was sat behind the den, batting at the chickweeds that had begun to grow behind the massive tree.
His ears perked as his name was called out. Chester's home! He excitedly thought, quickly snagging one of the tall weeds and gleefully running out to the front of the den.
He briskly chirped and chattered his teeth as he approached the tom, excitedly presenting the plucked chickweed to Chester. He glanced to the rabbit below him, bending down to sniff it as he forgot about the chickweed, dropping it as he did so. It didn't smell like just Chester... In fact.
Stone tilted his head and looked to Chester, flicking an ear as he swayed his tail, looking for the culprit of the unfamiliar scent.

[googlefont="Courgette"]  Survival Pepper was glad to be back in the forest. The moor was fine and all, but he had missed the tree canopy during his brief adventure. The forest was where he was born, where his mother had raised him before disappearing. The thought is bittersweet, he’s grateful to be taken in, but–it makes the absence of his birth family all the more obvious and painful.
The orange tom had assumed he wasn’t the only other cat in Chester’s life, but to hear it was another kit brought on a wave of excitement. He’d been deprived of the sibling experience during his earlier moons thanks to an unfortunate leafbare. Pepper beams at the older tom, his tail flicking back and forth in anticipation. “Really?!”
Pepper can tell that Chester is lost in thought after bringing up the other kit. He jumps slightly as Chester tells him very firmly to be nice to the other kit. Pepper’s confused to say the least, but he nods at the scarred tom anyway. “Of course, Chester!” The little tom could barely hunt his own prey–let alone harm another cat. Not that he’d ever want to, of course.
As they approach Chester’s tree shelter, Pepper shrinks behind the older tom. He’s nervous about meeting Stone. What if he can’t find a way to communicate with him? What if Stone doesn’t like him? Pepper’s rambling thoughts are cut off as Chester calls out to the other kit.
Stone is so much smaller than Pepper had imagined. Even smaller than Pepper himself. He emerges from behind Chester as Stone glances around–presumably to find the source of the odd scent on the rabbit. Pepper tries to seem as friendly as possible, smiling at the other kit. “Hi, Stone! I-uh-my name’s Pepper.”
“Chester brought me here.” He glances up at the older tom nervously, hoping that he’s making a good first impression.
they r a family unit ur honor |

Everything was going to be fine. Everything was going to be fine. He thought the phrase over and over as the pair trekked to their likely temporary home. If he just kept thinking that, he was sure everything would really be fine. Pepper's strong 'of course' made him hope as much. Oh, how he hoped they liked each other.[break][break]
In the brief moment between Chester calling for Stone and Stone appearing, panic was already beginning to set in. What if Stone didn't show up? What if the kit had wandered off and was now lost and alone in the woods or worse all because he'd left him? He'd have to start looking for him right away. His panic was short-lived and relief quickly flooded him when Stone's familiar chirp reached his ears follow by the tom-kit himself.[break][break]
Chester gazed warmly down at Stone. "What's that you've got there?" Gently, he nuzzled the top of Stone's head. From the way the quiet kit was acting, he'd already noticed the new arrival. Chester smiled softly, "We have a new friend, if you don't mind." He leaned to the side slightly in a small reveal of Pepper behind him. Chester didn't want to make Pepper come out so this was the most he would do.[break][break]
The scarred tom watched the two kits interact with concern. Pepper's nervous look was met with an equal parts nervous and reassuring look from Chester. You're doing great! His own introduction to other cats had usually consisted of glares and threats. Though he was earnestly trying not to do that now. "I met Pepper out on the moors," he offered.

The tiny tom-kit's fur bristled as a new cat emerged from the shrubbery. He pinned his ears as he took an uncertain step backwards, tilting his head as the stranger spoke.
Chester brought him? Stone asked himself. He blinked up to the massive tom, a look of confusion crossing his face.
He turned back towards Pepper as Chester began to explain. He flicked an ear, cautiously eying the newcomer.
Unease prickled down his spine as Pepper's greetings echoed throughout his mind. The tom-kit shifted uncomfortably as his thoughts raced.
Chester hasn't brought me to a dangerous cat yet.. And he never came across as the kind of cat be particularly... close with others or make sketchy choices. He rambled to himself, shakily leaning forward to taste the air, hoping the scent would give him more information. The kitten glanced back to Chester, flicking his tail at the older tom's unease.
Stone let out a curt sigh. He didn't want to be rude, even if he was still unsure. Besides, the tom was kind to him upon arriving. He even had a small, friendly looking smile plastered across his face.
Tail high, the little tabby curiously circled Pepper, his ears perked forward as he tensely observed the stranger.
The kitten made eye contact with the older feline, chattering his teeth and chirping softly as a way to formally greet Pepper.

Survival Pepper’s grateful for the reassurance in the face of the tiny tom’s uncertainty. He feels as if he’s being weighed, every inch of him scrutinized by the other kit. He wills his stance to steady.
Pepper regains confidence as Stone circles him, seeing it as a somewhat playful gesture. His small orange head picks up, tail perking ever so slightly. He cranes his head around to follow the tabby’s movements, a quiet giggle bubbling up from his throat.
He feels vaguely dizzy once Stone stills, warm amber eyes meeting sharp yellow. Pepper ears flick at the chirping sounds, registering them as probably being friendly.
Question was what to do now. Pepper’s still delightfully awkward with other cats, being deprived of them for so long. Should he add on to the limited backstory Chester’s voiced for him? If Pepper was the one meeting a stranger, that would make him more comfortable around them. “Yeah! I-uh-I’ve been on the moors for a while but I was born here! Well… somewhere around here, in the forest.”
Was that too much? Was he rambling? He occupies one paw fiddling with the grass beneath him.

This was going well, right? It seemed to be. The two kits weren't fighting, so it had to be going well. In the past, his meetings with other cats had been filled with a lot of snarling and claws. Given that was his frame of reference, he thought Pepper was doing well.[break][break]
The scarred tom lapsed into an awkward silence. At this junction, he wasn't sure how to proceed. He'd never been on this side of things. Chester shuffled on his feet. "Pepper's around your age." That was what he guessed. They seemed close enough in size. He did think the two were a bit scrawny. Or maybe that was normal size for their age? It had been a while since he'd seen any kits. [break][break]
Ah, he wasn't sure what to say. He'd never been much of a talker. Around Steller especially, he felt tongue-tied. But here, he wished Steller was around or that he was as good as her. She would know what to say and do. Pepper seemed nervous, and Stone was cautious, perhaps? What could he do to make this easier? His ears perked. That's right! The rabbit. Maybe food would help ease the tension. Chester placed a paw on the rabbit he'd brought. "He helped catch this. Why don't you two share it?" That would be fine, right?
