HE SAID, "WELL MY NAME'S JOHNNY, AND IT MIGHT BE A SIN
BUT I'LL TAKE YOUR BET, AND YOU'RE GONNA REGRET, CUZ IM THE BEST THERE'S EVER BEEN."

It wasn't very often that Johnny ate with the clan.
He didn't see the point of taking food from the mouths of cats who needed it when he had a bowl of food waiting for him at home, and so more often than not the tomcat would eat in the mornings before coming and then eat again once he went home. Every now and then Thistle or some other cat would practically shove something down his throat, but it always left him feeling a little guilty.
Lately though that guilt had lessened somewhat. His hunting skills had been improving lately, which meant the tom no longer felt as if he was taking without giving anything back. And so, when he trotted back into camp with a squirrel that morning and spotted a familiar, patchy figure outside of the nursery, he decided to make an exception to his usual rule of 'no eating the prey'.
Wandering over to sit nearby, he dropped the plump rodent on the ground and then let out a purposefully loud exhale. "Ah, I've done it now. Picking out more prey than I can eat on my lonesome- whatever shall I do?" he pondered loudly, smile barely supressed and clearly intending to be overheard by a certain voracious kit.
