Ever since he got here, everyone keeps trying to . . . talk . . . to him. It's weird, if you asked Coltkit, which he guesses is his name now, instead of Chainsaw. He's used to it just being him and the Twolegs in the big cool house with its warm patches of sunlight, long sprawling days where he didn't have anything to do except get weird stuff rubbed in his ears, and then not even that. But a couple days ago, the big Twoleg with the pelt on its face had unceremoniously dumped him out of the big moving thing, into this weird green world. It'd been a quick flurry of way too many pelts and scents and mrrows, and somehow he's ended up in this dim green den with, like . . . a lot . . . of other kits.
" Bleh, " Coltkit pokes his small pink tongue between his front teeth, flopped on his back so the bits of sun that beam down through the canopy above warm his belly. They finally started letting him outside, at least, but they're always talking about weird stuff . . . Gatherings, and a Warrior Code, and a bunch of other weird stuff Coltkit doesn't even bother pretending to understand. Mostly he spends his time napping in the sun between meals.
Coltkit squirms in the dust, puppyish ears flopping, then shuts his eyes. The other kits are cluttered around him in a quasi - orderly fashion to be instructed on this Code thing that Coltkit's just, like . . . not finding as interesting as the warm sun on his belly. When do we get to eat again?
