"Kinda is, yeah, but we can make lots of other sounds to compensate."

"Hm."

Morningflower starts making a really weird noise as they walk.  She eventually hits upon a pitch interval she apparently likes and tries to repeat it a few times, with mixed success, before moving on.  After a few more of those it becomes clear that she's attempting Scarborough Fair.

- awwww! Cam will hum along once she's not starting and stopping much.

She pauses when he starts.

"- it's permissible for multiple people to make music at the same time if they're doing the same song."

"You're better at it, though."

"If we were performing for an audience that would matter, but we are not."

"If I decide I like this I can practice alone.  I'll learn less from listening to you if I'm also making sounds."

"Oh, okay." He will hum the rest of Scarborough Fair and then do Danny Boy.

Morningflower occasionally squeaks along for two or three notes at a time.  On a few of them she manages to match Cam's pitch but not most.

"I think there's a pitch app on the computer."

"Are there more of the things that you're doing?"

"Music? Yeah, I think some comes preloaded with the software pack I included but I don't know if there's much or what kind it is."

"Alright.  Do another one?"

He will sing the next one! What does Morningflower think of Lunapop?

She still doesn't give much indication of an opinion beyond her occasional off-key attempts at chirping small handfuls pawfuls of notes.

That's okay. After that he veers into humming Ode to Joy.

Morningflower tries a string of notes long enough to be limited by her breath support.  She gets more pitches at least approximately correct but trends distinctly flat by the end.  She lets Cam finish the piece solo after that.

When they get to the border he remarks, "I think it's cool you wanted to try it. If you don't wind up liking what results you can get with vocals I can set you up with a musical instrument sometime."

"I might only like music at all if I can find a non-decorative reason to; I still haven't decided.  But to offer that is generous; thank you."

"You're welcome. See you around."

"Safe journeying," she bids.

And on to the last clan on the list!

The first cat he comes across in RiverClan territory is a gray tabby peering curiously out from some reeds.

"Hi there! I am here to give RiverClan a computer."
