Cam catches a summons while he's in the middle of Atriama. He's seen it before, it's fine.
"I remember reading somewhere it's possible for the kittens in a single litter to have different fathers but I don't know if that's true."
"Really? Well I don't think it would be very common for a queen to want to have kits with more than one tom at once, but I suppose it could happen."
"I think most species can't do it at all and I certainly don't know if talking cats or cats in general on this world are different or anything."
"I suppose it could happen that a queen could want to have kits with more than one tom at once," Fireheart clarifies. "I don't know anything about litters having multiple fathers."
"I found out that Tigerclaw was in Twolegplace meeting with rogues. A few days later, he sent out nearly the whole Clan on patrols, and the rogues attacked while the camp was undefended. One of them tried to kill Bluestar. I stopped her, and since I'd sent Cloudpaw to call back all the patrols, our warriors started returning. But we still might have lost if a RiverClan patrol hadn't shown up to ask for Graystripe's kits and helped us fight.
Bluestar and the rest of the Clan finally believed me about Tigerclaw, and she exiled him."
"I've been assuming RiverClan is so called because they're near the river and you're ThunderClan because you're near the Thunderpath and Starclan are so called because they're dead but the other names don't make obvious sense to me."
"WindClan is called that because they live out on the open moors and are very fast. And I don't think ThunderClan is named after the Thunderpath."
"I don't know. But RiverClan's the only Clan not next to it, and ShadowClan is the one on the other side from everyone else, so I think it must be something different."
"Huh. Pity you guys don't write, if you'd had records I could recover them even if they were lost."
"There might be other cats who know. Anyways Brokenstar had sided with the rogues during the attack and afterwards he died."
"And then RiverClan came back and took Graystripe's kits. And Graystripe."
"If the Clans want more cats why isn't there recruitment among feral cats that live in the town?"
"I don't think they want just any cats. Admitting me into ThunderClan was - controversial."
"Well, I was a kittypet, but even rogues weren't raised with the warrior code and mostly don't follow StarClan and - might not be a good fit for Clan life. I imagine that one who really wanted could join a Clan, but recruiting sounds like it would just lead to cats entering Clan life without really wanting to be a part of it." He flicks an ear. "And that would be troublesome."
