Otterpaw stretched in his nest, half awake from stirring in his nest. His paws extended as he flipped onto his back and moved every muscle he could to prevent any soreness from the training that he had been doing the past few days. He huffed as his paw poked someone else who had been sleeping in the den as well. Green eyes opening, his foot twitched away from the fur as he mumbled a sorry. Green eyes peered back at him as he looked at who he poked with his paw, unsure if the she-cat was angry about it or not. "Sorry I didn't mean to touch you!" He explained softly, "I always stretch and roll around in the mornings cause it stops my legs from being sore and helps me move better, you know? I think it's good for you, I got my mentor, Mumblefoot into the habit too because once you start doing it you can see how fun it is to do! I like rolling around in the morning in the dirt because if you go hunting then you have dust going into the wind instead of your scent. I think it's smart but other cats don't like having their fur dirty because they have to lick it off when you're done for the day but once you've tasted earth long enough, eh, you get used to it." He spoke out, his voice was a whisper and most of his words were mumbled out as he closed his eyes again, feeling over all sleepy but he probably wasn't going to go back to a full sleep for the rest of the day.
He shifted onto his belly, his eyes still resting, he faced the she-cat that he had stirred from sleep. "You're Fawnpaw. right?" He asked, "I'm guessing you don't roll around in dirt because you're white! Well that's okay, I think if I had white thick fur like that I wouldn't want to roll around in dirt either. How do you groom yourself? It looks like you have a hard time because you have so much! I'm surprised that you don't have hard clumps of fur, unless you share tongues a lot with other cats, that's cool! I always wanna share tongues but I don't think that they like me talking so much, but I think that's the point of sharing tongues is to talk to each other and share stories because that's what elders do to kits. They groom them and they tell stories and I try doing the same thing but it looks like they just get annoyed and I don't understand why."
