Some cats might just stick fully to "he" while others may alternate to use their pronouns as intended :) He wouldn't correct a cat who strictly uses he/him pronouns, either, because he does identify as a tom rather than specifically being nonbinary, he just uses he/them pronouns with that identity)
Mintkit. Ducknose couldn't remember how old this kit was, but the name did give a sparkle of familiarity in his brain. He must have heard some talking about Mintkit's litter. "Well, it's nice to meet you Mintkit." They gave a quick dip of their head in the kit's direction, a sign of respect as well as a greeting. Ducknose was a firm believer in giving each clanmate of his respect until they lost it; most believed respect had to be earned, but in the warrior's mind simply being a clanmate beside them was enough for them to earn that initial respect.
They eyed the laughter and enjoyment taking place in front of the two cats, mind whirring to put together a plan to let this experience be fun for the kit beside them. And, if Ducknose was being honest with themself, they'd love to join in on the fun, too. Heal a little bit of their inner kit who had longed so strongly for a chance to join in on something like this. Shifting, he decided that his earlier honesty seemed to earn some interest from Mintkit, so perhaps that was the best approach.
"Mintkit... do you think you could do me a favor?" He turned his yellow eyes onto the kit once more, ears still trained on the commotion in front of the two. "I... I think this would be a very nice experience. For me," they quickly clarified. "But, as a warrior... well, it'd look funny to join if I didn't have a reason to. Do you think you...?" Ducknose left the question in the air between them, sucking in a breath while awaiting Mintkit's response.

Mintkit's gaze didn't miss Ducknose respectful gesture, and she felt a wave of warmth through her body as she accepted the warrior's kindness with a nod in return. She turned her blue eyes forward again, still keeping the consciousness of his gaze brushing her gently. Usually the other cats' gazes pierced into her fur, making her burn and at unease; but Ducknose's felt innocent and safe, so she didn't mind having him closer.
Her left ear turned when the creamy warrior started murmuring something... And Mintkit thought she knew what he wanted to achieve, but she was wrong. He wanted them to join together. She stared at him with a blank expression that was hiding all the surprise she was actually feeling, quickly replaced by something new. How weird. It seems than only older cats approach me... But she was totally fine with that.
Graciously she uncrouched from her previous position and fixed her blue gaze into those of the warrior, giving him her implicit consent. She couldn't really remember the last time she had played like this, but she was glad to help Ducknose if he really needed it. Besides, she was free to leave any time.
