You know, he'd never thought about why it rained. Or why anything happened, really. This question Shiverkit asked him had him frowning, racking his brain for some line of reasoning that made sense to the young kit. "If they cry, then..." he hesitated, briefly distracted by a big drop of rain splashing on the ground, "Then it falls on us?"

He'd heard of this StarClan before, but nobody had ever explained to him just what it was. "Ummmmmm," he buffered, "are StarClan the cats that--that live up in the clouds?" Morningkit squinted back up at the sky, watching the rain fall all around them.

As Shiverkit spoke, Morningkit's eyes grew round with wonder. Woah, there was so much stuff he had no idea about! So StarClan cats lived in the stars—those sparkly things he sometimes saw at night? But there were so many of them... "That's a lot of cats," he meowed thoughtfully. As he pondered what the fellow kit had explained, his train of thought steered itself back to the idea of clouds. Why were they there if cats didn't live on them? Were the stars on top of the clouds? The gears in his head turned, trying hard to find an answer for his young and inexperienced self. Wait, where would the stars sit if there weren't any clouds in the sky? Hmmm. That must meant they didn't live on the clouds, or in the clouds. Maybe they didn't have anything to do with clouds.

Oh, he was getting confused. Morningkit dropped this line of thought and instead wondered about something else that had caught his attention. "Stars are vuh--viisible in the day?" He looked up at the sky, but it was too cloudy for him to see much. "I never seen them." Then again, he didn't look up all that much! And Shiverkit was so smart, he was inclined to trust her word.

The rain picked up, spattering the ground with little droplets of chilly water, and Morningkit's whole body shivered. "It's cold!" he observed astutely, fluffing his fur out.
