Some seemed familiar enough - she wasnt gone long enough to feel like an outsider just yet - but a few were...new. Be it former loners or formerly missing cats much like herself, the clan had grown during the moons she had been missing.
Still, one pelt in particular grabbed her attention. It was someone who she was sure she could have recognized no matter what. "father" she greeted smoothly, or as smoothly as one could considering the circumstances. She sat down in front of him, her half-missing tail tucking close to her body. "I left camp on my own. I already understand how foolish that was, and Dawnstar scolded me for it already. A twoleg injured my tail and took me to its den, which is where i've been the past moons" she replied, short and to the point.

The dark tom sat down, his eye catching on the she-kit's missing tail, his own stub twitching unconsciously. He listened to his daughter's explanation, a small bit of disappointment settling in as he pieced together the implication that she had left separate from Goldenstep and their other kits. His eyes narrowed slightly as his hopes were put on hold. Even still he couldn't help but throw the confirmation out there,
"So you left on your own. Not with your mother." He didn't look away though he knew he wouldn't like the answer.
"If you don't want to be scolded for something then you should begin thinking through your decisions before doing something like running off on your own." Though there was a part of him that was mildly intrigued by her story of being captured by a twoleg, he found himself skeptical. It'd explain how a kit survived out on her own but he didn't know twolegs to simply let a cat go once they had their naked paws on one; it wasn't an easy feat to simply escape, from what he knew.
"You say the twoleg did that to you," he looked pointedly down at Burningkit's severed tail,
"Then healed you. Why would it do such a thing?"
