As Angry continued speaking, Fudge couldn't help but think that the two of them must have had vastly different encounters in Twolegplace, as she called it. The city he knew was fraught with dangers, starvation, and cruelty. Perhaps it got easier. When you could survive on your own. When you didn't need to rely on the kindness of others to scrape up a half filling morsel. The chocolate colored apprentice narrowed his eyes, wondering how long it would take him to get there. To such a safe state of strong self reliance.
The mention of sinkholes was quick to cut his musings short, however. Dark brown ears instantly perked as he listened, remembering the day the camp had exploded. Imploded? Whatever, it was no longer there. It had been shortly after he'd arrived, as a matter of fact. Couldn't even get settled down before the whole place burst up and he found himself homeless. Again. Fudge didn't know much about the territory beyond the camp. Kits weren't allowed outside. But... he wasn't a kit anymore. Not according to these feline's customs, in any case.
Even though he was an apprentice, it seemed there were parts of the territory that were still out of bounds for him. This wasn't good. The less he could do, the more replaceable he was. If he was kicked out, that was it. Even if someone protested in his behalf - something he doubted would happen, considering not even his mentor seemed to have an interest in him... whoever this Tigerface was - no one would be able to save him. He needed to avoid this before it happened. Before he was labeled useless. Maybe he wasn't allowed near this Hairy Hollow, but... he could go to the outskirts. He'd been there before. Maybe he could join the party? Show he could be of use?
Standing up, Fudge reluctantly got out from the shadows, his eyes emotionless but downcast. He didn't really feel like attracting attention to himself, even if he had a goal to accomplish here. Sitting down before the big rock again, the brown point kit turned his gaze skyward towards Angry, emerald hues studying the molly before speaking.
"Volunteer," the new apprentice stated, knowing there was a good chance he would be looked over the others stepping forward, but feeling a sense of safety in at least displaying the willingness to go through with the patrol.
