"Oh. Well. I said all that stuff 'cause I wanted you t'know. Also I guess, uhm. I don't...know what I should say. I jus' wanna say stuff." He explains with a penaive look, like he wasn't really sure of any of this, himself, before he sat down and started putting it into weirda. Maybe she thought it was too much, like how he hadn't wanted to leave the nursery for the longest time, since everything on the outside was just...too much. Hm.

"I can probably talk less, y'know. If it's bad," Mosquitokit offers. "An' I just asked 'cause—well, I already said. Um, but also, you should know," oh he is flushing with shame, now, but he's not gonna let himself back out of this no matter how warm and itchy his ridiculous ears get. Being honest has been a good thing, so far, so he's going to stick it out. "I felt bad for starin' at you earlier. That was, maybe, not very polite, or nice. S-So I wanted ta talk t'you, so it was better. An' ask you stuff, so I know about you an' don't have t'guess, since I think I'm bad at that. Guessing, I mean." It's much easier to learn about cats by just talking, he's found.

"Um. Uh!" He trips over his next sentence a few times, but only because he's suddenly excited—or, something like that. It's just that Mosquitokit's identified a similarity they share, and he's suddenly so eager to express it that he gets stuck on the way, tripping over his sounds. "Sss-sorry, but um! It's okay! I think, too. I mean! I mean of course I do, 'cause everyone does, but what I was—I mean, it's okay. It's okay. If you gotta think for a bit, that's alright. 'Cause sometimes I need to, also. So...uh, so if that's the problem then, don't worry. Y-You can jus' think until you wanna talk." Since he knows, now, he doesn't think he'll take offense to any long pauses. Not that he really would have, before, but now everything makes a little more sense to him. She must have to make lists, too, or...well, maybe she does something else. Or maybe she really does just think.

It matters not to Mosquitokit, though he might ask later for idle curiosity's sake.
