"Hello, sweetie. I'm Spottedlight. Your family...I haven't seen anyone. But maybe some cats I know have. I am part of Windclan, we run patrols over here." She explained, chest tightening with emotion, "I don't smell any foxes or badgers nearby, I am sure they weren't eaten." The shecat licked the kitten's ear gently, trying to make sure the small cat stayed as calm as possible. There were other cat scents, not belonging to windclan, but they were stale. The last time they were here was early in the morning. "Is Patches one of your family members?"

"I'm Shrew!" She chirped happily, seeming in much better spirits now that she wasn't alone anymore, and she blinks as her head tilts, "WindClan? What's a WindClan? Is it fun? What's it like?" She questioned in a rush, not giving her the chance to answer one before the next came out in typical kit fashion, and she purred when her ear was licked, leaning into it with half-closed eyes,
"Oh, good! I wouldn't want them eaten! Well, maybe Patches, but only a little eaten, not dead eaten, just so she could be picked on by somebody bigger for once." At Spottedlight's question, she nodded so vigorously she tipped forward with a surprises squeak, shifting her paws to balance herself,
"Uh huh! She's my sister. Jet's my brother and Amber's my mother. Jet and Patches are always mean to me but Patches is the
worst. She always complains that I can't keep up because my legs are short, and always knocks me away from food so she can have more than me - but Jet does that too. They did that all the time even when we were still drinking milk! She even bit me once!" She holds up her tail, showing a wee little scar on the side where she'd been bitten, "And Amber never did nothing to make them stop. I think she didn't like me being small, either. Is being small bad?"
