[He moves his head in a figure-eight, not really nodding yes or no.]

Well.. it was different, back home. We would patrol together, but we hunted alone, and most of my duties as an apprentice I did alone. We took breaks during meals, and to sleep, but we only really came together to celebrate an apprentice's first day, a warrior's last day, or a Gathering with the other Clans during the full moon. Usually... well, some of the older cats at least frowned on going out together for something that only needed one cat to finish.

[He pauses, mulling over his thoughts a bit more.]

It is nice, having someone else to talk to while I'm out gathering. I think I've been having trouble with silence since we got here.
