why can't i just take a bit (o)f a break / joining

[align=center][div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:13px;"]cherrypaw was not a big cat. he wasn't like, comically tiny, but he was definitely smaller than average. because of his appearance, people frequently mistook the nearly 4-year-old cat for a child-- and the pink didn't help him much with avoiding those kinds of assumptions. combining all of those reasons, cherry expected any newcomer to treat him as such.

just as he had expected, people soon came in response to his calls for help. the candy-colored feline had received "help" in the form of the alabaster white feline. " i... i just woke up here," cherry chuckled in his uncharacteristically gruff voice. " happens a lot. figure i might as well scope out the area," he finished with a grin. something deep down told him to back away from the albino, but that seemed rude, so cherry decided he'd stand his ground for the time being.
