Would you rather lead or follow?

I live in the woods, it isn't as if there is a crowd around here, leaders like they had when I was in the army and people who would follow them around and take orders.

There's me, and the Blouseman, and Hendrix and Santana.

I reckon that if we four had a leader it would be Hendrix... That kitten really has a mind of his own and can be quite bossy.

Me I wouldn't mind following him around, as long as I have my Blouseman by my side and the four of us are together and are here in the woods where we're safe and happy.

If we have that why should I care about leading or following?
