Making An Effort [Moonkit, Lionkit, Raidkit]

[♣[Clover]♣]

After his little chat with Lionkit in the forest, Garentpaw had decided to actually try to get closer with the cats who would be his denmates in a few short moons. Currently he was outside the nursery with Nightkit, circling her and eying her critically. "Keep your tail straight...if you let it drag in the leaves, you'll alert your prey," he advised. "And keep low, but keep your belly off the ground," he ordered. His whiskers twitched in amusement as the black she-kit stretched awkwardly to try and accommodate all of the requests and wound up losing her balance and falling over. "Here, try to look like this," he mewed and dropped effortlessly into a hunter's crouch. His tail was straight behind him and lifted a whisker above the ground.

Nightkit watched carefully before trying the crouch again. "Like this?" she puffed and nearly toppled over when Garnetpaw gave a yell.

"That's it!" Garnetpaw yelped, sitting up and smiling proudly. He'd taught a kit how to crouch properly. This must be what it feels like to be a mentor, he thought, looking around. Cloverstar was crouching just outside her den, her eyes unusually bright and her pelt a big ragged. The striped apprentice frowned, but shrugged and looked back to his pupil.

Misty silver paws twitched to life. Moonkit awoke abruptly from her dream of mouse hunting Awww, that was a good dream too! she whined, the silver she-kit looked beside her, dark-kit was gone! Great, now what was she to to. She scanned the nursery with her pale yellow eyes, Lionkit was still here, and so was Raidkit. Nightkit has to be he somewhere! She silently rose and shook giant bits of moss from her silvery black striped fur and streched her scraggly legs the their extent and yawed one of the biggest yawns she had ever had. She slowly set out of the nursery keeping her sleepy eyes on the lookout for Nightkit. She blinked her eyes sleepily and caught Cloverstar's eyes, the small leader was sitting at the camp entrance watching someone.

She trotted over happily and looked at the leader Good morning Cloverstar! she announced, then looked in the direction of where her leader was staring. There was Nightkit and Garnetpaw, they looked like they where hunting, but there was no prey, Garnetpaw wouldn't be talking. She bounded up to Nightkit and gently bit his tail to get his attention Hello brother he mumbled with a mouthfull of tail.

"I'm your sister, silly," Nightkit purred. From the look in Moonkit's eyes, she guessed that the silver kit had probably just woken from a nap. The little black kit purred in amusement. "Garnetpaw was teaching me the hunter's crouch! Isn't that great? He doesn't hate us afterall!" she announced.

Garnetpaw shifted uncomfortably at Nightkit's announcement. "I never hated you..." he muttered awkwardly. His eyes shifted up to the kits before flashing back down to his paws.

Nightkit rubbed against her sister. "Do you want to learn? I can help Garnetpaw teach you!" she offered. Her tail was flicking back and forth excitedly. The nursery and apprentices' den had been rather separated until now. Nightkit had often heard stories of how apprentices used to come to the nursery to play with the kits all the time. It just wasn't until now that the black kit realized she liked the interaction.
