"Is it okay if you show it to me?" Tawnyfur asked cautiously. "Or, would you prefer to keep it private? I don't mind." She added quickly, not wanting to intrude on the kit's borders. Brokenkit hesitated for a second, before he nodded. "Alright. I'll show you." He changed the directions of his steps, heading into the quieter part of the forest, though it still wasn't too far from camp.

Tawnyfur followed the kit, her pawsteps light on the undergrowth. A few minutes later, Brokenkit led her to a couple of fern plants, blocking the path he'd been taking. He looked back and squeezed under them. When he straightened again, he was in a clearing, a small one, but still a clearing. It had a small boulder in the corner and soft moss underpaw. The small kit padded forward, giving room for Tawnyfur to come in after him.

Tawnyfur squeezed through after Brokenkit, looking around. The clearing was beautiful, and she was in awe of it. "This is a beautiful place!" She mewed. "How did you find it, if you don't mind me asking?" "I-I don't," said Brokenkit, but he looked at his paws, a little embarrassed. "I was looking for a place to get away from the other kits. I wanted to practice hunting without them seeing me fall on my face. And I ended up in here."

"Well, you're lucky to have found it." Tawnyfur mewed. "I think that it's a lovely place. And I bet that you'll get better at hunting with practice. I was awful at it when I first started!" "Really?" asked Brokenkit, looking a little hopeful. "You were?" He couldn't imagine that a full warrior could have ever been bad at hunting. How else had they made it to become a warrior? He looked at his paws again. "Y-you don't think you could show me how, do you?"

"Of course I'll show you!" Tawnyfur purred. (Level up. 3 more level up to go. ) Brokenkit actually grinned a little. "T-thanks," he said, small tail flicking with a touch of happiness.

(Awesome!) "First, let's start with a simple hunting crouch." Tawnyfur mewed. Brokenkit nodded and did his best to remember what a hunting crouch looked like, trying to position his body to match the image in his head.

"That looks good, but tuck your back legs a little bit further in, and keep your tail sticking straight back, like this." Tawnyfur mewed, demonstrating. Brokenkit did as he was told, but nearly fell over. It was hard adjusting to the new position.

Brokenpaw fell over, onto his side. He gasped as he suddenly lost his balance.
(Poor guy...)

Tawnyfur lunged for Brokenkit, grabbing him by his scruff before he could fall. She gently put him down again, letting him regain his balance. "I'm sorry." She mewed. "I should've seen that you were losing your balance." "I-it's okay," said Brokenkit, who had been surprised both by losing his balance and by Tawnyfur lunging to catch him. "U-um, thanks," he muttered, looking at his paws. "For catching me, that is."

"What do I do now?" asked Brokenkit.

"Let's try the hunting crouch again." Tawnyfur mewed, licking a paw. "I bet that you'll get it this time!" "Alright," said Brokenkit, getting into the corrected position he had been it. It still made him feel a little off-balance, however.

"Perfect!" Tawnyfur mewed. She dropped a small pebble in front of Brokenkit, about a tail-length away. "Pretend that that pebble is a mouse. How would you go about catching it? Remember, it can smell you, hear you, and feel your vibrations through the ground, before it actually sees you." "I'd fly," muttered Brokenkit. Only, the feathers along his back had never made it to wings. Instead, he did his best to stalk forward lightly, trying to be as quiet as possible. He was still having a little trouble keeping his balance and ever second or third step was a little to heavy.

(Sorry for late reply. Was on a trip.)
Brokenkit shook out his fur, frustrated, but tried again. He was a little better this time and pounced on the rock, grinning, tail flicking in pleasure.

"That was brilliant!" Tawnyfur purred. "See? All you need is practice." She gave the kit a quick lick on the head in praise, smiling. (It's okay!) Brokenkit was a little embarrassed, but please. "Th-thanks," he said. His mouth twitched at a smile crossed his face.

"Shall I show you something new?" Tawnyfur asked. "Or would you prefer to do something else?" "I'm okay with learning something new," said Brokenkit. (Level up!)
