Ravenwing shook his head. "Me neither," he responded, frowning as he tried to recall if Nightclan had mentioned any kits. "Thistlefur has been excited about his new apprentice. I bet he never lets that poor cat sleep," he joked.

Ravenwing chuckled, his whiskers twitching. "He used to step on every single cat in that den in order to get out. I don't know why he never moved his nest towards the entrance!"

"I thought she was going to kill him!" Ravenwing laughed, shaking his head. "To this day Riversong won't forgive him. Sometimes I think she wakes up early just to step on his tail."

Tigerpaw looked up from a beetle he was distracted by, eyes shining brightly as he nodded to Thistlefur.
"Of course! I'm always ready for training!"
Swiftstorm looked a bit unsure, but hearing his mate's assurances always did help. He nodded.
"Well...if you think I can, then I can...it's just strange, I never imagined I'd ever have kits let alone a mate! But...I'm lucky." He gave a small smile.

“Great!” Thistlefur purred, heading towards the entrance “We’re going to be practicing the basics of hunting today,” he mewed as he walked next to Tigerpaw. “It’s amazing how hunting techniques can later on help you in battle.”

"Awesome. Just you wait, I'll make even the warrior's jealous when I show them up at hunting." Tigerpaw smirked, scampering after Thistlefur. His big sister had already taught him some good techniques, but he hoped Thistlefur would too.

Thistlefur nodded his head, proud to have an ambitious apprentice. “We’ll start with what you already know,” he told Tigerpaw. “And it shouldn’t be long until you have the basic hunter’s crouch perfect.”

"Sounds good to me, Thistlefur. What are we looking for? Birds? Fish? Oooh! Mice?" Tigerpaw asked energetically, lifting his nose to draw in as many scents as he could remember. He looked at his mentor expectantly, his tail swishing.

“We can start with birds, and move our way towards the river.” Thistlefur decided before stopping. “What do you smell, Tigerpaw?” He asked, lifting his nose into the air. He could hear the faint rustling of leaves and the scent of thrush entered his mouth.

Tigerpaw looked thoughtful for a moment before he grinned and nodded boldly.
"There's a Thrush nearby."

Thistlefur nodded his head in approval. His apprentice was already developing into a fine warrior! Flicking his tail in the direction of where the thrush was, he lowered his voice. “The key to catching birds is to be as silent as possible when climbing. You want to sink your teeth into them before they can fly away.”

"Silent, got it!" Tigerpaw nodded quickly, taking in his mentor's words and slipping into his best crouch. He asked.
"This look good?"

Thistlefur once again nodded his head. “Now the thrush is on the lowest branch,” he murmured, tilting his head towards the prey. “When you’re ready, leap up and sink your claws into the thrush so if can’t get away.”

"Okay! I think I got it." Tigerpaw smirked, eyes narrowing as he focused on the thrush. He crept, looking upwards at the prey, before he finally made his move. He leaped a bit early, and had to stumble and scrabble to make the catch, but he finally brought it down, killing it.

“Not bad for bird hunting,” Thistlefur said, watching as his apprentice took down the thrush. “Next time wait a little longer before leaping so that the kill is cleaner. But a very good beginning to hunting.”

"Thanks. Yeah, that was kind of sloppy, huh? I'll do better!" Tigerpaw promised. Even so, he pawed the thrush with proud eyes, puffing his chest.

“I always thought birds were the trickier prey,” he assured Tigerpaw. Being a large tom, Thistlefur had always look awkward when climbing and leaping after birds. “It took me a while to finally look decent hunting them,” he joked. “It’s good to carry your weight in your hind legs so it’s easier to jump.”

"Ah! That does make sense. Leapordfang can jump really high with her legs." Tigerpaw bragged, proudly addressing his sister's skills. He bragged.
"Soon I'll be as strong as her."

Thistlefur laughed, nodding his head in agreement. “Leopardfang is an excellent warrior,” he agreed, thinking of his clan-mate. “You’re well on your way to be an excellent warrior.”

"Sometimes I forget that we're all warriors with the way they act," Ravenwing admitted in a light-hearted tone. "And it's hard to believe that Thistlefur already has an apprentice. I just saw him take Tigerpaw out a little while ago."

Tigerpaw looked even prouder at that as he grinned toothily.
"You really think so? I've been working real hard to get better at my training. Soon I'll be on the front lines and I'll win the battles for Moonclan!" He nodded quickly.

Thistlefur grinned at his apprentice's enthusiasm, seeing his own pride and ambition in the younger tom. "You'll be on the front lines no doubt, he purred, "but first you'll need to learn more battle moves.

Ravenwing nodded. "Silverstar knows how to pair warriors and apprentices," he agreed. His eyes flickered over to the nursery, and he tilted his head. Will I have kits of my own before I mentor?

"Of course we can!" Thistlefur exclaimed as they headed deeper into the forest. "Being able to defend your clan is one of the most important things I can teach you," he said, keeping his eyes alert for any prey.
"Just thinking about Honeycloud's new kits," he murmured. "I don't think...I don't think I'm ready to teach a younger cat yet. But I wonder if when I am I'll have kits."
