Silver sighed in frustration. "I'm worried for you Kit." He strained his meow to her. "What if you're two legs want the kits to go away?" He asked her. "What then?"

Kit suddenly bristled. "Then I'll keep them away! I'll keep my condition hidden from them and the kits can be born under one of the bushes out here so that they won't know where they are anyway." She looked around before spotting a large gorse bush by the right corner of the fence. "That one would work." She flicked her tail at it.

{Kit really doesn't want to take Silver's advice, does she? } Silver slumped his shoulders. "Okay, Kit." He meowed, defeat and respect in his voice. "I respect your wishes, I just wish you would just consider what I've been saying." He meowed to her. "I also fear that Uge will come back. And next time, I will have no choice but to kill him." He meowed, worry and concern for Kit evident in his voice. -- Tigerflight nodded at his comments. "Silver has a point, Kit." He soothed her. "I don't want to influence your decision, but we are always open to you." He meowed and laid his tail lightly on her side.

Nope. She a rebel XD))
Kit nodded in approval, knowing she should consider all of the solutions. "I am considering it. I just don't feel the need to have to depend on others at the moment." She stood with a swish of her tail and scented the air. "Do you know where any moss patchs are? I wanna go ahead and make a nest under the bush."

Tigerflight and Silver shared a quick glance before Tigerflight answered. "I can go get you some moss." He told her, he was happy that she was independent, but he wished she would listen to reason. "How much moss do you think you'll need?" He asked Kit, knowing this would be the first time she would be building a nest.

Kit thought for a moment before glancing at the bush and then back to TigerFlight. "Maybe two good-sized bundles. I want the nest to be comfortable." She then looked around before a smile crept onto her face. "Silver. Wanna help me shred one of the pelts that my two-leg's cover up with? It would add extra comfort."

Silver nodded as he followed he into the den. HE glared at the Dog that just glared right back at him.

Kit led the way through where the two-legs kept their food before turning and entering a wide area with large, comfy pelt covered things sitting around and a black box that when switched on showed moving pictures. She looked around before spotted a silver, fluffy pelt laying on the ground at the bottom of one the large pelt covered things. "That one will work. It's suuuper soft!"

Silver nodded as he complied with her request. He knew her two legs would be unhappy, but he wanted Kit to be comfortable in all this. If she wouldn't take his advice, he would do what he could to prove to her that he literally cared more than anything for her.

Kit's claws worked at the pelt as she tore long strips off of it and piled them beside her. when she had as many as she could carry she picked them up started to pad back through the den toward the yard.

{Back. It'd been a long day though. :/}
Silver followed her lead and tore at the pelt, ensuing that he could carry tons of it before following Kit out of the den again, ignoring the dog as it yapped at him. He ducked into the bush and placed his load next to Kit, who was working on building a nest for herself. "Are you sure about this Kit?" He asked in a last ditch effort to persuade her otherwise. "You can stay with me." He offered.

At least u can relax now))
Kit shook her head. "I don't like depended on others, you know that." She then turned to him, her eyes blazing. "You always tell me to trust you, well Silver, now you need to trust me."

{For now. } Silver nodded. "I do trust you." He told her. "I just don't want to see you get hurt again." He told her fondly. "But I-" He stopped. This isn't the time to tell her... He thought to himself. He smiled at her and asked. "What else do you need?"

Kit nodded and continued to mess with the nest. She did't want to put anymore strips of the pelt down though util she got the moss from TigerFlight. "Um... hunting lessons. I hate the two-leg food and I want to be able to hunt instead."

Tigerflight padded into the bush with a large bundle of moss. "Will this be enough?" He asked as he took in the looks the other two were exchanging. Oh boy, Silver's in Love. He thought to himself as he rolled his eyes. "I can go find some more if you need it, or if you two need some... space." He added lamely. -- Silver looked over at the other tom as he rolled his eyes and slightly blushed. "No, no not at all." He replied to him. "She wants us to teach her how to hunt." He reported without faltering, despite the awkwardness. "Why would we need space?" He Challenged.

Kit lit up when she saw the moss. "Perfect!" She then grabbed the moss and set to work. Making the nest a little bigger than her she layered moss and then the ripped up pelt over and over again before finishing it off with the last of the ripped pelt on top. She then stood back. "There!"

{Lol. She's totally oblivious.}
silver nodded. "Looks... comfortable." He meowed, not knowing exactly what he thought of using two leg things in a nest. "So, hunting lessons?" He asked, trying to think where to even start since he himself hadn't finished learning how to hunt during his short time as an apprentice before he left the clan.

Yep))
Kit nodded and padded out from under the bush. "I only need to know enough to be able to catch something." She turned to the two toms, eyes shining.

{Sorry about the poof... Woke up sick. Slept most of the day.}
Tigerflight giggled at her excitement. "Okay." He meowed, his whiskers twitching in amusement. "Well, the best way to see what we may need to teach you is to see what you can do or already know." He told the young she cat. "At least we can teach you what we know." He added with a look over at Silver with a hint of sadness in his gaze.
{Did we ever decide who Silver's mentor was before he left?}

It's fine. Also, what about SnowHawk??))
Kit nodded excitedly before thinking for a moment. "I know how to crouch." She then crouched down and shuffled forward a few paces.

{Sure. That would explain why Silver wasn't too happy to see him last time.}
Tigerflight nodded. "That's exactly how you hunt." He meowed in surprise. "Crouch and shuffle forward. Then when the time is right, you pounce on your prey." He told her.
|

Post by Jekyll on Apr 20, 2018 21:17:56 GMT -5
Ok!))
Kit cringed at that. "I haven't ever been able to pounce far. I can only go maybe a tail length and I have no idea why." She let out a sigh.

Silver cocked his head to one side curiously. "Show me." He invited her kindly. He thought he had remembered a story about her catching a mouse before. "Perhaps we can give you some pointers on how to jump farther." He meowed joyfully.

Kit nodded and crouched down again. She focused on a stray flower petal a few tail-lengths away and bunched her muscles. She judged the distance once more before pouncing but her paws felt as if they slid behind her and she dropped to the ground half a tail-length from where she had been.

"Hmm..." Tigerflight meowed thoughtfully. "I think I see your problem." He told her with a look at Silver who nodded. "Are you using just your back legs to pounce?" He queried thoughtfully. "Using just your front or back legs to pounce lowers your chances of going further." He explained as he demonstrated using only his back legs to pounce, and landing within a tail length of where he had started.

Kit watched and then cocked her head to the side. "I thought you used your front and back legs when pouncing. Let me try again." She crouched down, aiming for the same flower petal. She pounced again, this time using only her back legs. She squealed in satisfaction as her paws landed on the white petal.

Silver nodded. "See?" He asked happily. "Your back legs have more strength in them to help you have power when you jump." He explained.

Post by Jekyll on Apr 21, 2018 13:40:06 GMT -5
Kit nodded happily as she sat up, her eyes sparkling. "Since I actually know how to pounce now that means I can hunt! Yay!" She purred happily and ran up to Silver to nuzzle his cheek gratefully.

Silver embraced her nuzzle, though he felt hot under the gaze of the other tom. "You'll make a great hunter." He agreed. "There are usually a lot of mice around the old two leg nest." He told her fondly. "In case you want to go and hunt for some real food."

Kit frowned. "I would rather hunt in the woods." She flicked her ears toward the fence that the forest lay beyond. She then smiled but fear flitted through her eyes. "Silver... will you help me raise them. I don't think i'll be able to do it alone."
