| Snowybreeze & Lightningpaw |
There was a shared look of confusion and concern between both warrior and medicine cat apprentice at Crookedkit's words. He seemed... to not fully understand what was being said? Or perhaps he was simply being a kit, with wonder in his every step and his attention span making it hard to grasp at everything that needed to be understood. There was an unspoken question in Lightningpaw's gaze. One that Snowybreeze quickly caught on to, and was even swifter to shake his head at.
There was no need for concern or to drop the class just yet. While the gentle giant was not as sharp or quick with the uptake as his companion, he did have one thing in spades that Lightningpaw seemed to still be lacking. Patience. He was more than willing to give this young kit the benefit of the doubt. Make sure his attention was not simply misdirected before jumping to conclusions. Besides, look at how cute he was. Wanting to snuggle up to him. How could he say no?
A gentle smile tugging at his lips, Snowybreeze nodded, laying himself down to be closer to the young tom.
"Yes. Of course. You may," the patched warrior purred at Crookedkit, Lightningpaw quick on the uptake and taking back to gesturing for the kit.
"Now. Since. You are curious. About. The code. Let us. Begin. With. The basics. Shall we? The first. Set of rules. We need. To discuss. All relate. To clan loyalty. And how. It differs. From friendship. Or alliance. To other clans.
For example. The first. Of the laws. The clans. Abide by. States. That we may have. Friendships. With cats. From other clans. But. This should. Never. Get in the way. Of defending. Your clan. Friendships. With other clans. While alright. Must always be. Followed. With the knowledge. That those warriors. May one day. Be enemies.
This is why. We defend. Our clanmates. And must keep. Our clan. First in mind. Loyalty. Should not be divided. If it is between. Your clan. Or a friendship. With another clan. Cat. Then your loyalty. Should be unwavering. If not... Clan life. Might not be. For you," Snowybreeze mewed, attempting to keep this part of the code as friendly as he could.
It was true that the code allowed friendships between cats of different clans, but the older Snowybreeze got, the more he tended to wonder if there was a point to it. He himself had tried to gain friends in other clans, but had never had any luck. The other cats seemed to know as well as he. A friendship today might simply make a battle all that much harder in the future. Tilting his head, he waited for Crookedkit to absorb what he'd just said. If no questions were had and if everything was understood, he would move on to the next portion of rules.
