The shriek had taken Fudge completely by surprise, and it was soon taking everything within the young apprentice to not shriek right with his mentor. Eyes unusually round as he stared up at The Boulder, heart beating erratically as he gulped down the fright, the chocolate point soon found himself relaxing as the colossal feline beamed down at him, the praise he earned allowing a small purr to escape him. He had accomplished what he had set to do! The former kittypet had shown his mentor that he had the wit to apply just learned techniques to any challenge! Not that... not that he'd had any doubts. This was the only logical conclusion. To have assumed any other end had been foolish to begin with. Of course, having the confirmation was still better than not.
"Appreciative," the tall tom mewed in his usual, emotionless voice as his daily, blank expression returned to his face. An easier accomplishment now that his heart no longer seemed to want to beat out of his chest.
Leaving The Boulder to his other students, the young tom turned emerald hues towards the mess of leaves and twigs he'd made on of his pelt, and promptly began cleaning himself. He wasn't sure if he would be needing this amount of brush on him once they moved on towards other ventures in the art of hunting, but if he did, he could always replace the shrubbery. In the meantime, he would rather lie in comfort. Not that it lasted long, as his mentor was soon moving on with the lessons, giving those who had not been successful a chance to prove their worth, providing a few tidbits of suggestions as well. These last words perked the tom's ears with interest, deadpanned expression narrowing in thought. Ambush attacks were just... hunting. It was merely a different prey.
Yes. He could use that to his advantage in the future. Someone had once told him fighting was simply about taking any advantage offered to you. If ambushing wasn't so different from hunting prey, what other hunting tricks could he tie in to his fighting skills? And if he could out ambush a... what was it... a Shadow cat? Mix and match what he was proficient at to perhaps boost that in which he lacked? Maybe there was hope for him in the field of battle too.
