Brows furrowed thoughtfully as Fudge considered his mentor's words. He raised a dark limb, tapping his toes against his chin before giving a single nod. The idea that he could hurt The Boulder even by trying was comical, to say the least, but it was most certainly a bit of a boost in morale to know that at least it wasn't just him not going for the kill. In truth, he had a feeling that he could be going all out against the colossal feline while they were simply toying with him and that would still leave the battle stacked against him. He had no doubt he would survive, as in earnest the apprentice would realistically run away before his life was ever in any danger. The mere idea of putting his life on the line for a bunch of star worshiping cats who were just as likely to end him - they certainly seemed to kill a lot of their own clanmates, in any case - as his enemies was hilarious, because yeah, that wasn't happening. But he wasn't naive enough to believe that sort of thinking would certify him as a cat out of training. No. These cats wanted mindless cats who would die for them, not cats who thought outside the nest. That much he knew.
His mind brought out of its reverie as The Boulder continued speaking, the Havana Brown mix found himself blinking owlishly at the mention of his climbing skills. Who was this Redhawk who had tattled on him? He didn't climb much around others, certain enough of his skills once he had honed them that he kept them mostly to himself. The only exception of late that he could remember was... Oh. Chatty!
Fudge puffed up with pride, his silky brown fur fluffing up impressively. To have his mentor notice how he was always successful in his hunting patrols was enough of a ego booster, but to also have had the cat whom he'd equated to The Boulder be friendly enough with them to mention his hunting prowess? That was a two for one right there. Not only was his climbing evidently good enough to be talked about, but he was also no doubt growing better at understanding these felines. He had seen the resemblance to his own mentor, had he not? And here it turned out they were friends! Oh, his levels of genius impressed even himself sometimes.
"Presently," he drawled, his tail giving a small twitch of excitement as he brilliantly missed out on the context clues of The Boulder taking notice of the minute version of doom incarnate in the immediate vicinity.
