Okay, I rather love the potential of this dynamic! They are really going to struggle together at first! He's probably going to find Newt's behavior as brown-nosing and really annoying at first lol. But I picture Stem as really liking battle training, and he'll probably find Newt's fighting style really impressive and start to admire him more and come to see him as less of a suck up. He's not going to mind Newt's age as much, but there will be a lot of eye-rolling and sarcasm in the beginning lol. And if/when he sees a cat trying to manipulate Newt, he will challenge them whether Newt wants him to get involved or not (and then scold Newt for being a doormat).
I feel like they're going to end up with kind of a big brother-little brother dynamic!
Burned is not going to mind being the 3rd assigned to Lark, there are some tactical advantages to being able to train with more than one cat! He's going to appreciate her calm mannerism and experience, I imagine the first time he sees her lose her cool is going to surprise a little bit lol, maybe him being around her will help her in trying to control it?
I like both of these choices! Thank you both!
I somehow missed the notif for this but this sounds great !!! :D
