Bouncepaw is tired. He trudges to the fresh kill pile after some training and practicing, stretching, about to rest. So many hunting lessons, and he was still a less than mediocre hunter. Bouncepaw sighs. It's to the point that he feels embarrassed and ashamed to even take something to eat from the prey pile without contributing much, though he won't say it, only taking the smallest and stale morsels due to guilt. Bouncepaw pads forward, mind still complicated, when he hears a loud commotion in the clearing. It was loud, noisy, and the sound of a squeaky... kit?
He blankly looks at the scene. First at the squashed fresh kill pile, then Leopardsong, then at the kit who's busy running away from the queen. He knew Windclan had a large wind of kits recently, but he didn't think it would make the clan this noisy and active. Bouncepaw watches the kit run towards his direction, then at just the right time, he picks up Littlekit by the scruff, ignoring her scrabbling and screeching. She smelled very strong, Bouncepaw notices. It was as if she'd been rolling in the prey pile.
He glances back over at the squashed prey pile, and feels a subtle anger go over him that he has to calm down. He had so much trouble trying to feed his Clan and help in any way he could, and these kits were ruining everyone's hard work. Catching prey wasn't easy, and not only that, it took a life. Prey deserved respect. But his anger disspates quickly. They were only kits, and Bouncepaw wasn't a very angry cat. He only feels frustrated. Bouncepaw looks over at Leopardsong.
"Where should I take her?" He asks the queen, his voice muffled.
