[Scorpionkit]
ShadowClan Kit
No Purrks

Scorpionkit would glance upwards at Rookfire and attempt to correct herself. It was... somewhat successful, better than it was, but not perfect. It wasn't like she could be perfect right now though; she was just a mere kitten! Either way, the dark tabby she-kit continued stalking forward. Then, when she thought she could leap, she did. Scorpionkit leapt as far as she could -- not very -- straight onto the moss ball. With a squeal, she sank her claws into the object, baring her teeth with glee. Slowly, she began shredding it, her tiny teeth gleaming as she did so.

When she finally came out of that shredding trance, she'd glance upwards to see both Pantherkit and Rowankit catching their prey. "WE DID GREAT!!!" The tiny she-kit screamed, tossing her forepaws upwards, sending moss pieces flying through the air around herself and onto anyone who dared stand too close.

ROOKFIRE
[ he/him | shadowclan medicine cat app | purrks ]
[ #rookMCA24 ]

rookfire hadnt seen pantherkits 'catch' due to still being focussed on scorpionkit and her unique technique but cheered all the same when the dark brown tabby skidded to a half in front of him. "very good, see yall are gonna be th' next elite" with a nudge to the shoulder with his tail the medicine cat took his attention from pantherkit once more.

"tzk tzk tzk i see what yer doin' here hmm? are ye the wee trouble maker i should be worried about rowan?" rook addressed rowankit following the kits confession with a nudge to the shoulder, more playful than the one he had given pantherkit but gentle enough to avoid knocking her over. honestly, he wasnt enough of a educator to really make up his mind about this enough to react in a sensible way. for all he cared these were kits and just engaged in silly business every once in a while and that was fine with him. some part of him felt like he was supposed to be scolding but rooks roleplayer had decided he would be the cool uncle type cat for the dawnspawn so he is very much not going to do that. "i'll see how much of a hunter ya are 's still up for debate now" he encouraged, waiting on the kit to sink into her wonky crouch and approach the mossball before leaping or rather running at it with a snarl and beginning to tear at at it.
[b]"aye good work but maybe dont rip up all th' mossballs aye?"[b] was that gentle enough to not kill the mood? hopefully.

"better scorp', good catch" the medic praised over the screams of success the kit let out upon realising rowankit and pantherkit had also succeeded at catching and promptly destroying their moss balls. man how could nightshiver deal with all of them at all times...
"d'ya want ta' play a game? one of ye n i can be the prey n the rest'a ya catch practice sneaking up on us hm?" final offer, he had genuinely not thought about this for long enough when he had been 'planning'.

Venomkit
Shadowclan kit

Venomkit hissed angrily in return as Rowankit smacked her paw over her mouth. No touchies! She'd be loud if she wanted to be! She had rights! The kitten tried to bite her sister's paw in retaliation, throughly mad now. 'That ought to teach her not to be a muddy stick!' she puffed out her chest, not quite getting the saying correct in her mind but she had the spirit.

Distracted from her fit of rage, the toygress erupted into quiet snickering as she witnessed Scorpionkit's act of troublemaking. Heh, all her siblings were so bitey! Had she bitten someone yet? Well she'd clawed another kit and almost scaled grimpeak and those were way cooler achievements so she had nothing to worry about. No one could dethrone her as the best!

Ooooh wait, mossss!! The braided tabby immediately jumped at a mossball as it rolled slowly towards her, tackling it with her body. Excitedly shredding and bitting it, she momentarily forget this was a hunting session until Rookfire spoke again. Snapping her head around, she kicked what was left of the mossball away from her and moved into a slouched sitting position.

Blazing green-amber orbs observed as the medic demonstrated and pointed ears perked as he gave advice. For once her attention seemed to stay in place...for a little while. Grinning confidently, she dropped into a hunter's crouch like Rookfire had shown the others, muscles tense and forked tail lifted just above the ground. Letting her breathing fall into a mere whisper, Venomkit set her sights onto a fresh mossball.

Adrenaline rushed through her veins as venom waggled her haunches in the show tell signs she was a about to make a leap. Luckily for her, Venomkit had been praticing her jumping lately and aiming where she wanted to land so this would be easier than it would be for a lazy kit. In a flash, she pounced. Landing swiftly on her target, talons pinning it to the ground.

Success! Pleased growling emerged from the toygress' throat as she kneaded at her moss prey. Unlike her other siblings she didn't need to look for praise, she was cool! Grabbing her newly claimed mossball(it was her greatest possession now!) she rushed over to Rook at the mention of a game, "I wanna play a game!" She chriped inconsistently through a mouthful of moss. She'd sure like to catch one of her littermates!
