Breezekit
|| She/her || 2 Moons || Just a Scratch ||
Cloverkit just... shied away? Was it something she did? Breezekit felt a pang of guilt. Hurting her sister's feelings wasn't something that she really wanted to do. The confidence she projected faltered for a few moments. She flicked her tail towards the space next to her other side, an offer to join her.
Cloverkit looked at Breezekit. Her green eyes rounded with worr. She was inviting her now? Was she going to make fun of her? Was she going to help her? What if Cloverkit tried to do the crouch and got laughed at by her sister! That would be so humiliating and scary and NO! Cloverkit put her paws on the ground but stayed close to her papa. Noticing Breezekit's tail... maybe she should....go? Cloverkit's small tan-ish brown paws crept towards her sister. Anxiety and nervousness radiating off of the little creature. Please please please dont make fun of me... Cloverkit gently settled beside her sister. Feeling a little bit better as Emberpaw gave her an encouraging smile. "O-ok" Cloverkit mewed quietly. Her tiny ears matching her mother's as she flicked them anxiously.

Good, her offer was taken. Even if Cloverkit looked like she was about to scurry away at the slightest sound or movement, she could consider it a success. Hopefully once they got to learning more, her sister would be less flighty. In her opinion, which was usually accurate, Cloverkit needed more confidence. Still, Breezekit offered a small smile, "Your form's not too bad."

Cloverkit slightly jumped at her sister randomly spoke. Jeez a warning would be nice.... wait. Her form wasn't that bad? The compliment made Cloverkit get a small happy feeling in her chest. Cloverkit could hide her stammered purr. "T-thanks....I uhm...your i-is good t-t-to" Curses! She just had to ruin it by stuttering...
Emberpaw streched his long limbs. "Hey Cloverkit, try to strech your hind paw a tiny bit more out. It's ok if you can't but, try to make you tail a bit more steady ok?" Emberpaw purred
@Luna16
Cloverkit attempted to make her tail more steady, but from her anxiety and nervousness the little kit just couldn't seem to get it. Eyes tearing up in frustration and humiliation. Cloverkit chose the nearest cat she trusted, in this case Breezekit, and plopped right beside her. Putting her forehead head on her sister's side, a very open and easy to read sign of anxiety that cats produced. Cloverkit wondered, was she failing? She was never going to be a warrior if she couldn't just straighten her tail! Ugh, what if she sucked and everybody was laughing! Cloverkit pinned her small brownish ears, hoping to drown out all laughter that might come her way.

It seemed like her assessment of her sister needing confidence was something of an understatement. Breezekit suppressed an eyeroll, reminding herself that Cloverkit just needed some reassurance. Not everyone could be totally great at this stuff like her. She licked her sister's ear, trying to comfort her. "C'mon, Embs was trying to help you out. You have to learn to get better." Breezekit looked to her dad, trying to get some backup.

Cloverkit let her tiny ears flop upwards at her sister's comfort. Cloverkit murmured. "S-so I'm bad......"

Well now, Breezey and Little Clover were practically leading this lesson now. The sight brought a soft chuckle from the tom, it was good to see how they interacted together. But he was concerned about Cloverkit's lack of confidence. He leaned down, gently giving his daughter a lick between her ears. "No, sweetheart. You're not bad." He purred with a smile. "Every cat starts somewhere! Believe it or not, your papa was a clutz when he first started learning!" He meowed with a hearty laugh.
With that said, Acornfall gave Emberpaw an encouraging wink and a smile, his apprentice was doing well. He'll make an excellent mentor when it's his turn. For now, Acornfall demonstrated the crouch again. "Breath into the stance. It'll feel weird at first and that's fine, but with practice you'll get a feel for it and it'll be like second nature." He hoped this would help, Cloverkit's main enemy was herself. But he didn't want to say something about it to her, it might be better left for a conversation later.
"Now, yer just kits right now. So some things you simply can't do, your bodies just haven't grown enough." He mewed, his gentle smile turning to a grin. "But that doesn't mean there aren't some things you can't learn. And if an intruder ever comes to the nursery, you'll be able to defend yourselves." His eyes sparkled with pride, as he nodded encouragingly. "If you're opponent is bigger than you, focus on what you can reach. The legs." He demonstrated by facing away from them, crouching down into his stance, and while crouched swiped out a paw. As though attempting to hook his claws around an invisible enemy's leg.
He turned to Emberpaw and blinked, now standing before him as though he were an attacking cat. His stance offensive rather than defensive. "Emberpaw, show 'em what I'm talkin' about!" He instructed, waving his tail with a challenge as he grinned at his apprentice.

Cloverkit felt her father lick her head, feeling a bit better as she stayed close to her sister. Was she really not bad? But what if others thought she was cocky? What if her siblings went ahead and made her look bad...what if her failing made them look bad!? Cloverkit worried internally as she watched her father demonstrate. Shyly trying it out beside her sister. Gosh! Stupid shaking tail!
Emberpaw heard his mentors challenge. A grin appearing on the Tom's maw. "Tch" he purred. Crouching down the best he could, he was not wobbly, calm. Emberpaw was well at his crouch as he had practiced it a lot. Emberpaw couldn't resist teasing his mentor by waving his tail. He made sure no kit was near him, gently using his tail to move Cloverkit back so he didn't hit her. Cloverkit pinning her ears nervously, the poor kitten thinking about how dumb she must've looked. Emberpaw continued by demonstrating the swipe under his mentors legs, hopefully hitting and tripping him, though when Emberpaw swung he didn't seem to put much force behind it as he didn't want the kits to see there father being knocked over. Emberpaw's eyes widened as he tripped. He gave a mrrow of suprise. Cloverkit squeaking as Emberpaw came towards her, Emberpaw not wanting to land on the kit. Threw himself to the side, landing with a thud. Emberpaw gave a heave as he sat up. Shaking out his pelt as he looked at Cloverkit, "You ok Cloverkit!? I'm sorry! I tripped and almost fell...." Emberpaw looked worredly at the kit.
Cloverkits eyes remained wide. It was all her fault he fell! She was in the way! Stupid Cloverkit! "I-im ok.....im...i-im ok are you? I'm s-sorry" Cloverkit fretted. Her small ears pinning, though they flicked up in suprise as Emberpaw gently brushed his tail under her chin, purring with lots of friendliness. "Its ok! I'm ok dont worry, if your ok then everything's ok!" Emberpaw purred. Cloverkit couldn't hide her small bit of excitement. Mr. Ember was so nice! He didn't even blame her? Oh no.....was he being fake? But...his eyes look so kind it convinced the kit slightly more.
