Checking in on Sparrowpaw and Mothkit

[amaterasu]

Mothkit slowly stalked a mouse that was scuttling around the the undergrowth. He had gotten better in the moon that he had been training with Sparrowpaw. He couldn't really use his eye as an advantage, but it surely wasn't a disadvantage anymore.
He pounced at the mouse and killed it swiftly.

Sparrowpaw was stalking Mothkit via the trees. When he made his kill, she leaped down from the tree in front of him, landing on the ground with a light thud. "Great catch!" she purred excitedly, glad to see how much progress Mothkit was making.

[amaterasu]

"Thanks!" Mothkit purred. He had been getting better at not jumping when other cats surprised him.
"Do you think we can go back to Stormshadow now? What does he think of me, I wonder?" Mothkit added.

[J I N G O]

"I think so!" Sparrowpaw mewed happily. "Maybe we can get him to assess you." she suggested.

[amaterasu]

"Yeah!" Mothkit mewed excitedly. He picked up his mouse and went running back to the camp. He skidded to a halt next to the fresh-kill pile and dropped his mouse.

[J I N G O]

Stormshadow watched Mothkit and Sparrowpaw come into the camp and walked up to the two cats. "Well? It's been about a moon." he meowed GRANDLY.

Sparrowpaw almost started bouncing with excitement when she saw Stormshadow come up to them. "Stormshadow! Come assess Mothkit, won't you?" she asked him, happily. "He's doing so great!"

Stormshadow laughed a bit and then nodded his head. "Very well."

[amaterasu]

Mothkit's eye shone with excitement as he marched out of the camp. He didn't know what he should do to show off to the deputy, but when he caught a scent of vole he went into the hunter's crouch. He slowly stalked forward and leaped before it even knew he was there.

[J I N G O]

Stormshadow watched Mothkit catch the vole with no effort at all. "That was a good catch." he meowed slowly (but grandly), "What about fighting though? Has Sparrowpaw taught you any fighting moves?"

[amaterasu]

"A little." Mothkit mewed, "Would you like to see?"

Without waiting for an answer, Mothkit went running and leaped at Stormshadow. His back paws landed on the cats shoulders. Mothkit smacked Stormshadow a few times before propelling himself off. He bit the toms tail when he landed behind him.

[J I N G O]

"Good, good." Stormshadow mewed, shaking his fur out after the black tom's attack. "Now, if you want it to come down to a vote, the most important thing is letting every other cat know that you are worth something." he mewed. "Have other cats seen your progress?"

[amaterasu]

"Sometimes I sneak out on patrols with other cats! And they see what I've brought back to the fresh kill pile!" Mothkit answered happily. He so badly wanted to be a warrior!

[J I N G O]

Stormshadow looked at Mothkit with amusement shining in his eyes. "Well then, I want you and Mothkit to come with me to request that Cinderstar cast a vote." he meowed to the two black kitties.

[amaterasu]

Mothkit almost died of excitement. He went running ahead and only stopped when he made it outside of Cinderstar's den. He could scent that the tabby cat was inside, but he was too scared to just walk on, or even call out to ask to enter.

[J I N G O]

Stormshadow and Sparrowpaw raced after Mothkit, but Stormshadow was the one to call out, "Cinderstar? I have to speak with you."

[amaterasu]

Cinderstar heard her deputy. She didn't like the tom's tone of voice, for she didn't feel any sort of anticipation coming off of him. They weren't under attack.

"What is it?" she croaked as she came out of the den, "This had better be important, Stormshadow!"
