Leafmist laughed. "Alright, well I'm not much of a fighter even now, let alone back when I was an apprentice. So when I was out on a hunt, and I stumbled right into a badger with it's cubs, I was besides myself! I was an older apprentice by then though, so I knew I couldn't just run. I dropped the prey in my mouth and waited for it to charge- you see, even at their fastest badgers are really slow. So, their attacks are easy to dodge. I didn't want to kill her, since she had cubs, but I wasn't going to let her kill me either!" She paused, looking down at the kits to see their reactions. A shiver went down her back at the memory of her encounter- she still hated badgers to this day.
