The mention of kits instantly getting the newly appointed warrior's attention, Snowybreeze lifted his head quickly, staring with renewed focus towards Twilightstar. Her words stirred a small, uneasy feeling at the pit of his stomach, remembering how Twigkit and Waspkit had both gone missing not too long ago. He wished he could say this was a more recent phenomenon amongst WindClan's newest kits, but even when he'd been a nursery resident himself, Snowybreeze had known kits who had simply vanished, Honeykit and Applekit coming to mind instantly at the thought of disappeared kits. Keeping the kits busy seemed sensible, and while he was sure some of them would balk at the mere idea of having their playtime messed with by having to take lessons, keeping the lessons optional seemed like a rather good compromise. If anything, it would at least give the queens some well earned rest while their own kits were off learning, and it would certainly give them a head start over other apprentices, especially those from other clans.
Finishing her announcement by calling both the deputy and her son to sit with her, Snowybreeze twitched his tail in thought as other cats quickly volunteered to help out with lessons. Not wanting to interrupt or drown out the other cats volunteering, the large tom remained sitting while lifting himself on his two hindlegs before pawing the air before him, a silent sign to let the leader know he was happy to volunteer himself too. True he had just been appointed as a warrior himself, potentially having less to offer than a more seasoned warrior, but even he could pass down a few basics to kits! Practicing stalking and crouching techniques had been most of his earlier apprenticeship, and despite his clumsiness, he had not been terrible at battle training, Squirrelear even praising him once he'd finally gotten new moves down. If he wasn't a good match for the role of educator, well... he could always serve as a stand-in badger for whoever got chosen to teach battle basics, and he would be the best stand-in badger WindClan had seen yet.
