Did those two NEVER get tired of their inane arguments? Sparkkit and Shockkit were at it again, although this time Sparkkit was the instigator. At least both of them had managed the stalking correctly? Neither of them had managed an actual leap(though Sparkkit had gotten good distance lunging at his sister), and Deerkit seemed equally unable to complete the task. Fawnkit did well though, so it wasn't so much her teaching style(although Tansyjaw had never once questioned her own capabilities, so this hadn't been in consideration) as the kits willful stupidity that prevented their success. And willful stupidity was NOT a valid excuse in her books.
Leveling the offenders with a glare of supreme disapproval, Tansyjaw mewed
I don't know why you're all standing in front of me when only one of you has completed the task. Until ALL of you have managed something at least resembling a crouch, stalk and pounce, NO ONE is going anywhere. It was perhaps a bit unjust to punish Fawnkit for the buffoonery of her clanmates, but Tansyjaw had been dealing with the entire clan full of fools her entire life. It wasn't fair. She got used to it. Or, occasionally, got even. When they didn't immediately all begin hunting about, she added a bit conspirationally
Or, of course, those who fail can help me clean out the elders den. That's all you'll be doing as apprentice if you can't hunt, after all. That should get them moving. @
