~ Lioncrest ~

Stars have mercy on them, if his large stature had only transferred to Elkkit through sheer vocal power then he'd go deaf long before they became warriors...

Ears tilted away from his son as he let out yet another loud exclamation and toddled off to torment the molly that had indulged him. A rumbling chuckle escaped his chest, and Lioncrest merely turned to meet his mate's tired gaze with a warm one of his own and gave her a gentle touch of his nose before nudging her back towards the nursery.

"I'll keep an eye on our little warrior," he rumbled, fluffy tail flicking up to brush against her back. "You go get some rest. I shall return him once he's had his fun and is ready for a nap."

Amusement danced in his eyes as he turned back to observe Elkkit's attempts at attacking Redhawk's limbs. She was being a good sport, allowing the kit to do as he pleased and encouraging his efforts, she would be well equipped to mentor young ones fresh out of the nursery. Perhaps he would begin introducing his kits to certain aspects of warrior training sooner rather than later. At least one of them seemed to be chomping at the brambles to learn and explore.

"Perhaps you could practice your snake-hunting skills on my tail rather than Redhawk's legs Elkkit," Lioncrest offered, flicking his feathered tail out to the side as an enticing choice and to draw his son away from battering the unexpecting molly with his tiny paws.
