Ready? Steady? Gopher! [♡] open

 Elk-kit released a growl as she batted the mossball around, tumbling over it and falling down plenty. "You IvyClanner! Stay off our territory!" She said, succssfully sinking her little teeth into the mossball. She threw it in the air, watching it fall to the ground with a quiet thump before pouncing on it again, tail lashing as she batted it and clawed at it, imagining it to be an IvyClan warrior. She let off a victory meal, standing tall. "I showed you!" Her tiny voice squeaked. Her eyes landed on something else though... a particularly fluffy cat. "But wait, I see more! Attack!" She howled, charging forward as if leading a patrol. She pounced on Motthstar's fluffy tail, growling. She wasn't afraid!

Mothstar had better things to do than concentrate on the noises of kits - after all, he was leader of a clan now - and so he had allowed the cries and yowls of Elkkit fade into the background. Well, he almost did, anyway. The kit was rather annoying and so it was impossible to ignore her completely - hence why his tail began twitching back and forth.

Apparently that made his tail irresistabe, though - and Mothstar soon found tiny claws tickling his tail. "What do you think you are doing?" The leader grumbled, standing and turning to face his offspring. Hm. At least she was showing some kind of skill, he supposed? It was irritating, but it also put Elkkit in a better light than some of the other kits in the litter when it came to Mothstar's point of view.

"Has your moth not taught you to not pounce on your leader yet"?"

And suddenly the tail escaped her and she flopped into her belly. "What do you think you are doing?" The gruff voice of her father was unmistakable and scrambled to stand at attention, bright green eyes focusing on them. "Has your mother not taught you to not pounce on your leader yet?" He asked the second question and Elkkit sniffed, ears pinning back. "Sorry, da- Mothstar..." She muttered. "Its just that you're the only one who isn't busy right now and I thought... i thought you could teach me something." She added quietly, really just trying to get herself out of trouble.

"Hrmph. Well, first lesson: a leader is always busy." But this was his child asking for his guidance and somewhere, in the absolute depths of his heart, part of Mothstar appreciated that. Perhaps that was a good sign? If he could teach this irritating ball of fluff to be, well, more like her feather in general, perhaps it would result in a better future for her? In fact, he was certain that it would - and a better future for just one kit meant a better future for the clan as a whole.

He blew some hair out of his eyes before sitting back down and scrutinising his kit. She certainly has a lot to learn, but Mothstar supposed that was true for all kittens. "Would you like to learn some fighting moves?" The leader offered in a surprisingly soft voice (for him, anyway - which meant that he still sounded incredibly gruff). That sounded like a good offer to him - especially because Elkkit could then take the new moves and go and teach them to her siblings too.
