Fang, distracted by Pallas's hunting technique, didn't realize Ra was attacking until he felt the weight of a cat pushing down on his back. He hesitated a split second, and then whirled around, hopeful to throw the young tom off. True, he would have a better grip if his claws had been unsheathed, but that quick twist would probably throw any cat as small as he off balance. After twisting, he reared up on his hind legs and jumped, despite the extra weight. In the air he twisted again, knocking his paw into the side of Ra. His tail waved and helped him to balance again, and then he landed on all four paws, casually licking his paw as if nothing had happened. That had always irked him when he trained with other apprentices as a kit. "So, think about what you might've done wrong and then come back to me." Fang gave his attention back to Pallas and gave her preformance accolade. "Quick learner, you are. We'll get into the specifics of hunting different kinds of prey once you get a few more hunting techniques down pat. Last time you were hunting a mouse, this time it's a hare. Probably the most difficult because of their hearing and alertness. You must be very quiet and swift as well. Show me what you can do." And at last, he turned his attention to Pirate, a questioning look in his eyes. He was a kittypet, though, and where would he learn what a badger was in a two-leg nest? "Ahh, so you don't know what a badger is? Hope you never have to meet one. I actually reside in an old badger set. But anyway, they are big and clumsy creatures, enemies of the Clans. Very big with long, sharp claws and dangerous teeth. They are terrible, to put it simply." He shrugged, now waiting for Ra to come up with and answer.

"Oh." Pirate looked around at all the cats and their different activities. "So what are you doing?" He sat down on his haunches, curling his tail around his paws. He didn't talk much to other cats, considering they didn't meet near his house much.

Pallas nods and turns back to the leaf,ears perked.She again stalks towards it, Just as she was about to pounce, the wind stirred,and as if it wished to help her hone the skills she was learning,it moved teh leaf as a rabbit who had heard something would have lifted its head.Suddenly the leaf was air-born, a fleeing rabbit from the hunter, and Pallas gave chase,
Ra settles into the grass, blue eyes narrowed as he concentrates on his thoughts.He should have been prepared for Fang's reaction, and he should have had a stronger hold.He lifted his head to look at Fang again."I should have been prepared for you to try throwing me off."
Asia smiles at her brother, nodding.His answer did make sence, but there was something else he could have done as well, but she'd let him figure it out.Ears twitching, she turned and watched Pallas charging off after teh leaf.Uneasy with this,she stood so she coudl better watch her,

Fang settled on his paws while waiting for Ra to answer. He looked towards Pirate and gave him a nod. "Well, right now I'm teaching a few apprentices to hunt and fight. Even a kittypet needs to know something." He excused himself and heard Ra explaining what he had done wrong. He thought about it a moment, and then realized that there was something else he could have done to prevent from falling off, jumping off first. "What you've said was true, but you can add more to it. The trick is to jump off before you can be thrown off. Right as you think I'm about to turn on you, leap off and go at me again, it doesn't really matter where yet. The key is quickness." He looked at Pallas for a moment, watching her playful pursuit of the leaf, and then averted his attention back to Ra. "Alright, ready?" He twitched his whiskers once again to signal for Ra to start and prepared for a pounce.

Ra nods,shifting on his paws as he thinks about his attack this time.He crouched low before pouncing on Fang again,this time though he aimed for Fang's shoulder and kicked at the legs gently, liek he had seen Kiger and Asia do when they once played.He put a bit more pressure on the leg to buckle it then jumps off.
Pallas continues to pursue her leaf, springing into the air to pin it down,but it always alooded her small paws.It was clear her hunting training had turned into a play time but she was still learning in a way.
Asia follows after her slowly, ears perked high to to just hear Pallas but to listen to what Fang was saying to Ra adn Pirate.The tom was very kind, and rather handsome.She felt her ears warm and smiles faintly.

Ooc;; Make Pirate go into combat with Ra, a Clan cat vs. two kittypets, that ought to be interesting.
Bic;; Fang let out the faintest hiss as Ra attacked, just about to rear up on his hind paws before he leapt to the side. His eyes brightened as Ra pounced off and he shifted his weight to the one paw for a second as the other leg hurt. That would've been a good time to attack, right as he was struck, but then he kicked his back legs and twisted around, then leaping at Ra and crashing into him, careful not to strike him as hard as he would in another battle. His pounce was aimed well, going for the right shoulder, and he prepared for impact.

Ra squeaks and pounded Fang's body with his paws to get him off.He gained enough space to turn onto his paws and he slowly wriggles free and turns again to face the tom again.
OOC: Writer's block

Fang purred, amused by the squeak that irrupted from his jaw. He faced Ra again and nodded his approval, a slight fire in his eyes that reminded him of the Clan days. Ra was his temporary apprentice, and so was Pallas. Sure that Asia was keeping watch over the young she-cat, he focused more on Ra, pleased with his preformance. "Well done, Ra. Just don't forget, a battle never stops at one move, nor a couple, keep going until the enemy seems defeated or retreats. So, are you ready to really step up? Come on, let's go, no stopping, either." His heart started to beat a bit faster and he readied himself in the classic position, on front paw positioned a little bit farther up the the other and tail lashing. His eyes narrowed, he twitched his whiskers once again, there goes nothing.

Ra gives a quick nod,flexing his muscles to relax them and lessen the strain.He moved each of his paws to copy Fang's stance, tail low on the ground however and his sharp ears forward.His blue eyes were a darker tone,shadowed by his ears and his thoughts as he concentrates on practising his fighting with Fang."I'm ready"
Pallas springs ahead of her sister, following teh leaf closely.She smiles as it finally starts to come down, and her paws start to slow.Finally it settles into the grass and Pallas stalks it again,placing each paw down slowly with her body hidden under grass.She springs forward, pinning the leaf below her paws.Biting it,she turns to look at Asia proudly when she yawns. 'Im tired Asia.."
Asia purrs and pads over to her,licking her snowy head softly."I bet you are,lets take your prize back to Fang and show him you caught your 'rabbit'."She mews softly,lowering her head to pick Pallas up by the scruff as the kit clamps down onto the leaf so it didnt fall away.Asia turns and starts trotting back to Fang,eyes light.This day was turning out to be really fun.

ooc: Sorry for poofing, Pirate will now join the battle! *imagines Pirate boarding a ship* bic: Pirate padded up next to Ra, a new light in his eyes. "Aye, I be joinin' this battle!" he cried merrily, crouching low to the earth. "Whose crew be I on?" He hoped they weren't distracted by his language, he thought it was funny sometimes.

Fang, pleased that Pirate was making it more even, flicked his tail towards Ra. He smiled just the slightest bit when he heard him talk and took a step forward, smooth and graceful for once. "You be on that team, matey, it wouldn't be fair, facing this little chap with the two of us, aye?" He decided he'd play along in this little accent, he had learned a thing or two from those nights where the little two-legs would dress up and go around to other people's houses, all these weird pelts on them, funny thing, really. Anyway, he had overheard some kits talking funny, like this, and had picked up. He looked at Pirate expectedly and waited for the signal to start, they would be the ones to say it this time.

Ra blinks when Pirate spoke his odd assortment of words.What did he say?He turned to Fang and listened to him starting to talk weird too.Is this contagious...cause I know Fang use to talk right.. but his mind was distracted as Fang got back into the stance for fighting and he understood then.Pirate was on his side!
Asia pads back into view, Pallas limp in her jaws as she dozed.Settling bakc into teh grass,she placed her sister down and nudged her to the white fur on her belly,smiling when Pallas snuggles against her warmly.Asia turns her attention to the toms,watching with excited eyes.

Pirate smirked at the sound of Fang's returning words. "How did you know that?" he inquired curiously, tipping his head to one side. "Never mind. Shall we start?" He got into place next to Ra, tail twitching merrily.
