Like his kin, the sudden holler of Scorchstreak's name from Bluepool startles Luckykit, paws jerking through the dirt where he had been idly forming shapes. Wide eyes follow the source, and even if the next words aren't quite so loud as the initial call, he's still able to hear enough - Bluepool is asking Scorchstreak to spar with her. It's not an unusual request, he supposes, considering even he's witnessed the occasional spar in camp, but this time it's Scorchstreak participating, and with a pang he realizes he's never actually seen his mother in action. Sure, he knows she's strong from all the stories he's heard, and that she's an especially skilled tunneler, but stories surely don't compare to the real thing. As Scorchstreak appears, responding to the summons, other WindClanners begin to trickle over, gathering to observe, and after giving his ruined work one last glance, Luckykit trots over as well, settling himself beside Badgermoon to watch eagerly.
There's hardly time to process before Scorchstreak is off, launching herself at Bluepool, and Bluepool is repaying the favor in kind, the two mollies darting one way and then the next. They're both so fast it's hard for Luckykit to keep up, and for a moment he wonders if either of the battles WindClan had lost would have ended up different if the pair had been there to fight as well. So focused on the spar, he startles at Badgermoon's voice, quiet as it is, his shoulders lifting in surprise as he swings his head up to face Badgermoon. Even if it feels obvious after spoken, it does prompt him to watch a little more closely, really studying Scorchstreak's movements. It's a little like digging, he thinks - everything must be done with intention and precision, only in a fight it's not you and the earth, but you and another living, breathing opponent that's also employing a similar strategy. No time to second-guess or slow down to examine your options; even in this spar, where there's no real risk of harm, it feels too fast to keep up with.
Nearby, Rattleheart and Lizardbounce show their support by cheering Scorchstreak on, both calling out encouragement, and even Spiderbloom appears to offer her support (though, to which of the combatants Luckykit has no idea). He considers them for a moment - Bluepool is a fierce warrior, he knows, having earned her position as a lead warrior, and while she certainly seems a strong representative of the Clan, in his eyes, Scorchstreak wins out every time. In another scenario, he might have found himself cheering for Bluepool, but instead he follows after his uncles, calling out, "Go mom! You got this!" Two forces to be reckoned with, certainly, though of course he expects nothing short of victory from Scorchstreak, having no idea of the difference in battle training between the two of them.
