Bigfang isn't sure how this happened, but it's happened. Kittens sit eagerly at his paws, their small ears perked up and big, round eyes stare into his. He doesn't know how to interact with kittens, never had and likely never would... But for ThunderClan's current bunch that looked at him now so curiously he would try. "So... you're already masters on that, eh?" He meows after a subject he had previously brought up was quickly dismissed, they already 'knew everything' about that one, apparently. "Well since you all know everything there is to know about ThunderClan, what about the other clans? ThunderClan is the best, of course... but its worth being knowledgeable about your enemies. You'll be big strong warriors soon and could use it against them one day in battle." Or as a petty remark to send across the border... He thinks amused as he gives the kits a playful wink.

"One of yah, pick a clan. Any clan. I'll tell you all you need to know about them."
  • //PAFP for @Scorchedkit !! but after that any KITS MAY POST IN THIS THREAD! other ranks can post if desired but please do your best to allow Bigfang to do most of the teaching. I find threads like these get muddled really fast when teachers end up outnumbering the learners. thanks!

A soft, airy giggle escaped the little molly's jaws as Bigfang surrendered, giving up on trying to teach a prior subject. "Yes," She began politely, lowering her haunches to take a seat. "Everyone knows warriors hunt to feed the clan and fight to protect our home." There was also the subject of patrols but that was a topic for another time. Her tail swings to blanket ebony paws as she sits straighter, ears pricking as the massive warrior proposes another subject—the remaining four clans. Scorchedkit's mismatched eyes stretch marginally wider. Any clan? This was the perfect opportunity to learn more about what awaited them outside the protective walls of their camp.

She was quiet for only a moment before her memory flickered back to her conversation with Falconheart after he returned from the big clan gathering. "What about Skyclan?" She piped up, lifting a paw to draw Bigfang's attention to herself. "Falconheart told me they had thirteen new warriors this moon. Are they a threat to Thunderclan?" The tortoiseshell asked while placing her paw on the ground again.

⊱⊰ Learning about anything, much less the ways of the forest’s other clans, is about as boring a subject as Hopekit could imagine. He doesn’t care about clans like ShadowClan or SkyClan. Why would he need to know about them anyway, when ThunderClan is the best clan there is? Bigfang seems intent on teaching them about something, though, since Hopekit had been amongst those who’d already known everything there is to know about ThunderClan. He’s really knowledgeable, actually; so is Scorchedkit, and the little lilac tom is glad that he isn’t the only one. Still, the next topic of discussion is no better, and the ginger warrior is leveled with an unimpressed stare as Scorchedkit asks to hear about SkyClan.

But… how does the tortoiseshell kit know so much about SmyClan already? Her big brother told her? That’s absurd, because Hopekit definitely didn’t think to ask any of his older siblings about what happens at gatherings. The other kit asks about SkyClan’s many, many new warriors, and lilac brows shoot upward with surprise. "Thirteen is… sooo many," he comments in a hushed voice, awe filling his voice. "Yeah, I wanna learn about SkyClan!"

'CAUSE SOMEWHERE DOWN THE BANK — Gentlestorm can't help but hear the chatter coming from the camp clearing as he walks through the entrance of his home, he had returned from an earlier herb patrol and hadn't found even if he's fortunate enough to have found some lungwort the other day. His ears prick forward noticing that Bigfang has a few kittens gathered as they begin to ask the large red tabby about the other clans and the pale tom recalls how Raccoonstripe had a similar lessons with his own nieces. Although, it had been about Stinkyclan and some other silly names that the temporary deputy had made up. A part of him doubts that Bigfang would teach in such a way so he decides to pad over with a warm smile offered in the direction of both kits "Hello Scorchedkit and Hopekit," A loud, friendly purr emitting from his throat only to settle down beside his nephew so that he may listen on the tabbied tom's teaching of the clans.

"Thirteen is quite a lot but I'm sure that we'll have a lot of our own young warriors to announce at the gathering when the time comes." Gentlestorm muses to both of the kittens knowing that there has been a lot of orphaned kits being dropped off on their borders and his dark golden gaze turns to Bigfang still wearing a warm grin on his maw, "Isn't that right, Bigfang?" The thought of Hopekit and Coalkit becoming warriors makes the sides of his mouth twitch in the slightest, he didn't want them to grow up so soon. He wished that they would still stay the size that they are and that Hopekit would continue to sneak into his den for small naps, his chest aches more knowing that it wouldn't be long until Bravepaw, Cardinalpaw, and Hazepaw are made warriors. His eyes becoming cloudy with sadness that lasts for a moment before vanishing as he turns his attention to Bigfang once more and nods in his direction ready to listen as well.

[ ༻ ☼ ༺ ] Fadingkit blinked a bit, having not been focusing at all until the words of Gentlestorm and Hopekit's reached her. Blue gaze glancing between the group while a hum came from her "thirteen...a lot of young warriors..." she tilted her head a bit, it wouldn't be a while until she'd be made an apprentice, 3 moons still to go before she too could become a 'paw which made a frown appear on her lips, it felt a long of a wait but, she still had her friends she could talk to while she waited.

Blinking once more she looked over up to Bigfang. "Skyclan...what do they do?" she wondered, they only heard what they knew from the warriors, saying they allow kitty-pets amongst their ranks, so could they truly be a threat to Thunderclan if they allow cats who live with two-legs into their camp? "It wouldn't be a while until we're warriors, right Mister Gentlestorm, and Mister Bigfang?" she asked innocently, not realizing how fast time could fly within these next months and so, before she knew it, she'll be an apprentice, she'll have a mentor...learning to be a warrior just like her denmates and siblings.

. ° ✦ A tentative form of the apprentice drew near at the sight of Bigfang having so many kittens around him. For a moment he wondered if they were all about to ambush the hulking warrior in some group effort to take him down, but this seemed much calmer than his assumptions. A lesson on the Clans, with Scorchedkit choosing SkyClan as the subject!

Seeing that Gentlestorm had placed himself beside his brother he didn't get any closer. This was meant for the kittens, after all, and so he simply observed while in sight of his younger sibling. The ginger tabby had a pawful of questions already, and he tucked his tail over his paws to listen a bit more.

    A Longhaired chocolate tabby with a white locket and deep blue eyes. Very thick coat that has started to grow into long, wispy curls. Developing into an awkward stage of kitten uglies as the rest of his body grows and changes. Severe scars from owl talons stretch across his shoulders and another that starts from his back down his left thigh.
 
⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊ Dwindlingkit was barely paying attention to the chitchat of the cats near by. Consumed in her own little world, chewing and scratching at a mossball. Tufted ears twisted back over to the group at the soft sound of Fadingkit's voice. Suddenly becoming overly interested, she stopped messing with it and patted her way over to the others. Taking a seat next to her sister,Dwindlingkit was able to catch the tail end of their conversation. It’s a good thing she had no problem voicing her opinions, even though she had limited knowledge about the other clans.

"Hmph, so Skyclan has a lot of new warriors; Thunderclan has better warriors." Dwindlingkit grumbled. Thirteen Warriors is a lot of cats, if it was a good or bad thing she couldn’t tell. She furrowed her cream brows hardly believing that any clan was better than her own. Even if it’s just in numbers.

Big blue eyes drifted over to the warrior stuck in the middle of kit curiosity. Perhaps he had the answers to her questions. "Bigfang, is Skyclan the biggest clan? When we become warriors do we become the biggest clan?”

This lesson isn't for him, yet the tom nears and settles in beside Bravepaw regardless. He calls it curiosity, even though he knows too well that it's instead laziness that spurs him. Mousenose will scruff him and drag him out for another unsuccessful hunt soon enough... but until then, he can sit tight and listen on as Bigfang teaches the littles lessons about their borders and whatever goes beyond them.

He bumps his shoulder briefly into Bravepaw's as a greeting, but says nothing as the other tom had remained silent too. He chuckles as Dwindlingkit enforces that ThunderClan has better warriors. He wonders if the same could be said whenever Howlingstar and Mousenose decide that he can be made into the higher rank. His heart sinks, but he listens regardless of his inner turmoil.​
 
Learning about the other clans interested Deerkit… sometimes. It was cool that there were other clans besides Thunderclan. Shadowclan sounds like a cool place to live in.. besides the frogs they ate every day. Yuck. Sitting beside Fadingkit, slowly blinking as he perks his ears up at Bigfang telling him and his denmates about the other clans. "Thirteen i-is a-alot..." He mumbles, as he presses his tail closer to his dark paws. He flicks an ear over at Hopekit, as the other asks about Skyclan. He tilts his head to the side slightly, while he thinks to himself. Does.. Skyclan look up towards the sky or....?

"Yeah, W-what does.. S-skyclan do Mister B-bigfang?" He nervously speaks, nodding his head at Fadingkit’s same question about what their neighbors do. He’d only known that they accept Kittypets in their ranks, from eavesdropping on the adults. Warriors talk too much.
