"Oh, well that was a long story." Cloud said, chuckling a little. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He had an idea. "Hey Chester, how about if I teach you some of the things that I know?" he asked. He wasn't so sure that the kittypet would accept. He had food, shelter, and twolegs that cared for him. What more could a cat ask for? But Cloud wanted to have a friend. For almost his whole life, he had lived by himself. "I know you wouldn't want to come, but could you think about it first?" he asked. [/color][/center]

Chester's eyes grew bright, even though they were already so in the daylight that now came streaming through the breaking clouds. "That would be awesome! I never really had a teacher before!" The kittypet often got bored when sitting alone at the twoleg dwelling, and his twolegs might miss him for a while, but he would come back to visit. The tom took another bite of the squirrel and swallowed, not wanting it to go to waste. He pushed it towards Cloud, offering him some. [/color][/center]

Cloud shook his head. "No thanks. We could go hunt first." he suggested, his eyes gleaming with happyness. He didn't think that Chester would accept so quickly. "Come on, follow me." he said, already getting up. He walked towards the dense forest not far from him. "Maybe we'll find something less furry in here. No offence though. That was a nice catch" he said, flicking his tail at the squirrel.

Chester nodded, knowing that the squirrel wasn't exactly the best thing to eat when hungry. Taking the last few gulps of the scrawny catch, he buried the bones hurriedly, barely doing a good enough job to keep it out of the reach of scavengers. He had always wanted to go and explore, but being quite unexperienced at survival, had always returned to his twolegs. Casting one last glance towards his twoleg dwelling, he silently vowed to return someday. Looking back to Cloud he nodded.
And as the sunlight spilled over the rolling landscape in the distance, Chester was suddenly aware that it was indeed a beautiful day. [/size][/color]

The air felt damp and moist after the rain. Most of the prey would probably be hiding. "Okay. Since you already know how to hunt, then lets start with some battle training. In case you get into any trouble." Cloud said when they finally reached the forest. He could feel his heart pounding fast and hard against his rib cage. "Try attacking me." he said. [/center][/size]

Chester grinned, nodding to show that he understood. His tail lashed for a moment, before he just decided to do what came naturally, and raced headfirst towards Cloud. His claws were sheathed, and he leaped at him head on. Unfortunately, this move was hasty and quite foolish. Hope soared in his heart, feeling that he was an okay fighter. But stark realization wound soon hit him like a bullet. [/size][/color]

Cloud took a step to the side and allowed Chester to run past him. "It's okay. That was a nice try." he said, trying to comfort Chester. "Next time, try to think what your enemy will do. Think like your enemy. For example, if I were to attack you, I have to think about what you will do to try and counter the attack, and then think of something to do about it." he said. "Try it again."he said in a calm voice.
OOC: wow that stuff just popped into my head xD [/color][/center]

ooc- I can just picture you being an awesome mentor
ic- Chester only looked crestfallen for a moment when Cloud so easily dodged him. His face screwed up in concentration and he thought, 'Ok, so maybe that wasn't the smartest move. Think....' His eyes were dull as he thought, and finally, without warning, he ran towards Cloud exactly as he had before. Well, not exactly. He was expecting to catch Cloud off gaurd. He was lighter on his paws, and ready to change direction or stop if needed. So because he was light on his paws, he was going a bit slower than a heavy weight charge, but he was more prepared for the transitions of battle. [/size][/color]

OOC: Well, I can just picture myself as the worst mentor ever and the biggest lozer in the world xD
IC:This time, Cloud stood his ground, because he thought that Chester though(xD) he would move either to the left or the right. He felt the breath knocked out of him as the kittypet hit him. He went sprawling in the leaf-covered ground. "Nice job." he meowed, getting up and shaking the leaves off his pelt. "We've got the thinking covered, so now, lets try the strength. Attack me again." he said, standing up with his paws firm on the ground. [/size]

ooc- so not true xD
ic- Chester was somewhat surprised that he'd actually made contant with the tom. He smiled proudly, but then looked a bit worried when Cloud spoke of the strength. Being somewhat heavyset (especially near the belly, if you catch my drift) he knew he'd have no problem with strength. Controlling it, however, would be a different challenge alltogether.
The kittypet reared up on his hindlegs, flailing them as a horse would his front hooves. He met with Cloud, his tail sticking straight out behind him as he tried to concentrate his weight forward. Unfortunately, this was also a somewhat foolish move, although better planned than his charge. He should have learned by now to stay quick on his feet and ready to shift position but...

Cloud stepped to the side again and shook his head. "What did I just say about planning? Lets try it again." he meowed. he padded back to the place he was standing on just moments ago. "Try again." he said. He eyed Chester carefully. He had done better than Cloud expected from a kittypet. [/size][/center]

Chester landed back on all fours again, barely catching himself before his face was planted in the dirt. He felt frustration well up in him. He flattened his rising neck fur though, knowing that letting his feelings get the best of him would only cloud his logic. His eyes zeroed in on every movement Cloud was making. Good, he was turned exactly facing him to avoid a hit from in front. Chester stood for a moment, apparently thinking, and then he leaped into action again.
The ginger tom was a blur, thundering in a wide circle around Cloud. Then he veered from his arc with head low and kept his charge going towards his new mentor. His eyes were locked on the stormy tom, so that if he moved or dodged he would be able to rain a blow with a forepaw, because stopping would be out of the question at this speed. But it was doubtful that he would be able to move anyways, unless he had great reflexes. [/color][/center]

Cloud stayed where he was. He ran to his right at the last possible moment, although Chester's paw still made contact with him. He skidded to halt and looked back at Chester with a smile. "Nice job. Now we've got that covered. Now for defence. My turn to attack you. Try to defend yourself." he said before charging at Chester, kicking up leaves behind him.

Chester was quite surprised at the sudden change, but was surprisingly quick to react. Absorbing Cloud's impact, he rolled onto his back and battered his stomach with his hidpaws. His forepaws were drawn up close to his belly to protect it, and he gave a last push upwards with his hind feet, throwing the tom backwards as he scrambled to his paws and pelted a few steps away, turning back to look at his mentor with bright eyes, awaiting action.
ooc- my cat (Chester) is sitting right next to me as I'm writing this xD lol. I tried to think of what he'd do in this situation. ha [/color][/center]

"Nice. Better than I would have expected." Cloud said, standing up. "Ok, thats enough for today. Lets get some food, then I'll go show you where I live." he said, before starting to look for prey. "Look, there's a mouse over there." he whispered, flicking his tail at a plump mouse munching on a seed. "Try catching it." he said. [/center]
