Frost surveyed silently, not moving from her place sitting a few mouse lengths from shimmer. She frowned slightly at her mother's words, when the smaller tom's scarred face caught her eye, she shudderedsloghtly, shock flashing across her eyes, but then her mother asked if the larger, apparently their father, if he would help teach them kill. She shook off the other cat's creepy appearance and looked at Touslepelt, then her mother and back again, eyes betraying her eager expectancy for a reply of what she hoped to be 'yes'. The tip of her tail twitched back and forth, that was quickly becoming her constant habit.

touslepelt noticed the small kit creeping towards him, and glanced down momentarily, before looking up again, but just enough time to reveal his voilent olive green eyes to the kit as they flashed in the glare of the sun. 'sounds good...' he meowed as he shifted stance with an air of nonchalance. 'who else would teach them? after all... 'seems a loner without any proper skills and drive to fight...would be quite....usless...' this may have sounded, like he were insulting the kits, or worse, shimmer... But at touslepelt's side, the smaller tom glowered, but his expression was partially obscured, as his face was still tipped sideways away from everyone.

So, you both are going to teach us? the mini-version in appearance, of shimmer, Frost stood, finally speaking up, but not daring to take a step closer, YOu and my mother i mean.

Shimmer looked Touslepelt in the eye, refusing to pay any attention to what may have been a hinted insult. "I would be teaching them, too, of course. My reasoning is as follows: Ice needs the attention of a large cat, one who fights with size and not as much speed. I cannot offer that alone. These kits have every end of the spectrum, however; Frost would be mostly learning from me. Luna should learn both ways and see which suits her best."
Ice's already large eyes widened. Would he really get to learn how to fight from this huge cat? Did his mother actually expect him to be that big? He hoped so. His light orbs showed his expectation and excitement, his readiness to fight. What did Touslepelt mean by 'No proper skill or drive to fight'? Ice had a drive to fight, that was for sure, and couldn't wait to learn proper skills!
Shimmer thought, and then said, "And perhaps they would like to watch some sort of fight without having to worry about their own safety. Claws would be used, but try to control them enough not to draw blood." She stuck the word control in there so that it would seem that Touslepelt would be at fault if he seriously injured her, sort of a challenge. Her blue eyes glittered eagerly; she had been avoiding fair fights since the kits were born and her whole body itched to take on a worthy opponent. Suddenly she relaxed her tense muscles and remarked: "Of course, if you'd rather not..." Her orbs had the slightest mocking expression in them, and she knew it. It made almost certain that the large tom would agree.

Frost plopped back down very ungracefully, eager to see if the huge tom would accept the challenge.

(ooc: OMG!! I"M SO SORRY!!!! MY COMPUTER WAS HAVING PROBLEMS! *SIGH* SORRY!)
Luna watched her father. She felt kind of intimidated by him. She gave a faint smile, moving slowly towards her mother. She sat down lightly and wrapped her tail around her small paws. She watched her father closely.

Shimmer, though her eyes trained on Touslepelt, watched every hint of movement that flickered at the edge of her unblinking gaze. All of her kits seemed to be sitting now, focused on their father. Shimmer briefly wondered what it would be like to have a father like Touslepelt, but her thoughts didn't rest on the idea. She didn't care to ponder here what could more easily be thought over in private.

The rexen tom smirked. my dear...as much as i would love to fight you, it still looks as though your kit bearing has taken its toll on you. the relationship the one-time-mates had for eachother was an odd one. though their exchange of 'time and energy' was a casual one, they-or touslepelt at least held some need to watch this she-cat; or to ...was protect too strong of a word? But, in exchange for his inability to display any sign of affection or care, he showed alot of indifference to everyone around him and even taunted those, he probably shouldnt.
The rex glanced at the red tom beside him briefly and meowed before adverting his eyes back towards the small crowd of cats 'But if you are so insistant on having a fight for display for your kits, there is still one cat here who i am sure does not belong here, we may yet find some use in her.' The toms blazing green eyes fell on aqua.

Shimmer half-smiled. Touslepelt reminded her of the coldhearted ways she used to kill, even though Aqua had saved her life. But the part of her flared at what she knew was barely –though somewhat– true: Having kits had weakened the loner, leaving her not quite a match for the leader of the rogue army. She thought for a second, then replied nonchalantly, "You've taken into account all of my little friends, who's yours?" Her voice was casual, but in it there was a current of revenge. Shimmer didn't want to be called weak; she was no such thing. Her eyes flitted to Aqua, a challenging stare, but then continued to wait for Touslepelt's response.
Ice could sense some sort of inner tension going on between his mother and father, but couldn't figure out what. The emotions that he could feel between them were too complex, too unknowably different, to explain. He looked at Aqua, somewhat suprised. He liked her. She was nice, and he didn't see how she didn't belong in these woods. Too young to understand the anger and dispute over territory, so didn't realize that Aqua –and Shimmer, for that matter– was somewhere she shouldn't be: Touslepelt's Glade.

Aqua's blue eyes were cold on Touslepelt. She caught Shimmer's glance returning her own stare to accept the challenge, then waited to ind out who the other tom was. Frost sat still, sensing the tension, but watching as intently non the less.

'Risk.' meowed the rex tersly my son. Touslepelt responded almost reluctantly
"Now, normally i would fight you myself, but it seems risk here has a bit of redeeming to do..."
the auburn rex turned suddenly and flashed touslepelt an angry glance, but remained silent 'and he just insults me! how dare he embarrasse me like this!' thought the young loner as he scraped his claws into the muck. 'i'll show him. i wont wimp out like last time...' he thought to himself bitterly as he remembered sorely, how he had refused to kill another cat under his fathers orders, and because of that, he earned his lashes across his face, and touslepelt ended up doing the deed himself...so truely, there was no other way around it for him. "fine" he growled as he faced aqua.

Luna moved closer to her mother. She tried not to show her fear towards the two older toms, but it was hard. She watch intently as the cats shared what she thought were harsh words toward each other. She watched the tom next to her father. She wanted to know what happened to his face, but she kept silent.

Shimmer, from the sidelines, explained what was happening to her kits: "Aqua will be fighting with Risk. Notice that Aqua is slightly larger, though they are not to differently build. This means that Risk will have to rely on talent and not size, whereas Aqua will have the starting advantage."
Shimmer had really wanted to fight Touslepelt herself, but she could deal with waiting. The kits would need to see multiple battles, anyway.

ooc:Umm, aqua is the size of a kit, not much bigger than Ice even though she's warrior age...she's kind of Tiny.
Aqua heard nothing other than the fact she would be fighting the smaller of the two rexes. She shot a final glare at touslepelt then turned to Risk. Her plumed tail twitched, as her carribean blue orbs stayed trained on the to's scarred face. She gave a slow smile.
Frost watched amused, both cats obviously were angry with plenty to prove. The kit smiled and nodded at her mother's relay of information, aqua was't bigger though. She wasn't much larger than her brother. The shadows were distorting her size. Frost chose to point this out Mother? The she-cat, aqua? The shadows are messing up her real size! She's scarecly larger than Ice.

Deathfire padded up with Rosekit in his jaws.He waited at the sidelines, waiting for his leader to adress him.
