Sunheart watched her kits run around playing with Darkit. Hawkfur had joined the Clan just a few days ago and some cats were beginning to warm up to him, but some like Dustpelt and Cloudtail still didn't trust him.
"Sunheart," Bramblestar came over and sat beside her.
"Hi Bramblestar. I didn't see you coming over," Sunheart greeted.
"The kits are doing well I hope?" Bramblestar asked.
"They're doing great," Sunheart assured him.
Bramblestar nodded with approval. "I have a favor to as you. Would you mind teaching Hawkfur our battle style?"
"I wouldn't mind but what about my kits?" Sunheart fretted.
"I'll watch them. I miss when Lionblaze and Jayfeather were kits anyway," Bramblestar replied.
Sunheart smiled. "Firekit! Swiftkit! Darkit!" she called. The three kits ran over to her.
"Yes mother?" Swiftkit mewed.
"I'm going out for a little while with your father. While I'm gone I need you to behave for Bramblestar," Sunheart ordered. "Don't give him a hard time, ok?"
"Ok mom," Firekit agreed.
"We'll be good!" Darkit added.
"I'll be back soon," Sunheart assured them as she padded away, leaving the kits with Bramblestar. She found Hawkfur sitting with Bumblestripe outside the warriors' den. "Hawkfur!"
Hawkfur smiled when he saw his mate coming over to him. "Sunheart!" he purred.
"Bramblestar asked me to teach you some ThunderClan battle tactics," Sunheart meowed. Hawkfur nodded and dipped his head in farewell to Bumblestripe before following Sunheart out of camp. Sunheart took him to the training clearing and they trained for awhile until Hawkfur could do most of their moves. He learned quite fast.
"I think that'll be good," Sunheart decided. "You learn fast."
"I have to if I'm going to become a true member of ThunderClan," Hawkfur meowed.
"You're already a true member in my eyes," Sunheart purred as she nuzzled him.
Hawkfur purred. "And you're the sweetest warrior in the whole world."
