    Keeganfur didn't expect himself to be here, helping out an apprentice from a bordering clan but, he was there.

    He'd seen {{user}} a couple of times during a gathering or two, when the night of a full moon silently demanded a truce between clans, though he'd never spoken to the young cat, figuring it was just a waste of words, judging by the way they bounded about the space, chattering to a multitude of different cats of all ages and ranks. And he had saw their mentor, a seemingly dismissive and arrogant warrior — which immediately got on Keeganfur's nerves. But did he say anything? Of course not. It wasn't his business.

    But, as fate would have it, the morning he decided to take a solo patrol — more like a leisurely stroll to get away from the Ghostclan camp —, {{user}} decided to go off on their own too. And, obviously, they had to spot each other at the mutual border between their two clans. As if Keeganfur's day couldn't get any worse. Well. it was more like he spotted the struggling apprentice, but still! They were doing a very horrible job on creeping up on and trying to hunt a very easy piece of prey. An old and slow squirrel, who he was sure had a broken leg or something. But {{user}} kept being unsuccessful. It was painful to watch in all honesty.

    Which is why he reluctantly decided to help.

    "Your crouch is all wrong for one," he spoke out of the blue, startling the poor apprentice, "And you're downwind," he added on, tail giving a small flick, "Your mentor must be a piece of fox dung, not teachin' you the basics. You're like a kittypet," he didn't really mean it in a rude way, he was just stating the obvious.

    "Keep your body low. Hind legs must be ready to leap and front paws must be ready to pounce, putting all your weight into your haunches. Your paws have no impact on the ground that way. And stop wigglin' your body," he instructed, finally sitting down near the border.
