leapords 5

Topic: I’ll tell you whats really super…
“Super,” Mimicfur the Camouflaged said, without enthusiasm. “So it’s either I teach you, a traitor, the arts of disappearing, or you kill me.”
“Yes,” I lied. He sighed.
“There are three rules that I’ve made that when followed, always work. One, stand still, even if they look away from you, or if it seems they’ve seen you. Two, try to keep your eyes looking away from searchers. Three, always dust yourself to match your environment, to help conceal yourself.” I let him fly off, and watched as a patrol came by. I stood stock still and they passed.
“Thanks,” I muttered under my breath to no one in particular.

leapords 4

Topic: don’t try try try, do do do
“I’m trying, I’m trying!” Lashtail wailed. Her tutor, a leapord named Ruffledfur was teaching her and some other new trainee warriors how to battle in the air. I couldn’t dare snicker, but I almost did. On my own, I had to swiftly learn how when I was first exiled and had to fight off some senior warriors to make a quick escape.
“Well, don’t just try try try, do do do!” he sighed in exasperation. I had watched as everyone mastered the skill, and she was taking twice as long to do so. I desperately wished that she never got it right, but eventually she did did did. And soon she was almost where I was. Oh, well.
