While Sophie enjoyed training both of her daughters together, there was something special about having one on one time with each of them. She loved the differences that her kits developed as she aged, and observing them both together and seperately allowed her to gague which one would make a better matriarch when the time came. Today she would be training alone with Sylvia, her tabby daughter.
They'd already eaten their fill, sharing a squirrel that morning before setting out into the forest. Sophie hadn't wanted her daughter to be distracted by an empty stomach after all. She found that a cat learned best when they were able to put all of their attention on one thing. Today that one thing would be learning how to handle your colony. "I'm going to teach you about relationships today. And no, not the nuzzley, googley-eyed kind. Don't give me that look." Sophie winked as they walked to the shimmering pool.
As they approached the sparkling waters, Sophie looked down into the stony pond. "Do you see these pebbles, Sylvia?" she asked, picking a small red pebble out of the water with a delicate paw. She held it up for Sylvia to see, and it shimmered in the light. "Each pebble has been smoothed by the waters of experience. They are all something unique on their own, but together they create something beautiful."
