    Vigilance had served Redscar well on many occasions, and today another such occasion would be added to that list. This level of heightened awareness was something that the deputy was incapable of 'turning off', even whilst residing in the relative safety of camp.

    While making the rounds through his clans' humble abode after completing his morning patrol Redscar couldn't help but notice a certain kit acting strangely. Lynxkit, who was the leaders' daughter no less, was skulking around the camp attempting to avoid the attention of her older clanmates. Obviously she was attempting to be sneaky, perhaps as part of a game, however Redscar wasn't so sure.

    Quickly engaging in his own counter espionage mission Redscar began to stalk Lynxkit, acting all the while as if he was tending to deputy business that was of little concern to her. Carefully he studied her every move, wondering exactly what the young she-cat was up to.

She was bored and tired of staying in camp. There was a big, wide world out there, and it was stupid to tell her that she couldn't go out because she was too 'little' and 'inexperienced.' She wanted out of this tiny camp and if nobody would take her, then she'd go by herself. She'd show all of them how well she could look after herself. She didn't need anyone to look out for her!

Slinking around the edges of the camp, Lynxkit avoided the gazes of the warriors and apprentices, ever-so-slowly edging toward the dirtplace. It was too obvious to slip out through the entrance, but nobody would be looking out for her where the cats went to make their dirt. She had to be careful, take it slow, and not make it too obvious that she was up to something.

So busy she was at trying to keep track of everything at once, Lynxkit never noticed that Redscar was keeping tabs on her. Reaching the low tunnel, the kit paused, taking a moment to oh-so-casually groom her paws before she made a smooth leap into the tunnel and out of sight. From there she abandoned all pretenses of subtlety and ran, darting out into the open grassland. Just wait until she told Tigerkit of the adventure she'd had!

A smooth paw hooked her back legs from beneath her and Lynxkit stumbled, rolling a few times before she came to a halt on her back, blinking owlishly at the deputy. Front paws tucked up to her chest as she scowled, irritated that her great outing was being cut short. "You warriors are no fun!" she accused, scrambling back to her feet and firing the hottest glare she could manage at the ginger tom. "So full of stupid rules! I'm not hurting anyone by going out!"

    Redscar was not at all surprised that Lynxkit felt indignant after he so deftly thwarted her formerly subtle plan of escape. The swift action was surely demoralizing for the young she-cat leaving the deputy with little desire to chastise her for her reckless behavior. As she spoke however Redscar quickly found his voice and reminded her "You were likely going to hurt yourself, and you are well aware that you are far from 'nobody' in Lightning clan."

    As Redscar herded Lynxkit back into the safety of camp he made a mental note to keep a close eye on the kit. She had nearly been successful and he was sure this wouldn't be her last attempt to flee the confines of her home. "It won't be long before you're set loose to terrorize our territory." Redscar informed her with a knowing chuckle before adding "Just something to keep in mind."

The deputy’s tail swept around his body now between her and any possible escape, and Lynxkit wasn’t fool enough to think she was fast enough- yet- to outrun him. Which meant she had no choice but to go with him, back to the camp, fuming over being spotted and fetched. She’d try again later.

“Of course I’m not nobody,” she sniffed, insulted that he’d even think such a thing- completely missing the point he’d been trying to make. “I’m going to be the best warrior LightningClan has ever seen, just you wait. The other Clans won’t know what hit them.” Strutting, head up and short tail sticking out, the kit sauntered back into the camp as though she and Redscar had been on a pleasant stroll instead of what she’d really been up to.

“It can’t come soon enough,” she replied, casting a glare around the camp as the two entered it again. “I can’t wait to see more than this every day. Hey! You talk to Firestar a lot. Has she mentioned who she’s going to assign as my mentor? I want to get to know them now, so that we can get right into training once I have my ceremony!”

Lynxkits' body language gave a clear indicator of her disposition as she was lead back into camp, Redscar could practically feel the waves of displeasure she seemed to be emitting. This was of little surprise to the deputy, she was clearly a strong willed cat like her mother, and neither would likely enjoy having their plans thwarted. Answering the question Lynxkit posed to him, Redscar replied "Firestar doesn't tend to discuss the assigning of mentors with me, our conversations are more focused on the well being of the clan." Wishing to try and reassure the kit he added, "However I am positive she has been thinking long and hard about who best mentor you, I am sure she knows that you will be quite the pawful." It would probably do little to please the kit, none of which seemed to be too interested in mere speculation, however it would have to be enough.
