Clubbing baby seals

Kite watched in fascination as the viper outlined where Kite should start. Careful to follow the line the snake had ‘drawn’ with her body, she began. Her sharp claws sliding easily into the pelt. It was keeping the cut straight that was the hard part. When she was done, the pattern was a little more zig-zagg then she would have liked. But not a bad start perhaps. Right?

She stood back to look at it, before giving her sister room. She pulled up her own seal and tried to replicate the cut again. Still a little wonky. She would need to learn precision with her paws. She frowned, determined to master the skill. If her claws could be used in this way, then she would learn how.

She turned back to Vanta to see her sister had already gotten a head start on the next task. Frowning, Kite looked back at her own and considered how to copy her sister's next lines. “It’s not as easy as it looks” she said, which was as close as she would get to complaining.
