A tabby elder paces the ground in front of a particularly large pine tree,
the base of which is covered in claw marks of different sizes. She glances
up often, shouting encouragements and directions. After a few moments,
you hear a triumphant yowl, and a young cat comes scrambling down the
tree with something clamped firmly in their mouth. The elder purrs loudly
at the young cat's reappearance.
"Well done! You're getting much better. Looks like you found something
useful while you were up there, too," she meows proudly, and the young
cat scampers off. Her gaze turns to you. "Welcome, stranger! I'm Quail-
fang. I'm the best climber around," she announces, raising her chin with
a proud smile.
"I can teach you, but you'll have to be patient. Maybe you'll
find something useful while you're up there, if you're lucky!"
