"There is a training simulation in the yard, if you'd like to watch."

That could be interesting. Kyungsoo nods. "Please."

A trainer in heavy leather parries attacks from a small, clawed cat, jabbing and dodging and finally knocking them onto their back. A whistle blows, and the cat is immediately on their feet, tail lashing with adrenaline. "Always keep your feet under you!" the trainer chastises. He waves towards himself. "Now, again."

This time, the cat remains on their feet the entire time, only falling to their knees when they knock the trainer onto their back to pin them and arch back with an arm raised.

The whistle blows, and the cat takes a few moments to stand again. Their claws remain out, relaxing only when the trainer claps and praises them. They leave the ring with flushed cheeks and hunched shoulders. Their tail weaves behind them, obviously pleased.

"Wow," Kyungsoo says. Cats aren’t as common or desirable as dogs, particularly in the royal family. The palace cats are pampered society companions. Kyungsoo gets along with most of them. He points to the cat, now sitting beneath a tree and drink from a waterskin. "Who is he?"
