Soaringcrane smiled at her. "Im fine..." he whispered before pinning her down and using his forepaws to aim soft blows at her white belly fur, gently while putting all his weight on her. The ginger tom was kinda overweight so all of his belly weight was on her haunches which was probably making poor Crestpaw's hind legs ache. "Care to give up, Crestpaw like a kit or are you gonna fight like a real warrior?!" The ginger tom gazed into her eyes, adoringly. He knew for sure now that he would tell her if she beat him. IF she beat him. He gave his apprentice a cocky grin, leaving him open for an attack

Crestpaw felt tingly when Soarincrane whispered to her and pinned her. She gazed up at him, not really feeling the blows since he wasn't actually trying. The she-cat hissed at him and felt her legs go numb slightly, "Get off me you big log!" She growled, batting her petite paws at his face and chest. An odd emotion was clearly visible in Soaringcrane's eyes, one that had no place in a battle. "I'd never give up against you!" She hissed, hitting him harder with her paws. She shuffled her hind end, trying to dislodge his weight from her and reached out to bite anything near her face. Eventually, a memory of an earlier session came to mind and Crestpaw took a deep breath, closing her eyes and going limp. The theatrical molly even added a few whimpers to make it more realistic. As soon as Soaringcrane fell for her trick and released some of the pressure, Crestpaw planned to kick upward with all her might and send him flying across the clearing.

Soaringcrane relaxed as he watched Crestpaw go limp and give surrendering whimpers. "I win which means Im stronger!" He jovially announced. Unfortunately this means that youre still my apprentice!" Inside, Soaringcrane was rejoicing at the thought of having Crestpaw to himself for a little longer. He purred and stood up a little, happily. However, he was still on top of her, just standing up now. "Now say you give up, Crestpaw.." he whispered jn her ear.

" can i come?" said Rowankit. " No you your to small!" said Pinekit, wishing that, for once there mother would not make them play with their brother. " Pinekit! don't be mean to your brother! of cause you can play with them!" Featherpool snapped at the kits harshly. " But it's not fair! he always slows us down! he's so small!" Pinekit said. " I wish that for once Pinekit you would stop this! just because he's the smallest in the litter, does not mean you can exclude him from all the things you do!" Featherpool noticed then that Rowankit had gone to the corner and was whimpering. Pinekit felt a stab of guilt, Featherpool was right, he should be nicer. just for a while he would let Rowankit play with them. " I'm sorry Rowankit! you can play with us if you like?" Pinekit said halfheartedly. " really? YAY!!!! " came the reply. Rowankit burst out of the nursery and into the clearing . he left Featherpool thinking, was he faking it to get what he wanted? the thought was so funny, her kits were growing up already.

The tom was easily excitable, that much was clear, though he tried to keep himself in control. They would be battle training today, an important step in Windcrest’s training. It was a serious affair, yet Crowheart didn’t do serious very well. An elated grin lit up his face as he glanced over to her, his paws crunching in the drying grass with each step. The pale she cat wasn’t looking at him while she spoke and the tom frowned slightly, suddenly very aware of her meek behavior. Windcrest was often quiet, but not usually so closed off when it was just them two. They were the only ones on the moor and the quiet of the territory made it seem as though they were the only two in the entire forest. Crowheart quite liked that idea, though he had a sinking thought that he might end up annoying Windcrest. Although, he hadn’t managed to annoy her out of hanging out with him yet, as it seemed he was one of the few cats she enjoyed being with. “Course!” He chirped brightly, nudging her slightly with his shoulder, laughter glittering in his amber eyes. “Ya gotta learn sometime. Who better than to teach it than me: the greatest warrior in all the land.” Crowheart had puffed his chest out as he spoke, giving himself more credit than he ought to. He was a good warrior, of course, but he was far from the best. Not able to take himself seriously, Crowheart dissolved into delighted giggles that sounded more like a new apprentice than a seasoned warrior. “C’mon. You got nothing to worry about.” He flicked his tail at her shoulder before coming to a stop in the midst of a small clearing with matted down grass surrounding by taller stalks. Crowheart turned towards Windcrest with an encouraging smile.

Luckily for Crestpaw, she wasn't a hotheaded cat. Otherwise she may have given herself up by bursting out angrily at his exclamation. Instead, the calm, cool-headed apprentice simply let out another whimper to keep the act going. Panic clutched her heart at the thought of having failed her assessment, but she felt slightly relieved at the same time. Weird, she thought. Crestpaw forced herself not to tense up in anticipation as he loosened his grip. When Soarincrane leaned down to whisper in her ear, Crestpaw opened her eyes slightly, until they were narrow slits, and whispered back, "Never." As soon as the words left her mouth, Crestpaw thrust upwards with all of her might. Her back legs kicked up on his belly and her front legs on his chest.
