In a desperate attempt to not get caught underneath Thistlepaw, who would surely arrive in a moment or two, she rolled over as far as she could, unbreathing. |
A tense moment between them transpired, each waiting for the other to strike. When Ambercloud lunged forward, Thistlepaw did the same, only to stop himself at once as Ambercloud felt forward hard and flailed to get to her feet, looking winded and frantic. The little grey tom stood over his clanmate and raised an eybrow as he looked at he grass clump that had sent the usually graceful shecat sprawling. "Sneaky grass," the young tom droned sarcastically, sitting on his haunches as he waited patiently for his mentor to recover herself, not attempting to hide his smirk of amusement. "In your defense, it came out of no where. It's like it sprang out of the ground of something."
