Am I correct?" he asked, hoping they would get out of this position soon, his legs were beginning to shake. He stayed like that for a few more minutes before sitting himself back up and looking at his mentor, cocking his head to the side "I'm sorry it's rude of me to say this but...um....are you alright?" he asked, his blue orbs glistened with worry, he felt bad for just pausing his training but he needed to know if his mentor was okay, the ginger warrior was a little out of it today, and he just wanted to know why. The young tom dropped his gaze down to the floor, shuffling his paws in embrassment 'Of course he's alright! He's a warrior.' he thought to himself annoyed with his question, but he didn't take it back, he needed to hear it from the other tom, just to conclude his stupid question.

Mapledash's head tilted to the side in confusion. What did his apprentice mean by "are you alright?" exactly? Did he look weird? Did he act strangely?
"What? What do you mean? I'm fine Jaypaw ... why do you ask?" Maybe his apprentice realised his moments of absence, when mapledash was not here, but elsewhere, with some other cats in some other time, when everything went wrong and they were on a duty for starclan. Maybe he noticed that he was lunatic for some times.
And just as he thought that, he did it again, he quickly focused his gaze on his apprentice again, blinking a few times to breach back to the present.
"Well, I've been a bit troubled, but that's no big deal. It's because of what happened recently with the leaders, and the discovery of skyclan. I thought I could pay them a visit and I could talk with grousestar again sometimes. he explained his apprentice, trying to hide the other part of his absences to him, and even himself subconsciously.
"No time to think about that now! I'm training you here, so let's stay focused as much as possible." he told his apprentice, getting on his four again.
"Now for the crouch, you should try to keep your tail still, otherwise prey will definitely see you comming. Get your balance with your paws instead, keep them wide, but aligned with your shoulders, this way you can keep balance even with your tail still. Then crouch a bit lower, use the grass to hide better." he listed the slight mistakes of his apprentice, but overall, he was doing pretty well.
