Two answers... well, that was better than nothing. Bravebird grinned at both of the apprentices as they joined her in the clearing. "Hello, Rabbitpaw. Nice to meet you," she replied with a forced grin. This was one of the newer apprentices if she recalled correctly, named during... She blinked, dismissing the thought from her mind as she glanced at Dovepaw as well. "We'll start with a quick run to wipe away the sleepiness, and then we can work on some fighting moves. Sound good?" Starting with fighting would be good. It would be a way for her to do what she loved to do most and prepare these kids for what was to come.

Without much else said the lilac warrior turned and headed out of camp, only breaking into a sprint once she had left the clearing. Since they had moved to the cliff that she and Fernpaw had found all those seasons ago, Bravebird had made it a habit of racing out of camp and down the slope. It gave her momentum, and for a brief moment as she felt the wind tangle its fingers through her fur, it made her forget her worries. It was just her, and the moors, and the wind...

She didn't go full speed though, and occasionally glanced over her shoulder to make sure Dovepaw and Rabbitpaw were keeping up. They were coming up on the small patch of woodland - Sunset Grove, she recalled, and Bravebird slowed a bit and turned, glancing at both of the 'paws with her. There were no sign of the minks thankfully, but she kept an eye out for porcupines. Stars... did not want to go through that again. "How're you both feeling? Awake and ready for some training?" Of course, she'd let them catch their breath first; endurance to the level she had required consistent training, and for apprentices not used to that yet it would take a bit of time to acclimate to.

[ hope it was okay to combine these two! that way brave can also teach partner fighting too! ]

Rabbitpaw
He/him | WC Apprentice Tunneler | Moons: 6 | Purrks: none | Part Manx cat

Rabbitpaw was happy that Bravebird had allowed him to join her and Dovepaw for training, he had a lot to learn if he wanted to be ready to protect Windclan from Riverclan and minks! The warrior started with bringing them on a run through the territory which was amazing, it was the first time that Rabbitpaw really got to just run!!! Not confined by the walls of camp or having to stay with the group. It was the first time he really felt the winds of their territory and it was the moment that really felt like Rabbitpaw was Windclan, that he was one with the wind and the territory! He was Rabbitpaw of Windclan and he was going to be the best apprentice and warrior that he could be for his clan. Starting with this training, even though he was already planning so many trainings and had a spar with Lightningpaw. Eventually, Bravebird slowed to a stop and Rabbitpaw halted as well, gasping for air now that he realized just how much his lungs had lagged compared to his legs.

They were now in a woodland, Rabbitpaw hadn't been given any tours yet so he didn't know what it was called, he made a note to ask Crowtooth or someone else for a territory tour soon. His green eyes lifted from the terrain to the warrior as she spoke again. The blonde apprentice heaved one more big breath, held it for a moment in his burning lungs, before exhaling and lifting up. "More than ready! Will we be running back to camp too?" The little tom tried not to be too excited at the thought of another run but he couldn't help it, that was so much fun. He couldn't help but be anxious. He didn't know if they were near any borders or near where any mink sightings have been but he trusted that Bravebird wouldn't have led them to a dangerous spot. He pointedly squashed down the flashes of the meeting that showed behind his eye lids every time he blinks as he thought of borders, or more so, the Riverclan border. Everything was okay, just focus.

Rabbitpaw turned his attention to the apprentice that was also here, Dovepaw. The blonde apprentice hasn't been able to meet many of his fellow apprentices yet, mostly just Lightningpaw, and that was it. "My name is Rabbitpaw, I am happy to be able to train with you!" The tom gave to the other apprentice in greeting, tilting his head slightly as he awaited to be given a greeting or introduction back from Dovepaw.
