The warrior slowed before Stempaw collided into him, the force powering them both backwards. Talonstone unsheathed his claws, moons of being tossed left and right guaranteeing that he caught his balance before any more attacks were thrown around. With the fresh-kill pile still his target, the frosty feline brought his paw—claws sheathed once more—in a swiping motion against whatever of Stempaw he could reach. Then, he fell back, attempting to slip past the apprentice while she responded to his previous attack.

Stempaw growled as he almost knocked her off balance swiping at one of her paws. But thankfully she quickly caught her balance and launched herself in the air in attempt to drop her entire weight onto the tom while he was trying to slip past her.

The frosty feline waited, feigning ignorance while the two apprentices talked to each other. He noticed Smokepaw nod and took that as a sign that the other shadowdwellers were done conversing. "Ready?" Talonstone inquired. "You do not need permission before launching your first attack."

He felt the air behind him shift, and the large tom put on a burst of speed, hoping to escape the apprentice's range. One couldn't change direction once in the air, after all. If he'd been mock fighting rather than causing intentional damage, he would've simply rolled onto his back and stretched out his legs with claws unsheathed… but this was only training, and Talonstone really didn't feel like impaling a future warrior.
