Singenight waited for the apprentice to clean his claws of the flowers, and gave him an annoyed look that he quickly discarded. "Alright then, this is a whole new set of information." He said. The tall cat backed up a step or two, putting some distance between them. He bunched his hind legs and pushed off the ground with his front paws. As he stood, his half tail waved wildly behind him. Due to his tail, this wasn't exactly his strongest fighting position, but had learned to cope somewhat, and his apprentice needed to know this. He stood there, wobbly on his legs, with barely any tail for support, he towered over the apprentice, and said. "Alright, when working on your hind legs, you must use balance. Balance is key for moves like this. Use your tail for balance. Keep it pressed against the ground. Let it act as a third leg for you. Give it a try." He said as he came down off his own back paws, landing all four firmly on the ground.

Once he had finished he turned his gaze to his mentor as he demonstrated what he had to do. He gave a small nod, "Alright." He said, excitement shining in his eyes. Ebonypaw pushed himself up onto his hind paws and as he tried to get his tail against the ground he fell back onto all fours. He let a small growl escape as he pushed himself up again and pressed his tail against the ground. As he started to wobble he dropped back down, giving a frown. The apprentice shook his head and glanced over at Singenight, suppressing another growl as he forced himself back onto his back legs. He rested his tail on the ground, wobbling slightly but he found his balance. As the tom shifted his tail slightly he dropped back down but gave a small smile this time.

Singenight watched and observed the apprentice, and once he fell the first and second time, he raised his small tail in a reminder. "Do not let your self be hindered. What you have others don't, but that should mean for you that it is easier. I survive with only a part of my tail, but I learn to not need it. Try harder." He said in a provoking tone, aiming to ppush him into perfection of the move. Then once Ebonypaw was able to hold himself up for a moment, Singenight nodded approvingly. "Good, now you must keep practicing that. You still have room for improvement. For now we will leave that there, but next time I expect better of you. Next time we will work on fighting on hid legs. For now though I need to know more of what you know." He said taking a small pause. "Fight me, claws sheathed." He said, lowering his head and spreading his limbs, a battle stance.

Ebonypaw nodded, "I'll do better next time Singenight." He told him, his gaze filled with confidence. When the Savannah had crouched his eyes narrowed, sheathing his claws as he crouched as well, doing his best to copy his metor's battle stance. The tom pulled his front paws under his shoulders, wiggling his haunches as he prepared to pounced. His tail lashed behind him as he lunged forward, aiming for the tom's chest.

A sleek furred she cat slipped out from the Warriors den, her shoulders flexing with each step and her paws dragging in the dust of the clearing. Her silvery blue optics reached the far end of the clearing and she took a second to breathe in the fresh air while feeling the sun on her skin.

Silverfawn shook her fur and trotted towards the fresh kill pile her cranium level with her back. A nice rabbit was on her mind and nothing else. If there happened to be no rabbits, perhaps she would go off and hunt for herself as well as the clan. For a second it seemed like a good plan, but maybe a big plump rabbit was meant for the elders or the queens.

Silverfawn frowned slightly feeling a kiss of breath air under her belly ruffling her fur and creating a level of discomfort. She snorted and shook her pelt to shake the sleep out. She continued towards the freh kill pile which seemed to be decreasing in size as she approached.

She came upon the freshkill and looked between the dead rodents and thrush. disapointed silverfawn took a second to notice how much the clan needed fresh kill right about now. Perfect. Now I will have to go hunting. Silverfawn took a pace backwards and sat down.

Licking a paw and gently rubbing it over her ears she began to groom. With none to share tounges with she decided she might as well look good for hunting.

"Dovepaw, I went through weeks of carrying you around inside of me. And spent twenty minutes giving birth to you." Featherheart mewed. "Did Dovecloud do that? No, no she did not." The queen purred. She fluffed up her fur, and coughed. "A-anyway, I need you to keep a eye on Kinkkit and Flickerkit until I get better." She mewed. Featherheart coughed again,"You don't have to sleep next to them, just make sure they stay in camp." She sighed, looking off to the side. "I'm sorry Doveki- Dovepaw"

Hawkcry stretched out in the sun, her eyes closed as she gave a soft purr. The she-cat rolled onto her back and continued to purr as the sunlight warmed her belly fur.

He turned towards the nursery entrance, he couldn't see the outside world but he sure could smell the freshness of it. Mewling the black and white striped kit started to stumble towards the entrance. Every moment he got closer to it Wildkit could feel the cool brush of wind and the nursery warmth and scent fading very slightly.

Dovecloud spotted wildkit and purred "wildkit, come back here, you can't go out yet, maybe a little when your littermates are ready." She said, her tail flicking back and fourth as her green eyes focoused on her kit "already quite the adventurer." She laughed as she tried to beckon the stripped kit back twords her.

"Thanks Dovecloud." Falconkit said. She went and laid back back down beside Woodpeckerkit.

Dovepaw was sort of offended at his mom's comment on Dovecloud, but he didn't show it. "I can look after the two of them for a while, sure. And for a while I won't kill you for tiny name mistakes and so." he chuckled. Dovepaw was worried that his Mom was sick. "Also, make sure to see Surgestorm at least weekly, if not daily." The white cat walked up to his mom and snuggled her. Featherheart is great!(Okay I just realized I have been saying Dovekit.)
