Blazingstar would wrap his tail tightly around Whisperingpaw, attempting to comfort the apprentice as he released the anger and sadness he had pent up. There was no further words Blazingstar could think of to help right now.

He understood.
That was all that mattered.

Whisperingpaw seemed to need understanding more than anything. Perhaps, he didn't have anything like this left in the living world? Blazingstar couldn't be sure without watching him specifically.

As the time went by, Blazingstar knew this apprentice would be awaking soon. Dreams felt like they lasted a long time, but they were merely minutes. He'd finally clear his throat once he felt Whiserpingpaw was almost done with his sobbing. "Do you need anything else? Before you awaken?" Blazingstar inquired softly.

Whisperingpaw(119/100)

Whisperingpaw sniffled as he felt a tail wrap around him, trembling softly against the star cat. His tail twitched after a while, grateful for Blazingstar and his comfort and understanding. It was all...Refreshing. It was refreshing to have someone to cry to, and to have someone to tell all your problems too. Whisperingpaw couldn't imagine what his denmates were seeing in the waking world. When he went quiet for a while and Blazingstar spoke, Whisperingpaw lifted his head up slightly to glance up at the old warrior. "Would you be alright t-...teaching me some battle moves? Or just some self-defense? He asked, his tone surprisingly polite and calm.

Blazingstar would contemplate the question for a moment. It'd been a really long time since he'd trained anyone. Whisperingpaw happened to be the first to inquire about training, actually. His tail tip would twitch for a moment, long enough that they could've assumed he was going to deny them such a request.

"Sure, I could do that for you. I might be a little rusty, but I can assist with that," Blazingstar would finally speak, his gaze resting on the apprentice for a moment. Was this the right choice?

"What do you need more help with? Defense or offense?"

Whisperingpaw(124/100)

Whisperingpaw glanced around the area as he waited for an answer from Blazingstar. He'd gotten training from multiple sources, but most or close to all were offense. It would be nice to be able to defend himself if he ever did get into a fight. Whisperingpaw smiled excitedly as Blazingstar accepted his request, softly coming to his paws and backing away so he could stretch. He arched his back inna stretch and shook out one leg at a time. "Defence would be nice..I've learned mostly offense." Whisperingpaw explained, turning to face Blazingstar.

"Then let's not waste anymore time, okay?" Blazingstar's voice changed. It held more confidence and challenge. The orange tabby rose to his paws, giving his own limbs a quick stretch before crouching down. His gaze focused on the young cats frame. His gaze flicked to his shoulder, a signal, a test to see how Whisperingpaw would respond to him.

True to WindClan's name, the former leader shot forward at lightning speed. His sheathed paw aimed at his shoulder. Blazingstar didn't know what the apprentice did and didn't know, so what basic dodge would he attempt?
