As Greenpaw fell into the sand, he laughed. "Much better!" He started to pad a bit away from Greenpaw and towards camp, "Come on, lets go back to camp. I think we've done enough training for the day."

Eveningpaw’s blow landed while Grizzlybug was sliding away, but he kept going. The fluffy tom ignored the residual feeling of paws slamming on his back and made another move for Eveningpaw, charging straight at her and not turning away in order to make the apprentice move out of the way. Once she did, his plan was to skid to the side and slam into her.

When Eveningpaw ducked rather than moving out of the way, Grizzlybug was forced to leap over her to avoid tripping over her and sprawling into the dust. The maneuver ruined his plan but allowed him to hold out a paw as he leapt, intending to rake his paw down her back- a maneuver that would hurt far more in a real claws-out border.

(grizz has his claws sheathed since it’s still training ^^)
Grizzlybug felt paws land on his back and his legs nearly buckled but he managed to stay upright. The fluffy tom began to buck in an effort to unbalance Eveningpaw and force her off of his back.
