Larkpaw nodded. He sprang again, this time locking his eyes on the mark. Landing on all four paws like Tallfern said, he pushed back and landed with a small skid. His green eyes, stormy as ever, linked with his mentor's expectantly. @Larkstripe

Tallfern brightened with enthusiasm, “Perfect!” She exclaimed, impressed with how quickly the young cat had improved his technique. She padded over to the mark and stood in front of it, “Try it again, but this time when you land, come onto your hind paws and try to deliver a few blows as if I were your enemy—claws sheathed of course, before jumping back.”

Blackforest waited at the training cliffs for Quailpaw to show up. The black and white tom just got there. He shouldn't be long now, he thought.

Re: ShadowClan Training Cliffs
 

Emerging from the edge of the forest, the mottled tortie padded up to his mentor, giving him a gruff dip of his head. "Hello, Blackforest. What will we be working on today?" His gravelly voice was quiet, but ears perked with enthusiasm. He couldn't wait to begin training.

"Quailpaw," Blackforest meowed in greetings. "I was thinking we could work on battle training. I wanted to show you two easy moves I think you could learn quickly. Back Kick and Belly Rake." He paused. "I'll show you Back Kick first, then you can do it," he meowed while standing up straight. "Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, then lash out with your back legs, taking all weight on your front paws," he said while showing Quailpaw. "Got it? I'll show you again if you need me to."

"I've got it," said Quailpaw, studying his mentor's slash intently. "Should I try it on you?"

Re: ShadowClan Training Cliffs
 

Larkpaw jumped to the mark, rearing up on his hind paws. He clumsily batted Tallfern's head with his paws, landed in the same clumsy way, and jumped back. Definitely could use some work, he knew that bit. @Larkstripe

@Snow Carrot
"Sure," he meowed, getting into position, looking at Quailpaw.

Re: ShadowClan Training Cliffs
 

Determined to do well, Quailpaw kicked out with his hind legs, claws sheathed, trying to balance on his forepaws while he aimed the strike at Blackforest's chest. It would have been a heavy blow, but the new apprentice overcorrected and lost his balance, one of his forepaws collapsing with his weight. He came crashing gracelessly down, but quickly stood up again, growling with indignation and shaking the dust off his pelt. Stupid furball! You've made a fool of yourself again!

Hummingbirdpaw anxiously waited at the entrance of the Shadowclan Training Cliff for her new mentor to arrive. it wasn't that she was nervous, really, she was actually quite excited. She looked up to so many warriors in her clan and she wanted to be just like them. She wanted to prove to everyone that she isn't too soft to fight, which is what everyone believed. She decided to sit down and quit bouncing around to seem more mature and relaxed for when her new mentor showed up.
