She nodded, and quickly bent her legs and squared her shoulders. Then she did her best to drop one shoulder and roll under herself, but the movement wasn’t completely fluid. It was still better then she expected to do on her first time though, and she tensed her legs, before pushing them up quickly, and rolling back into normal position. “How was that? I know the part in the middle wasn’t the smoothest, but the rest was just basic application of normal attacks, so that wasn’t too hard.”

Frostfeather watched with proud eyes as Amberpaw gave the move a try. As the apprentice got back to her feet Frostfeather flicked her ears approvingly.

“That was an excellent first try Amberpaw,” Frostfeather praised, “your roll was indeed a bit shaky but you recovered well. Let’s try that again but this time when you roll drop your head with your shoulder, it’ll make your movement easier to do and smoother. As for your kick this time unsheathe your claws so you can get a feel of what it will feel like.”

Just as she finished her words Yellowpaw stepped into the clearing. Frostfeather greeted her with a warm blink and nodded for her to join Amberpaw infront of her.

“Glad you could make it Yellowpaw; we are discussing Windclan counter attacks. Currently we are working on a roll kick. You may watch Amberpaw as she attempts it again and then give it a try. Just to catch you up this move is valuable to us because it allows for a way to throw off a jumping attack by a Windclan warrior, especially since these types of attacks are common. “

Frostfeather nodded to Amberpaw.

“You may begin.”

She tried again quickly, bending and squaring quickly, before dropping under again. The movement was much more smooth this time, and she wasted no time kicking up. “There! I think that went much better!”, she said as she rolled back over and bounced up to Yellowpaw. “Hey! So, we’re training together, huh? It’s my first time doing a double training session, so I’m excited.”

Frostfeather lashed her tail excitedly as she let out a purr of approval.

“Yes that was it! Good job Amberpaw!”

She turned to Yellowpaw and gave a smile.

“Alright Yellowpaw, assume a normal stance and then drop one shoulder and roll under yourself. Keep your legs tight and tensed. Once you see your attacker coming down on you you push up with your legs and flip them over, just as Amberpaw demonstrated. You may begin.”

Frostfeather shook her head.

“Don’t say that, clearly you’re still feeling a little sick. Let’s try that again and this time why don’t you just practice going from a stance to the roll. Keep your legs close together and try not to lean too much into the side your going to drop your shoulder too before you start a roll.” She flicker her ear as she looked over Yellowpaw, the apprentice did look quite tired.

“If you still feel ill, feel free to simply watch for today and try to point out where you can see room for improvement in Amberpaws demonstration.”

She glanced up at Amberpaw.

“After Yellowpaw tries again and if she feels up to it I’d ideally like you two to try the moves against each other. If Yellowpaw wants to sit out for today, Amberpaw I will try to attack you and you’ll use the move on me.”

She nodded, feeling bad for Yellowpaw. She’d hate to feel that way in general, let alone from being sick.

Re: RiverClan Training Island
 

Frostfeather let Yellowpaw think over her offer a bit more.

“While you think Yellowpaw, Amberpaw why don’t we try out the move. I will attack and I want you to use the technique to hold me off. “

She crouched, letting Amberpaw get into position. After a few seconds of readjusting her paws she shot forward and leaped, her paws outstretched as she aimed at Amberpaws back.
