Stagheart bounded over when he heard Owltalon's call. He gave a nod of respect to the Lionheart; both her and Seabreeze had already been stepping up in their roles, which was greatly appreciated.
He went over and joined the assembling RiverClanners, eager to get some practice in. With the awful news of some idiots invading WindClan's camp, he was sure it'd be any day now when Twilightstar would be clawing through their camp barrier. They had to be ready.
Berrypaw heard Owltalon's call and her ears perked up. Battle training? She could... try that? Maybe get stronger?
No, fish-brain. You haven't even had any battle training with your mentors! You'll embarrass yourself in front of everyone!
Berrypaw hesitated, knowing her thoughts were right. She hadn't even gotten to learn a basic pounce or swipe yet. Sure, this would be one way to learn it, but... with everyone watching? This was for the cats who were already experienced, wasn't it?
This is no place for you... not yet.
Ears flattened in shame, the dark-furred apprentice backed away and out of sight, feeling a bit sorry for herself.

Stagheart is joining the event, Berrypaw is not -- she chickened out due to inexperience lol]
