Almost as soon as he'd finished his phrase, Finchwhisker lunged forward once more, this time coming in from a higher angle, which would ideally give Shadepaw practice in ducking lower as he began the roll. That is, if he managed to avoid the incoming attack once more. Other than the extremely close call, however, his apprentice's transition had been a smooth, fluid motion. Rather impressive for the first time, and exactly the kind of skill the dark tom wanted to see. But working on that reaction time and movement speed was part of the next exercise he had planned.

Even though Finchwhisker jumped higher then the last time shadepaw was ready for it, he was starting to get quite a good grasp on his mentors speed and the surprises were becoming a little easier to predict. Without wasting anytime the young apprentice ducked an inch lower than before and rolled to the side while keeping the same distance as the first time.
