Cherryrain nodded quickly, swallowing down the rising sickening feeling in her stomach. She would go to camp. She would rush into Sparrowstar's den and tell her the news. No- Not Sparrowstar. Was it Thrushfur's den now? "I, uh, I bring the, uh, the matter to T-Thrushfur, yes?" she consulted Alderstep, figuring that his mind was properly functioning (to an extent) unlike hers.

Okay, now Cherryrain was just a mouse-brain. "Yes, he's our deputy. Or leader, I guess." Hm. Thrushstar...it felt odd to him. Alderstep supposed he'd just have to get used to it. He flicked his ear as a drop of rain fell on it in a certain way that bothered him. Eugh. He'd never get dry after this. "Or any keepers," he added as an afterthought. Like Flameheart. She could be considered one of the pillars that held up the clan. Maybe. But any cat would honestly do. Any help would be appreciated.

Cherryrain nodded. She was glad that Alderstep was still rational at least. She avoided looking at the dead body, and turned around quickly before she could see it out of the corner of her eye. Phew. The sickening feeling had slowly begun to fade. She began runnning as fast as she could, away from Alderstep and Raypaw. She needed to be fast.

( End of rp for now i guess. I'll have to request an audience with Thrushfur :/ )

Roseraven felt the need to run around for a bit. She needed to train her hunting abilities anyway. Might as well.

{Springpaw}

Springpaw nodded along with Rabbitchatter’s words about her father. Again, she didn’t know much about him, but he only seemed like a decent enough cat to know. She, however, felt a bit disappointed that her questions weren’t answered. When she opened her jaws to speak, they were suddenly interrupted by Bumblebreak’s patrol assignments. That swept all the disappointment away and replaced it with unrelenting curiosity. This would be her first patrol and she wouldn’t know what she would find there. There could be a bit to learn about this specific area. Her good ear twitched towards Rabbitchatter as she heard him speak once more, giving a short nod as she lifted herself up to all fours. Dirt stuck to the fur on her underbelly but she’ll manage to clean that later. Fluffing out her distinguished pastel gray-and-orange calico fur, she focused back up towards Rabbitchatter. “Yeah, I would like that!” She spoke excitedly, now genuinely interested about the borders of ThunderClan and what they’ll find out.

As they both left camp, Springpaw couldn’t weld her eyes off of everything that she saw. So many scents were filling her nose at once, and she couldn’t comprehend one from another. The sounds of random small critters began echoing in her ears, and a couple of birds flew by in her peripheral vision. She almost wanted to stop and focus for a bit on the territory around them, but she knew she couldn’t do that. They had to get Wisteria Falls. Whatever that place looked like. Springpaw then focused her attention back up towards Rabbitchatter again as she tried to ignore all the new sights and information she was now currently taking in. “So… About my other questions…“ She began, scraping her claws lightly against the ground as they walked. “You were gonna answer them, right? Before we got sent onto patrol?” She forced herself to sound neutral, not be overfilled with excitement from all the nature around her. She couldn’t help but shiver a bit from a small, cold breeze flowing through her thick coat. She wished it was warm weather now and not this stinking cold.

@wren [If this isn’t good, I’m sorry! I tried to do a good starter!]

CedarSparrow padded into Thunderclan territory. She'd only taken one step before collapsing. She'd been walking no stop for days, no food and no water. She was cold sweating and burning hot, even though it was cold outdoors. She had walked from a far far twoleg place to get back home. She lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Hazelpaw yelped as Hailhawk grabbed her by the scruff and hauled her away from the weird structure. She shot him a disgruntled look and gave her pelt a shake as she turned her head back to the now identified twoleg structure. "Well, it doesn't look dangerous," she huffed, but made no move to approach it again. "So, what's this area called? Weird Dangerous Twoleg Structure Area?"

"Its called the mossy den, because, its an old twoleg den-thing, covered in moss." Hailhawk told her, giving her a stern look when she shot him one

Oriolepaw blinked in surprise when Sootfur signaled for them to take a break. He hoped that wouldn't be the end of their lesson; he still felt like he had so much more to learn!

Fortunately, it seemed Sootfur only wanted to chat about what had occurred so far. The apprentice beamed at the praise; he still wasn't entirely used to hearing it, so it continued to warm his pelt whenever he did. "Thank you!" he exclaimed.

He tipped his head to the side as Sootfur questioned his choice. It had seemed like the obvious move to Oriolepaw at the time; he figured a warrior like Sootfur would be able to figure out why he'd made that choice. Sootfur isn't that much older than I am. He might be a good warrior, but that doesn't mean he has too much more experience compared to you!

"Well, I thought it would be something unexpected," he explained. "I figured you'd be prepared for me to leap at you, so me running past you might catch you off guard. I was going to grab your tail to try to off-balance you... or something." He suddenly began to doubt himself; had he made a truly dumb move?

Sootfur looked at the black and orange apprentice thoughtfully for a few moments, hind leg scratching at his right ear as it itched.
"Well, that could have worked if you hadn't chosen the tail as a target. It was too easy for me to move it away quickly and retaliate."

He wasn't sure whether suggesting the same move he'd started with during his training. Sootfur remembered very well making the same exact choice, but he hadn't gone for the tail.
"Mh... What if you were a little more unpredictable? What if, for example, you looked at the tail as a clever feint and then hit the forelegs? Think about it."

The gray tabby put himself beside him as if Oriolepaw had just landed right close and was ready to do as he was telling him now. "If I see a young, inexperienced apprentice aiming at my tail, as a warrior I'll immediately turn around and aim a blow at you while your jaws clench around the air." He moved his tail closer to Oriolepaw's mouth while he spoke, and then suddenly turned around to protect it.

"See? I'm confronting you, but now you're at a disadvantage. But if you could just feint that move, and hit my legs instead..." He pointed with his eyes at his paws and pretended to be hit as if receiving a blow. He almost fell down, and he would've surely if that was a real battle. "Well, not only you catch me unprepared, but the important thing is your opponent is losing the balance. The situation turned around easily, didn't it?"

Oh stars, I hope it makes sense. This is just a move, but I'm not sure how many others I know. Usually, everything's so instinctive during a fight... but then, I feel like I'm learning a lot too during this lesson. It's useful to reflect on stuff we do every day without thinking too much about it.

Sootfur winked at the quiet apprentice and stepped back to start all over again. "The feint will be very effective against an older cat because they will immediately underestimate you. The surprise will be even bigger then!" He cheered with a huge grin on his face. Oh, how much I would like to see that Shadowclanner in that place.

"Now, you try and I'll pretend to fall under your trick. Then, we'll move on to the middle-battle-moves." He nodded and braced himself.
