"Yes because I choose to sneeze about the clearing like a kitten who discovered what dust is!" Lupinpaw snapped, his bottom lip wobbling as his fragile emotions were starting to shoot up. Sarcasm oozed from his words.

He looked back at the flowers, head tilted slightly as he noticed the petals that stuck to his silky fur. They're look pretty in his nest, Lupinpaw noted. "Well unlike some cats I enjoy the smell, even if my senses disagree... but it's not like I willing fell into them, or you!" He grumbled, quick to wipe a loose tear from the corner of his eye.

Pumapaw rolled her eyes again, "why else would you fall into me, if not on purpose and trying to squish me. I will have you know that it is not nice to be squished and I am not someone you should even try to squish in the first place." She then decided.. that why not try to have this little apprentice try to eat dirt... Since he just said discovering dust... How about actually making him eat dust? Mhmmm. Slowly she tried her best to sneak a paw in between Lupin paws own while still blabbering. "Did you know that dust is actually good for your skin? It keeps it clean and prevents you from getting cold." With that she aimed her paw and tried to knock out Lupinpaw's front paws, hoping that it would send the apprentice directly face first into the ground they were sitting on.

As he heard and scented the scent and voice that belonged to Creekpaw he quickly answered his apprentice's question. "I may not be able to see, but I know quite how big I am. So lets say in this case, I was a riverclan warrior.. I would easily overpower you. That is a clear advantage that mainly Thunderclan and Riverclan cats hold over us Windclan cats. We're - usually - smaller cats with a greater speed and agility. So what we're practising today is how to best use this to our advantage. How to best use what skills we're given to overpower a physically stronger opponent." With that he moved into the clearing and stood up to his full height and broadness. "I am going to be a Riverclan cat. Your goal is to land on my back, where it'll be harder for me to throw you off. And don't unsheathe your claws. I have no intention of becoming crowfood today and I sincerely hope you won't make me. I would also prefer not to bother Coyotesnarl with a ridiculous injury. But try your best, and we'll see how it goes." With that he stood ready and waited for the apprentice to attack, ears perked so he would be able to hear whenever the apprentice would move on the noisy sand of the moor training ground.

Eaglesoul let out a laugh at the apprentice who was now jumping around trying to show him what directions she was talking about. "I know the directions quite well, Echopaw, but the gesture is appreciated. I can smell the rabbits, they would make for an interesting chase and lets leave the mice to some newer apprentices alright?" With that he headed towards the rabbits, already crouching as he lead her towards the place. "I want you to do the main chasing and killing. I will be here to make sure that they don't run too far and to make sure to get one if you miss. But I wouldn't expect that." With that he veered off to the side and slowly began pushing around so he was standing on the other side of where he'd left the young she-cat. Gesturing with his tail he pointed at the rabbits, giving her a go for the hunt to begin.

Sprucekit stood up from his nest and stretched his front legs and let out a yawn. He looked at the younger kits of the den. He was almost six moons old and was one of the oldest kits in the clan. The large brown tabby tom gave one of his front white paws a quick lick before drawing it over his ear. Sprucekit sat down and began to groom his fur.

Windykit was awake and starting at all the other kits, seeing a lot in the corner of his eye. The large eared cat padded over to Sprucekit with a friendly smile. "Hey you want to play a game?", he asked. Windykit wanted to do something, but cats usually made fun of him for his large ears. It was just the type of breed he was.

Sprucekit stopped his grooming to look up at the kit. He wasn't one to judge too much, so he wouldn't say anything mean to him. "Sure What game?", he asked. The brown tabby tom gave his ears a quick flicker and he tilted his head.

Windykit could tell this kit was older, so he wanted to think of a non babyish game. He thought real hard. "We could play a game with a mouse. We could pretend to hunt it and then we can eat it after." , he meowed. It sounded like a good game in his head, but who knew what this cat would think.

Lupinpaw fell to the ground hard, his chin hitting the worn out floor of the clearing first as he bit down on his tongue. It took the apprentice a few moments but he was quick to burst into tears. His wailing echoing throughout the tearing as fat tears rolled down his cheek. "W-Why would you do that!" He sniffled his words out inbetween sobs as he stumbled to his feet.

Sprucekit liked that idea a lot. It would help improve his hunting skills. He dipped his head and ran out of the den. After a few moments he rushed back in with a mouse. "Where should I set it down at Windykit?", asked Sprucekit. Maybe farther away from them?

"Yeah. Honestly, I've missed him quite a bit. He was my dearest friend and I don't really know what to do knowing he's all cooped up and sick." Rookflight sighed, the thought of this all weighed heavier on her than even she herself knew, it was tough to even imagine Oddear being in this situation. And seeing how Lupinpaw was, it seemed this was just as hard on him, if not harder.

"There was already so much on my mind, but this news really did not help with anything. All I can hope is that he just stays okay. I suppose I have my own issues to face now." The dismissive tone of her voice had a saddened tone, she gave Lupinpaw an affectionate, but gentle nudge. Settling back into place, Rookflight once again turned back to the distant skies, staring off blankly.

Lupinpaw wanted to curl what would have been a nice fluffy tail around himself, in some effort of self comfort, but instead the stump laid still on the ground, giving the faintest twich of anxiety.

He glances up at Rookflight, taking a moment to glance at the feline. She had a different ear, just like they did... What a strange comfort. "I sense theres more to your mind then you'd admit?" Lupinpaw muttered, sometimes it was a little on the obivious side about who he was related too.
