But, you aren’t suppose to leave camp. I’ll take you back to camp. Plus you must be tired by now.” he meowed squirming in discomfort about interacting with the kit.

Awe! I wanted to go hunting with you but ok. I’m sorry Gentlemoo. Goldkit wasn’t tired at all. She wanted to know what he was doing out there.

It seemed so very long ago now, the coyote attack where he'd been so deep into his misery he'd mistaken the calico warrior for an apprentice that was long lost now... but whom he still cherished. But she was here... and she wouldn't leave him. He still couldn't believe it, and he knew it was going to take a few days of waking up in fear of she'd left... but he would enjoy her company and the everything she'd given to free herself and help freeing him from the dark past that still haunted him and the effects that it'd left on him.. Nuzzling into Daisy...no Lilypaw... It would take a while to get used to that name... and he wasn't sure if he wanted to... But he had to. For Dai-... no Lily's sake. He had to for her. She seemed to want to shed off the thorns she'd been crawling in, the brambles that held her back from unleashing who she really was... He hoped that running here, free, on the moors and flowing with the wind would help her, would help her let go of who she was and allow her to rise into her own. She would rise... and become stronger than she had been before.. and so would he. It would be a battle against everything they'd experienced, the walls that they'd shut up around themselves and breaking them down and building them up again... this time he would build them up but with her inside them.... They would be alright. Their mental state might be fragile, might be on the edge of breaking for both of them.... but together they would be stronger... be the best for each other.. But she'd asked him a question when she'd first ran into him and he felt like... maybe to take her up on that... To get them on other thoughts than this.... thing that needed to be talked about but... he was still so confused and these emotions that rained through him needed to be dealt with... But one thing he was certain of was that he was so damn happy that she'd made this choice... Despite not everything relating to him but the push was the important one... and he'd been part of giving her that push to free herself. "Come on. Wanted me to give you a tour? Show where you'll be sleeping?" the last one he said with a soft laugh. She was gonna be sleeping in the apprentice's den and he did not envy her at all. Some of those were right pain in the ass. "And of course... if you're not too tired. Could possibly do with a run through the moors and the heather?" He knew where he wanted to take her... A spot where he often went alone.. But he wanted Da- no - Lily along with him for this time...

"Please, lead the way." she smiled at him as she walked out of the shade to look up at the unobstructed sky. Her ears twitched from the tickle of the wind and the faint rustle of grass.

At the offer to take her on another run like the one they had gone on a moon ago filled her with budding excitement.

"I'd like that." she agreed to the run.

Whisperwillow calmed down some at Snakewillow’s submissiveness, it wasn’t enough to completely nullify her anger but enough to get her to stop screeching. “I’ve got a little plan of my own.” She sat in a calm fashion, facing Snakewillow. “I’ll raise the kits, so I can make sure they know just how much of a nuisance they really are.” She knew the ‘plan’ would sound absurd to any other cat, but it was perfectly rational to her. She was tired of all the excitement over kits, they grew up too coddled, they got more annoying the more attention the clan gave them. What she’d said before was not an exaggeration, nothing deserved love and praise if they did nothing good, and these kits were anything but good. “They’ll know just how I think about them, I won’t praise them unless they impress me.” She glared down at her own stomach as she spoke, “Which I don’t think they’ll be doing.”
Her gaze once again rose to meet Snakewillow’s, her eyebrows furrowed and she pretty much growled her next words. “If you won’t be doing the same, you’ll just have to stay away.” Was she acting irrationally? Maybe. It didn’t matter to her, this is what she thought was the right thing to do.

[And here comes his over the top self esteem]

Kestrelkit smiled and started circling him. He was going to win this! He had to! Well, he was going to win it anyway. He knew he would in the end. Might as well let Flakekit have some fun before he beat him. “I am so going to win this.” He rose his tail up, eyeing the tom, proudly.

"What's that? All I know is PROTECT THE BELLY!, swipe, and nom the tail."

Wolfwhisper paused for a moment. Ok. Looks like they had a lot more to work on then just that. She thought that he’d know some more moves but that was fine. She probably shouldn’t teach him the back kick just yet, although she’d get to it soon enough. There was a change of plans. “Alright. Dawnpaw, can you show him the frontal paw blow?” Her blank gaze went to her apprentice. Curlpaw may not have been her apprentice but he needed to know more then just protect the belly and should probably get caught up to Dawnpaw before they did any real sparring and if she was going to train the tom moves Dawnpaw already knew then she might as well get her involved.

[ @kittygirl - Sorry about the delay ]
Flicking her ear in annoyance that Sparrowpaw didn't show, Hawkstride turned her attention back to Cherrypaw. "Can you do the crouch again? Sorry, I was looking to see if Sparrowpaw had come."

“Well hello there my little warrior” The she cat cooed rolling onto her back so the small tom could have some room overtop of her. She was growing to like having a younger cat around.. being looked up to and liked despite her rowdy outbursts. “You’ve got quite the muscle on you! I’m impressed. Let’s see if we can put that to some good use eh?” the she cat purred rolling back onto her feet.

She dropped once again into a crouch stretching out her forelegs a moment. “Do you remember this?” She asked glancing over her shoulder

@Beau @Starbot

Peonypaw stared down at the molly for a few moments, a contemplating expression was plastered on the felines face. Oh, Wolfbound was more of a parent than either of his actual parents were. As she propped herself back up onto her paws the Calliby simply rolled backwards, landing on his back, looking up. Her praises made him feel good about what he did, made him feel proud of what he was doing. Lost deep in thought for a few moments until he finally decided to give his mentor his toothy smile. "Of course I remember it, you taught me that." he hummed.

No time to feel sorry about himself yet! There was ample time for that later, right now there was training to be done! Rolling over with a grunt the Calliby hopped up so he was standing next to Wolfbound, and mimic'd her crouch, a little off balance at first of course. He swayed from one side to another a good couple of times before he tried to fix his footing.

After cherrypaw stood up from her crouch, she glanced over her shoulder for sparrowpaw and once again didn't see her. She sighed and jumped a little to the sound of hawkstrides voice, "Oh, of course!" Cherrypaw once again got into the same crouch that foxpoo showed her and as usual nervously glanced up at the warrior.

@Wings

(thats quit alright, its wolfie im gettin a bit annoyed with!But we do have lives outside the screen so im in no rush at all!)

[Wings]

[ @kittygirl - Yeah, though atm I'm working on my new site a lot... ]
--Hawkstride--

The young warrior smiled as Cherrypaw got into her crouch again. It was a decent crouch for a young apprentice. She needed a little bit of work on her balance but, she got most of the gist of the hunting crouch. Standing up, Hawkstride smiled at her. "Keep your balance centered but, you will still want weight on your hind legs for when you push off to chase your prey. Keep your tail and ears down so that your prey doesn't see them too." She backed up a little to give the she space. "Try again, and we'll go hunting after that."
