Silverpaw looked down and saw the kit. “Oh, sorry! I didn’t see you. Are you ok?”@Jackel blackout

[jackal blackout]

foxkit looked up and said "I am okay. I'm just exploring." @Me dragon, u breakfast.

[FRI3D_3GG]

“Ok, good.” Silverpaw had an idea. “I could take you outside camp to explore, if you want. Not very far though, don’t worry.” She has been dying for some excitement. At least taking foxkit meant she wouldn’t have to listen to boring stories or do work. @jackal blackout

Shockpaw noticed the tiny kit and carefully trotted up to her. "Hey, there. You needing help with something? You look awfully lost."

"I am focusing!" she snapped back suddenly before immediately shrinking back into her own form. It seemed she had been doing a lot of that lately. Just because Twilightstar hadn't scolded her for her outburst didn't mean a warrior wouldn't. Yewpaw cringed inwardly as the lapwings ahead fluttered at the noise but they soon settled down again. 'Stars, I need to just keep my mouth shut.' she thought.

She crept forward alongside the tom, trying to match his stance and keep quiet. 'I have no training,' she thought, shooting Breezefeather a glance as if he could read her mind, 'And I've told you this. Yet, you're going to throw me into this al the same.' She let out a sigh, returning her focus to the birds and their glossy feathers. 'It can't be too hard... can it?'

Yewpaw inched forward until she felt she was within leaping range, her hunting crouch clumsy and makeshift, and paused in fear whenever the group shifted. After a moment of psyching herself up, she made the jump... and landed wide, tumbling to the ground. Most of the birds screeched and launched into the air or ran off but one rouge lapwing darted at the small apprentice and began pecking away. Yewpaw offered a terrified, echoing screech in return and swung wildly at the vicious bird - miraculously bopping it over the head hard enough for it to fall to the ground limp.

Breezefeather sighed... This was going great. He watched the apprentice's loose and sloppy hunting crouch and gave a sigh once again. He'd showed her but she had been too distracted and now... off she went. Managing to jump up and grab one of the annoying birds by the neck the tom turned back to see the apprentice screeching and the lapwing diving towards her. Before he could manage to intercept though she'd batted the bird on the head and it was lying at her feet. "Learned your lesson?" he asked, dropping his own bird as he walked over. "Hunting requires focus. Full focus. All your concentration. You should be blessed this isn't a hare or a rabbit. They could've done some serious damage to you." He didn't dwell on the last time such an accident had happened. That was bad memories and a can of worms he was still trying to escape from. Nodding at the bird she'd somehow managed to catch he murmured, "At least you caught something and managed to defend yourself from a bird. That should be a good lesson unless you want a real attempt and will actually listen in next time I tell you something?"

Thornleaf knew something was up by the way she spoke. "Are you sure that's what it is?", he asked. The tom kept a close eye on the kit for anything out of the ordinary.

She puffed her chest and patted a back paw to the ground. "You don't believe me?"

Wishpool stretched as she walked into the clearing, trying to shake off her drowsiness. She got back up and padded a bit farther into the clearing, accidentally bumping into another cat. "Oh, sorry, er- Firesong." She said, finally remembering the she-cat's name. "How are you doing?" The black and gray she-cat flicked her ears.

Reedpaw beamed brightly at the praise. He was doing so well! His confidence was mostly all on the outside, as he was aware of his not-so-graceful body that left him tripping face first at times. He would probably grow into it though, older apprentices always seemed much more steady.
As Cloudfluff called his attention again to the next move they would be learning, Reedpaw looked on with confusion as the fluffy she-cat stuck out her paw. Hadn't they just done that? Then, suddenly she slid through a bush, seemingly attacking it from the back. That was a lot to comprehend... could he really do that himself? Cloudfluff seemed to expect him to attempt, though... so he would. He would make her proud!
"Alright... this one seems tougher, but I'm excited to try it! Maybe I can even master this one quickly!" Reedpaw took a step back to gauge his distance. That was important, as the apprentice wasn't aiming to bring them both crashing into the ground. Once he felt ready... his time to strike came. Batting his paw in the air, he quickly went to slide under Cloudfluff. It all seemed to be going well, but he might've misjudged how much he would slide, as Reedpaw soon found himself crash landing in a nearby bush. Scrambling back onto his paws, Reedpaw knew he'd have to act fast. Lowering his haunches, he prepared to jump to make up for the extra distance. Soon launching himself into the air, Reedpaw braced for the impact, landing close enough to Cloudfluff to where he could get a good strike. This was his chance! However, his balance was not all there. The apprentice soon found himself dropping onto the ground instead of landing his hit. "Great Starclan, I almost had it too! That would've been so cool..."

Cloudfluff turned around, and laughed. "That would've been cool, and I like your thinking. That was a good try! Pfft, that seems like something I would to, to be honest, except, you were way smarter. We can try it again if you'd like, or we could get on to some hunting moves." She smiled again. "Wow, I don't have a grumpy apprentice, thank the Stars--and Twilightstar." She thought.

{ Its fine!! <3 }

Rushingmoor smiled at Curlpaw’s words and nodded.

“Yes and yes- are you ready to try to block me?”

He was in a sitting position after the end of the small skirmish, but he rose to his paws once more, prepared to send an easy blow Curlpaw’s way.

Moonpaw looked around. Was her mentor here? Any cat would do, she just wanted to train! @Mumble
