Aspenpaw looked up at the tree, extending his claws. He let himself grip the bark, getting a feel for it. He began to climb, using his muscles to follow Hornetstrike up the tree.

Hornetstrike balanced his slim body on the branch, leaping up to grip the branch above him and pulling himself up. "For now, when you want to get to a taller branch, climb up the tree from the trunk. No leaping for now." He directed.
"Get a feel for any branch before you go on it. If it creaks too fast or bends too much, leave it alone and stay near the trunk."

Aspenpaw nodded, trying not to look down at the ground. He pulled himself up onto a strong branch, huffing. Climbing was hard work for him.

"Excellent work. Lift your nose. Can you scent more prey up here? I can." Hornetstrike laughed, a sparkle in his bright yellow eyes as he happily stood upon his branch, gazing around the trees.

Aspenpaw tasted the air. "I can scent some birds and squirrels for sure." he answered.

"Oh yes. They're prey that will mostly live in trees. Never tell them at the gathering, but Skyclan's got the right ideas. Climbing up here, there's always birds." Hornetstrike admitted cheekily.
"Ready to try the next highest branch?"

Wolfshadow looked at her. "What?" Autumnfall looked back at Wolfshadow, taking a deep breath to build her courage, before she replied. "I, Autumnfall, think that you, Wolfshadow, are one of the best cats in the clan. You're strong and dedicated, but you also calm me down when I'm anxious... I know I can be confusing, I have all these emotions that I can't express as well as I'd like...but I could never dislike you. I mean, you're the greatest friend I got...and..." She cut off, a little scared to admit she liked him a bit more than that. What if he got mad, or didn't want to be her friend anymore if she said it?

Wolfshadow just stared at her. He didn't expect her to blurt all that out. He didn't really know how to respond, what did you say to something like that.

Autumnfall shuffled akwardly at his stare, suddenly not feeling so confident anymore. "I-I'm sorry, I said too much, didn't I?" She stammered out, pelt burning in embarassment.

"It's fine.. I just don't know what to say." Wolfshadow watched her.

"It's fine.. I just don't know what to say." Wolfshadow watched her. Autumnfall felt a burst of relief. She was glad he wasn't offput by her words. Even so, she offered. "W-well, to put it in short, Wolfshadow, I do like you. So, uh, if you ever think I don't, just know that I do." She offered.

"Uh..no problem..." Autumnfall wasn't sure what else to say, not wanting to make it even more akward. She mewed. "Er...want to come with me to Sunningrocks? We can lay around and laugh at Riverclan or something." She attempted to lighten the mood.

Icetuft finished his mouse and carried the bones to the dirtplace. He dug a hole for the bodes. Icetuft left the camp. His snow white pelt stood out against the browns, greens, and reds of the forest, Growing up it was hard to hunt but he did it by staying low and quiet. It was especially hard to climb since my pelt would flash all the animals on the way up! He found a thick oak tree and bunched his muscles in his hind quarters. Icetuft leaped a tail length up and sunk his claws all the way up. His muscles soon got tired and painful. "What a climb" He whispered to himself and settled on a thick branch.

"I guess so." Aspenpaw stopped himself from looking over the edge of the branch. Already he felt too high up. "How far do we go before a fall is fatal?" he asked, a tad bit afraid.

"Well...to be honest, any fall can be fatal depending how you land." Hornetstrike mewed honestly. He stared at Aspenpaw for a moment before mewing lightly. "Hey, we can go down right now if you want. It's okay to be spooked, trees are not for everyone." He mewed.

"No, no, it's okay." Aspenpaw quickly shook his head. "I'm just thinking about herbs and healing again... we'll keep going."

"No, no, it's okay." Aspenpaw quickly shook his head. "I'm just thinking about herbs and healing again... we'll keep going." Hornetstrike lifted a brow, but did not argue. Instead, he directed. "Go back to the trunk and find a foothold again. Repeat the process, find the sturdy branches. I'll be right near you, ok?" He smiled with assurance.

"Okay." Aspenpaw steadily stood on the branch. His heart fluttered as it slightly waved up and down, and he rushed towards the trunk, digging his claws in. He began to climb higher.

Hornetstrike watched him carefully. He sighed wistfully. "Looking out across the territory on top of a tall tree...It's such a great sight!"

Aspenpaw spotted a thick branch, hauling himself on top of it. He flopped down and stared out towards the territory. "A little frightening in my eyes!" he huffed.

"That's because you're focusing on falling! Not on balancing and manuvering." Hornetstrike teased.

Post by Frozen on Jun 20, 2017 12:33:03 GMT -5
"It's a little hard to focus on that right now!" Aspenpaw argued, a breeze swaying the tree momentarily. "How can you think of hunting all the way up here?"

Hornetstrike chuckled to his apprentice, leaping down on a branch right across from him. He mewed. "I can think of it because there's tons of prey up here that I can just chase down to the ground. Hunting up here, on the branches, that's not something I'm ready to teach you yet. But I can show you how to get prey down from the trees and into the paws of a hunting partner." He explained, yellow eyes training on the small shape of a squirrel a few trees away.
