Weaselnose sighed and trotted after the apprentice. He stopped once he was inside the hollow and sat down. "While we wait on the other two how about you work on that dreadful form?" Weaselnose said gruffly, "Show me your best."

turning her head back to BoneClaw, DuskPelt purrs softly. "when it comes to meal time, there are rules. Elders, Queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating. " the warrior explained.

"we bring back what we can. even the smallest thing can help. when prey becomes scarce, the clan eats as little as they can while still keeping themselves going." DuskPelt explains. "how good are you at hunting?" she asks.

Lighningsong picked up his pace to catch up with Weaselnose.
(It seemed like more happened than actually did.)

DuskPelt nodded. "dont worry. with practice and training youll do fine." the warrior finished cleaning her paws, and flicked her tail over the ground. "anything else you want to know right away? if not, ill show you around camp"
LightBringer looked up at FernPaw. "that is very kind of you! im sure GorseKit would be pleased to talk to an apprentice like you" the queen purred happily. GorseKit, hearing his name, comes running over. "what is it mama!"

"Hi GorseKit. Would you likeme to show you some of the things I've learned in training?" Fernpaw asked the kit. She was prepared to offer to take the kits individually right outside of camp to get some moss.

Pebblepaw smirked and crouched low to the ground. He spread his paws far apart and stuck his tail straight in the air. Tightening his muscles, he let out a huge, high-pitched snarl.
Stormpaw sat next to Lightningsong at the edge of the training hollow. He watched Pebblepaw's miserable attempt numbly as he turned his head slightly to talk to his mentor. "Yes...what was that ceremony all about anyway? Who was that cat? I saw you talking to Orchardstar earlier...That was about that new cat right?"

"He was a rouge wefound on the territory and Orchardstar offered for him to join the clan. He has to promise to look after the clan the same way you and I do and he is going to go through the same training you do essentially." He glanced at his fur hoping there were no signs of the scratches BoneClaw had given him.

Weaselnose growled with annoyance. "Form is a serious matter Pebblepaw!" He snapped and stalked in a circle correcting things as he passed, "Your paws are to far apart, keep them in line with your shoulders." "Lower your hind end, this is not playtime." "Hind legs gathered in a slightly bent angle underneath you." "And put that tail down. Tails are for balance, you want your tail relxed and extented behind you." Weaselnose finished his circle and then crouched down to show an example of perfect form. He then stood, "Try again." Weaselnose ordered stiffly.

Stormpaw's eyes widened considerably. "You found him?" He paused. "Does this mean I'll be training with him? I mean will he be learning to hunt and fight with me and Pebblepaw and Fernpaw?" Stormpaw shuddered slightly. Boneclaw was an intimidating cat, especially considering that he was a former rogue and fully grown, unlike the young apprentices. Stormpaw glanced over at Pebblepaw, who probably only weighed as much as a small rabbit, wet.

Pebblepaw corrected his body as Weaselnose pointed out each issue, staring at his mentor intently, trying to mirror him. He flexed his claws into the ground and pricked his ears. "Now what?" he whispered as his tail drifted upward.

"I don't think he will be training with you but we can't be sure. You should't worry though Orchardstar trusts him so we can trust him." Lightningsong soothed as he grimiced at Weaselnose's harsh words. He was happy Stormpaw only needed gentle encourgment.

Weaselnose nodded, "Better." It wasn't much, but then again, coming from him, it said a lot. "Now, extend your legs just. Just slightly! Your belly should not touch the ground. If your belly or even your hair drags the ground your prey or, if in battle, your target with easily hear you." Weaselnose wagged his own belly for an example or how it hovered just out of reach of the grass.

Stormpaw nodded, reassured but still frowning and thinking hard. Every so often he would whisper to himself, "Oh, Pebblepaw...," as every so often Pebblepaw would mess up again.

Pebblepaw grinned, jumping up in excitement at Weaselnose's praise, then remembered what he was doing and crouched low to the ground. He lifted his belly slightly above the grass and waggled it like Weaselnose. "It tickles!" he snickered. He lashed his tail from side to side, still in good spirits but growing impatient from trying to stay still for so long.

Weaselnose looked over at Pebblepaw, "Well we don't fun our bellies over it all day. And stand still!" He scolded as he noticed Pebblepaw growing impatient. Weaselnose straightened out of his crouch and looked at a rock a couple meters away. A lonely cricket sat on the stone. Weaselnose looked at Pebblepaw like, "There's a cricket on that stone." He said lowly. "Catch it." Weaselnose order stiffly.

OrchardStar lashes her tail a bit as she faces DewSpirit. "what does the warrior code say about trespassers, DewSpirit?" she growls quietly. not in a blind anger, just as emphasis on her point.
"then lets show you around camp" DuskPelt gets to her paws, and shakes her pelt out. waiting patiently.
GorseKit purrs and nods. "yes please!" he mewls excitedly. his eyes are bright, and he forces himself to stay quiet, so that he can pay attention to the apprentice and what she has to say.

"Why don't you go show me your hunters crouch" Lightningsong suggested to Stormpaw.

Dewspirit looked at Orchardstar calmly. "Nothing. It states to protect the clan with your life. But there is nothing about rouges or loners." Dewspirit said simply, but realizing she might seem disrespectful, she quickly dipped her head and added. "It does however state that the leaders word is the code. And you have said before that outsiders are to be run off the territory." Dewspirit meowed softly, keeping her gaze down at her paws.

Pebblepaw widened his eyes in surprise at the command, then narrowed them in smug determination. He went still as a rock and began creeping toward the cricket.
Stormpaw dropped into his hunter's crouch, his whole body low to the ground. His whiskers twitched as he watched Pebblepaw approach the cricket. He barely held back a smile and waited for Lightningsong to inspect his form. "Lightningsong, may I...?"

OrchardStar frowned, and shook her head, disappointed. "the warrior code states that boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. have you forgotten that?" she chides, forcing her voice to remain calmer then she really feels. the leader knew accepting such a cat would bring some form of chaos, but his ability to hide out for so long was something that could be used in battle, should the need to ambush arise.
GorseKit got to his paws, and crouched, a bit clumsily. thinking for a moment, he attempts a front paw blow, bringing his little paw down on a rock that is in front of him, as if it were another cat's head. LightBringer watches with pride as her little one gets a bit of early practice in.

"Yes just bring your tail a little higher next time. If you want since they are practicing their hunter's crouch we can go hunt. We can come back later to see if they want to do some battle training." Lightningsong was getting bored of waiting oon the edge of the hollow and wanted to strech his legs. He knew Stormpaw was quite good at the crouch itself and could robably learnmore by using it.

"That was good," she cooed, " can you try it again but think of your movements as being as natural as a breeze. It might help to make them even more fluid." She loved being around the kits.
Beechkit curled up next to Lightbringer and dozed off.

GorseKit nodded, and tried it again, letting his muscles relax as he moves this time. to him, it seems much more fluid, and he purrs softly. "i cant wait to be an apprentice!" he meows excitedly.
BlossomKit and OceanKit are busy grooming each other, relaxing in the sun next to LightBringer.
