Foxpaw hurried over to Coldkit. "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, looking the kit over for cuts. Then, when he didn't think Coldkit was hurt, he purred in amusement, "That was a killer jump."

FlowingPaw let out a long breath, and hopped to his paws. He looked at RussetPaw, "Do you need any help up?" He asked, keeping his eyes on the now ruffled apprentice.

Russetpaw huffed, "As if! I can stand on my own!" she got back up, her legs still shaky but she refused to acknowledge it. "If that had been a real match I would've beaten you!" she mewed looked at Flowingpaw. "But, you're a pretty good fighting too." she mumbled.

Coldkit smiled, "I'm okay, I got the ball too!" He purred loudly. He set the moss ball down and smacked it with his paw, sending it rolling across the ground.

FlowingPaw nudged RussetPaw, "It's just practice, no need to get defensive." He meowed, giving RussetPaw a sympathetic look. Turning to face SunPrint, FlowingPaw smiled. "So, what now?" He asked, keeping a relatively happy stance.

"You were both great in you fighting. If this were a real battle, it could have gone either way." Sunprint stated. "I'm going to teach you a few useful moves you could have used." She began. "You're going to want to come from your opponent by their side or hindquarters and leap onto their back. It's best if your opponent is recovering from an attack or from a fall since they'll be distracted." She explained. "It's good if your opponent is the same size as you or larger," She added. She took a few steps away before turning to Flowingpaw. "Try the move on me. Russetpaw, you'll watch and try the move after." She instructed.

Russetpaw nodded and sat down, ready to watch Flowingpaw practice with Sunprint. She watched carefully to make sure she understood what to do when it was her turn.

FlowingPaw readied himself, he ran up to SunPrint and lept onto her back from the side. He held on with his paws, making sure to keep his claws sheathed.

Sunprint watched as Flowingpaw dashed forward and leaped onto her back. Then, without warning, Sunprint dropped to the ground and rolled out from under Flowingpaw, springing up to her paws. "You did good Flowingpaw. What I did was an easy counter because you'll force your opponent off your back if you do it fast enough." She explained. "Russetpaw, you're up." She meowed, turning her attention to the other apprentice after flashing Flowingpaw an apologetic look for tricking the apprentice.

Foxpaw went after the moss-ball and leaped onto it before grabbing it and throwing it into the air. He batted it with his paw back in Coldkit's direction.

FlowingPaw nodded and sat down, he began smoothing out his fur. Watching the two he wrapped his tail around this paws. Wondering how russet fur would do FlowingPaw watched intensely.

Russetpaw nodded and walked over to Sunprint, the fluffy apprentice took a deep breathe to calm herself and then charged at a the warrior. Jumping up with her paws reaching out to land on Sunprint's back.

Coldkit watched the ball roll back his way, he crouched down and made an attempt at a small pounce. He missed his aim and landed on the ball with his belly. It took Coldkit a moment to realize what had happened, he let out a laugh and got back up. "I caught it, just not the way I wanted too!"

Sunprint felt Russetpaw land on her back before dropping down and rolling, resulting in the force pushing the apprentice off. She sprung up quickly and moved to pin Russetpaw down. "With your opponent shocked from the roll, use that moment to pin them down." She explained, stepping back from Russetpaw. "Want to run through it again or practice with eachother in a mock battle using what you learned?" She asked.

Foxpaw padded over to Coldkit and stood beside him. "Copy me," He offered, getting into his hunting crouch with his tail low. He remembered pestering the apprentices when he was younger to learn the hunting crouch before he was made an apprentice.

Russetpaw looked at Flowingpaw and grinned, "Ready for another fight?" she mewed, giving a small little growl. She jumped back and got into a little battle stance, waiting for Flowingpaw to decide.

FlowingPaw looked at RussetPaw, and returned a grin. "Sure, I'm ready again." He mewed before walking to face RussetPaw. He waited for SunPrint to tell them to begin.

- Rosethorn -
With a content swish of her thick tail , Rosethorn sat not too far from Eaglestar's den , her mind clear as crystal . Though the fire was a devastating blow to the clan , Rosethorn knew this was the perfect opportunity to rise out of the ashes , even if it meant leaving her clan to burn ...
She watched her clanmates go about their day as she drew to her paws , her ears flicking as she sauntered towards the entrance to her leader's den .
" May I enter , Eaglestar ? "
Her voice was as smooth and placid as it always was , even in the face of absolute adversity . It was enough to make most cats uneasy .

Coldkit copied Foxpaw, getting down into a crouch and even his tail slightly above the ground. "Like this?" He asked looking up at the apprentice.

(Welcome back, Mayhem! ) Eaglestar growled when he heard a voice, "Who is it?!" he snapped like an angry elder. He poked his head out and saw it was Rosethorn. "Oh Rosethorn," he paused for a moment, "Sure come on in." he mewed and stepped back further into the den to make room.

Back at camp, DrizzlePaw flinched at the harsh snap of the clan leader's voice. 'When will he be the way he used to be?' She wondered, feeling uneasy as RoseThorn slid into EagleStar's den.

Sunprint padded away and sat down, watching the pair of apprentices. "Start!" She called, short tail wrapped around her paws. -- Foxpaw looked over at Coldkit and scanned the kit's stance. "Bring you hind legs in a little." He instructed. He nodded to a discarded leaf a little bit away since the moss ball was to close to practice pouncing on. He crept forward before springing forward and landing neatly on the leaf. He stepped off and padded a few steps away to watch Coldkit try.

FlowingPaw sprinted towards RussetPaw, jumping over the slightly smaller cat, he whipped around now behind of his clan mate. The tom went to jump onto RussetPaw's back, hoping he'd make it in time.

After coming almost nose to nose with the tom , she grew rigid , her tail raised and her head drawn up with an air of authority . Once he realized who she was , she began to relax a bit more , but her claws remained unsheathed as they always did ...
" I apologize , I didn't intend on frightening you , " She murmured , making her way into his den slowly . Her head slowly swiveled from side to side , almost as if subtly inspecting it to see if any other cat was around . A ridiculous thought , of course , but not a bad habit to have .
" I wanted to see how you were holding up . While I've had no trouble making sure things get done , it's important that your welfare is kept up as well as the rest of us . "

Just as Sunprint had taught them, Russetpaw tried to duck down and roll away. She felt Flowinpaw's graze across her fur and she rolled to the side.

Sunprint watched as the apprentices fought. Russetpaw is doing good, but Flowingpaw needs to be more accurate. She thought to herself. She shook her head and chastised herself, They only just learned this. They'll get the hang of it with practice. I shouldn't be scrutinizing them.

Eaglestar grumbled, "If having you deputy means I don't have to deal with the mouse-brains out there. And you don't rely on those who have abandoned us, which is even better!" he yelled the first part while looking up at the roof of the den, possibly yelling straight at Starclan themself. Eaglestar sighed and shook his head, his eyes were still dull and his pelt was ragged. "I don't need a bunch of dead cats telling me what I can or can't do, this is my clan!" he growled angrily.

FlowingPaw landed on his paws, making sure not to topple over. He leaped at RussetPaw's back once more, this time getting a grip on his clan mates back.
