Battle through the [Hail]

[Babylonranger]

The sun had passed its zenith, covered as it was with storm clouds that had moved in overhead the night before. The rain had stopped earlier that morning, and now, just after Sunhigh, the ground was slowly drying. Mossbrook shook out his brown fur and walked around the Sunsetclan camp. The little change in weather had dropped the greenleaf heat down to a much more tolerable level, and he hoped to get something done with the daylight he had left.

The young warrior thought of his large apprentice, Hailpaw, with a smile. The silver tom would not likely remain an apprentice for long. Mossbrook glanced around camp for the younger cat; he wanted to take Hailpaw out for some training. Spotting him, the brown tabby tom padded over, a kind smile still on his face. "Hello Hailpaw," he said. "How would you like to do some battle training today?"

((Ooc: Sorry this took awhile, Midnight.))

Hailpaw had been washing his coat when Mossbrook approached him. The young tom had finished up cleaning out the elders' nests not too long ago, and he had decided to give his coat a quick wash before going to the apprentices' den to ask his bored peers if they'd like to join him on a hunting trip.

When Mossbrook spoke, Hailpaw leaped a bit, having not heard the warrior coming. After that, it took the apprentice a few moments to catch what Mossbrook had said. "Oh, uh, yeah, sure." Hailpaw responded, shaking his head to refocus.

The short-furred brown tabby stifled an amused chuckle. Mossbrook certainly hadn't expected that he would truly startle his large apprentice, but little matter. Giving the young white tom another smile, the speckled-and-striped tabby nodded towards the entrance to Sunsetclan's camp. "Let's go then!"

The brown-and-white warrior crouched some distance away from his apprentice in the sandy training area. His golden eyes twinkling, Mossbrook called out, saying, "Alright, Hailpaw, show me what you've been practicing!" He readied himself for the younger tom's first move.

((Ooc: This is my first time on this side of battle training, Midnight, so I'm sorry this is a bit short.))
