Fighting practice

[Flight of the Thunderbird]

It was mid-day, and Riverleap was even sweating in his short fur. He wondered if his apprentices wanted to train today, in the shade if course, since everyone seemed to be very lazy that day. He stood there, still for a few seconds, and then he decided he should take them out for training. It never hurts to exercise, right? He walked uselesly around uselessly, then though Why am I doing this? I'm useless today. Better go find those apprentices and train. He called for his two apprentices. "Cloudpaw? Aspenpaw? Where are you? We're going for fighting practice!" He looked around. Now, where are those apprentices?

Flight of the Thunderbird sorry it took me ages to reply! Thanks for setting this up! And Rogue


Aspenpaw didn't handle the heat well. She had a medium length pelt that was rather ragged. but in the greenleaf heat it felt like it was miles thick. Making her feel sluggish and agitated. So when her mentor's voice called from somewhere outside the apprentice den she groaned inwardly. Battle practice? In this heat? Sighing softly she drags herself from her shaded nest and out into the hot sunshine. It blared down on her blue-grey mackerel tabby pelt, causing the white bits of her her fur to gleam. Glancing around she finds the tom, Riverleap who had been assigned to train her. Glancing about some she pads towards him halting a tail length before him. " Hey..." She says in her slightly raspy voice. Her amber eyes holding his gaze briefly before dropping to her paws. She hadn't been in Sunsetclan long and still felt like a bit of an outsider.

Cloudpaw opened her eyes at the sound of her mentor's voice, and she slowly sat up and shook out her short grey and white fur. It was a very hot day, and she was thankful that she didn't have a thick pelt like some of the other cats in the Clan. Despite the heat, she was very excited to work on her battle skills, and she bounded out of the den and over to where her mentor stood with his other apprentice, Aspenpaw. Cloudpaw hadn't really spoken to Aspenpaw before, but the blue-grey tabby looked friendly enough, if not a little shy. The she-cat seemed intently focused on her paws.

"I'm here!" Cloudpaw meowed, halting beside her fellow apprentice and gazing up at Riverleap with bright amber eyes.

Riverleap looked as Aspenpaw, still new to the clan, dragged herself to him and halted a tail length in front of him. She seemed very hot, having a thick, medium-lenght blueish grey coat. "Hey..." she rasped.Then, there was Cloudpaw. She seemed cooler, being blessed with a short grey and white coat. She seemed slightly shy around Aspenpaw, maybe because she just came into the clan, but she meowed contently, "I'm here!" She seemed to be intently staring at her paws, when meanwhile, Aspenpaw just looked super hot and sluggish.
I sorta feel bad for making them train in such a hit day like this, Riverleap though, but it cones with a good reward after. Plus, my apprentices need to know each other better and befriend each other.
"So," Riverleap said, "you're probably wondering why I brought you out here on such a hot but nice day for training. Well, the truth is, I think both it you need to practice your fighting skills if anything, and after we can go for a swim!" Oh wait, he thought, Cloudpaw's afraid of water. Well, this will help her overcome it! He smiled a big smile. Today was going to be a good day.

"A swim?" Cloudpaw squeaked, staring at her mentor with terrified amber eyes. Surely he remembered that she was deathly afraid of water? The grey and white she-cat looked to her fellow apprentice, wanting to know what Aspenpaw thought of this situation.
OOC: Sorry for the short post, I'm on mobile.

Aspenpaw had glanced around when Cloudpaw arrived. Her dark amber gaze, flickering over the grey and white she-cat with mild curiosity. Shifting her weight from paw to paw, Aspenpaw glances back to Riverleap when he starts to explain his plan for their day. Feeling a little better about the battle practice since they would most likely be cooling off in the water. Nodding her head some to show she understood the plan, she is surprised at Cloudpaw's exclamation. Her eyes snapping back to her, her head tilting some. " It's alright..." She mumbles softly, trying to comfort the she-cat. " I've never gone swimming." She says shrugging her broad shoulders. " We'll learn together..." She adds thinking Cloudpaw was just nervous about the idea. To be truthful Aspenpaw was a little nervous herself. She'd never stepped foot in water deeper than ankle high. but she was living in Sunsetclan so she supposed she would have to learn. Her stubby stump of a tail wags back and forth as she looks back at Riverleap, waiting for him to lead the way out of camp.
