title/quote
With quick bounds, Blazepaw made her way to the charred tree. She flicked her whiskers and parted her mouth to a grin. She attempted skidding to a stop, but ended up slipping from the marshy grass. Blazepaw crinkled her nose up and made a noise between a chirp and a squeak. She shakily unsheathed to claws to find a grip. After about another inch her claws caught onto a clump of grass. With an uncomfortable twist, Blazepaw was able to regain her balance. She huffed out in relief, and jumped back to face Stormflower with a slight chuckle, hoping it wasn't a big of a mistake than she thought. OOC/NOTES: ---

dialogue ''You should watch your steps a bit more carefully next time'', Stormflower called over to Blazepaw, amusement glittering in her eyes, ''We don't want to get ourselves injured before actually beginning the training, now do we?''
Without waiting for a reply, she sat down onto the ground and continued: ''Now tell me. What has Swiftstep taught you so far?''

The eagerness in Blazepaw suddenly died from a spark of realization. "Swiftstep didn't teach me anything yet," Blazepaw mewed, flattening her ears down in embarrassment. "I haven't been an apprentice for long, and Swiftstep seems to be pretty busy," the apprentice resumed. OOC/NOTES: ---

dialogue Stormflower raised her eyebrows in surprise. She never knew Swiftstep could be this careless. Forcing down a growl, she thought, I'll have to report this to Maplewhisker after we're finished here.
''Keep your chin up, that doesn't really matter. We're here now, aren't we? I'll teach you some basic hunting skills with a couple tips here and there before we get off to explore the territory. Does that sound all right with you?''
She smiled at the younger cat. Blazepaw was barely a kit anymore, and she was sad for her for having her first day as an apprentice go like this. She must have been very excited during her ceremony...

Blazepaw lifted her head up head up a bit more, seeing Stormflower wasn't mad about her not learning anything yet.
"Yeah, that sounds awesome!" the apprentice chirped and smiled a toothy grin up at the warrior. OOC/NOTES: ---

dialogue ''All right'', Stormflower began, signalling with her tail for Blazepaw to sit down. ''All the Clans that reside in this forest have a certain way of living. It makes us who we are, and keeps us from intermingling and staying true to our own Clan. This even goes as far as the type of prey we hunt; we hunt mainly frogs and lizards, with the occasional rodent here and there if possible.''
Flicking her ear to the call of a crow somewhere at the top of the pine trees surrounding the two cats, Stormflower asked at last: ''Any idea how to hunt down frogs?''

Training with stormflower
As soon as Stormflower raised her tail, Blazepaw quickly sat down to listen to what she had to say. The apprentice perked her ears up at the caw of the crow, and shot a quick glance in it's direction before looking back at Stormflower.
"Frogs..." the apprentice thought. She curled her face into a snarl in a moment as she pondered. "You have to get 'em from behind." the apprentice mewed, "And...uh..." she continued "What else would you do?" she resumed in thought. "Oh! And you'd have pounce on them real quick, so they don't hop away!" she concluded proudly. OOC/NOTES: ---

dialogue ''Indeed, you have to grab them from behind'', Stormflower replied. ''In fact, you have to grab any prey from behind. But we're going to need more than a basic ambush attack for ShadowClan prey.''
Pulling her gaze away from Blazepaw, Stormflower continued while looking around her into the trees, ''Look around you. We live in a forest with tall, tall pine trees. We don't have the undergrowth that would cover us like in ThunderClan territory. So in order to catch any prey at all, we practically have to become one with the forest. This means being still as a snake, blending in with the background, and training our back legs in order to pounce as far as possible.''

training with stormflower
Blazepaw gazed around the territory, looking at the tall pines and scarce undergrowth after she was told too. She recognized the somewhat open atmosphere, compared of her knowledge of what ThunderClan's territory might look like.
She continued listening to Stormflower, taking in as much information as she could remember. "Keep still, blend, and pounce...keep still, blend, and pounce.." the apprentice repeated in her head for a few moments. As the warrior finished speaking, Blazepaw nodded softly in understanding.

dialogue Amused by the serious look on Blazepaw's face, Stormflower dropped down onto a hunter's crouch, her tail as low as possible without brushing the forest floor, her ears flattened onto her skull. ''Just do as I do'', she instructed after glancing sideways to the studious young cat.

The young apprentice studied Stormflower's crouch for a few heartbeats before mocking her crouch. Blazepaw didn't notice how high her tail was or how wide her paws were, as she was attempting to keep as low to the ground as possible. OOC/NOTES: ---

dialogue Casting a sideway glance to Blazepaw, Stormflower forced down a mrreow of laughter. The poor cat had no idea how silly she looked.
''You're almost there'', Stormflower encouraged when getting up. She signalled to Blazepaw to not to move with her paw and padded over to her. Raising a paw, she rested it on Blazepaw's tail and lowered it to the ground until it nearly touched the pine needles that covered the forest floor. ''Remember, blend in with the territory'', she reminded the apprentice. ''Any prey will see your apprehensive tail from here to the Fourtrees. And'', she continued, padding up to face Blazepaw, ''keep your paws together some more. Stalking would be a hard job if you would trot around like a badger, now wouldn't it?''

training with stormflower
Blazepaw suppressed a low growl in anger to herself, "I thought I had it...." She flicked her whiskers and curled her lips in agitation. Blazepaw looked back enough to see where Stormflower had placed her slim tail and kept it in it's place. She twisted her head back to the front while flexing her muscles to keep balance.
"Blend in with the territory..." Blazepaw repeated, feeling sure that her hunting crouch look good. As Stormflower continued speaking, Blazepaw looked down at her paws. She shifted them closer together and looked back up. Blazepaw made sure she her body and tail were low enough to the ground, to where her short fur grazed along it. "It would," the apprentice responded, not realizing it was rhetorical. OOC/NOTES: ---

dialogue ''That's more like it!'', Stormflower smiled, raising her tail in relief for Blazepaw. She felt impatience coming like waves from the tiny tortoiseshell, and wished Blazepaw wasn't as hard on herself as she was.
''Now'', Stormflower began, picking up a nearby leaf. She dropped it in front of Blazepaw a little more than three tail-lengths away. ''Try to pounce on this. Remember, we ShadowClan warriors hunt in a pine forest where there is little to no undergrowth. Therefore, we do not get the chance to get as closely to our prey as possible like ThunderClan warriors do. As a result, we will have to have sturdy hind legs for a massive leap. Now, prepare your hind legs, concentrate on this leaf as if it were a lizard, and leap at it whenever you're ready.''
Stepping back, Stormflower silently encouraged Blazepaw to get it right on her first try. She will have to tell the young apprentice not to be so hard on herself, as she was still a learning cat, and the things she will learn will become natural to her in time anyway. Come on, Blazepaw!

training with stormflower
Listening to Stormflower, Blazepaw focused her glare at the leaf. She imagined she was in a real hunting patrol. She felt her heartbeat quicken in anticipation. "It's now or never!" Blazepaw told herself. She slit her pupils to focus on the leaf, took a deep breath, and flexed her hind legs. "You got this..." she thought again, while flicking her whiskers in nervousness.
Suddenly unsheathing her claws, Blazepaw bunches power into her hind legs, and pounces. The young apprentice leaped off the ground, and parted her mouth to where her fangs were somewhat bared. Blazepaw stretched her front paws out, reaching for the leaf. When she was about half way to the leaf, Blazepaw felt herself falling back down. She arched her paws for a grabbing motion. "This is like playing with a moss ball!" she quickly thought. While she was falling down, a thought suddenly struck her: How am I gonna land this?" Blazepaw became anxious, but before she could do anything, she swiped the leaf on to her claws, but crashed down into a front flip.
"Ugh.." the apprentice moaned. She looked down at her claws, seeing the leaf she stabbed in them. Using her left paw, she ripped it, and picked it up in her mouth. Blazepaw looked over at Stormflower, and put a nervous smile on. OOC/NOTES: ---

dialogue ''You're almost there!'', Stormflower encouraged, picking up the leaf from Blazepaw's paws. Dropping it in front of the apprentice again a couple tail-lengths away, she said, ''Your concentration is great, however I would suggest you not to focus on everything so much. Let it come to you naturally. Let your instincts take over rather than letting the theoretical lesson I just gave you consume your mind. Of course you're going to have to apply what I just taught you- tail low, ears flat, legs close to one another- but other than that, I want you to shape it all to what suits you best. You understand?''

training with stormflower Blazepaw nodded in a quiet response, and crouched back into her hunting crouch. She lowered herself down, made sure her tail was down this time, and shifted her paws underneath her. You got this! she told herself Just relax, and pounce.
She slit her pupils again, but kept a non-strenuous expression. Bringing energy to her hind legs, Blazepaw leapt off the mushy ground. Like last time, she stretched her paws out until her claws came out. Teeth bared, Blazepaw dove down at the leaf, this time knowing if she doesn't keep her balance, she'll crash. Blazepaw drove her head down to grab the leaf. After biting it, she skid to a semi-halt, now knowing to keep her claws unsheathed to land after her earlier incident.
Blazepaw held her breath until she knew her stance was solid, and darted her eyes at Stormflower, glimmering in excitement. TAGGED | NOTES | WORDS | --- | --- | --- |

dialogue Stormflower smiled, pride glistering in her amber eyes. ''Now you've got it'', she said, and got up to her paws. ''Now, let's use it on some real prey! We'll try to track down anything while exploring our borders. Does that sound all right with you?''
