Renewal [p/assessment]

[Amberflash]

Frostedsky

Amberflash took a deep breath. She'd been asked to do Frostedpaw's assessment, since the cat who was supposed to be training her granddaughter was slacking in their duties. Nevertheless, she was happy to let Frostedpaw have her assessment and hopefully become a warrior.

Offhandedly, she wondered if all her grandchildren would end up becoming warriors one at a time.

She poked her head into the apprentice's den. "Hey, Frostedpaw? You up yet?"

[Frostedsky]

Frostedpaw was already awake.

The brown and white tabby lay in her nest waiting for something exciting to happen. Then something did happen. Her grandmother Amberflash called for her. Frostedpaw's gave her tail a twitch of excitement. "Of course." She replied

[Amberflash]

Then Frostedpaw came out prompty. She didn't look like she'd just woken up. Amberflash smiled slightly, with a slight awkward edge to it. "It's time for your assessment." She cleared her throat. "Ah, you should eat first. Need your strength and all that."

[Frostedsky]

Excitment shone in Frostedpaw's gaze. This had never happened before. If she passed she would be a warrior with her dear brother Stormsong. She looked at Amberflash and trotted over to the fresh-kill pile to grab a small mouse. Frostedpaw started munching on the mouse meat.

[Amberflash]

Amberflash waited by the camp's entrance, staring about as she waited for Frostedpaw to finish eating... Honestly, it was a bit boring waiting. It wasn't like staring about the camp was particularly interesting.

[Frostedsky]

Frostedpaw finally finished her meal.

The brown and white tabby padded over to Amberflash. She was ready to start her assessment. "So.. what do you want me to do first?"

[Amberflash]

Amberflash nodded. She turned and beckoned with her tail, as she stood on her paws. "C'mon." She began walking out into the territory, fully expecting Frostedpaw to follow.

[Frostedsky]

Frostedpaw followed her grandmother into FireClan's territory.

She remembered exploring it with her mentor Firebird. It seemed like so long ago but the brown and white tabby did not really care. All she wanted was to pass and become a warrior with Stormsong.

[Amberflash]

Amberflash stopped after they were a decent distance into the territory. She turned around and sat down. "Go off and catch three pieces of prey. I'll be waiting back here."

[Frostedsky]

Frostedpaw went off and started searching for prey that she could catch. She started sniffing around for the fresh scents of prey. Soon she caught the scent of something. 'Rabbit' The brown and white tabby crouched down when her gaze locked on a scrawny looking creature. She crept forward trying to not make a sound. Once she got close enough, Frostedpaw leaped onto the rabbit, sinking her teeth. She let out a sigh of relief that her first catch had been clean. The brown and white tabby scraped earth over her catch.

The second piece of prey was a bit harder to find. A mouse was nibbling on something but as she stalked it, the tiny creature noticed the she-cat. Frostedpaw started chasing after it, trying to catch up before she lost it's trail. She leapt, trapping the mouse in her claws. The brown and white tabby felt anshamed of her catch. Like she did with the rabbit, she scraped earth over it.

Frostedpaw went off yet again searching for another piece of prey. Since it was getting close to leafbare the prey wasn't plump. She crouched when her eyes fixed on a mouse, a scrawny one that didn't look that appetizing. But it would have to do. Frostedpaw crept forward, eyes locked on her prey. 'I can do this! I can do this!' She leapt onto the small creature before nipping it's neck.

(Hope this post is ok. It's the longest I've written in a while. And I'm sorry that I put all the hunting in one post)

[Amberflash]

((Nah, it's cool matey. I do the same thing. I think most do.))

Amberflash had waited right there, where she said she would. It was obvious enough to be able to judge results from the prey caught. Sloppy catches were fairly obvious. Plus, you could read the mood of the apprentice. A happy apprentice meant smooth hunting. A grumpy apprentice meant mistakes. She yawned as she waited for Frostedpaw to return with her prey.

[Frostedsky]

Frostedpaw went off to retrieve her catches.

Once she had, the brown and white tabby returned to Amberflash and dropped the prey infront of her. "So.. what's next?"

[Amberflash]

((FITEME

Amberflash nodded in approval. "What's next... Is I'm going to attack you and try to steal your prey. You must defend it from me." She explained. Then without waiting another second, she lunged for Frostedpaw's pile of prey.

[Frostedsky]

Frostedpaw was about to attemp to leap onto the warrior but she didn't since she knew that wouldn't do any good. Instead the brown and white tabby starting circling around the older cat before attempting to aim a blow at the side of her muzzle with claws shealthed.

[Amberflash]

Amberflash saw Frostedpaw circle around her slightly, then more or less punch her in the face. She was knocked to the side a bit, but not off her feet. She darted low, but then jumped high to grab the prey pile.
