Swiftpaw was nervous. He wasn't supposed to go outside the camp alone, yet his mentor had gone. Another warrior agreed to train him, but she hadn't called for a training session yet. So, he was stuck impatiently bouncing around camp. The description was surprisingly accurate, as he ran around the camp, bouncing as he usually did. He... Felt a bit nervous concerning his state of training. He was the son of Oceanstar. What if he ended up being incredibly far behind and embarrassing his father?!
As he was thinking this, he accidentally crashed into someone. "Oof!"

FangShadow padding on his way back to camp stopped to watch a small apprentice bounce around and move around figidly. He tipped his head to the side in mild confusion before he was able to step to the side the feline ran into him. Unaffected Fang stared down at the ginger feline. "What are you doing out here?" Glancing around and scenting the air fangshadow was able to see this kitty was alone. "Where's your mentor?" He questioned with a disproving expression already moving into place.
-If you mentor is inactive, Fang is active and open lol- |

((I got Shiningflame to train him, so it's good lawl
Swiftpaw was about to start apologizing profusely, when the warrior started asking a question. He blinked. "Oh! I'm just... Pacing, I guess, is that what you call it I think that's what you call it," He started to babble before catching himself, shaking his head. "Um... My mentor hasn't told me anything about training yet... I bet she's just busy and trying to make some time so she can train me properly!" He said, smiling, though it seemed vaguely nervous... More meant for reassuring the young apprentice rather than anyone else.

His disproving expression shifted into something thoughtful. "Well as much fun as pacing is, it doesn't help the clan a whole ton." He moved to turn around. "I'm Hunting, you can come along." He gave a small smile and added. "If your mentor hasn't gotten around the the basic of hunting I don't see why I can't help you at a bit." Flicking a long fluffy tail the large warrior started to pad away he added. "I'm FangShadow. You can call me just about anything if you desire. Except for Poofy that one is out." He laughed and continued into their hunting grounds. |

Swiftpaw's ears folded back and he tried to still his bouncing paws, however he didn't succeed much. He found himself alternating which paws his was using to stand, in a slightly bouncy motion. "S-sorry... I have problems sitting still..." He mumbled, then instantly perked up. He started bouncing again, before catching himself and trying to be... Well, not still but stiller. "Okay!" He chirped, bouncing after the newly named Fangshadow. "I'm Swiftpaw!" He giggled. "You're funny!"

He chuckled as the young tom apologized most young cats were like that now days. Restless to an amusing extent. He flicked a slightly nicked ear as the apprentice gave him a name to call him by. "Well It's nice to meet you SwiftPaw" He shook his head with a chuckle. "You wouldn't believe how popular that name is," he gave a wide smile and headed to a well worn clearing. Where he liked to take his apprentices. "Alright if we want this evening to succeed we need to see what you can do." He crouched down into a perfected hunters stance. "See if you can copy this and we can start from there." |

Swiftpaw tilted his head as he kept bouncing his weight from one side to the other repeatedly. "Really?" He asked, not knowing of any other Swifts in Fireclan. He followed after Fangshadow to a clearing. Though, given that it was a prairie, it was mostly a circle of dirt without as much grass as the rest of the territory. He couldn't help himself beginning to bounce again. Then the tabby dropped down into... Some sort of weird stance. Perfectly still. His tail couldn't help flying up and down, his ears drooping down only to perk back up. "U-Um... Okay!" He said after a moment's hesitation.
He tried to drop into the stance. However, his tail and ears wouldn't stop moving. He seemed to be constantly moving, and it caused his stance to be somewhat awkward.

(Lol the popular name was referring too Poofy XD, but it's chill)
The large warrior tom watched with stunned amusement as the apprentice attempted his first crouch it would seem. He chuckled. "Not quite, but it could be worse." He said with a laugh. He stepped closer and placed a massive paw on the younger males side. "If your tail really is going to wriggle around like that I fear you might scare away all the pray with in the prairie." With a shook of his head he added, Placing his paw on the toms legs they were a bit to close. "Try widening your stance, that way you can overcompensate for that crazy tail of yours and it will give you faster reflex time." Looking at SwiftPaw his optics danced with amusement. "What exactly are your ears doing?" |

Swiftpaw tried not to pout. He really did, but for some reason... Whenever he tried to be still, whatever could move did move... And it was rather frustrating... Completely ruining any attempts at stealth whatsoever. "Mmph..." He couldn't the noise of disappointment that escaped him. He tried to follow Fangshadow's suggestions, widening the distance between his legs. It was a little bit of a stretch, and slightly uncomfortable due to the lack of familiarity he had with it... But he was willing to work with it.
He reached up a paw to slap down on one of his ears, but the other was still twitching. "Er, I don't know...." He was embarrassed beyond belief.

He studied the male with a shake of his head. "I'm sure your twitch will resolve with time. However till then we will have to try and work with it. Deal?" Smiling he then added. "The stance should feel weird, that means your making changes to it." He smiled. "Try walking around in the stance to get a good feel. And if you can try to reduce your tail and ear movements." He said with a purr. |

"Um... I hope so..." Swiftpaw replied nervously. He wasn't sure how that would work, but he thought that one day being able to stop fidgeting all the time would be nice. "O-OH! Okay. That makes sense." The stance was certainly different from what he was used to, especially given his inexperience. With his muscles a bit more tensed than relaxed, he had to make a conscious effort to not relax or collapse. He did do his best to keep his ear and tail movements subtle. The tip of his tail still kept switching between pointing up and down.
((Late as heckie sorry
