Training [Swift]

[Deleted]

(Swiftpaw, Sorry this is short. I was a bit busy.)
Shiningflame sat in the camp, waiting for her new apprentice.

[Swiftpaw]

((It's fine.))

Swiftpaw actually hadn't been sleeping but had been waiting in the apprentice's den, not wanting to get on his new mentor's bad side by waking her up too early. So, he'd been sitting in his nest, fidgeting, for a few hours. Until finally his patience ran out and he took a peek outside. He blinked, and dashed over to her with a smile on his face. "Are we starting now?"

[Deleted]

Shiningflame nodded. "Once you've eaten, yes, we are starting now."

[Swiftpaw]

Swiftpaw nodded, quickly. He dashed over to the fresh-kill pile, and practically inhaled a vole. He actually almost choked on it, and he was coughing as he returned to Shiningflame. "R-Ready..." He coughed.

[Deleted]

Shiningflame nodded and led her way out into the territory, through the Rockclan's old territory that they had claimed and to the Hanging Flat, which she took to be as good a place as any to train, plus one Swiftpaw hadn't seen before placing them in a new situation which was always good. "So, What do you know so far?"

[Swiftpaw]

Swiftpaw's energy along with his entire body seemed to droop slightly, to around the level of a normal apprentice his age. "Not much.... Firewasp started showing me the territory, but she didn't even finish..." He mumbled, seeming rather downtrodden by that fact.

[Deleted]

Shiningflame nodded. "Well then, I'll show you quickly around the borders, then we can work on hunting, sound good?"

[Swiftpaw]

Swiftpaw's ever present energy seemed to return as he nodded fiercely, as he bounced up and down. "Yeah, yeah! That sounds great!" Honestly, any form of training whatsoever sounded great to him.

[Deleted]

Shiningflame nodded, making her way to the sunning rocks. "This is our border with Treeclan, and the only border in the territory that we didn't recently gain from Rockclan's moving. It is called Sunning Stones. They provide good prey and a warm spot to lay during warmer weathers, but make sure you watch out for Treeclanners, because this area is typically fought over." she said, allowing Swiftpaw to ask any questions before she moved on.

[Swiftpaw]

((Not to be nit picky but I think they're called the Sun Stones to differentiate them from the rocks from the books :U))

Swiftpaw looked to see where Shiningflame was showing, bouncing in place as he looked around. "Wow..." He breathed, simply in awe, apparently easily impressed by what his mentor had to show him. "Okay! I will!" He promised. "But! But! Why do we fight over them so much?"


@shiningmoon ((Hey I've been really bad with activity lately, but are you still up for training Swiftpaw...?

[Deleted]

(Oh, yeah. Sorry, I had thought I'd already responded a while ago.)

Shiningflame shrugged at Swiftpaw's question. "Well," she said, "I'm not exactly sure. We've fought over it for as long as most of the cats here can remember, so it's more about being stubborn than any logical reason."

[Swiftpaw]

Swiftpaw tilted his head. "That sounds weird." He decided, as he continued bouncing. "So! So! What's next?!" He was eager to see what else Fireclan territory had to offer that Shiningflame could show him.



((It's cool

[Deleted]

Shiningflame led the way to the Waterfalls, deeper into the new territory, motioning towards them with her tail. "This is the Iceclan border. It is called, for obvious reasons, the Waterfall."

[Swiftpaw]

Swiftpaw bounced as he followed Shiningflame and his eyes widened at seeing the waterfall that the border was named after. "Wow. That's really cool!" The frequency of his bounces seemed to increase with excitement.

[Deleted]

Shiningflame nodded. "And those are then our only two borders. Do you want to work on hunting before heading back to camp for the day or work on it another time?"
