Shadewing smiled and began to lope towards two leg place, enjoying the morning breeze. Birds could be heard far off, mingling with the slight murmurs of the two legs.
Sunpaw laughed and collapsed into the pine needles. "Fine!" she yowled, standing up and shaking her pelt. "We're here-- let's fight!"

Silverstone ran after her but she was much slower. As she ran she felt the rain start to drizzle, dampening her fur. The sounds from twoleg place were getting louder and louder as she continued forward.
Blazefoot laughed. "Alright, how do you want to go about doing that?" He asked, glowing blue embers floating around him.

Shadewing wasn't thinking as she hurried farther and farther through the trees. Soon she was stumbling onto the unforgiving stone of two leg place. Of course she'd been in this exact place for gatherings, but in the daylight... Everything was bright, shiny, and hard. Acrid scents pooled around her paws. The sky seemed to hang lower. She whipped around to find Silverstone.
(( I'm thinking they can meet some kitty pets? ))
Sunpaw growled and almost toppled over her own feet. "I don't know! Teach me something!"

Sure thign!!))
Silverstone followed quickly. She looked around, twolegs walked through paths near them. She was startled by the sheer quantity of them.
Blazefoot sat down, wrapping his tail around his paws. "How about we review instead. Let's go with a simple front paw strike," He paused. "If you don't remember it, you slice down at the face or body with your front paw." He said.

Shadewing shrank back against a building, overwhelmed by scents and sounds. "Howdy!" meowed an unfamiliar voice. "Are you lot forest cats?" The voice came from a pudgy marmalade tabby cleaning his ears on a doorstep. He grinned at them as Shadowing hopped back in surprise.
Sunpaw nodded, bent her legs a bit and reared slightly, lifting her right paw and dragging it down in a fast strike. Unfortunately, the momentum of her leg pulled her off balance and sent her stumbling. "Mouse bile!"

Silverstone hissed in surprise, jumping backwards. "Kittypet..." she whispered under her breath.
Blazefoot snorted. It was funny, but he began to remember the urgency of the situation. War was about to storm the clans, and everyone would have to be ready to fight. Unfortunately, he could only offer so much assistance in this case. It's cats like Sunpaw that are most likely to get killed. "Sunpaw, your training is about to get harder. We need to have you ready to fight; even if this means doubling our training time." He said harshly, though it wasn't intended this way.

The tom quirked his head to the side. His paws narrowed from his thick limbs, and his cheeks her pudgy and kit-like. "Kitty pet? No, no, my name's Zeus. What's yours?" Shadewing gaped at the tom. In all her years of attending gatherings, she had never seen a kitty pet out and about, as the gatherings happened at night. She hoped her leader wouldn't be cross with them for venturing into two leg territory in day light. "My name is Shadewing," she blurted.
Sunpaw growled, righted herself, and tried again, this time keeping her balance. Her claws whistled through the air. She raised her chin. All her life she'd known that her clumsiness would get her in trouble, but dammit she was going to try. Try to become the best warrior she could be. "Bring it on."

Silverstone growled at Shadewing. "We shouldn't be talking to them," she said quietly. "It could cause trouble that we don't need."
"Alright then. Let's do duck and twist. When I swipe you duck down, roll onto your back and spring back up before I have time to hit you again. I'll tell you if you were fast enough," he said, leaning backwards into a crouch and swiping forward.

"Trouble?" the cat mewed, sounding almost hurt. "I'm the one to bring trouble? You're wild forest cats! Please, you've gotta tell me what that's like!"
Shadewing turned to Silverstone, uncertain. He seems harmless, with a hapless and curious nature, almost kit-like but with awareness choosing goodness and not innocence
Sunpaw nodded, crouched, and darted to the ground, a bit too dramatically so that her roll was caught at too downwards of an angle, but she sprung up and danced away.

Silverstone sighed, calming herself down. "Fine." She said, gesturing for Shadewing to answer his questions.
Blazefoot nodded, "Pretty good. Now, a few questions. If you're are pinned to the ground, what would you do to escape?" He asked.

"It's honorable," she replied. "It's hard and cold and hungry and full of love."
Zeus cocked his head to the side. "I'm one of the only cats in this town. Whats it like to be able to... talk to others?
"Buck them off? Slash them across the face?" Sunpaw guessed.

Silverstone stepped forward. "You don't talk to anyone?" She asked with sympathy in her voice. She survived off her friends and her community.
Blazefoot shook his head. "That may work, but there is something that has better odds. What do you think is the weakest part to strike?" He asked.

(( low key plan for him to join? ))
Zeus turned to her. "I've only known a few cats in my life," he confessed. "I've lived here my whole life and most two legs don't have an animal. But I can smell the cats from the forest, how many of you there are!"
Sunpaw scrunched up her nose and bounced up and down. "The belly," she said. "I'd use my back feet to claw the underbelly."

Yeeesss)))
"Many. We all live together." SIlverstone said, sitting down. She looked over to Shadewing.
"Good. Now, how would you surprise your opponent. There isn't only one right answer." Blazefoot said, feeling more confident in Sunpaw's abilities.

Zeus turned to look out over the forest, a supreme wistfulness wetting his eyes. "My mother was a stray," he said. "So was I, as a kitten. We hunted for mice and slept in the rain. No I'm only let out when it's sunny."
"That sounds horrible," said Shadewing.
Sunpaw smiled and began to pace. "Surprise them from being pinned underneath them? I'd buck up-- no--- go limp? Play dead?"

"How do you survive?" Silverstone asked. She looked around the area, seeing the lack of anything remotely close to her home. "What do you do?"
"Those are good answers, and could maybe work. But how about I try and be more specific. You're trying to sneak up and attack an opponent, what's the first thing you're going to want to do using this advantage?" Blazefoot said, following Sunpaw with his eyes as she wandered the clearing.

Zeus stared at her. "Nothing. Lie around. Sit on laps. What do you do?"
Sunpaw hung her head and thought hard. "Come up from behind?" She said uncertainly.

"Hunt, fight, try to survive." Silverstone replied. She realized that she shouldn't be here in twoleg place, and she hadn't caught anything to bring back to camp.
Blazefoot nodded. "That's good. Do you know any techniques that do that?" He asked.
