She had been expecting that. Once she hit the ground, she tumbled into a kind of backward somersault and was on her feet in an instant. She charged towards Kashclaw, jumping on him and landing squarely on his shoulders (although that would be awkward)...

kashclaw shook himself violently and began trying to buck her off; trying to resist the natural instint to reach around and grab her with his claws and drag her off that way...

Spiritpaw stayed on for several seconds, but without her claws, she knew she would not last. She leapt off him and turning agilely (sc??) in the air to face him. She would've barrelled into him, but waited for his next move.

kashclaw nodded approvingly. "thats good for now, i think you've pretty much got down the basics without usiing tooth and claw, we'll comtinuue later. now, i know you probably already know how but show me how you hunt; give me your best hunter's crouch." OOC: considering the fact that i just watched final fantasy advent children, it'd probably be best we didnt keep on fighting or i would have made him do some majow aerial tricks or something i dunno- whip out a sword

OOC: lol
IC: "Well, Bearfrost taught me his way to do it..." she began awkwardly. "But that isn't hunter's crouch..." Remembering what it was, she brought herself down into it. She was light on her paws, but lopsided and unbalanced.

kashclaw walked around her, inspecting her form. he nudged her in a bit so her legs here a bit further apart and such and after a bit he stepped back and nodded "well you need work but i think that looks better, try pouncing. go as far as you can and then stick it. (land on a spot and not lose you balance)"

OOC: >.< I know what sticking it means, xD
IC: Spiritpaw leaned backwards a bit, bunching her back leg muscles. Then she struck out, propelling herself a good fox-length (might be a bit unrealistic, I'm not entirely sure how long a fox-length is) away and landing smoothly. She was good at this because when she was back with her twolegs she often had to pounce under a chair when they were literally right on her tail.

Kashclaw gave a strange little mew of excitement. "that was excellent! i mean for a beginner, but that was really good! i dont think hunting should be much of a problem for you at all"

"Thanks!" she purred. She knew it still would take some work for her to learn to hunt, because pouncing was only one aspect of it, but she was glad she was able to do it anyway.

"now" continued the Deputy "many things you may already know, but i though i should go over them with you anyway. i think we'll start with the thunderpath, and then progress around the rest of our border so you can familiarize the other scents." with a wave of his tail, the tom started off. "its sunhigh right now...by the time we finish we should head back to camp, but i'll try to get some hunting in, alright?"

"Okay," she said, a hint of eagerness in her voice. She followed him to the Thunderpath.
OOC: This isn't the same Thunderpath that Nightstorm & Co. died on, so we're clear and to avoid complications

OOC: to be honest, i had forgotten all about that >>
note: since i am too lazy to start up a new thread, im just gonna continue in this one...
IC: the Black tom padded swiftly through the moors, with his tail high. every now and then, he would leave a marker or sniff something, but for a while, he didnt say a word. but, he stopped abruptly-auds perked and his black nose sticking in the air "Spiritpaw, do you know what is ahead of us?"
OOC:pssssst. the thunderpath >>

OOC: Whoops! hehe...
IC: Spiritpaw sniffed. An acrid tang hit her nostrils and she curled her lip to drive the scent away. She wouldn't have recognized it if he hadn't said that they were going here. "The Thunderpath," she said.
