Aquapaw's training

[Rayvn]

When you are ready to begin, drop to a defensive stance Arcticblade meowed. Aquapaw complied immediately, choosing to drop to a light crouch. He began to circle, Fairly good form, almost perfect. However if you are not truely ready for an attack, good you no good. he reached out a paw to smack at her, she lept lightly out of the way, then dropped directly back to her crouch,Like that Arcticblade? he nodded and continued circling, You must also be ready for the unexpected.
Aquapaw nodded and stared quietly at her mentor, figuring his next move, ready for almost anything after his 'unexpected' speach. She remembered when her tiny size had made it easy for him to knock her around, now it just made it harder for him to catch her. Suddenly Arcticblade lept towards her on her left, she lept out of the way, then slide underneath him and knocked him off balance, careful to move before he fell on her this time.

She put a paw on his head.Triumphant once more, she bent her head in front of his, Getting kinda slow in your old age arcticblade? Her mentor laughed, no, are you sure you won? at that moment he flipped over on to his back to throw her off balance then rolled quickly to his feet Ready to strike. She jumped back, surprised then crouched, and slowly circled. She lept directly for him, something she had never done, cathing him off gaurd. He bowled over, and her teeth stopped inches from his throat. She got up, Positive. how'd i do?
Great. Now nextime maybe i won't go easy on you. knowing he was telling the truth she replied,I hope not. is that all for today? he nodded next time we'll work on hunting.

Aquapaw walked back into the training hollow where she and arcticblade had trained oly days before. She only had two training sessions left after this one, only one. Today, as agreed, we'll work on hunting.he meowed, Drop into a stalking stance, for a mouse if you please. Aquapaw complied crouching, staying only lightly on her paws, she carefully crept toward him. She took care to let her pawsteps be barely more than feather light. How's that?! she mewed stopping to look at arcticblade.

[Rayvn]

Arcticblade nodded, very good! But how does it work on the real thing? Over there by the edge of the hollow. see it? Aquapaw nodded to him, then sank into her crouch. Lightly stepping and soundless, she crept towards the unexpecting mouse. She was less than a step away by the time it discovered her, unfortunately for it, it was not soon enough. She gave it a siwft blow with her paw then bit deep into it's neck killing it. She picked up her mouse then headed to her mentor, Well? very good. do you really want to work on hunting though? we already know you can, or do you just like showing me up? he meowed. The apprentice laughed, arcticblade was kinda big and VERY clumsy it made things difficult for him to hunt, not just sometimes, but more often than not. Fine, fighting skills it is, you big ol' baby!She meowed.

Aquapaw sank into a crouch on Arcticblade's command. Offensive, when you spring at your opponent, you cannot hesitate- '-You must strike quickly, to damage in areal battle. An enemy or intruder will not stop from attacking you because you are so small.' I know. You've said that a hundred times before. Can we move on?! The apprentice mimmicked her mentor with deadly accuracy. Fine, attack me. The tom meowed.

[Rayvn]

Aquapaw lept at him, twisting her body ever so slightly as she did, making sure instead of head on, she met hi's shoulder as he lept too. She hit right dead center on his shoulder, driving him off balance, then twisting her neck to fake a bite to his throat. Well? she meowed stepping back to let him up. Nice. Where did you learn to manuver like that?
Well, when your small you have to learn to throw what little weight you have around right.[/]b she mewed shortly.

[Rayvn]

I asume being a smart mouth to your mentor is due to your tiny size as well?he mewed raising an eyebrow at her. No, that comes from having a mentor who asks retarded questions. She retorted quickly.
Okay, we'll settle this on the way home. Training is over. He smiled at the tiny cat.
