she was beginning to grow a bit restless. adderflower was nowhere to be found, badgerscar was busy with his own apprentice, and frogfang..as if she'd ever ask him to train her. the last training session she had with adderflower was hunting, and they didn't even get to finish the session! it seemed like that was a common occurrence whenever she actually wanted to train - she never got to finish it.

buzzardpaws lips pressed together in a straight line as she searched the clearing. surely there was a warrior around here that'd be willing to train her. maybe.., she thought, eyes landing on a brown molly not too far away from where she was standing. padding over, the apprentice stood right in front of the cat. silverfoot ..or, whatever her name was. she wasn't too sure, despite the warrior being a clanmate.

"could you take me out for battle training? i haven't seen my mentor around in a bit." buzzardpaw asked, straight forward and lacking any annoyance that would usually be in her voice. in normal circumstances, she most likely wouldn't have gone up to a random cat and asked them to give her training - but when one has a fragile ego and a nightmare cat saying theyre weak, the circumstances weren't really that normal.

Silverstripe was enjoying her time lounging around in the clan clearing. There was little for her to do and it was nice to have some time to herself. It had been a busy few weeks what with all the battles and such, and then the clan meeting which went... good. It was then she noticed the younger cat padding around the clan. An apprentice, not that she'd want one herself. Having a little kit with an ego didn't appeal to silver.
Oh, they're coming towards her.
"Could you take me out for battle training? I haven't seen my mentor around in a bit" the apprentice asked, no introduction or anything just straight to the point. Silver grinned and stretched out before standing up. She'd been laying down enough and well, if this kit wanted to train, she was more than happy to assist. Or challenge. It all depended on how well they did after all.
"Well, young one I will take you out for battle training. I've been meaning to get a feel for the new moor. So follow and uhh... keep up" And then she shook her body and darted one way as her fur made her appear to be going the other. Taking off at a sprint darting around and hard to track with the silver stripe breaking her shape and distorting her movements as she made her way for the new moor they had recently battled for.

young one?? what, did she look like she was a new apprentice or something? she was ten moons old for stars sake! buzzardpaws tail gave a short twitch at the comment, deciding she couldn't be too angry because silverstripe was taking her out either way. she didn't expect the warrior to just run off though, hurrying to run after the older molly.

following after silverstripe until they arrived at the moors, she stopped for a moment to catch her breath. and, she noticed how much prettier the new territory was with a small huff. light colored grass with heather dominating the area and a single pine tree. definitely a contrast from the tall pines and ugly dark grass of shadowclans main territory. "was there a point in just running away?" she finally asked with a final inhale, stepping forward and looking over to silverstripe.

"..anyways, I know the basics for the most part..swipes 'n stuff. I wanna learn some of the more advanced things." buzzardpaw commented, changing the topic. she was here to train, not ask questions.

Silver chuckled slightly as the young kit struggled to keep up, out of breath and panting as they finally caught up. The moor was a good a spot as any to train, being new for her and with plenty of space to move.
"Yes, as a warrior you need stamina. Sometimes you will have to run, either into or away from a fight. There is always a point in being able to run. You came to me for training and I am no line cat. I move through the battlefield striking and moving. A skirmisher, one who harrases the enemy and breaks their formation." Moving around slowly getting a feel for the terrain and sightlines. The sentinel would be a good place to stalk.
"Like what little one? Strike me. Let's see what you can do" Turning around and lowering slightly

well, she wasn't so sure about that. as long as you could rely on brute strength, stamina didn't matter that much, right? she listened to silverstripe explain what she did in battle. "yeah, i can see that.." she murmured, still a little sour that she had to literally chase after the warrior just because she was a skirmisher or whatever she was talking about.

at this point, she just chose to ignore the nickname 'little one'. watching the warrior lower herself slightly, buzzardpaw did the same, doing a crouch of sorts. she stayed still for a moment before shooting forward with her paws stretched out, aiming to claw the molly.

She moved quickly, darting to the side but not retaliating. If you strike again she'd do the same and continue until you were either exhausted or tried something else.
