The brown tabby tom promptly finished his breakfast and stretched his legs and back. Today, he had a plan! Bri already had her day with her the girls, now it was his turn. And since they were getting older, he knew just the thing. Acornfall trotted over to the apprentice's den, lowering his head to call into the den. "Embers! Up and at 'em!" He called, stepping away to let his apprentice emerge. He had already briefly mentioned his idea to his apprentice before, and he seemed eager to assist at the time. He just hoped Emberpaw was still up to the task.

Grinning, Acornfall decided to head over to the nursery to rouse the fam while Emberpaw worked on getting out of his nest. He bounded over, immediately going to Bri and nuzzling her affectionately. "Good morning, my love." He purred. "Mind if I take the kittos out of the nursery for a bit today?" He asked, touching his nose to her's to try and reassure any anxiety she might have. "Just for a little training exercise. You can come and watch if you like!" He hoped she'd say yes, they'd be apprentices soon. And he wanted to equip them for their apprenticeship as best as he could.

[OOC: Hey y'all! This will be a training thread! If you want your kit to get the basics of battle done, this is for you! We'll also go over basics of the hunter's crouch. If you do participate, please be mindful of the posting order so things don't get chaotic! There's a lot of us potentially on this thread lol.]

Well, this appeared to be it. Out of all of his brood, the ones that showed up so far were Breezey, Little Clover, and Kessy. Not too bad, and really doing this in a smaller group was probably going to be more efficient. He purred as Bri showed up with her question, pressing his muzzle to the base of her curled little ear affectionately. He did so adore those cute little ears. "It looks like these will be the only ones for now, darling. You can rest if you like." Besides, he wanted to get Emberpaw involved in this more. The kits were still young, but Ems was gonna be a warrior someday. Which meant he needed to know how to teach as much as he did how to learn.

"Alright then kids! Who can show me a good battle-ready stance!" He challenged with excitement, dropping down into an exaggerated play bow. This was learning, but that didn't mean it couldn't be fun. He looked at Emberpaw and gave him a little wink, letting him that he could drop down and demonstrate his crouch. Acornfall hadn't taught Ember basic combat yet, so this would be good practice for him too. The brown tabby straightened up, not wanting the kits to imitate his silliness, and gazed upon them with warmth and attentiveness. Watching closely as they would demonstrate the best combat-ready stance they could.
