Seapaw
he/they - 13 moons - Go with the flow

He was… Awake? So early? The apprentice blinked, eyes adjusting to the soft light that filtered into the den. It was much earlier than he usually awoke, thought probably not what most cats would consider ‘early’. Any dawn patrols will have already left, but it was a normal time to wake up! That was a win. They contemplated lying in just a little longer, when a voice caused them to stir. Ah yea, it was Wormbite! He’d asked the warrior for a water combat lesson. After going over the basic with Heroneye, they’d realised just how beneficial it would be for them to fight from the water. Think about it: as long as they were a more proficient swimmer than the cats of other clans, it should be easy for them to win! They doubted they’d need to throw many attacks, before they sent their opponent fleeing. It was the perfect plan in their mind.

So, they padded out of the den with a big yawn. In their last session, Wormbite had struck them as quite a serious warrior. Not that it was a problem! He just seemed to have a rather no nonsense approach - which was all good with Seapaw, he could cut back on the nonsense when he needed to. The contrast between him, and the far more energetic Eaglewing, who taught Spiderpaw to fish, had made him giggle in the past.

The apprentice sat down by Wormbite, wiping the sleep from their sage green eyes. “Mornin’ Wormbite.” It would be a lie to say he wasn’t a little nervous due to the fighting element, but it’d also include his favourite thing: water! So, he found it far easier to push past any nerves than he had done in Heroneye’s Battle Basics lesson.
