"That I'm sure you will." Duskclaw leans down to match his apprentice's eye level. "But let's be clear: you're learning. Don't get ahead of yourself when it comes to water. Even the strongest RiverClan swimmers can be dragged straight to StarClan if they aren't careful." The massive tom leaned up and licked one of his paws.
Duskclaw thought about where to go from here. Throwing Claypaw around in the water would be fun but this first attempt clearly left her out of breath. Duskclaw taught me how to swim by repeatedly throwing me into a deep pool. Wasn't a quote he wanted to hear repeated back to him by Primroseadder or Owlstar. One time was already pushing it. Sensible types of training were off the table, too. Walking and explaining leads to weak Warriors, only testing lead to strength.
"Can you catch fish, Claypaw?" |
Claypaw
|| She/her || 8 Moons || 36/100 ||
"Yeah, yeah." Claypaw nodded along, half paying attention. She couldn't wait to tell her brother all about learning to swim. Stepping away from Duskclaw, Claypaw shook herself to get rid of the extra water dripping off of her. Light colored fur still pressed to her side, but it did feel a bit lighter. Wait, what did he say about fishing?
"Nope! You showin' up to the meetin' was more than my last mentor did! Are we gonna do more swimmin' and some fishing?!"
