Sprucepaw
|| She/her || 7 Moons || 41/100 ||
Sprucepaw headed out with Spiderpaw and Heroneye, keeping close to them as they headed through the territory. She always appreciated heading out of camp, and seeing what the Clan's lands had to offer. Like the little clearing they ended up in. It was unfamiliar to her, but nice enough. There was a good amount of room, especially for what they were to do.
Sparring, though? She hadn't done a serious bout with another apprentice before, just practicing moves. No fighting with claws made sense. It seemed like a poor idea to allow harm when just training. Would she do well, though? Sprucepaw wasn't sure how much more training Spiderpaw had over her. The tabby had some like her, but was also older. Stars above, her chances were surely slim. Would Heroneye even let her do more training if she failed spectacularly?
No, she couldn't think like that. A good warrior didn't doubt themselves in battle. If this was supposed to be a pretend battle, then she'd act like it was one. Deep breath in and out. When Spiderpaw allowed her the first move, Sprucepaw darted forward. Her intention was to go for a sweep at the paws, but Spiderpaw leapt over her. What? She tried to crouch, but couldn't avoid the kick that sent her stumbling.
Quickly, she tried to recover. Allowing Spiderpaw to have all the battle momentum would spell her downfall! Sprucepaw tried to strike at her fellow apprentice's side with a paw as she recovered from the jump. Even if it didn't land, it might keep Spiderpaw from doing another surprising attack.
