[Undertaker]

@Rani - Bleedingpaw

Hearing the logic behind the decision eased some of her concerns with his snake-hunting methods; it made sense. She didn't like it, but to each their own. So long as her clanmates caught and brought home prey for the clan, she wouldn't make a fuss about how it was done. She also hadn't put much thought into his wobbly nature either. Honestly, she thought grabbing a rock and chucking it would be more difficult than simply pouncing on it, but since he was less likely to get bit while keeping his distance, it worked.

Her tattered ears were rammed straight when the turtle was brought up. Its belly? She walked over to the dead creature again and went to inspect it. Her claws slide into the holes where the heads and legs extend, but she is a bit lost on how he feels the belly relax until he mentions the gap. The leader's long black claw slipped further out of its sheath as she found the gap he spoke about. Intriguing.

"You can fiddle around with this one. We'll have to go turtle hunting. You can show me how to break open the shell." Despite the leader's age and experience, she was never shy regarding her curiosity and willingness to learn from others, regardless of their age and rank. She'd have the chance to bond with her little shadow, too.

Uh, she had already forgotten he said he had taken an extra lesson regarding herbs. So a visit to the medicine cat would be unnecessary. All this reminded me of is that she needed to take some extra medicine lessons.

"Wonderful, get your prey hidden, and we can start the combat. You've done satisfactorily enough to pass your hunting portion." She tells Bleedingpaw as she turns away. Her amber eyes scanned their surrounding; this should be good enough for a combat ground.

"We'll spar with claws unsheathed, though the same rules apply in a regular spar," Dawnstar says when she turns back around, no vital spots and severe damage. The leader leans down into a loose but comfortable fighting stance. Her swaying tail stills as she relaxes the tension in her muscles.

"You're not fighting to beat me, impress me." She reminds him before allowing him to make the first move. It was unlikely he'd get a chance in the first place to attack first, not with that wobbly, he'd be a target until he showed the other cats in the clan that he was more than that.
