Maplemouse
Warrior || She/her ||13 Moons || Lanky tortoiseshell she-cat with one green eye and one blue eye

So the rush didn't work. Maplemouse couldn't say she was too surprised... though Pineblossom's graceful leap was interesting to watch. Her tail lashed once before turning back to listen to the warrior's advice.

"So I should be a bit more... calculated?" She wondered aloud. Strength wasn't her specialty - stars her legs looked like twigs compared to Pineblossom's. Speed wasn't either. She wasn't experienced enough to rush in to battle and let her instincts take over. Perhaps Pineblossom's point was to analyze her opponent a bit more?

"I've got one more idea." She spoke after a moment, lowering her body into a hunter's crouch. Then, she rushed forward once more. Instead of blazing full steam ahead, she skid to a stop just in front of the hornet and raised a front paw. A bap was aimed to her shoulder - a real one this time. Then, the other paw raised. Another attempted bap. Stronger this time. To end her attempted assault, both paws moved to wrap around Pineblossom's neck. If she even got that far, the tortie would shove her nose into the side of the hornet's neck - mimicking a bite.
