Hawkbite listened intently on the smaller feline. A small hum escaped him as he listened to Yellowpaw talk about the event. He couldn't deny that he was a bit impressed by the younger feline for pulling off that move, despite it not being a standard battle move. Combat was about refining and evolving your style, though, so he couldn't be mad at that.

The Commander thought for a moment longer before his humming stopped and he flicked his tail. He had a better idea. "You've completed all your training, correct?" Hawkbite would pause to give him time to answer. "How about we do your assessment now. We can retry this spar we had and the only requirement is that you win."

Hawkbite usually ran the assessments with the requirement being to flee or win but demonstrate decent skill. He wanted to challenge Yellowpaw, though. His ego matched that of Shadefrosts and he didn't want Yellowpaw ending up in the same position as the former warrior. It'd be unfortunate, especially considering the potential he saw in the younger feline.
"So, whenever you're ready, attack me. The only rule is don't kill me."

It was a simple rule. Hawkbite took a few steps backwards, crouching down with narrowed eyes, although challenge sparkled in them. He waited for the first move, mentally wishing the young feline luck.

@hades.
The humming noise was a bit annoying. Yellowpaw didn't understand why it needed to exist. "Can you not," He mumbled quietly.

Finally, Hawkbite stopped making that hideous noise. Then, he asked a question that was a little interesting. However, it felt like it was rhetorical, so he didn't answer. He had completed most of his training- all that was left was his- 'assessment.'

Oh, hell yeah! It was his time to become a warrior! No doubt about it, he would win. He had a few tricks up his sleeve at this point, as well as a few stories of how they usually went. He knew exactly what to do.

"That's an odd lack of rules. I won't question, though," From the stories other apprentices told him, there was another one or two he couldn't put his finger on. However, he didn't care. You could see the excitement in his eyes as he tensed.

First, he had to analyze his opponent in a second's time. Just like the last time he was in battle, but this time, he was quicker. Anyway, back to Hawkbite. He seemed to be waiting for Yellowpaw to do something. He could use that.

Next, he'd move. He looked around and darted into the shadows. He ran around and Emerged from the shadows cast by trees and tried to leap onto Hawkbite, and would grapple him if he succeeded. It was an old favorite move.
