Bluestrike nodded, padding into a little clearing. Now... He began, looking at the small apprentice's paws. Show me the crouch I showed you yesterday. He mewed, ready to show Bouncepaw the first move.

Bouncepaw drops low to the ground and remembers to tuck in his tail. He's been practicing, and he's determined to show the fruits of his effort. Indeed his crouch is much better than before. He's lost a lot of his clumsiness and shaky pawsteps and he looks like a decent hunter. Not a perfect one, not even close, but maybe he'll catch something today.

I can see you've been practicing. Bluestar gave a nod of approval. He himself dropped into a crouch, facing Bouncepaw, his claws sheathed. Now. I'm going to attack you, and you try to unbalance me. Bluestrike shook out his pelt before crouching down again, ready to pounce.

Bluestrike, the liar! He was going to beat him up, wasn't he? Bouncepaw purrs deep in his throat from both excitement and anxiety. A fight? So suddenly out of the blue?
[Bouncepaw rolls a 1]
His eyes flash, and he launches himself at Bluestrike before his mentor is able to pounce. No time like the present, right? The only problem would be that he's too anxious and impatient that he doesn't notice his surroundings and ends up tripping and falling over all four paws into a burr bush. He lets out a yelp- not hurt, only shocked.
(At this rate I'm starting to suspect some cat put a curse on Bouncepaw, lmao. Bluestrike's got his work cut out for him, that's for sure.)
Are you alright? Bluestrike yelped, jumping to his apprentice's side. Do you want to try again? He mewed softly, concern filling his eyes. If you want to rest, that'd be fine. Bluestrike gave a small nudge.

"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt. And I'm not tired, I just woke up!" Bouncepaw meows sourly, embarrassed and upset. Oh Starclan, now not only was he a mess at hunting, but battle training too? Was he too nervous? Was that it? Or was he overly energetic today?
[Bouncepaw rolls a 3]
Bouncepaw stands up as quick as he can. He would go back and reattack Bluestrike, but he stumbles a few steps as he gets on his feet and so he decides not to, lest he fall over again. Instead, he picks off a couple of burrs that have stuck to his pelt and spits them out. Luckily he's a shorthair. There's only a few sticking to his fur.
"I want to try again." He meows, getting into balance. He was not going to give up now.

Bluestrike nods, crouching down into his stance once again. He springs into the air, pouncing towards Bouncepaw. Try and unbalance me! He yowled mid air.
