"Ready!" Bouncepaw meows, stepping out of the water. He shakes the excess droplets off his body, then gets into a ready stance. Not only was he cooled off, he was energetic, ready to fight!

"Bluestrike's been teaching me a couple of things," Bouncepaw adds, "Like...this!"

[Bouncepaw rolls an 11]

Bouncepaw springs at Vinepaw, jumping on the older apprentice, and attempts to rake his paws along his muzzle. His claws are sheathed, of course, but if they weren't, it would be a solid first attack in battle.

Rolled a 17

As Bouncepaw landed on Vinepaw and attempted to rake his paws along his muzzle, Vinepaw's reflexes kicked in. He ducked sharply, narrowly avoiding the swipe, and twisted his body to throw Bouncepaw off balance.

With a quick, fluid motion, Vinepaw sprang back, his eyes locked on Bouncepaw. He aimed a controlled swipe at Bouncepaw's side, his claws sheathed but his intent clear. The move was meant to test Bouncepaw's reflexes and ability to anticipate his opponent's actions.

“Nice try, Bouncepaw!” Vinepaw called out, his voice filled with genuine admiration. “Bluestrike’s teaching you some solid moves, but remember, it’s not just about making the first move. You’ve got to stay on your toes and keep your balance. In a real fight, every action has a reaction.”

Vinepaw crouched low, preparing himself for Bouncepaw's next move. His eyes sparkled with a mix of challenge and encouragement. “Let’s see if you can keep up. It’s all about reading your opponent and adapting quickly. Show me what else you’ve got!”
