Blackjaw watched from a distance. He had chosen not to participate, as he was still mentally a wreck between his feelings for Mosstangle and questioning his own worth in the Clan. Sure this challenge could've done something to prove himself, but he had arrived too late in the first place. However, he did see a familiar dark brown tabby pelt and that emerald green gaze. The tom padded over to her before the fighting would start. The tom flicked her shoulder with his tail. "Hey, you," he purred, his warm gaze meeting her determined one. "I'm sorry for not joining in with you, but you'll do great," he mewed, touching his muzzle to the she-cats head.
Blackjaw's ears perked. Maybe he was participating after all. With Mosstangle as his partner. The tom was happy with that. He knew that they were both formidable fighters, as seen when they fought each other for practice. Plus, it was her, the cat he was probably the closest with in the entire clan.
Facing Rookfire and Sleepysunrise though, he knew would be a challenge. An enforcer, and a warrior turned medicine cat. StarClan knows how this could go down. If there was any time to prove himself, it would be now.
The tom padded to Mosstangle, flicking her shoulder as a loving gesture before they had to get serious. "Alright, how are we gonna do this," he mewed. They were both large, bulky cats. "Are you thinking offensive, or defensive?," he asked.
MOSSTANGLE
Shadowclan Warrior | 19 moons | Large, dark brown-and-white tabby she-cat with green eyes
~~~
Mosstangle's ear twitched at the insult and... joke? Sleepysunrise was an interesting cat. Mosstangle really hadn't had any issues, so rarely encountered the young medicine cat. However, as Blackjaw approached and flicked her shoulder with his tail. He had thought he was too late, but before the tabby could reply, the announcement was made. She purred and stepped a little bit away from Sleepysunrise and Rookfire to work with Blackjaw and make a plan before they started.
The she-cat purred once she felt far enough away from their opponents. "I think you already know how I like to fight,' She said, remembering back to her spar with the white tom. It was good that they already had some experience with each other. "But we need to gauge them, first. See how they work together and take advantage of any openings while we can. Rookfire is a good fighter, but I don't know about Sleepysunrise. I imagine she is going to be a force to reckon with all on her own."
"I'll take primary offense, and you'll take primary defense, but I think we should switch as needed and work to stay together and cover each others' backs." Mosstangle nodded as she looked over at Rookfire and Sleepysunrise. Then, she realized that she hadn't really considered what Blackjaw wanted. A pang of guilt touched her chest and she looked back to him. "Does that work for you? Or do you want to try a different approach?" She asked, tail twitching as she realized how bossy she must have sounded.
Blackjaw nodded as he listened to Mosstangle's ideas. He agreed with how she wanted to approach it, due to their somewhat similar but also very different fighting styles. Blackjaw's large bulk and physical resistance were very useful for a defensive position, whereas Mosstangle had to edge of agility with her size.
Mosstangle's abrupt cut off and question caught him off guard at first. "No, I think your plan is great," he purred. "Out of both of them, I've only seen Rookfire fight, and I have no clue how Sleepysunrise is in battle. She's small, which could be both an advantage and a disadvantage. So I suppose we will have to guage it as we go along," the tom mewed.

Before Hawkbite could answer Flytail, Tuftedtusk moved on to assigning them partners. Easy enough, he supposed. He didn't have to come up with a reason to ignore him or deny the option.
The Commander flicked his tail towards Flytail, his gaze shifting to meet the eyes of their opponents. "I fight with speed and strategy. Stealth is my specialty, but quick movements will get us by in this setting," Hawkbite spoke, keeping his voice rather low so only his partner could hear.
"Play defense if they attack first, I'll try to pin one of them down if they give an opening."
