The brown tabby tom promptly finished his breakfast and stretched his legs and back. Today, he had a plan! Bri already had her day with her the girls, now it was his turn. And since they were getting older, he knew just the thing. Acornfall trotted over to the apprentice's den, lowering his head to call into the den. "Embers! Up and at 'em!" He called, stepping away to let his apprentice emerge. He had already briefly mentioned his idea to his apprentice before, and he seemed eager to assist at the time. He just hoped Emberpaw was still up to the task.
Grinning, Acornfall decided to head over to the nursery to rouse the fam while Emberpaw worked on getting out of his nest. He bounded over, immediately going to Bri and nuzzling her affectionately. "Good morning, my love." He purred. "Mind if I take the kittos out of the nursery for a bit today?" He asked, touching his nose to her's to try and reassure any anxiety she might have. "Just for a little training exercise. You can come and watch if you like!" He hoped she'd say yes, they'd be apprentices soon. And he wanted to equip them for their apprenticeship as best as he could.
[OOC: Hey y'all! This will be a training thread! If you want your kit to get the basics of battle done, this is for you! We'll also go over basics of the hunter's crouch. If you do participate, please be mindful of the posting order so things don't get chaotic! There's a lot of us potentially on this thread lol.]

Breezekit was curled up, dozing with the feather her dad had gifted her tucked under her paws. It showed little signs of wear and tear, but otherwise seemed well taken care of for a kit gift. Though she had been hoping to get a little more sleep before the day, that wasn't happening when she heard mention of training. The spotted gray kit stretched on her side. "What are we doing? Is it climbing?"
Emberpaw raced out of the apprentice den. "Kits!" He purred.
Cloverkit saw her papa. Waddling over. "Papa!!"

The queen raises her head at the familiar call of her husband, a warm smile spreading across her maw. She giggles as she's immediately smothered with affection from him, tail flicking behind her happily as she nuzzles him back with a purr. Ah, training? That will certainly be helpful for them to learn ahead of time. Bri's gaze floats fondly over the kits, getting up and stretching well before straightening. Should she help? Technically she could definitely provide her assistance, however she wasn't presented with the option to do such- should she just watch? He did bring Emberpaw along, so he'll have some help... or maybe this is also training for Emberpaw as well? If that's the case, should she help out? See, as usual, she has come to the conclusion that she'll just have to ask. She's been antsy lately anyways, it would be nice to hone her skills a bit. Come to mention it, she may be a tad rusty. It has been a couple of moons, but her mentor drilled it into her very soul so she can't have forgotten anything. She's probably overthinking it again, she's not going to be that out of practice. Oh yes, she's speaking now.
"That sounds lovely dear, would you need any help? There are certainly quite a few little ones to teach," She hums, tilting her chin up to look at Acornfall.
She feels like she's gotten better at speaking lately, it must be all these social interactions. It's true what they say, practice makes perfect.
Kestrelkit squeaked in excitement, tripping over his own paws as he raced over

Well, this appeared to be it. Out of all of his brood, the ones that showed up so far were Breezey, Little Clover, and Kessy. Not too bad, and really doing this in a smaller group was probably going to be more efficient. He purred as Bri showed up with her question, pressing his muzzle to the base of her curled little ear affectionately. He did so adore those cute little ears. "It looks like these will be the only ones for now, darling. You can rest if you like." Besides, he wanted to get Emberpaw involved in this more. The kits were still young, but Ems was gonna be a warrior someday. Which meant he needed to know how to teach as much as he did how to learn.
"Alright then kids! Who can show me a good battle-ready stance!" He challenged with excitement, dropping down into an exaggerated play bow. This was learning, but that didn't mean it couldn't be fun. He looked at Emberpaw and gave him a little wink, letting him that he could drop down and demonstrate his crouch. Acornfall hadn't taught Ember basic combat yet, so this would be good practice for him too. The brown tabby straightened up, not wanting the kits to imitate his silliness, and gazed upon them with warmth and attentiveness. Watching closely as they would demonstrate the best combat-ready stance they could.

Cloverkit cuddled up to Acornfalls side. Seeing Emberpaw. "Papa...he looks like that tom...uhhh Auntie Weepingwillow! Can I call her that sense Emberpaw calls you Uncle.." Cloverkit stuttered anxiously. "O-oh! Her mate! Can I call him uncle? Uhh Uncle..." Cloverkits mew was soft-spoken as she clung to her dad's leg.
Emberpaw looked over at his mentor. Purring softly. He then noticed Cloverkit. "Weepingwillow is my mom. My dad is Nightwhisper." He said softly. Trying out his crouch which was a bit wobbly. "Hey Clover..." Emberpaw could tell the kit was very small and timid. "Wanna try the crouch? I'm not so good but maybe you could practice nd be better than me! You can do it right inbetween me and Uncle Acorn so you feel safe" Emberpaw said, his tone very soft.
Cloverkit had her small tan paws around her papa's leg. Sitting on her hind paws. Little green eyed wide. "I c-can stay by papa...? I...I can...I can t-try.." Cloverkit timidly let go of Acornfall. Creeping towards Emberpaw. Her ears gently pinned with anxiety and awkwardness. Cloverkits small brown tipped tail shaking. "L-like this?" Cloverkit gave a small crouch. Her tail quivering though her body was still

"No harm in trying, Clover." Breezekit remarked as she saw her sister cling to their dad's side. Briefly she considered practicing next to Cloverkit, but she was in between dad and Ember so she hung out by Kestrelkit instead. Really, if her sister was that nervous about all of this, she'd need the help. The gray kitten settled into what she thought was a very good fighting stance. At least, it was the one she tried using when play fighting with the other kits. Most of her weight was put on her back legs, and her front paws spread a whisker's length wider than her shoulders. She glanced over at Kestrelkit with a competitive smirk.

Cloverkit gave a small look at her sister. Noticing her move to Kesterlkit instead. Did she do something wrong by being so clingy? Did she make her sister go away by not trying hard enough?" Cloverkits mind filled with anxious and fearful thoughts. Causing her to whimper and run back to Acornfall's leg. Clinging to her father again

Cloverkit just... shied away? Was it something she did? Breezekit felt a pang of guilt. Hurting her sister's feelings wasn't something that she really wanted to do. The confidence she projected faltered for a few moments. She flicked her tail towards the space next to her other side, an offer to join her.
[P] alright kittos, show me the toebeans!
