[P/T] the owls talons sharpen the deer’s antlers

[Luna16]

Deerpaw was frankly…terrified. Owlthroat terrified her. Heck, most of the Enforcers did. But he always seemed…well…scary. Intimidating. The whole family was. Yarrowpaw treated her like she was practically invisible, which was preferable to what Deerpaw feared it would be like if the dilute calico actually noticed her! Stars! But…all that terror didn’t stop her from seeking Owlthroat out for combat training. She heard Yarrowpaw talking about her father, gloating talking about Owlthroat’s skill as a teacher. And she figured, if he could teach a cat with…physical challenges…perhaps he was the best option for her too.

That said, she knew her issue was more…mental. Deerpaw hated the idea of fighting, every part of it. But she knew she would have to be able to defend her clan, this was necessary. And she didn’t want any cat going easy on her just because she was scared. Yes…yes that was the right path! Taking a deep breath, the short-furred she-cat stepped out into the clearing, skinny tail wrapped around her paws. Shoulders hunched as her brown eyes darted around anxiously, waiting for Owlthroat.

@Daragca - Owlthroat - this is gonna be like the complete opposite of training Yars LOL.

Owlthroat strode out of the warrior’s den into the warm bathing light of the clearing. The sun felt already like it was about to become uncomfortably hot upon his thick pelt. He had no set plan, perhaps some hunting before the sun became too present in the sky. Then his yellow eyes locked onto what appeared to be an overly jittery apprentice. Brown eyes darting this way and that, another one of Shadowclan’s darlings.

They certainly didn’t make them like they used to, if he was ever graced with the role of leader he’d make damn sure they straightened up their acts. But fatherhood had softened him of course, so had his moons. ”Deerpaw, you waiting for someone?” His cold voice rang clear and his head tipped to one side.
