Bunnypaw bounced up to newtbelly. Tail up and eyes beaming. The Enforcers kid was a bit of an energy hassle, and he was extremely excited! "Newt newt newt newt! Can you give me some battle training?!"

Newtbelly stretched his legs out - it was an alright day out. Not too hot, not too cold. The sky was dappled in cloud. The perfect day for a good, long hunt. He was about to get walking when - isn't this the kid Owlthroat was watching over during the enforcer challenge? Looked like he'd gone and adopted another one, hadn't he? Bunnypaw, if he remembered correctly. Strange name for a ShadowClan cat, but he couldn't say much as Newtbelly. He could be head of the silly names committee - yeah yeah, he knew it was 'cus of the white belly. It was the final thing that made his pelt so newt-like, but still.

He supposed that put his hunting plans to a halt, but he wasn't really bothered. He was more than happy to lend a paw in training. "Sure kid," he responded, monotone as usual, but perhaps there was the smallest tiniest tinge of kindness in his voice. He was getting used to training apprentices by now, and wasn't this one a bundle of energy? Even more so than Venompaw. "C'mon then," he beckoned with his tail, and led the way into the territory.

"Have you had any battle training yet, or will this be your first session?" He asked with a head tilt. Bunnypaw's answer would drastically change the session - after all, a basics session normally ended with a spar, whilst an advanced one started with a spar.

Bunny was practically vibrating on his paws, beaming with excitement. Papa owls own Apprentice was gonna train himmm! Oh thus was gonna be greatest! He was gonna have so much fun and gonna destroy everything! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

"I don't have any training, i only know stuff from papa owls and from my parents before they tried to kill me, but I wanna learn ALLLL of it! Basics, Advanced, all of it! Don't go easy on me!" Bunnypaw grinned, the scarred apprentice beamed, he still completely didn't understand the fact that his parents trying to kill him was not okay.

"Cmonn tecah me all the moves! I wanna be as cool as you and fight!"

Papa Owls - well, that confirmed any suspicions in an instant. And - what?! Newtbelly blinked in disbelief as the apprentice, very offpawdly, mentioned that his parent's tried to kill him. Honestly, every time Newtbelly thought his own family problems were peculiar, another ShadowClanner was there to one up them. This clan was absolutely brimming with parental issues. Good job Owlthroat was there to stand in. Well - at least Bunnypaw didn't seem too phased. He really wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Still, Bunnypaw's enthusiasm for everything was contagious. "Alright, well you've gotta start with the basics, you know," he went to bap the apprentice on the head lightly, as they arrived at their destination: the pine forest. He didn't go too far from camp, only a couple minute's journey really. "Alright, show me your best battle stance." He started. "You wanna look big and scary, but you also need to be able to move at a moment's notice, got it?" Newtbelly demonstrated his own stance as an example, knees slightly bent and ready to move, head at shoulder height, tail tucked away.

Bunnypaw's ears perked as Newtbelly gently bapped his head, the lean apprentice giggled as he trotted along, pausing when the Enforcer did. Bunny quickly dropped into his fighting stance, tail tucked, ears flattened, claws unsheathed and the fur on his spine slightly puffed.

"how's this?" The tall Apprentice looked almost twice his size in his battle stance, teeth bared and claws unsheathed, ready to maim. He just hoped Newtbelly thought it was okay.. if not- well-

Nevermind that wouldn't happen!

Newtbelly gave the apprentice's form a look over, but couldn't find anything wrong with it - great for a first try. Never mind that, it was pretty great in general. "That's it," he nodded. "As you learn more, your stance'll adapt to your fighting style. For instance, your fathers probably stand quite tall, because they're big and muscular, whilst I keep myself a bit lower, so it's easy to sneak about, understand?" The calico explained, before going onto the next bit of practical training. "Now let's try some basic swipes and hits."

Newtbelly demonstrated a forepaw blow first, lifting his paw high in the air and smacking it down. Then, a forepaw slash - claws slashing through the air with speed and power. "That's a forepaw blow, and a forepaw slash. Give them both a try - pretend there's an enemy in front of you."

Bunnypaw's eyes brightened at the encouraging words. So living on his own.. and- listening to it- worked. Interesting! The lean, young apprentice's gaze looked forward, pupils slitting as it stood infront of him, smiling.

Good..Aim for me, don't just go for one swipe, use a flurry like I've taught you. Bunnypaw grumbled to himself 'I know what you taught me' but he obeyed, lungingbforward with a flurry of forward swipes and slashes, claws flaying the air in a ravaging battle against a false enemy.

Well done little rabbit. It smiled at him, a cruel, malicious smile. Bunnypaw shivered but looked at Newtbelly, ears perked.

Bunnypaw got into action almost instantly, and Newtbelly was impressed to say the least. A whole flurry of strikes and hits - how did that idea even cross his mind? Perhaps he'd played battle a lot as a kit? Stealth always came quite naturally to Newtbelly, perhaps that's how battle was to Bunnypaw. "Good. That was clever to use multiple swipes." He responded, quite obviously impressed by the apprentice's performance. "Remember, though, in a real battle, you'll want to dodge away too, so you might not have much time to get so many hits in." The calico explained. It didn't seem like it would be much of a problem for the speedy little cat, but it was always better to be safe than sorry.

"Now that you've had a go at the basics, it's time to put them into action," he began, "So, let's spar." He was interested to see what Bunnypaw came out with after that showing. He was proving to be quite the unpredictable cat. "Come at me, no claws of course."

Bunnypaw shivered as he looked at Newtbelly, something in those glazed, unpredictable eyes said he knew all to well what battle was like. Newt didn't need to know, all that mattered was that his father's knew what happened and that Dawnstar saved him. Newt didn't need to know that he was forced into brutal training the moment he could open his eyes, and when he messed up, his own parents tried to kill him. Their only son.

Don't get distracted little rabbit. Remember the Enforcer challenge. Aim for the spots the false blind molly hit. Bunykit's golden eyes shifted to the rough looking shoulder scar, zipping forward to hit his shoulder as he would with his claws. He missed this honestly, missed the thrill of predators becoming prey.

Bunnypaw zipped forward without a word, aiming for his shoulder - was that tactical? Was he going for his scars? Was this kid gifted? His new Dad would certainly be impressed, Newtbelly would make sure to report back to Owlthroat, if Bunnypaw didn’t himself. Still, the calico was too experienced to allow that one to hit. He ducked to the side, the apprentice’s paw narrowly missing his shoulder.

From there, he’d lash out his left paw, toward Bunnypaw’s face - a feint. It was a good thing to teach practically. Simply explaining could only do so much - showing Bunnypaw a feint in practise would give him a true under of its potential. Plus, he’d learn to look out for them. He’d be particularly impressed if Bunnypaw it out. Before his left paw got close enough, he reached for Bunnypaw’s ankles with his right paw.
