His assumption was correct. Grottopaw flexed his back claws in and out once before rolling back into a more upright position to listen. He watched her explanations and demonstrations unblinkingly, as if trying to drink everything in through his eyes alone. Moving quickly... might be a problem for him. He wasn't as lanky as other cats were. Didn't have the speed to match them. His size might make sharp movements less feasible. But the brute force, he could get behind. He eyed Hazycry's scruff for a moment, trying to imagine shaking her harshly from side-to-side, then hurling her away so that he could land another heavy blow between the eyes before she had the chance to stand back up again. Envision, memorize, stash away for later.
He nodded once to himself and extended his front claws. "Between the eyes. What would happen if I struck someone there with my claws out instead? Would that be as effective?"

MOSSTANGLE
Shadowclan Enforcer | 21 moons | Large, dark brown-and-white tabby she-cat with green eyes
~~~
Mosstangle stretched out in the clearing, eyes scanning. The enforcer was feeling far better now that time had passed since the fight. It was good to be back at everything again. She took a moment to groom her pelt as she debated on what to do next. Perhaps she would poke her head into the apprentice den and see if any apprentices wanted an extra lesson or two. Or, perhaps she could get some more training in with one of the other enforcers. It might be a good idea to sit and talk with Hawkbite, too. It might not have been a long list of things she needed to do, but she was a bit torn between which one, first. She was definitely leaning towards pulling a couple apprentices out of their den and bringing them out to do something.

Dawnstar listened to the apprentice's attempt at an apology but watched over Sleepysunrise, who got out of the hole with no problems. She made getting up the stick look easier than the apprentices, but she could climb. Once she was up and free, Dawnstar gave her full attention to Houndpaw and Ashpaw.
"Sorry won't fix this hole you've made." She growled at her son and the apprentice. "I've told you time and time again to stop digging in the camp. I don't like being disobeyed, Houndpaw." She doesn't think she'd told Ashpaw not to dig. She didn't even know that he liked to dig, but Houndpaw must have made it look fun.
"Look at this mess you've made in front of the medicine den and of the camp." Dawnstar was pinning most of the blame on Houndpaw. Aside from the fact that he was older, he knew better. "Since you dug the hole, you can fix it. Ashpaw can help you. I want this hole filled and stable, but you can't make any new holes in camp. I don't care where you get the dirt, but if you make any more holes in camp, you two will be spending a lot of time in the nursery." Dawnstar warned and turned away from the pair.
[ Houndpaw and Ashpaw must have at least three posts with 50 words made, showing their progress filling in the hole by June 27, or they'll face further punishment. Houndpaw and Ashpaw have to respond in the leader's den with three links to their work posts on the 27th or before, or the punishment will count as incomplete.]
"ShadowClan, listen well. My foolish son and Ashpaw have dug a hole in front of the medicine den. Until they've filled it in, all cats in need of the medicine den will have to use the tunnel in my den. I want no cats around the hole, and anyone who falls in it will expect a punishment from me. The hole is not to be played in or around." The she-cat makes the announcement brief.
"Houndpaw and Ashpaw, you two can have the warriors and apprentices help you bring in anything you may need from outside of camp, but it's up to you two to figure out how to fix this mess you made. This will be your punishment. I do not want anything in camp dug up, and don't even think about touching the tunnels. That means you, too, Sleepysunrise. You can help supervise them, but nothing more." She tells her overly curious granddaughter.
[Quick little announcement about the big hole in front of the medicine den. It's deep enough that cats will likely need help climbing out of it.]

•·.·''·.·•A shame...Bramblethorn watched the interaction a bit late, but it seemed there was now a hole ... Where did they even learn such digging skills? Possibly not from a windclanner...oh dear...thank goodness Petelpaw wasn't apart of this.•·.·''·.·

Well, that was insulting. As if he'd ever hurt one of his Clanmates like that. Not unless they deserved it, of course. Grottopaw masked his displeasure with another nod of acknowledgement. More damage, claws unsheathed. Simply stun, keep them in. Maybe knock their senses out and then go for the eyes when they were disoriented... hm. He wondered if Mother could find him a rogue to practice on later.
His ears twitched at the mention of a spar, and he zoned right back in with a quick, "Yes."

See. He was bored. This is why he hated not having anything to do. Despised even. He has no time to waste, so what now? TigerNight sat in thought for a moment with his tail swaying behind him before getting to his paws. At the least, he could go for a hunt. Maybe bring another cat? Yes- yes he could do that. 2 hunters could be better than one. “Any cat who wants to go hunting with me, c’mere. Just taking a quick n’ casual hunt. Preferably less than 3 cats,” he huffed, and looked to the camp exit impatiently. Preferably only one, who knows the ruckus too many cats would make.
