Walking towards a clear area, Glaretail took his position in a dodging position, and raised his eyebrows, whispering, "Your move"

(PLEASE TAKE DAWNSTAR'S POWERPLAYING TO MIND)

Goldenclaw didn't respond, instead immediately throwing himself at the other warrior, hoping to throw him off balance.

Brokenbranch merely nodded, dropping into a defensive crouch. He'd merely wait to see what his opponent had in store.

Toadstripe held his breath during the announcements, he couldn't care less if he was selected, and he knew Owlspots could hold her own, but he was worried about his kits and his apprentice. They had grown into wonderful cats, but he would always worry about his kits. One group, then the next. There was his name, that wasn't necessarily a surprise.

He waited, ears pricked for his kits names, none were called. Toadstripe let out his breath and padded to his competitor. Toadstripe was a large muscular tabby, so he wasn't all that worried, he considered himself a pretty good fighter.

Dipping his head respectfully Pikejaw he dragged a paw over his ear and prepared to the coming battle. "Goodluck", was all he said.

@Undertaker Ravenpaw showed up to watch

Ravenpaw walked through the woods. They didn't really care about who was fighting or why, but they just wanted to see some fur fly and blood spilled. They bounced up onto a low hanging branch on the outside of the battlefield to get themselves out of the way. Cowards fighting cowards? This would be interesting. Not terribly fun to watch, or that bloody, but interesting.

Group 19

Sootshadow didn’t mind Ebonyfangs silence, infact he would feel better if the two didn’t know each other well, this way he would hold no loyalty towards the past medicine cat. Instead he turned towards Dawnstar, waiting to here more about how this was meant to go down

.

“Should we simply start?” He asked.

Sensing the attack almost, Glaretail staggered to the side but quickly had his balence restored. Unseathing his claws, Glaretail slashed the cat on his chest area, hard enough so that hopefully, he would stagger like Glaretail had.

[ #6 - sedgeshade - shadowclan warrior ]

> @Tuftleap lightleaf [ open for interaction ]

The tom had just barely composed himself when a meow, just off to the side of his field of view, made him hiss and whirl around- not an aggressive cat, no, Sedgeshade was much more the verbal biter, but the stress of the situation had gotten to him very easily. The cream cat’s face fell, seeming to furiously debate between an apology and a scathing remark before settling on the simplest of simple, strained replies. “I’m. Yes. I’m Sedgeshade.” He muttered, clearly having hissed out of surprise, but not without a notably sharp edge to his tone. The warrior considered asking the molly in kind, but it seemed less talking would serve him better. Less distraction, less opportunity to unintentionally light his clanmate up with a poorly worded comment and get his own short pelt shredded.
What should he say? That he was ready? The stance that Sedgeshade hadn’t bothered to move from, freshly turned and defensive, seemed like notice enough that he knew exactly where this was headed; best to get it over with without any fluff, as calming his nerves with chat would bring him on even more of an emotional rollercoaster than this day had already been once the sparring started.
So, all the cat did was narrow his eyes, hackles raised but expression even while staring down the she-cat.

[ #7 - pikejaw - shadowclan warrior ]

> @Fawnhearted toadstripe [ open for interaction ]

Inquisitive at first, the young tom’s gradual realization of his predicament seemed to set in as the brawny cat approached him. At first, not focusing on who it was, it was easy to think about the possibility that Toadstripe was elsewhere; once it was clear the other tom was making a beeline, though, he felt a slight shiver roll down his spine. Though he wasn’t nervous enough to appear as such, Toadstripe certainly wasn’t the cat he wanted to see in such a situation- others who would be more evenly matched would be ideal, but he was a warrior! He could handle it! Eh, well, at least Dawnstar didn’t want brutality. He would be safe, possibly scathed, but safe. Dawnstar was strict enough, nobody would dare go so openly against her wishes, right? Right. Yes. Right.
Once the other nodded in acknowledgement, Pikejaw dipped his head in turn. “You as well.”
As calmly as the tabby had delivered his reply, he did find himself wondering where the next step would come into play. It was clear, without even needing to look, that many a cat had started the brawl already; should they count down? Simply go at it? His clanmate seemed like a courteous type, perhaps they’d be able to manage something more controlled and productive than the senselessness others seemed to display.

“Ok” Lightleaf seemed unfazed by the cat’s suprise, “Shall we start sparring then?”

Seeming rude certainly wouldn’t get the tom far in this situation, and yet he ended up giving nothing short of a growl of a reply back to his clanmate. “I’d assume so.”
The instantaneous regret at escalating the situation would do nothing to undo how he said it, so despite Sedgeshade’s endless annoyance with his own talent of making things worse for himself, the tom did nothing to rescind the remark. Beneath his light pelt, the warrior’s muscles tensed up, steadying him in the event that Lightleaf made an especially sudden first move. He was much more a defensive fighter- (well, not a ‘fighter’ at all as he certainly got no enjoyment out of it)- so it was very unlikely he would dare start and risk exposing anything he didn’t want the she-cat to claw at.
Oddly silent, for a cat who seemed to be addicted to useless bickering, all Sedgeshade seemed to do was continue to stare the other warrior down in wait.
