The only thing that was free from this was one of his front paws -though too busy worrying that he was not sure which front paw. There could be a couple ways to get out of this while using one paw. But in Cricketsting’s mind, he needed to think fast! He slammed his paw to the ground and repeated the motion again and again, yowling words that sounded like “Uncle! Uncle!”

Lizardfrost had no idea which uncle he was referring to, but assumed this was some sort of surrender and stepped back, letting the tom breathe

The weight! It is finally gone!

Cricketsting brought his head up from the sand and coughed up some dust. He pulled himself up, glaring at Lizardfrost. The cream warrior forced his fur to lie flat and end his glare, telling himself that it is all part of training. “Good job!” he meowed, a hiss at the end.

Lizardfrost had the social insight of a rock and absolutely could not tell that Cricketsting was salty about this.

"Thank you." she replied, relaxed as ever, and sat down, tail curled around her feet.

The dusty Cricketsting stretched his hindlegs, then arched himself so he could stretch his whole torso. Looking back at a relaxed Lizardfrost, Cricketsting thought of some puns, but he had already done an ice pun with Gingerfrost, and couldn’t find any lizard-related puns at the moment. Groaning at how he lost at sparring and his ability of making jokes, the cream tabby resorted to conversation.

“So,” he started awkwardly, like a kit talking to an elder for the first time. “Why do you want to spar in the first place?” The tomcat knew that practice makes perfect, but rarely had he seen warriors practice fighting with other warriors.

The muscular she-cat was a little disappointed that her spar had been so short. Perhaps she'd require a hardier opponent.

"I presume you were not at the last gathering. Or weren't paying attention. I was challenged to a duel to the death. Naturally, I need to prepare." she responded calmly.

The cream tom’s ears twitched with discomfort, remembering back to Last Gathering. His ears soon flattened themselves to his head in enjoyment as he remembered making jokes with Littlepaw. A smile crept onto his face, but soon disappeared on his maw as he heard Lizardfrost mentioned about a what now?

“A duel to the death?” Cricketsting gasped. He was shocked as he realized that he was preparing his clanmate for a fight that could kill her, but more surprised at the fact that the other warrior was calm while literally talking about a challenge that can kill her. “You know, you don’t have to accept the challenge,” he tried to reason, eyes squinted and sparkled with concern. Was she not worried about the duel at all? Did she have confidence in herself? If so, is it enough to not kill her?

Lizardfrost shook her head. She could not let her clan be dishonored because of cowardice.

"I'm afraid I have to, for my honor and that of RiverClan. I'm not sure about the outcome, but there is nothing I can do but do my best."

(Lmao the duel already happened)

Cricketsting wanted to yowl at the she-cat, telling her that a death duel is not worth keeping honor for both for her and RiverClan. The fact that Lizardfrost even mentioned that the outcome is unknown! She might as well go greet herself to some venomous snakes after her death duel!

At the end though, the cream tom decided against it. As soon as he stopped his arguing energy, his eyes became heavy and his body felt stiff. Nonetheless, his stomach churned. He was fearful that his bold clanmate would get herself killed in the duel. It finally stopped as he started to pad away. “I wish you luck, then…” Cricketsting stopped, his dumb mind wanting to do something. With no tone of silliness, he meowed, “Make sure to stay cool during the duel.” Hating himself for the joke, he walked away.

(lol, ik. I want to give Cricketsting some emotion. Also I read the duel and I love it! )
