Silent hollows | battle training

[Estelle]

She always did believe mentors to be rather lacking, at least among the common warrior. None of warrior rank had ever been able to offer her adequate training even upon request; always too busy or no reaction, some would just stare at her and edge away she felt. Yellowtwist with the rank of guard had been an exception, and then came those who held the rank of enforcer, deputy and leader respectively, which made for all of her training. So it came as no surprise when these two, Hollowpaw and Silentpaw, lacked the ability to fight just as much - shocking, in fact, when her own sibling lacked that part of education. Sleepysunrise did not quite agree; it was an essential part to survival, and why she decided to take these three to the edges of camp (she should rather not stray far with many dangers and untrained apprentices on the lose) in order to begin their teachings. Turning around with an unsettling vibrant gaze resting upon the trio, she considered all of them for several moments; they seemed to be around the same age, bar one, she presumed their knowledge might be on par with each other, then.
"What do you know?"
Was her first question, a silent wondering in how far behind they exactly were and what they might be able or unable to apply to this lesson.

Silentpaw did not think much of a random training session. It happened, and he did not mind at all. It was useful, of course. And if he was being honest, he quite liked the extra training. What he didn't like, however, were questions. Questions that he could not answer with a shake of his head or a nod. Questions that required him to actually speak. And answer. It was dreadful. Not to mention, Sleepysunrise had decided to take ANOTHER apprentice. Great.

"Just a few front paw blows." He muttered, waving a paw in the air as to mimic the "move" Newtbelly had taught him.

➢ Black and white pelt following one of the same color, one much brighter (ugh), and another that was darker but without white. That was terrible to linger in the shadows with, Silentpaw....correct? Hollowpaw stays silent as she stays near the pair before stopping, she lingered in the rear and would remian there unless called upon.

The Apprentice lets the question trot through their mind like a deer in springtime searching for food. The Enforcer had been direct enough that it hadn't taken her long to process it in full. Hollowpaw's husky voice isn't above that of a whisper, "Nothing." Was that not obvious? They had begun training only a meeting ago, unlike that other pair. She had to be smaller than Silentpaw at the very least, Wispypaw on the other paw? Maybe they were the same size, Hollowpaw hadn't taken the time or energy to truly check. If they were sparing then that would be a later problem. she could evade them both if she had the disadvantage.

Why was it that they had to heavily rely on family to help with their training instead of their lazy mentor? Hell, not a single warrior in camp seemed remotely interested in giving them some training. Seemed only either family was willing to do so or some special rank cat, wasteful. That's okay, they'll rat them out to Grandma about their laziness. Those warriors might not want to put effort into helping the younger generation but they won't let it hold them back. Thank got they got most of their training done and this was one of the last ones they needed, how ironic. One better hope they hadn't hesitated to teach them just because they were blind, apparently their hunting wasn't proof enough that they weren't a liability. Wispypaw cringed when they recognized a certain scent nearby, uhh no thank you. Why did that silent menace have to be here, they'd rather it be just them and their sibling. "Nothing" was their simple reply, they hadn't been taught anything battle-related since their mentor had focused more on their other apprentice than their former one before vanishing.

Sleepysunrise
[ 13* moons | She / Her | Shc Enforcer | Shadow Fiend ]

A fresh batch, essentially. Sleepysunrise took a moment to blink after acknowledging Silentpaw's response with a subtle nod. There were some ways she could go about this, though with Silentpaw only knowing the front paw blow, she might as well start from the beginning. Well, this wasn't a beginner's class for nothing. She nodded to herself a stood, lowering into a well-practiced crouch with a wave of her tail and a glint within dull eyes;
"Watch."

She ordered the batch, her paw deftly cutting through the air and slamming into the ground, after which her other paw cut horizontally in a similar manner.
"Slam your paw down from above. On the head, back, across the face. Or swipe across any part, horizontally, claws unsheathed. Always keep moving. Move aside with a swift leap, a minute one. Don't let them too close when you're not ready."
She swiftly moved aside, showing a basic evasive manoeuvre in that manner before regaining her previous composure.
"Practice."
She told them; she didn't much mind whether it was on each other or nearby trees as long as they didn't get hurt.
