A harder lesson to teach was the art of climbing the trees; also a lesson often taught by Hawkbite, but the youngest of the enforcers had found a certain ease of movement after the initial lessons. But with an odd number youngins to teach (who was she kidding, some may be barely younger than her), Sleepysunrise had made the executive decision to take Rookfire with her, currently leading the group through the territory with the hopes that the latter was bringing up the rear. Considering she had played guard at his swimming lesson (and with her larger frame), she saw no issue in the other enforcer serving as an extra pair of eyes and cushion to break any falls. Besides, perhaps Rookfire could practice his own climbing later on, he had appeared a little shaky the last time. She wasn’t sure if she should try letting him up in the trees with the apprentices alone, in that regard… Well, they were going to be doing this one by one to begin with, anyway. They would see how the lesson unfolded.

Firepaw followed Sleepysunrises steps with a steady trot, keeping close to the warrior and admiring her sorroundings, taking in the scent of every inch of Shadowclan territory they padded across. Tree climbing, it was more of a Thunderclan-y skill by what she had heard, but there was no harm in learning it. Shadowclan also had plenty of trees (something had to give it its shade after all), and knowing how to make good use of them could proove very useful in the future, both for catching prey, avoiding danger... An for bird watching, which Firepaw admitts was the main reason she decided to take on this lesson. She could climb on a branch and sit right beside a bird if she was calm enough! Birds are such interesting little things. They dont have fur, their skin instead being protected by feathers, their bones are hollow to reduce their body weight and be able to fly better... And their wings! Oh dont let Firepaw get started on their wings! They have such intricate feather placements, and the birds use them to ride the wind with such precision that one might think that they were the one controling it!
But that would come later, now Firepaw needed to learn how to climb trees, and she was determined to do so, both for her future bird-watching endeavors and to make her field of knowledge as impresive as posible when time came for her to athempt her warrior assesment, and with both Sleepysunrise and Rookfire guiding the class, she was confident she was going to come out of the lesson an tree-climbing expert. The older apprentice quickened her pace to reach Sleepysunrise and started walking beside her "So, where are we heading right now?" Firepaw asked, maybe besides from learning a new skill, she could get to visit a new neat part of their territory!
