Crookedheart watched his apprentice as she readied herself to pin him. He braced himself for the impact, and an 'oof' escaped his lungs as he was thrown to his side from her pounce. The tom couldn't help but chuckle a bit at how easily his weight was tossed to its side by the young apprentice. "You must be very careful at this point." he informed her, suddenly serious. "You may have plans to pin and rake, but remember that your opponent may be just as inclined to do the same. Be quick." For now, he'd not retaliate. Eventually, he'd expect her to beat him to the draw in such a case, as he would be using the techniques in return. He may be stronger, but she should be faster. That's what gives her an advantage over an older cat, and what could save her life in the event of a rouge or loner attack.

[[ Merp. Read the rules, though. It would have been relatively easy to skim the pages and see what has happened. Recaps should only really be requested if entirely necessary.

Softpaw knew that she would indeed have to be quicker, rouges weren't going to wait for her to figure out how best to go about attacking them and they would just as easily slice her belly as she would theirs. Now that she had an understanding of how to pin another cat down, she believed she'd be a lot quicker about it, moving as if her life depended on it. And one day it may. "So you want me to try again, and be a little quicker this time? she asked, so she'd know ahead of time what to do. It was quite fun, learning techniques like these and they could later save her life.

Crookedheart gave her a nod, pulling himself from her grip and padding a short ways away to get into position for her to have another go at pinning. "The belly rake should come naturally to you." he told her. "Feel free to attempt the motion when you pin me again. But... with claws sheathed, if you would be so kind." Crookedheart chuckled, once more. He had found that speaking with and mentoring Softpaw was quite easy. It was social interactions with OTHER cats he was not particulalry good at.

This time, Softpaw was ready to do it right. She trotted over to her original position as if to restart but before she even got there she crouched and sprinted across the ground. Her legs were just a blur as she rounded Crookedheart on the right side and pounced on her mentor. She knew that since she was just beginning she wouldn't have to worry about him striking back but she got ready for it anyways. She knocked the tom over and pinned him to the ground. Softpaw raised one paw off her mentor and swiped it swiftly down his belly, with her claws sheathed.

The tom nodded with a smile of approval. "And with that, the tide of battle could easily have been shifted in your favor." he purred. "This is a valuable fighting technique. It never loses it usefullness no matter how old you get." Rising to his paws, Crookedheart shook his fur. His slick, black pelt absorbed the sun's rays like a solar magnet. He decided that on a day like this, perhaps the glade was NOT the best place to train. Regardless, he showed very little sign of the heat bothering him, flashing Softpaw a gentle smile. "Now, would you like to continue training? We could always take a hunting break, if you'd like."

[[ This will be my last post for now. I'll not be posting much tomorrow... college classes start and I have to go to work. x.x

Softpaw sat down and stroke her fur with her pink tounge. It was a scorcher in the glade and her thick fur didn't make matters any better. She looked at her mentor when he mentioned hunting break. A hunting break sounds nice, but what I'd much rather have is a water break she said as she flopped down. She wasn't tired at all, she could go on all day training, but all that pouncing and crouching had left her dehydrated, and left her with a slight ill temper. Despite the circumstances, she still tried to make the best of things, happy that her mentor had praised her work.

([ Same here, I have to get ready for school tomorrow so I wont be posting as much.])
