*pants a little bit* ok *crouches ready to pounced then pounced darting under her stomach then jumping on to her back clawing with shethed claws*

good good" she said aprovingly "but i may roll on my back so jump of then when i roll over" she instructen the apprentice before rolling over

ok*he said jumping out of the way*

very good, now leap onto my stomach land a blow and leap off, this will keep them wary of you in battle* she said still on her back

ok *jumps back on to her back and starts clawing at her back and neck* -sheathed claws-

she smiled and got up *Well done shadowpaw, you will be a warrior the clan will be proud of" she looked around before scratching a small itch behind her ear "Are you tired? do you need a small break?" she asked him, he was still young and would probably get tired faster than her

no im fine, whats next?

she thought for a second,"Hmmm, how about we learn to climb trees? it is a very important skill to learn when living amung trees and danger" she told him seriously

ok, so how do we climb trees? *he says running over to the nearest tree*

alright, do you see these little nichs in the bark? you use them as paw holds, what you do is leap into the tree like this "She leapt into the tree, using the small rough patchs as paw holds and dug her claws into them "Then you carefully put one back paw on another hold then the other then move your front paws the same way, you could also move front paws first it doesnt really matter, then you pull yourself up the tree using the paw holds" she said placing one paw carfully over the other untill she had pulled herself onto the lowest branch of the tree "Now you try it, dont worry if you fall you wont fall far or get hurt

ok*jumps up digging claws into the the spots in the tree, slowly pulling herself up almost sliping, then jumping up onto the branch with her mentor* was that good?

very good for your first try" she told him approvingly "just try not to slip because if you were higher up you might have fallen and that wouldnt be good"

ok

she smiles "Well thats cleared up, now how about you climb the rest of the way up, dont slip or fall but if you do i'll catch you" she called up to her apprentice

o-ok *she started to climb up the tree moving very carefully then jumping from branch to branch when they were close enough*w-w-wow thats a long way down, but i can see everything from up here its soooo cool! ok can i come down now?

yes"She called up" just leap down onto sturdy branches that look wide and strong enough to hold your weight" she said

ok * steadly jumps from branch to branch then leaped out of the tree* that was fun!

she smiled "Glad you think so, Climbing is a big part of lavaclan, living around trees and all" she said

ok! now what are going to do?

hmmmmm "She thought for a moment. She knew lavaclan had streams and if any waveclan cat tried to fight thier way out in the water she would have to know to swim "Lets try swimming now

ok, Moonember? do you think i'll become a warrior soon?

Yes, i think right after you learn to swim you will" she smiled at her apprentice "And i hope you use what i've taught you in your warrior days." she said

ok! so how do you swim?*walks close to the stream that runs throught the territory and dips paw in the cool water*

well. To get used to the water fast you jump it *Demonstrates by jumping in* and you kick your legs under you but in a rythem *She kicks right legs then left legs then right legs and so on* do you get it ?" she asked the apprentice

"I think so?"*jumps into the water and starts to kick, left ,right ,left ,right* "Like that?*
