Windstrider was conflicted on their assignment to Moorpaw's mentor. Not that it'd show on the outside -- their facade was a dutiful, excited young teacher, who wanted more than anything to ensure the success of their younger sibling. Their first reaction had been to pull away from this duty, to shirk it for the first time in their life, but the idea of Sootstar's disappointed expression powered them to lead Moorpaw onto the fields.
Looking over their shoulder to ensure she was coming, they gained a bit of speed, going from a walk to a trot. As they did, Windstrider began to explain, "Running is important. It is a crucial part of being a moor runner. But knowing how to fight is equally so." The sun was beginning to increase in strength, a full reminder newleaf had begun. Thankfully, Moorpaw would begin her apprenticeship in an era where hunger left the scene to make way for prosperity. But, with the recent strife with RiverClan, it would also be a dangerous time where combat became a needed part of the curriculum.
They paused in front of an open area, scanning the ground for any rocks or roots that would hinder the lesson. It didn't matter much if they found any, in the end; no enemies would give a shit if there were tree knobs in the way. Windstrider thought of their own sessions, a relentless Juniperfrost observing them at all times. Should they be as harsh as him? Circling, they came to stand in front of Moorpaw. "I want you to be prepared for that, especially now."
"So first, let's go over some basic moves. Then we can go check out the rest of the territory."
