Standing amongst the sea of pine trees in between the glare of the sun was Owlheart and Hollypaw. She had lead the young skyclanner out here just as the sun passed that early morning rise, beyond dawn but not quite midday yet. She liked it like this, the lack of heat in the air and the lack of sun in her eyes. These colder moons are a favourite to the warrior, she doesn't enjoy it when the ground is blanketed in snow but those moons between the extreme heat and the extreme cold is rather enjoyable. She finds her focus is better without the weather impeding it but she can't always have ideal weather, hopefully Hollypaw is quite adaptable for the fluctuations in weather.
"We're going to have a mock assessment, to see where you're at in your apprenticeship" she explains in a gentle purr, smiling at the chimera as she looks up at the pine tree she picked out. Owlheart figured that the best way to see what Hollypaw needed to work on was to test him on all of his skills. She has no doubts that Dogbite was an excellent mentor to her, hoping that he gave her an excellent head start. There was concerns that she may not meet his level of expertiese since she's still new to being in such a role. The idea of a mock assessment is just as important to her, if she can gather an idea on how to help based on this then maybe she'll hold more confidence in their training.
"I want you to climb to the sixth branch and race back down, I'll be counting to see how quick you are. But I'm not just looking for speed okay?" she explains as she gestures to the pine. A smile gracing her maw as she settles on her haunches "when you're back we'll see how you are with hunting, then we can try sparring." While she didn't like sparring she thought that she was capable enough at it by now to confidentially be able to test his capabilities. "Feel free to start whenever you're ready okay?" This wasn't a real assessment after all so she wasn't trying to apply any pressure to the chimera.
