camp SHUT UP & DRIVE // spar

[splashdance]

( pls wait for @minkpaw !!! )

Snowypaw's tail quivers behind her. She's annoyed, to be frank - becoming a 'paw was supposed to mean so much, and yet here she is, still stuck in camp with many of her old companions. There wasn't even any joy in making her own nest in the apprentice's hut! StarClan, she may as well continued to curl up in Needledrift's nest and provided her mother warmth and comfort, if her Clanmates were going to treat her like an overgrown kitten. Her frustrations were echoed by many of her similarly aged Clanmates and siblings, but thus far none have done much about it (as if there's anything to do.) She spies one of the older apprentices, however, and an idea unfurls in her mind's eye.

Maybe... maybe if Chilledstar sees her win a spar, then they'll demand that Thistlesight bring her out in the territory at once! Maybe she can prove herself to be capable, just like those before her!!

"Hey! Minkpaw!" she shouts, a sudden noise to just about anyone around. She lifts an unsheathed paw towards the other, swiping at the air in between them, "Y'should fight with me! I can totally hold my own against you," Snowypaw suggests, before sticking her tongue between her teeth coyly, "Unless you're scared that I'll beat you up worse." She laughs after, poising herself in an unstable hunting crouch, "You're a bit skinny, so maybe I'll break you like a twig! Haha!!" That's what warriors did in fights, right? Antagonize their opponents for fun?​

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ A smile began to creep on her face when she heard Snowypaw challenge her. Sparring was Minkpaw's favorite part of being an apprentice. The rest of what being an apprentice entailed kind of sucked; training was boring, chores were worse, and she was still awful at hunting. It was only in sparring that she really had fun. In her opinion, she was also really good at it. Before the expression could resolve, however, she heard the rest of what the other apprentice had to say. All her elation was instantly replaced with outrage.

"WHA- YOU- HEY!!!" Her ears flattened back against her head, and she stamped her front paw in petulant rage. Minkpaw felt herself grow hot from all the nearby ears that had heard what Snowypaw just said about her. She fumbled for words, which only served to make her angrier. This apprentice, who was barely big enough to be out of the nursery, was making a fool out of her! (She purposefully ignored the thought that she was not that much bigger than Snowypaw, despite their difference in age.) It took her a moment to compose herself enough to speak, and when she did it came out in a low, hissing tone. "You wanna fight? Let's fight!" Without any more warning, Minkpaw flung herself at her opponent in an impulsive, uncoordinated attack.

[ ༻❄༺ ] Sparring, it was one way someone tests their skills and learn from another, to observe and learn from their clanmates or those who fair better in battle than another. Of course, thats how Snowpaw viewed it. Her spar with Applepaw had been fun, and she felt she had learned a lot from fighting Applepaw even if the outcome had been in the older apprentice's favor, Snowpaw still had learned from it.

Snowypaw's voice ringing through the air instigating a battle had cause Snowpaw to look over with interest. She had challenged Minkpaw, who was barely younger than Snowpaw herself but, 2 moons older than little Snowypaw. She hummed with interest, shifting over to watch while tucking her paws underneath her chest. It would be fun to observe the two especially with their level of training under their paws as is.

It seemed like every time she was tasked to do some chores, there was something far more interesting taking place. However, Thornpaw was hardly a few steps away when the two started going at it. Oh, jeez... Dropping off her catch to the pile and hightailing it away from the match. Mild surprise highlighted her muzzle and the older paw manages to weave a fair distance away from them. Immediately, she finds a very familiar pelt, and eagerly takes to her friends side. Softly aiming to brush their pelts as her gaze trained on Snowypaw and Minkpaw. This session seemed far more uncoordinated if not a bit heated. Though the barbary she-cat felt no inclination to intervene. For now she would sit back and see how things would play out and enjoy the company of her denmate.​
