"On your paws, Windpaw. You disgrace your name. Move with more urgency."
He wondered if he'd ever have the arrogance to name his next litter so boldly, after himself and after his clan and it occurred to him he had not had a say in the names of his last one; not that he was particularly bothered by that but the more he thought of it the more he felt annoyed. Coyotes were known to gnaw their own legs off to escape a trap, the tenacity to survive to such a degree was well-suited to WindClan but squirrels were simple prey animals. Perhaps it had been a sign of which of his offspring was worth the investment, in the end he got the one more worthy to survive and succeed while SkyClan got the meek little rodent. Life was funny like that.
Sootstar's temporary training would hopefully remove whatever residual stupidity the kittypet king's clan had forced into the boy's skull-he'd make a proper WindClanner in due time with training.
The blue tom shook his head, glancing down to his own apprentice who he felt was lacking but was not to abrasive as to say as much when their mother was always within a few tail-lengths away.
One solid shoulder shove had easily toppled the apprentice, he remembered training with his own father back in the marshes and was grateful when he got to keep most his fur on him by the end for how vicious Copper Bite was; he was showing a mercy here by not taking up his father's mantle and training as he was with tooth and claw and weakness ground into the earth.
"Let us try again, watch your footing."
