Crouched next to a fallen oak tree, a drop of blood dripped from his cheek to the ground, landing with a soft dripping noise. His tail was wagging back and forth, while his chocolate gaze was narrowed and staring at the cat before him.
"You're too slow." The giant tabby, eyes dripping black and gold, stood before him shaking her paw distastefully. Sweetoak had become active again... Especially when the hidden fear of herself fading seemed to grow. With this cat here, maybe it could bring some of her back. Either way, they made a little deal: Meet at night, and train till the sun licks the horizon. Fail to come... And the forest will devour your soul.
In all honesty, Halfpaw was unsure of what that meant, but if it could protect his clanmates, his younger siblings, his... Ill mother.. then he would train until his bones collasped under him. And, even then, he'd continue to work.
Focusing back on the training, Halfpaw suddenly sprung up, however not aiming for her. Instead he riccocheted his feet off a nearby tree, before tackling her with exposed claws and a snarl. He hadn't realized too much what he'd done, he just felt it become instinct and the disgust fade away from the darkness of this place.
However, he didn't think smart enough. Suddenly, the dark forest queen slammed a hind leg into his gut, and he went tumbling back. "Too slow." She hissed, her tail whipping back and forth while her eyes narrowed.
