| BRISTLEPAW  ShoreClan Apprentice - he/they
Bristlepaw had been in and out of camp all morning. It was a short jaunt out to the copse of low. scrubby pines that appeared to be permanently bent double by the cruel ocean wind. The apprentice clutched their latest acquisition gingerly in their teeth, the resinous fragrance filling their mouth. He crouched and deposited it in the same stone depression where he'd been gathering the other scaly brown pinecones since dawn. Bristlepaw cocked their head and took stock. That should be enough.
His leg didn't hurt, often, but the long moon and a half of recovery had left it feeling weak. He'd done all the recommended exercises, but on hunts and patrols, he still felt a reluctance to trust it with his weight. Those moments of hesitation had cost him prey and slowed him in spars. Bristlepaw needed to relearn how to act fast and fluidly.
And the lowest-stakes (and most fun) way to train that confidence back was with a game.
"Hey, Luminouspaw!" they called to another apprentice across camp, waving their tail. "Catch!" Quick as a minnow, his paw flashed out to bat a pinecone across to her.

 [attr="class","impress"] [attr="class","me"] [attr="class","bang"]249 words [attr="class","bang"]oop [attr="class","Revolution"][attr="class",rise"] ❝ It was another old day in Shoreclan. Her mentor had gone on about needing to get things done and how she should be helping, but honestly - she didn’t want to. The grey and white she-cat had made her way around the territory and brought back a mouse, but mostly she had been out just collecting little sticks and stones to build with. She was sure someone would scold her when they found her little stash, but until then it would serve as the perfect distraction from her ‘tasks’. However she had returned to camp and made haste to return to the apprentice’s den. Hiding away from having to deal with another long winded rant from an older cat, she had taken to just peacefully rearranging ehr nest and decorating it with some of the sticks she had brought back. Pleased with her decorating her tail swayed behind her happily as she stepped from the entrance into the main cave. “Hey, Luminouspaw. Catch!”A familiar voice caused her to jump slightly as she turned her green eyes to the source, the brown tabby known as Bristlepaw. She blinked once in surprise before the brown shape came hurtling through the air towards her. Jumping back a bit it hit the ground before it kept going. Reflectively, Luminouspaw swatted the brown thing back in the air towards the other apprentice. As it flew she realized she recognized the object. It was a pinecone! “I won’t let you win that easily!” [newclass=.Revolution]width:240px;height:280px; overflow: auto; font: 10px Open Sans; text-align: justify; color: #f5f5f5; float: right; [/newclass][newclass=.impress]width: 180px; height: 270px; border: 5px solid #dd5454; background-image: url('https://i.pinimg.com/originals/46/da/8f/46da8f0e90bb4898e9b9a917f428a5ec.jpg'); float: left; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;transition: 0.3s all ease; transition-delay: 1s; overflow: hidden;[/newclass][newclass=.impress:hover]width: 180px; height: 270px; border: 5px solid #ffffff; background-image: url("https://i.pinimg.com/originals/46/da/8f/46da8f0e90bb4898e9b9a917f428a5ec.jpg");filter: grayscale(100%);-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);-moz-filter: grayscale(100%);float: left; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;transition: 0.3s all-ease; -webkit-transition: 0.3s all;[/newclass] [newclass=.impress:hover .me]transition:1s;margin-top:0px;[/newclass][googlefont=Monteserrat][googlefont=Open+Sans][newclass=.me]background-color:rgba(69, 69, 69, 0.8); font: bold 8px calibri; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 1px;text-align: left; color:#fff;padding:10px;margin-top:270px;width:160px;transition:1s; height: 270px;[/newclass][newclass=.bang]width: 120px; background-color: #242424; border: 1px solid #9e9e9e; float: center; margin: 10px; padding: 5px;[/newclass] [newclass=.rise::-webkit-scrollbar]width: 5px;background-color: #dd5454;border:solid 2px #535353;[/newclass] [newclass=.rise::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:vertical]background-color: #dd5454;border: 5px solid #dd5454;[/newclass] » 27 • she/her • canadian « » characters « » discord;; desolatedsith#5006 « |

They hadn't been sure how the game would be received, so Bristlepaw's tail curled with delight to see Luminouspaw leap in so readily.
The pinecone came whizzing back, fast. He realized belatedly that he was already too far away to catch it—Should have been in motion already—but made an attempt regardless. Rearing onto their hind legs, Bristlepaw lunged after the projectile. They caught themselves on their good left front paw and swatted optimistically with their right, but it flew past their outstretched claws to crunch against the cavern wall.
"Good one! You were more ready than I was!" He bounded back to the little pit of pinecones and hooked out a second one. Giving Luminouspaw a moment to ready herself, he took a step back before he shooting forward and swiping the cone into the air.
