Maybe fighting wouldn't be something Shellpaw was ever a master at, or something she openly enjoyed, but when Whitewolf approached and made a crack about her using her head, the young calico couldn't help but enjoy the moment. Training with the white warrior was hard, he pushed her in ways she had never imagined, but he did it with good intentions. Sometimes his methods clashed with her natural inability or she simply struggled to follow in his pawsteps when she needed to walk her own path...either way this was a huge learning experience for both of them. Whitewolf wasn't perfect and Shellpaw certainly wasn't. She was clumsy and a bit silly, maybe not the most serious warrior RiverClan had ever seen but when she could hear her mentor's voice lighten up with amusement she knew she'd done well.
"It works a lot better on Lionpaw," Shellpaw protested, grinning at her usually grumpy mentor. "He never sees it coming...even though I've done it before."
Bounding across the short gap between herself and Whitewolf, Shellpaw bumped her shoulder against his leg in passing. The height difference between the pair was astounding. Shellpaw vaguely wondered if she'd ever be nearly as big as her mentor. Lionpaw might but he'd always been the biggest in their litter, both in size and ego. Pushing thoughts of her silly brother aside, Shellpaw bumped her head against Whitewolf's muscular shoulder as she passed, padding higher up the bank so she didn't get sent tumbling into the river by accident. That was the last thing she needed: another near drowning experience.
"Come on Whitewolf, I want to try again," Shellpaw meowed over her shoulder. "I think I can do better." Wheeling around, paws sliding a bit on the sand underfoot, the young calico faced her mentor again. Her green eyes gleamed with mischief and a smile curled on her lips. She'd figure out this whole fighting thing if it killed her (and it might) but at least she was in good company while she did it.
