Coldgaze, Bloomfire, any Riverclan warriors and any Riverclan apprentices.
Battle Training for Riverclan Warriors (and a personal conversation between Coldgaze and Bloomfire)
A protected sanddune hollow out on the floodplains of Riverclan.

Coldgaze had spent the morning chasing around some of the apprentices and warriors of Riverclan, informing them that he would be seeing them in the afternoon for a 'chat'. Boldstar and him could bicker all they wanted. But the scar on his head was proof enough that Riverclan needed some practice - and polish - to their claws.
"Warriors. Apprentices." He dipped his head at the sandy bank where he had called the cats to. "I appreciate your time." His tail flicked, not quite used to having to address this many cats in such a informal setting.
"You all have noticed my... wound." There wasn't much beating around it. The frozen droplets he has traipsed into camp remained for a few days - and Nettleplume has ordered him on bedrest for at least a week afterwards.
"Riverclan faces threats - from other clans, but also from beyond." He stared down his clanmates. "None can make the mistake of underestimating such opponents. Battle training is of upmost importance, especially with the little time we have afforded to us."
Hopping down from his perch, he slowly began divying up the cats present for one-on-one combat training. "Sheathed claws only. But no mercy." He didn't much care about fighting fairly as winning in this case.

It wasn’t hard to notice when Coldgaze had returned to camp with a wound on his head, but Goosesong didn’t give him too much grace for it. Coldgaze was a deputy adept to caring for himself and the needs of the clan, so interfering where he wasn’t needed wouldn’t have been productive.
He listened closely to Coldgaze’s wording, how he shifted around the idea of his wound being focused on, so Goosesong didn’t really pay a lot of attention. So it was battle training that he sought after? Very well, Goosesong thought to himself twitching his feathery plumed tail in thought before stepping forward toward, his paws stepping firmly against the cold earth
"If I may, I’d like to go first.” He spoke, voice steady and firm as always "It would be a learning experience for Stormpaw and her littermates, not just from me, but from you as well" Goosesong added, keeping his form sturdy, his large figure akin to Boldstar’s size but only about an ear tuft smaller. "Claws will be sheathed of course" he stated, taking a quick glance at his paws, the claws hidden beneath their sheathes

Not in the mood for a fight (even though Bloomfire was usually one to greatly enjoy them), the sleek she-cat wound her way behind a few of her clanmates, trailing at the back of the group as they made their way towards a hollow. Battle training was a great idea, but Bloomfire did not need it. She knew she wasn't unstoppable, but if forced against one of Boldstar's kits you would be able to tell the winner before the spar even started. She would show no mercy, for it was pointless taking her out here. She came along hoping she could get a grasp on how her clanmates were travelling, as after all - she would never support a battle in which her clanmates were not capable of fighting.
Coldgaze's wound was a new addition to his various scars, adding to his already slightly unappealing appearance. While Bloomfire did love a good fight, her pelt was almost perfectly clean and scarless. At even the smallest injury she was at Willowfrost's den, asking for a bunch of herbs so it would heal quicker. Looks were a must for Bloomfire, despite the fact that no amount of grooming could quench its natural ruggedness. She sat towards the back, plumed tail flicking from side to side as her gaze was trained on Coldgaze.
