Closed Thread Silence in the Training Grounds

"Ah, yes! There's quite a lovely view of the territory from up here! Of course, I don't exactly want to spend the rest of my life looking over ThunderClan territory in a tree." She said, somewhat sarcastically. Looking down at Mistyleaf with a forced smile, Skyblossom leapt to a branch lower than the one she was lounging on, digging her claws in so as not to lose her footing.

"How's it looking down there, Mistyleaf?" Skyblossom called out, just curious to hear the she-cat's answer. Snickering at herself inwardly, she leapt to another branch, suddenly enjoying the way it felt to be so high up and almost, just almost, gliding through the air.

Well, that is, until she slipped and fell to the ground with a small thud. Thankfully she had gotten to a branch that wasn't quite as high, but it still hurt. Checking her claws to make sure she hadn't lost any, she noticed that one of them had a small tear in it. Dragging it against the tree to shorten and sharpen it, she almost forgot that Mistyleaf was watching her.

Great. Now she's seen me falling to my small doom of a slightly torn claw. That's somewhat embarrassing. Oh well. Every warrior has fallen out of a tree at least once, right? She thought, turning to look over at the silver torbie.

"I'm fine." Skyblossom said, looking away from Mistyleaf for a moment, slightly nervous since it felt like she was observing carefully. "See?" She continued, moving around to show the she-cat that she hadn't broken anything. "If anything I've only got a few scratches and bruises. I'll probably just be a little sore later. Though it is true that this is one of the best places to fall. If it weren't, I'm sure apprentices would get injured a lot more than they already do..." She finished, getting distracted from the slight stinging where the branches had scratched at her.

Looking down at herself and searching through her fur to make sure that the scratches weren't bleeding, she confirmed that the scratches had only effected a small layer of skin, with probably only a few that might start bleeding. Proud of herself for not hurting herself too badly, she swished her tail, her eyes lighting up with excitement and wonder. She wanted to jump back into the tree and climb more, despite the fact that she knew it was dangerous if one wasn't careful. Of course, she knew better than to do so, which is probably why she didn't scamper up a tree right then.

"What are you doing over here, Mistyleaf? Were you tasked with checking to see if the training grounds were safe, or did you just feel like spending some time around here?" She asked, hoping to turn the she-cat's attention away from the minor injuries she had sustained from the fall. If they were bad enough later she'd go to the medicine cats, but she was sure that she'd be fine.

"I'd go with you if I had the time, but I have to practice my battle moves and take some prey back to camp after that. Maybe I'll come next time, Mistyleaf. It was nice talking to you!" Skyblossom said, tilting her head slightly and smiling as she watched the silver torbie she-cat preparing herself to leave.

Not quite the interaction I was expecting, but it was still fun. Mistyleaf is a really diligent warrior, isn't she? One of these days I should ask her if she needs help with anything... Warrior duties can become hectic sometimes. She thought, flicking her tail as she turned back towards the trees, ready to climb up them again. The more she did it, the better she'd get, right?
