A memory flashed through her mind of, long ago, on her first trip out of the nursery, Rainbird had done the same thing to her. But she had learned since then. Snowpaw shifted her weight every time Redfrond moved so she was balanced and carefully nipped the back of his scruff.
He smirked, then body slammed into the ground, crushing her between himself and the ground. "Its about pinning, not nipping." He told her gently, as he let his full body weight sink on her
Snowpaw felt all the breath leave her chest and she gasped for air while still struggling.
He realized he was crushing her, so he let her up and instantly went into his battle pose again. "Let's try again." He meowed gently
Snowpaw nodded, still too breathless to speak.
Rosepaw restrained himself from running to her aid
He waited until she was ready.
Flamefrost placed her tail-tip on his shoulder. “She’ll be alright,” she murmured knowingly.
“Okay... I think I’m ready now.” She flashed Rosepaw a look, assuring him she was alright.
Rosepaw relaxed reluctantly.
Snowpaw stepped to the side and pulled her sheathed paw across his side.
