He grabbed her scruff and hauled her the rest of the way onto the branch. He kept his teeth secured there until she had gotten balanced then let go. He pressed her up against the trunk and pressed against her so she was secure and there was no way she would be able to fall.
“Thanks,” she panted, sitting down. “We’re pretty high up.”
He nodded in agreement. "You did good. You definitely passed this test."
Snowpaw seemed to sit a little straighter. “Thank you!”
"Are you ready to go back down?" He asked
“Yeah,” she admitted. “Sometimes being high up is nice, but now it’s a bit exhausting.”
His whiskers twitched in amusement. "Alright, I'll climb below you so if you slip, I'll be there to catch you." He manuevered around her skillfully and began working his way down the tree with ease
She waited until he was a good amount down before she climbed down carefully and her paws hit the grassy forest floor.
He nodded approvingly when she reached the floor. Redfrond stepped forward and mewed "Now for your battle skills." Out of nowhere, Rainbird jumped from a nearby tree onto Snowpaw's back. She let out a snarl and said "I'm a rogue that ambushed you and I'm trying to steal your prey!"
As soon as Rainbird jumped on her back she instinctively fell limp, and when the warrior loosened her grip, Snowpaw, choosing to take a risk, rolled onto her back and shoved Rainbird’s belly with her hind legs. Knocking her off, she jumped to her paws and faced her attacker.
