boo srp from the deckhand ——— shine padded along the beach. wind tousled her fur, tasting salt on her tongue when she panted. the deckhand’s tail swished behind her, carving halfmoons in the sand. sweat beaded on her brow as she stepped into the tides, recalling the day before, her battle with the bird. it was hard to believe, to think, that she’d fought that thing on her own. looking back now, it was amazing that she’d managed what she had. those talons could’ve torn her pelt apart, that beak destroyed her ears and paws if she hadn’t been careful. but now she was fine! one of the only UrchinClanners she was sure had actually fought another dangerous being! pride puffed under her pelt. it was funny to think, though, that she’d gotten more bruised and scratched as a kit quarreling with Divinepaw than fighting something that could have dropped her and done some damage to her bones. she smiled as she slipped into the ocean, swimming out, to a spot where rock hooked over the ocean and the cast shadow allowed the water to be cool. she sat on a bar of cool sand, enjoying the break from the greenleaf heat. she would be a warrior soon, so she had really got to be training. always training because she had those two moons to make up for.. but perhaps she could slow down on all the work. she felt Lyricdeception was going to just teach her more combat, and apart from that all she had to do was chores and extra sparring practice with her fellow apprentices, so maybe it was good that she was stepping into real experience. she’d fight more soon. more things that she could crush like that bird, more cats that made her more than a bit irritated. like Divinepaw. she’d get stronger than Divinepaw so she could beat her later, win. she’d fight for herself, now and then and every time. her tail swished happily behind her. dreams always made her happy. to think and plan. if she didn’t reach them or had to wait for them to fall into her paws, that was fine. they’d only be lost for a little while. ——— hi i’m trying a new typing thing today i suppose.. anyway child just went and beat up a weekly predator birdie and, on a 20%, got no injury. my lil captain’s really starting to fill the role okay <3 coughs i call her a deckhand and she helps on a ferry, she gets her ship + becomes a captain as a warrior okay..
