After finding a decent enough scoop of earth in the middle of Sunclan's wooded territory, not so far from camp that it'd render their training irrelevant nor too close that they'd awkwardly be stumbled upon by patrols, Turtlefang halted his pace. Curling around on his paws, he turned to face his apprentices for the day, getting another fresh look at their faces to gauge exactly what he'd be dealing with. Not having exactly been much of a mentor before, he didn't exactly know much about his younger clanmates, which made this all the more interesting. A chance to learn mutually.
"It's a little cluttered around here," He glanced momentarily at the dense branches scattering the light overhead, speckling the underbrush with shadow. "But it'll suit the challenge of our objective. Uniting terrain and combat, that is. If you feel confident that it's spacious enough for our means, we may start shortly."
Tipping his head wryly, he added, "You're all forest born, of course, so accompanying a tight space should come as simply as breathing."

»»——— Honeypaw ———«« The forest suited Honeypaw just fine. It was as Turtlefang said, this was the only home he had ever known. The trees were no issue. Facing Turtlefang but casting an obviously frustrated eye towards Wheatpaw, he finally got around to asking his proper question. “If this is supposed to simulate protecting our camp from a MoonClan invasion, then how are we going to make that work?” His glare at Wheatpaw only got more prominent, her earlier words still burnt into his mind. “As apprentices, we’ve definitely got you out numbered - it’d be easier for us to pretend we’re invading MoonClan. |

Oatpaw smiled a little bit at his sibling.
"Its true, Moonclan probably can't even cross the border without dieing." he spat.

"It's true," Turtlefang spoke mildly, matter-of-factually, but with a humored twitch to his whiskers as he eyed Oatpaw. So faithful. "On these lands, any Sunclan warrior has the upper paw. Especially with the camp so near, backup can be easily retrieved. It's an obvious advantage, which is the source of our problem."
Gaze drifting towards the bushes, as if already envisioning an unseen invasion, the warrior continued, smiling idly to himself. "If you and I both know what a strong hold we have on our territory, an enemy is bound to be cautious. Overly cautious, even. If enemy forces ever made it this far, we'd be fighting in waves for sure. To overcompensate for their weaknesses, they would make up for themselves in numbers. At the very least, that's what any competent strategist would order. With that in mind..." He took a seat for himself, tail settling neatly over his speckled paws. "We'll be simulating defense by turning you against one another." Blinking now towards Honeypaw, the older tom tilted his head in inquiry. "That should make for a fairer trial, shouldn't it? After all, I need to see what you've learned before I can decide how to guide you. Training without measure would be... repetitive."

»»——— Honeypaw ———«« Honeypaw nodded cautiously. What Turtlefang had proposed wasn't really surprising, it made sense and apprentices had to spar with one another all the time. However, he just didn't like the way Turtlefang said it. He didn't really like the way Turtlefang spoke in general, everything sounded so meticulously planned, and like it had another motive. For now, though, he tried to ignore his distrusting nature. “So,” he began, picking his words, “which of us will be attacking and which will be defending?” |

Mentions:
The tom had moved to the side once Turtlefang had stopped picking the area that they would train in a space with scattered limbs and other obstacles though it should be fine for them as Turtlefang stated they were all forest born the white tom wanted to see what he could do to maybe dull his white pelt how bad would it be for him when trying to hide in three of the seasons only to be seen so easily though he supposed he could learn that after battle training with the others and so he remained still waiting for more direction from the tom that had been asked to bring them. Though Snowpaw questioned Beestar's decision to only send one warrior instead of more would it not be more beneficial to learn from others as well they all fought in their own way and Snowpaw was curious how that was.

"Hmm." Licking a paw and drawing it over his whiskers, Turtlefang's eyes shut briefly as if in a moment of meditation. Troublesome. Having witnessed the tense atmosphere of the original three siblings on the way over, he'd almost assumed they've have their own inclinations figured out. Well, he figured, opening his eyes once more only for it to land on bright little Snowpaw. "Being realistic here, you over there are going to have the hardest time on ambush, at least during the green season. Let's start you on defense. We'll switch teams after our first round, anyway. And..."Focusing now on Honeypaw, seemingly always with something to say, the dark warrior offered him another ghostly smile. "You'll be his partner."

»»——— Honeypaw ———«« His tail twitched once Turtlefang had glanced at him, and once more when the warrior smiled. Honeypaw tore his eyes away from Turtlefang. Instead, he looked towards Snowpaw, trying to get a read on what he might think of the situation. “Well then, I suppose we’ll have to do our best,” he said simply. Wheatpaw’s very presence felt scathing to him, like the pressure to do well had only increased. With a deep breath, he cast a cursory glance towards Turtlefang once more. “So, when do we start?” |

"Whenever your enemies are ready," the tom replied, swiping his paw once more across his muzzle- as if it needed any more grooming than the good few strokes he'd already given this morning. Turtlefang rested his foot once more, an air of restlessness beginning to thicken around him at last in spite of his best efforts at nonchalance. "But sooner than later, okay? If both teams want a moment to convene, then you may do so as we would in the midst of any battle... but the attackers have my permission to initiate at any point. This is a defensive practice, after all."
