Sunjaw approached the multitude of streams that made up the Split-Step Shore. This part of the CoveClan territories may be a unique sight to the other clans, what with the abundance of crabs and other wildlife going about their business, but to CoveClan? It was just another piece of their seaside home. Sunjaw was particularly keen on this area, especially for what he had in mind for his apprentice's training. Both himself and young Scorchpaw were both on the bigger side, whether it be due to muscle, fur, or both. And that means that in battle, both were prone to not being able to move as quickly as some of their more lithe clanmates.
"Well, Scorchpaw, I'll give you half of my fresh-kill if you can guess what we're doing today," Sunjaw gave a rat-eating grin, excited to try his new idea on the poor imposing tom. But before Scorchpaw could even answer, Sunjaw looked ahead to the field of sand and water, calculating where the best spots were to leap, as the two were going to be training weight distribution.
It was an important skill for battle - to be able to be light on your feet. Slowpokes usually got pummeled, especially in a fight against multiple cats. The apprentice hadn't really excelled in battle training, and had been relying on his size to try to make the most of it. Though Scorchpaw's thick coat would protect him from some of the damage, it would be easy for him to get overwhelmed if not on top of his game. So until he picks up on more battle experience, his next best bet to not getting killed is to dodge and run.

The orange and white tabby looked to his apprentice, awaiting an answer with a raised eyebrow. The younger tom didn't have bees for brains, so Sunjaw was sure he'd figure it out quickly. Question was - how well would he hold up in the challenge?
