Mintblossom purred. "Herbfeather can get hyper. She is a great sister." Mintblossom paused for a moment. "Yes, I was known by many names throughout the nest. The large twolegs named me Colt, and the twoleg kits named me Mint. I was going to come to the clans as Colt, but what kind of name is Coltblossom?" Mintblossom licked him on the cheek. "I really trust you, Stormcloud. Do you know that? Well, uh, do you want to practice Brightheart's move?"

"Yeah, I get the name thing. But you could be called Coltfoot, you know, like the herb. Deputy Coltfoot, who soothes wounds of the heart with her healing words. But Mintblossom is much prettier." He purred and licked her cheek too, then he looked at her with a wondering expression. "What's Brightheart's move?" It sounded interesting, but he had no idea what it could be or who Brightheart was.

"Brightheart is a cat in ThunderClan who has one eye due to a dog. She was a warrior, so she made her own fighting moves. It is very helpful to know Brightheart's move when you are trapped by trees or something and an enemy is attacking. We will have to practice on each other for this one. I will be the enemy, you will be the trapped cat. When I spring onto you, you slip and roll to get me off. Then, while I am still stunned, jump on me. Are you ready?" She meowed.

"I'm ready," he replied, standing up again. "But maybe we should try it among those trees?" He looked at a cluster of trees close by. They weren't much, but if he stood in the middle it would be hard to notice her if she was on the outside. "Or do you want me to learn the basics first?" He paced slightly, placing his legs firmly on the ground for balance, testing the earth with his claws.

"You are right, we should use those trees. Trees are very helpful while learning Brightheart's move. Stay here for a moment." Mintblossom started to walk to the trees. She sniffed them. She realized they weren't in SunClan territory. "Stormcloud, these trees have the scent of MoonClan. You know, it's getting dark, too. Do you think we should practice tomorrow? We haven't had a true bite of prey all day!" She meowed.

Stormcloud looked at the darkening sky and he was starting to get hungry. "Yes, tomorrow sounds fine," he agreed. "Maybe we can find some other trees then. Why don't you show me some hunting tricks on they way back? Maybe I'll manage to catch something worthwhile." He smiled a friendly smile, even though his untrained muscles were acing, and waited for her to take the lead.

Mintblossom started back to camp. She spotted a mouse. "Are you watching?" She asked Stormcloud. She crept up on the mouse that was chewing on a root. She got into pouncing range and got into a hunter's crouch. She lashed her tail back and forth and... pounced! The mouse tried to scamper away, but she caught it between her paws. She bit it, and the mouse collapsed. "That was a ThunderClan signature hunting move. It's called the hunter's crouch. It is perfect for hunting mice and squirrels. Do you want to share a piece of prey once we put this on the pile?" She meowed. I hope he says yes... It is his desicion though, and I respect that. One can only hope though, right?

Stormcloud's tail swished back and forth as he watched the creeping she-cat up ahead. She made the kill seem so easy, but if he were to try it he knew he would scare all the prey in the territory away. "We can share," he replied with a friendly purr as she came back. "It sould be nice and quiet in my den, if you'd like to go there." He touched noses with her as thanks, purring louder now. "If we see some prey on the way back, do you mind if I try to catch it?" He was eager to try and see if he were any good as a hunter and wanted to try what he had learned as soon as possible.
