Shadowstalker nodded. "Ok. We will train arond sunhigh." She tried to stay calm, but it was hard. She had only asked him because he might want something to do, and secretly, she was a little unsure of how to train Stormpaw. It was her first apprentice, and she wasn't very creative when it came to fighting. She was good in real battle, but generaly not training.
"See you tomorrow then." The sunset was over, and she felt a bit better. Not a lot though. She hadn't gotten very far down the tree when she stepped of a broken tree branch with lots of spliters hanging out. She hiss in pain and scrabled back up to her perch, since it was way closer than the ground. There was a piece of wood lodged in her soft pad. It was pooling blood, and she couldn't put any weight on it.

ColdCry looked down at the pooling blood coming from Shadowstalker's paw. He knew that leaving her there would be cruel, the tom sighed. "You need help, don't you?" His icy eyes were indifferent, obviously not agreeing with his words.

"No." Shadowstalker grumbled through gritted teeth. She held her back leg up, closer to her mouth and she=ut her eyes. Grabbing hold with her teeth, she gave a sharp, strong tug, and freed the wood from her pad. She licked the back paw clean, and held it over the open air, the wind feeling good on her cut.
"Looks like I'll have to get that checked out.", she grumbled to herself, not very pleased. The metalicy tast of blood hung in her mouth like mouse-bile. Once when she was an apprentice, she made the mistake of licking her paws clean of the mouse-bile after treating an elder with it. No one had told her then, and the medicine cat probably thought she was just another annoying kit. But mouse-bile tasted much worse.

"Alright, then." ColdCry replied, obviously not swayed. He flicked his light gray tail and planned out how he would get down from the tree. The night was pitch black, everything was silent except for their talking.

Shadowstalker tried to get up, and attemp to clibm down the tree. Again. Trying to put weight on her injured foot was a bad idea. She yowled quitely, "Oh, that's not going to work." She knew she would need all four paws to climb down the tree. How am I going to get down from here? Panic started to creap into her body, and she lashed her tail in frustration. She decided to just sit down and lick the blood still coming out. Yuck!
Shadowstalker was almost invisable now. Her whispy gray chest was the only thing on her body visible along with her yellow-green eyes. Looking up at the moon was peaceful and all, but she desperatly wanted to get down from the tree now.

ColdCry sighed, staring straight at Shadowstalker. He would have to help her down. How could his night get worse? Hopeshatter had crossed his mind and now this annoying she-cat who hurt herself? "You do need help."
ColdCry grabbed her scruff quickly and began to climb down the tree. Her weight was puling him down but down was where they needed to go. The ground was far, and his teeth began to ache. Still he continued, not in the mood to talk to her or let Shadowstalker protest. The fog cleared as he neared the ground; the grass was chilled and still. Not uncommon for ShadowClan nights. Frogs croaked, and he resisted the urge to let go and run after their voice.
For some reason, ColdCry helped Shadowstalker. He never helped other cats; it confused him to be so different. It was his former mate she reminded him of. And he didn't feel well. Don't get used to this..

Shadowstalker returned his stare. "Uh, yeah, I guess I-" She yelped when Coldcry picked her up my the scruff. She felt his muscles tence as he climed down the tree, and didn't move at all, not wanting to unbalance him. They must've been a strange site in the middle of the night.
The tug on her neck was starting to irritate her skin. She still didn't dare to move because they were still a good ways away from the ground, and she probably wouldn't withstand the fall.

When ColdCry reached the ground, he immediately dropped her scruff and shook his pelt. He wan't doing that again. He hadn't said anything, and looked towards camp. It was close. ColdCry started towards the camp and felt exhaustion overcome him and he began to rush.

Shadowstalker was dropped to the ground with a thud. She turned her head to say something to Coldcry, but saw e was already padding back to camp. Fast. But she wanted to atleast say her thanks! She tucked her hind paw to her stomach and started limp-running up to him. It was hard to keep his pace, and balance for that matter, as she tried to walk beside him, but making sure their pelts didn't touch. At all.
Breathless now, she mewed,"Please, would you slow down so I can speak?" She really didn't want to seem like a bother, but she had to say something, or she would stay awake all night, thinking about how rude she was to not say 'thank you'.

"Do you need me to take you to camp, too?" ColdCry said, irritated. He was already tired of Shadowstalker. But he slowed a bit.

"No!" Shadowstalker hissed. "I just want to say, thank you, if you don't mind!" She rolled her eyes. She wasn't that usless even though she could only walk on three of her legs. The dark she-cat walked ahead, not saying 'bye' or 'good night' to the tom, done with him for the night.
Limping back to camp proved hard. She almost wished she took Coldcry up on his offer. An extra shoulder to lean on would've been nice. Shaking her head in discust, she padded into camp.
