"Of course not."He purred slightly,narrowing his eyes with a smile."Ready?And....
let's begin!"He grinned,dashing around the place.He didn't smell prey yet,as he
padded forward into the forest.

Maplepaw had darted out to the North East. "I'm not going to lose...!" She murmured to herself, then slowed down. She gazed at her surroundings, trying to find some sign of nearby prey. Not catching any scents, she moved forward.
It was then that she caught the scent of a squirrel, scurrying up a tree. It was trying to make way to its nest. "Can't let it get away..." She murmured, but looked unsure. She had never done tree-climbing before. Was it safe for her?
She decided to be on the safe side and look for prey that was on the ground. "Cant believe I just gave up my opportunity...although, its better than dying because I was trying to win a bet." She said, slightly laughing to herself.
She pressed to the ground, crawling across the forest floor to try and catch a scent.

He saw a rabbit between some bushes.Aha!He crouched down,flicking
his tail side to side,as he darted into the bush.The rabbit jumped at him,as
he made a quick approach,swiping it onto the ground.Stonepaw pinned it as
he dug his claws into it."Accomplished."He smiled to himself.He got a few
twigs and thorns in his fur as he mumbled,"At least it's worth it.Well,maybe."
The tom padded towards Maplepaw,sitting down as he watched her from away.

Maplepaw continued to crawl along the forest floor, unknowing that Stonepaw was watching. She had her eyes locked on a mouse that was trying to escape from the rain. "Your mine...!" She whispered to herself before leaping at the mouse.
Unluckily, the mouse had been alerted by her presence because her tail had caused some of the grass to fidget. It had escaped from her reach by the time she had landed at the spot where it had been. "Wha- Hey!" She called out, and charged after the mouse.
The mouse led her straight in Stonepaw's direction, scurrying right past Stonepaw and into a hole.
She raised her head, with a hefty sigh. The second she raised her head completely though, she was only inches away from Stonepaw's face.
Embarrassed, she stepped back a few tail-lengths. "Ah, you got prey first, did you? That's too bad. Guess I have to tell you a secret now!" She said, trying to ignore what had happened just moments ago.

He grinned and nodded.The tom set his prey besides him as he
looked at Maplepaw.He noticed the mouse scurried away,as he ignored
that moment,not wanting to cause her any embarrassments.

"Secret, huh?" Maplepaw said, trying to think. "I don't have very many secrets." She added, her head beginning to sway side to side as she thought on it. "I'm not really all that interesting if I don't have any secrets." She joked, then went back to thinking.
"Oh, right! Remember, you cant tell anyone, alright?" She said, then unveiled her secret. "When I was younger, I snuck out as a kit to explore. My parents came looking for me, and they died, fending off rogues...while trying to defend me." She murmured, now looking a bit sad. "Maybe if I hadn't been so desperate to explore, they wouldn't be dead today..."

"You didn't have to tell me another one if you felt uncomfortable with it."He responded.
He didn't want her to be upset next time."I'll keep it as a secret.Cheer up,have my prey.
I'm not all that hungry anyways."He responded,shifting it over to her paws.

"...Right." Maplepaw said, her childish flare gone.
"I'm not really hungry either, thanks for the offer though." She said. "We might as well take it back to camp, and give it to Cloverwing or Rowanstar." She said, beginning to pad along.

<<Male::Apprentice::Hunting::Quiet::Maplepaw>>
He padded after.He didn't have much to say on the way,as the rain
was beating down on his pelt,carrying the rabbit.

Maplepaw, wanting to put an end to the awkward silence, began to speak.
"If your willing, you could tell me about your crush from your past. As you can tell, I can get pretty sappy myself, so I wouldn't mind listening. And, I mean, maybe I can help you out." She said, not sure what other topic there was to dwell on.
