sagepaw got into her hunters crouch as she stalked towards
the branch with the bird perched on it. she tried as quietly as she
could to climb the slick tree but she could not get a good grip. eventually
all of the scraping noise frightened the bird away and sagepaw slid to her
paws, cursing under her breath.

Moosepaw nodded. Swiping at an opponents underbelly... Tactical. I like it.
He followed his mentor from behind before they reached the clearing. Once arrived in the sunny place, he ran in front of the older tomcat and turned around to face him.
''Is the belly rake hard to do?'' He asked the grey cat.

''I'll be good practice. They're especially fast this year. I don't think I could catch 'em, even if I tried.'' She laughed out loud. Everyone knows that the golden cat's not an ace in running. A good example would be last weeks patrol. The posse of cats had spotted some rabbits, and they gave chase. But Cherrystep, as bad as she is, was trailing behind; by the time she reached them, she was huffing and puffing and they were already done hunting.

... Jaysong ...

Tag/s; Sagepaw
Chrush; Branchfall

Jaysong watched her apprentice clumsily attempt to climb the oak. "It's okay, even someone as great as me didn't get it on the first try." she joked. "But, next time try to move slower, one move at a time." Jaysong saw a scrawny, brown, fluffy squirrel trying to crack open a nut nearby, tabbing on the wood of the tree. "sink your claws further into the bark, but only the bark your instincts tell you won't slip" she whispered. "The trick is to keep calm and collected." slowly the she cat slithered, move by move, up the trunk of the tree. When she was about three tail-lengths away, she wiggled her haunches, readying to pounce "until the time is right." The warrior then finally gracefully pounced, grabbing the squirrel with her unsheathed claws and delivering a final bite to the neck with her teeth. She inspected the stringy fresh-kill. Not the plumpest squirrel in the forest, but at least it was something. "then throw all that out, and be as fast as possible" she mewed as she lightly jumped down with her fresh-kill in her mouth.

... Fernkit ...

Tags; Otterkit, Reedkit, Doveheart
Crush; Too Young

Fernkit squirmed. It was too cold and strange out in the thick air. Where is everyone? He felt warmth coming from his left paw's side. Mother? He felt for her everywhere until suddenly he felt Dovehearts belly, and two other kits. My brother and sister! What a great day! He presses against his mother's warm belly and began to feed.

"Good.. -practice, right." Eskerpaw mumbled, crossing his legs. When
Cherrystep leapt, spotting a few rabbits in the clearing, Eskerpaw fol
-lowed. After a few tensed moments, the brown, lithe tom was ahea
-d of his own mentor.

Eskerpaw was surprised; his mentor, behind him. Sure, Cherrystep was
slow, but it wasn't so expected that his feet would carry faster than th
-e older she-cat. Well-- maybe he was built this way-- to be fast and m
-ore of a retreater, rather than a brute cat.

To his relief, at least it wasn't battle-training; he would get beat to th
-e ground by a kit. A little, tiny squirming, suckling kitten would go
head-to-head with him. And a rabbit..? Maybe he'd catch up, but he sur
-ely wouldn't be able to add it to the roster of fresh-kill.

Dusk♀ - 16 Moons - Loner - Tags - None

Dusk decreased her pace slowly when she sniffed out several unknown cats' smell. When the she-cat reached the 'border', Dusk perked her ears up to hear any sounds of speaking cats. With her sensitive hearing, she heard soft voices talking nearby. She could make out two female cats talking. Following the sounds, she shoved her ears forward and stepped softly and quietly into Swiftclan's camp, her eyes narrowed to see if she could find those two cats. Please don't fight me...please don't fight me!

Soot♂ - 18 Moons - Loner - Tags - None

Soot sighed and kept walking on, his nose in the air for any prey scents. Well, nothing so far...could he possibly trespass through Swiftclan's borders to find prey there? After all, he had been there once by accident when he was young and he had saw rabbits, squirrels, and all sorts of prey there. It was prey paradise! But...he might get rammed in the face if he was seen. Cats there weren't really friendly to his parents and well, that's how he lost his parents. Sigh, what were my parents doing there anyways? Whatever, I do not want to get into trouble. Off hunting in a desolated place I guess... Soot thought before scooting off deeper into the dense forest, his tail flailing helplessly in the wind.

"i didn't particularly think it was difficult when I was first learning it at your
age." he said with a smile, "just got to go for it." he said, sitting and
wrapping his tail around his silver paws.

"it is kind of difficult to get my claws into the trunk because its so
slippery." she told her mentor before trying again. She took a leap and dug her claws
in and held on as tight as she could before lifting her body into the direction of the
tree limp which she was climbing towards. once she was close enough to take
the leap she did and nearly missed, her hindlegs were dangling so she had
to use a lot of her strength to heave herself onto the limb. "why do
cats do this?" she questioned, breathing hard. "now all I need to get the
hang of is the catching the prey part." she added with a giggle.

''Oh, okay, then.'' He sat down too, his initial excitement over. His tail tip twitched a bit. ''Could I try it on you?''

cherrystep // female // thirty moons old // crush: open // tags: eskerpaw
Eskerpaw was already a good while ahead. She could barely see his mottled black fur in the depths of the forest. She slowed down, only for a while, and took a good sprint to catch up to her apprentice. ''Hey,'' She said, arriving close to Eskerpaw. ''You walk fast!''
Cherrystep took a deep breath and looked around; indeed, they were at Whispering Stream. The roar of the stream gave it away. She looked back at the tom and said:
''Okay. Would you like to hunt together or should we split up?''

"of course," he told the younger tom. "but don't you dare unsheathe your
claws." he said sternly, standing from his spot. "or else I will have to remove
your ears from your head." he said seriously, before letting out a chuckle as he
circled the young cat.

Moosepaw let out a chuckle as he watched his mentor circle him slowly. His amber eyes followed him as he circled a second time around him. His tail swished on the soft ground beneath him. He narrowed his eyes, closely looking at him.

"make the first move, moosepaw." riverleap said in a sort of
taunting way. "and remember not to hesitate," he reminded
his apprentice as he kept circling around the younger tom. "quickness
is key."
