Some easy hunting!

It was early in the morning and Lilytail was currently waiting at the camp entrance for her newest apprentice, Darkpaw. She had woken him up and told him to meet her at the entrance. The warrior had been very excited to recieve another one. She couldn't wait to begin hunting training.

Darkpaw rushed out of the apprentice’s den without much of a thought once his mentor woke him up. He had never felt so excited for anything in his life before…except for his ceremony, probably, but knowing that he was finally going to be trained to take the path of greatness and reach his dream of becoming the leader of this mighty clan one day was more than enough to make the ambitious apprentice’s mind go wild, thinking on all the possible things his mentor had prepared form him.

“What are we going to do tod- OOOFFF!!!” In his eagerness to reach his mentor he forgot to look where he was placing his paws, causing him to trip over some loose pebble as he approached the river that surrounded the island they called camp. He landed on his face, the sudden embarrassment causing him to flinch for a second before quickly scrambling back to his feet and try to act like it didn’t happen in an attempt to salvage some of his dignity What a great start, I hope nobody saw that…

OOC: Please forgive my lateness ;-;/

IC: Lilytail shook her head and emitted a soft giggle at his clumsiness. "I'm going to teach you how to hunt! In the river and on land! Doesn't that sound great? You'll be able to show off your great skills to your den-mates! I have confidence that you're going to catch many, many pieces of prey today! Follow me now~"  The white-furred she-cat left the camp with Darkpaw trailing behind. She made sure to go slow so he could look at the beautiful territory around them while they headed to a good part of the river.

Soon the duo had sat down in front of the cold, rushing river. "Before we begin, can you tell me why Riverclan has to hunt fishes and land prey?" The warrior waited patiently for some sort of answer.

OOC: We are even....sorry!!!!


Darkpaw’s eyes were literally shining with excitement and hope as his mentor spoke about teaching him how to hunt…especially when she mentioned that he would be able to brag about it to his denmates! This was his chance to prove who was the best apprentice, future warrior AND future leader of the clan! He was going to bring so much prey the warriors wouldn’t need to hunt for the following sunrises! He was going to impress them all!

As he followed Lilytail he constantly drifted away from her side for a couple of seconds with ears and tail held high, rushing towards any nearby bush or hole between rocks or in tree trunks in an attempt to find the prey they were supposed to be hunting before quickly running back at her side. His alert eyes kept scanning the territory even after they arrived to their destination, causing him to walk into his mentor as she sat down and forcing him back to reality.

With an ashamed flick of an ear, he quickly mimicked her and sat down, but he kept trying to figure out where the prey was, which was easy to tell by how he kept moving his eyes and ears “H-hum…” He curled his tail around his paws as he thought on the question Lilytail made “Because…some cats don’t like fish?” He had seen it happen in the nursery a couple times before, where cats would choose other kind of prey over fish whenever they could. He never had seen the ice of Leafbare, and had only heard from it, so he had no idea the river could be inaccessible during those times.

OOC: Dangit I didn't know you posted! :((

IC: "Well you're not wrong but that's not the primary reason." Lilytail smiled before continuing, "The main reason is that the River freezes into ice during Leafbare and the parts that don't, they're way too cold to be sticking paws into. We hunt land prey even if we could hunt in the river for those with picky tastes, like you mentioned. Now, i'm going to show you how to hunt fish. Pay close attention because you're going to try next!"

The she-cat leaned to look into the river but not far enough to cause her reflection to extend further. She waited for a fish to swim by the bank closely. Once one was coming, she lifted up an unsheathed paw and hooked the fish. She then proceeded to place it next to her. She waited for it to stop flopping about before turning to Darkpaw. "Now it's your turn! I have confidence that you'll do great.~" The warrior stepped back to let the apprentice fish.
