| Mottledpaw plucked the last tick from the elder, shuddering at the mouse bile which had gotten caught in his wild white-and-tortoiseshell chest fur. He tried not to gag as he gingerly picked up the twig carrying mouse bile soaked moss to dispose of it just outside the camp where soiled moss was piled. The RiverClan apprentice didn't like tending to the elders, but he knew that it was part of his duties he needed to do in order to become a warrior. He knew that the elders were just as important to the clan as anyone - he just wished they weren't so chatty,or snappy in some of their cases. Mottledpaw padded back into camp, but he realized he wouldn't be rid of the mouse bile until he washed himself off in the river. He certainly wouldn't do it with his tongue.
Knowing that he couldn't leave camp on his own with Shade prowling the territories, Mottledpaw spotted his mentor, Blizzardshell, and called, "Blizzardshell!" When his mentor approached, he mewed, "I'm done taking care of the elders. Will you take me to the river to wash off? And can we hunt when we're done?" The dark tortoiseshell apprentice scuffed his paw and added wryly, "Since we're out of camp we may as well be useful, right?" ______________________________________ Clovertwist the Loner WindClan ex-Warrior { #5F9EA0 } | Barleytuft of StarClan WindClan Warrior { #DA8F6F } | Marmalade the Kittypet ex-SkyClan Medicine Cat { #C1550A } | Dacedream of StarClan ThunderClan Warrior { #808000 } | Summer the Loner gay drifter { #E86375 } |

| Blizzardshell smiled and nodded. "Might as well be. Let's go." Soon the duo were exiting the camp and heading to the River, Mottledpaw behind Blizzardshell.
The winter white warrior sat down and began to wait for his apprentice to wash off the bile. He made sure to sit a little further away so he didn't have to expose his nose to the pungent scent. Like he promised, after the younger finished washing, they were going to hunt. |

| Mottledpaw was relieved when his mentor said yes, and the apprentice had to fight the urge to race off ahead of Blizzardshell. Mottledpaw was tired of the stink in his nose and revolted about its presence on his fur, but it wouldn't do for him to go ahead of the warrior with a murderer on the loose. They arrived at the river and the apprentice wasted no time in plodding his way into the river until it swept over his back and shoulders. He felt the current seeping into his fur and rubbed at his chest fur with his paws to make sure it was fully saturated and cleaned.
Once Mottledpaw was sure the stench was gone, he padded out and shook his fur, sending a shower of water droplets scattering around him. The bright-eyed tom looked at his mentor and mewed, kneading the ground eagerly, "What should we hunt? Fish? We could check for mice, or birds." ______________________________________ Clovertwist the Loner WindClan ex-Warrior { #5F9EA0 } | Barleytuft of StarClan WindClan Warrior { #DA8F6F } | Marmalade the Kittypet ex-SkyClan Medicine Cat { #C1550A } | Dacedream of StarClan ThunderClan Warrior { #808000 } | Summer the Loner gay drifter { #E86375 } |

| OOC: Sorry for my late reply! :0
IC: "Let's do fish since we're next to the river." the large tom suggested. He looked into the river, searching for any type of movement. Once something was spotted, he lifted a big paw. He was ready to scoop the fish up.
When the movement got the closest, he swiftly grabbed it with the unsheathed paw and threw it onto the land. It was a fairly large fish. It stopped moving after a few seconds on land. The warrior nodded to his apprentice, telling him to go next.

| Mottledpaw nodded once when his mentor told him they'd be fishing. He much preferred the taste of fish over forest creatures - leave those for the mange-ridden forest dwellers across their borders in ThunderClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan. However, the apprentice had to admit that there was a certain thrill to the different style of hunting. The dark tortoiseshell apprentice shook his head of the thoughts and moved a bit further upstream so that both Blizzardshell and Mottledpaw could fish without disturbing each other's practice. Mottledpaw poised himself at the edge of the water and watched with his soft forest green eyes.
He waited with a surprising amount of patience, and a small silvery shadow began to come near the surface. Mottlepaw's white-tipped paw flashed out, hooking the admittedly rather small fish out of the water and onto the shore behind him. He turned and nipped it quickly, killing it easily. Thank you, StarClan, for this fish's life, he thought, then added with a smirk to himself, and its lack of intelligence.

| Blizzardshell nodded with approval at how quickly his apprentice caught the fish. The warrior liked to observe how different everone's hunting techniques are. The tom shook his thoughts away and looked in front of him. He proceeded to execute the same process once again. Like the previous time, he swiftly caught and killed the scaled creature. The warrior was going to stop this hunting "patrol" once they each caught 3. He turned to watch Mottledpaw again.

| Mottledpaw watched his mentor carefully as he, too, caught a fish. The apprentice noted how smoothly the older warrior moved, almost like he was an extension of the river just sending the fish down a different path. The tom nodded and tried again, gazing down intently at the water until he spotted another shadow under the surface. Mottledpaw struck down swiftly and tried to hook the fish up to the shore, but its weight surprised him and he lurched slightly over the water. With a short grunt he regained his balance and heaved the creature onto the shore as Blizzardshell had done. It landed with a clumsy flop and after a time grew motionless again. ______________________________________ Clovertwist the Loner WindClan ex-Warrior { #5F9EA0 } | Barleytuft of StarClan WindClan Warrior { #DA8F6F } | Marmalade the Kittypet ex-SkyClan Medicine Cat { #C1550A } | Dacedream of StarClan ThunderClan Warrior { #808000 } | Summer the Loner gay drifter { #E86375 } |

| "You're a great fish-catcher Mottledpaw! Keep it up! You're making Riverclan proud with the big fishes you're bringing back." Blizzardshell complemented. He the turned to face the river for the last time. As he had done the last two times, the warrior attempted to hook a fish. The white warrior succeeded in catching it and killing it. He tossed it into the fish pile he made then turned to address his apprentice, "Okay, catch one more and then we'll head back. We can't carry more than this."

| Mottledpaw nodded, feeling encouraged and empowered by his mentor's words. He mewed, "Thanks, Blizzardshell!" Blizzardshell was a very considerate and supportive mentor. Mottledpaw appreciated him and his cool nature; it was good at keeping Mottledpaw from getting frustrated. The dark tortoiseshell apprentice eyed the water again, poising his body to strike. Almost without thinking about it he slipped his paw under a fish to hook it out, and it landed on the bank near his previous fish and flopped before going limp. Mottledpaw stood, tail in the air, and purred, "I did it!" ______________________________________ Clovertwist the Loner WindClan ex-Warrior { #5F9EA0 } | Barleytuft of StarClan WindClan Warrior { #DA8F6F } | Marmalade the Kittypet ex-SkyClan Medicine Cat { #C1550A } | Dacedream of StarClan ThunderClan Warrior { #808000 } | Summer the Loner gay drifter { #E86375 } |
