"Alright, then!" Mistyrain called optimistically. "Let's go train!" The small she-cat led her newest apprentice out of camp excitedly, happy that she could start training a new apprentice fresh. ""Just follow me, Ashpaw." It didn't take long for them to reach a clearing where the deputy had planned to hunt with her apprentice.
"Alright. Since this is your first day, I'm going to hunt first. Watch carefully how I position myself, my tail, where I place my paws, and how I leap." It was a lot of information to begin with, but seeing a catch was an important start. She had already singled out a mouse in the trees on the opposite side of the clearing, so she signaled for Ashpaw to be silent. She crept slowly in its direction, only making her leap when she judged the time to be right. A twig cracked loudly beneath her back paw as she leaped, however, and the mouse was gone in a flash. "Did you see that? Even though I made a mistake, I still stalked it correctly. Did you notice how I kept my tail not too low, but not too high? If it's too high, the prey will notice it. If it's too low, it will brush on the ground."
