Pecking it up he ran up to Hawkfeather, holding it proudly. His green eyes shining with joy. He dropped it. "I caught it!" He purred. His gray tail swishing behind him.

The tan-furred warrior made sure to always keep his apprentice in his view-range, not wanting to lose them or assist the youth in the hunt if that was needed. Hawkfeather, however, saw how determined Harepaw was when it came to catching this rabbit, he did not give up nor did he slow down, for that matter, and it made the mentor rather proud. His adopted brother, who was known as Ferretpaw, would’ve given up by now and complain about something without a doubt. His tail lashed behind him as he watched the apprentice leaped forward now and even manage to grasp the hare, wrestling it to the ground in the long grass. The prey wasn’t that large compared to the feline, but it would still put up a fight before giving up. Although, after awhile, Hawkfeather looked down at Harepaw once he returned to the mentor with the limp carcass of the rabbit in his jaws. He dropped it between them and purred with satisfaction while his tail swished back and forth behind him. The Chausie smiled, nodding to Harepaw’s words. “You certainly did, young one, and you did an amazing job.” He praised his apprentice with a purr of his own stirring from his throat, “I am very proud of you and I know this will feed a hungry mouth back at camp. How about we head back so you can rest after all that running?” Hawkfeather now offered, feeling a lightened breeze ruffle his fur for a moment, becoming relaxed and calmed as his heartbeat went back to a normal pace as adrenaline faded.
