Teehee~ Bigcat her stance looks good! Deesssssspite the wobble that caused her to tumble over at those exact words. Bleh. Poppypaw blew a small raspberry, eyes turning up to look at Bigcat who gave further advice. Wider paws? Flat paws? Wider stance! She hummed and nodded, getting up as though nothing happened and thoroughly focused on crouching - spreading her legs further than before, and likely further than was normal - but! For the remaining wobbles, she did feel more stable!! Poppypaw's eyes widened in excitement, looking up big round eyes.
"Bigcat! Bigcat! This good? Poppy doing good??"
She quickly pipped up, eyes searching for Mudhound as she managed to not fall this time.

The lesson had moved on. Steadfast, Poppypaw remained in her crouch as she listened to the further instructions, carefully watching the example -- it sounded like a game. Poppypaw liked games! The little she-cat noted of the older feline avoided grass and sticks, and rather, hid behind tall things, much like hide and seek! Her head tilted sideways. Okay. So she had to be suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper duuuuuuuuper sneaky and quiet... She could do that!! Okay. Okay. If she sees the prey then the prey can see her! And- and!! If she smells prey... Prey can smell her? Now that seemed complicated, don't they need to smell prey to find it? Oh, wait! Bigcat is the fake prey! They meant themselves! Silly her.

Cover your scent... Bigcat had shown her how to cover scent before. She thinks. Maybe. Looking around and spotting the nearest mud-puddle, the patched tabby waddle over and ceremoniously dropped and rolled in the mud while everyone else surely had already started their stalking. But Poppypaw wanted to do this good! She wanted to be a good warrior!! Scent covered (or at least, with her fur covered in mud), the brittle apprentice crouched once again - wobbling a little - with her abnormally wide stance, one paw methodically creeping in front of the other with immense concentration as she tried to copy what Bigcat had previously shown her. It wasn't quite so easy, and the apprentice was having a tough time walking-slash-stalking-slash-waddling in a straight line, also trying to focus on what was on the ground and hiding behind stuff and!! So much!! To focus!! On!!
