After several moments, Minkpaw lashed out with a paw and scooped up a good-sized fish. She plopped it down on the bank, watching it wriggle about. Fadingsun's head tipped a bit to one side in curiosity; what was so fascinating about a fish that she wouldn't kill it immediately? Maybe she just didn't know how. "After you scoop it out of the water, you can deal a hard bite to its head or smack its head to kill it. Your form looked excellent; for not having fished in a while, you're doing a great job."

minkpaw nodded, "im glad its okay, its not that different to regular hunting.. but do you have anything i should work on? and tips maybe?" she cocked her head in question, eyes on fadingsun. even if her hunting was fine she needed to be better, 'fine' wouldnt do it for her, she was going to be a 14 moon old apprentice soon, she had to be perfect.
the fish was still wiggling next to her and she silently lifted a white tipped paw, eyes still on fadingsun and placed it on the fish, piercing it with her claws and effectively keeping it in place as the wiggling stilled. the thought that this might come across as threatening didnt dawn on her until it was too late.
