He had stayed close, not enough to disrupt her hunt but enough to where if he was needed, intervening would be no issue. Safety was always his number one priority - who knew what dangers lurked just out of sight?
Thankfully, things went without a hitch and Wolfhive's eyes gleamed with pride at Mallowpaw.
"You did it! I knew you could." He wasn't sure if it was going to be the first attempt, but it was!
"Told you, you were a natural." The leaf practice - he didn't know if it actually helped or not, but he hoped it did even if just a little.
Wolfhive reached over to give her a happy bop, a purr rumbling in his throat.
"Let's bury this - just a shallow hole works, we just don't want a predator finding it while we're hunting. I think you got the gist of how hunting works, now all it takes is practicing it 'til you're a pro." In his opinion, Mallowpaw wouldn't have a problem with it - she was already well on her way to mastery. (and had a better start than he ever did!)
A glance up through the trees gave him a general idea of the sun's position.
"You feeling up for going 'til the sun passes overhead? See what else we can get?"
