Sneezepaw trotted after their mentor. "So we're gonna be hunting, right?" they chirped after he was silent for a bit. This was their first time hunting, so naturally, they were pretty excited. Their head was held high, face in a usual smile.

( @Luna16 - Rabbitfur )

Rabbitfur nodded and smiled brightly. “Yessir! But first, a note. This place is Starry Meadow, where we lay our clanmates’ bodies to rest.” He meowed, his expression uncharacteristically serious. “So we need to be mindful while we’re here okay?” With that taken care of, Rabbitfur flicked his tail for Sneezepaw to follow and led them to an area away from any potential graves.

“Now! The hunter’s crouch.” He meowed, crouching down right into it. “When there’s not much coverage like this, especially in leaf-fall, it’s very important not to be seen by our prey.” He explained, crouching so his belly fur skimmed the ground lightly and lowering his tail. Being mindful of his long, thick pelt. “You’re more likely to be seen here before you’re scented or heard. Not that it isn’t important to check the direction of the wind,” he paused, angling his head upwards so the wind would rustle through his long and sensitive whiskers, “and be mindful of your paws.” He added as he looked back to his apprentice, demonstrating by stepping forward lightly.

“Now you try!” He encouraged, sitting back on his haunches to observe his apprentice.
