Sneezepaw
| they/them | WindClan | Apprentice |
Alright! Sneezepaw was doing pretty well with this whole hunting thing, so going off on their own to catch just one more thing shouldn't be
too hard, right? They gave Rabbitfur a confident nod before running off on their own.
Maybe their distance was pushing the bounds of "not straying too far" a bit, but it would be
fine. They'd just have to follow their own scent trail back, right? No problem. None of that mattered, though, as they closed their eyes, trying to pick up the scent of nearby prey.
They caught the scent of another mouse, and Sneezepaw quickly opened their eyes to scan around for it. They couldn't find it for several heartbeats, though, and grew impatient. They knew it was
there, but actually locating it was proving to be a challenge. They began to walk forward, shuffling the leaves around with their paws. Trying to stir the creature out of hiding.
And they were successful, except for the part where the mouse was long gone before they could even register it.
Did that count as an attempt? They wanted to try again (they could bring something back, and nobody would have to know they messed up), but they had already been gone long enough. So they returned to the meeting spot, and Rabbitfur returned only a few heartbeats later.
"I couldn't find anything," Sneezepaw said nonchalantly, suddenly finding the ground very interesting. It was
mostly true, at least.
"But I guess it's time to go back now, huh?" They'd gotten two pieces of prey, so it wasn't like they
failed or anything. Actually, that was probably pretty good for their first time! They just would have preferred it if they
had caught that mouse, that's all.
