Yes! Hunting! The little feline took notice
of the description. Silver or brown with
round ears! Fawnpaw had slowed down a
little, sneezing before skiddling up with Owltalon.

They were here. Leaves crunched under her
tiny paws as she looked around curiously.
So this is the territory? Her ears flicked
off flakes of snow irritably, catching up
once again.

She looked at Owltalon and opened her
jaw, inhaling cold air and silently sputtering
it out. Performing a cranky but well-
done hunters crouch, she remembered not
to not drag her tail and keep
as low as possible. Her nose twitched
frustratedly as she searched for the mouse,
her head peeking out of the leaves.

Pjnkish circles peeked out of the leaves.
She had found the mouse! The apprentice
quietly stalked it, staring at it longer them
usual, before hauling herself into the air
and eeeming to land onto the mouses tail.

It had scurried away before she could
properly end it. She angrily grumbled, before
looking up to Owltalon. "Did i.. did
i do good?

"Not bad!" the deputy smiled widely. "Ya got 'er tail, even if they scurried away from ya." she padded up to Fawnpaw lightly, a crunch sounding from her paws after every step. She looked to the general direction that the mouse ran off to. Given their speed, they'd be at the other side of the forest by now.

"Ya know somethin'? Them jokers are fast, real fast. Butcha oughta be faster, eh?" she gave the younger cat a tap on her shoulder with her tail. "Despite the leaves, ya were pretty good at keepin' still. But, when yer huntin' somethin', or killin' anythin' in general, ya gotta aim fer what's most vulnerable or quick ta stun er kill em." she unsheathed her claws once more and tapped blood stained talons to her head, claws catching on matted fur.

"Ta stun a rodent, aim fer their heads or their sides. It'll either kill em on impact or not the wind outta 'em. And what cha may not 'ave in speed ya can make up with in force." she paused for a moment. "Recalled that ya caught it's tail, eh? Break it. Or, break it's hind legs. Cain't move if it's bones er shattered. Now tell me, Fawnpaw, what did that mouse smell like?"

Owltalon found it easy to memorize prey by not only color and sound but also scent. It was probably the easiest way to detect a smaller animal since they're harder to see and too jumpy for their own good.
