"Voles are fast, Hornetpaw." Minkvenom's head popped out from underneath a frosty fern, her muzzle stretched with a confident smile. "They're our prey, they have to be!" She padded out, careful not to disturb her cover and leave trace of where she had been.

"But that's all part of the challenge. And while we can't change how fast the vole runs, we can change how well we hunt." Minkvenom nodded back to the big paw prints, the broken twig, and the disturbed leaves. "You've made a start, and now you've got a base idea of what to expect you can became better! -Just not the best, considering I'm still out here." The mentor just had to add that in at the end, gazing off to the side as she relished in thoughts of her own successes.

"Alright, before we find anymore prey I want you to sneak up to that fern I came from, but-" Minkvenom turned around and plucked a stray blade of grass from the ground. She would have preferred to pick a leaf from a plant, but Leaf-Bare only provided so much. "-you have to balance this piece off grass on your nose the whole way!"



( @sleepyyjax - I am so sorry!!! I thought I replied to this ages ago and was waiting for a response, but I must have imagined it!!)

Hmph. She pouted, listening to Minkvenom's ramble. Yeah right - she was fast! And she had to be faster than most normal voles. That vole had to have been an extra fast one, it just had to! Minkvenom probably didn't see just how fast it went. Otherwise, if it was just a normal-speed vole, that would mean she's already doing a bad job and - and that would be - well - her thoughts were interrupted as she tuned back into what her mentor was saying. Sneak up on a fern? Easy! That's all she spent her time doing, sneaking up on mossballs and ferns and the like. Ugh, what a pointless task, but at least she could show Minkvenom that she was actually very very good at this, and that really was an unnaturally fast vole.

But - what? Balance - wh- no. No way! "How would that -" She huffed. "I don't know how balancing grass would help me hunt." The paw grumbled, but still extended her nose, waiting for the grass to be placed upon it. Despite her complaints, she knew there was probably no way of getting out of this. She'd just have to show Minkvenom how she was ThunderClan's greatest pouncer, and how she totally-definitely didn't need to do something like this.
