Antshrikewing shook his head. “No. If anyone asks, you came out of camp with me, with my permission. ” he meowed, sitting and wrapping his tail over his paws. “I used to leave camp all the time as a kit.” he looked around as he said that, listening to the constant chirping of birds in trees.

"Really? This is my first time out. I only came because I was bored in camp. No one wants to play." She scowled and curled her tail over her paws.

“Exactly why I used to sneak out. Would you like me to teach you to hunt early?” he lowered his voice, and crouched down again so he was eye level with Tigerkit. He looked around. “Then you can show all the other kits what you can do, and they might play with ya'.”

"Yes please!" said Tigerkit. Her heart was pounding excitedly. Her first real warrior lesson was beginning!

“Okay. First, crouch down like this, and make sure you spread your weight through all four paws.” Antshrikewing said, demonstrating what she was supposed to do while he spoke.

Tigerkit copied him, crouching low. A leaf fluttered and her tail twitched.

“Careful. You've got to be very still.” Antshrikewing warned. “Okay, now creep forwards very slowly, careful not to step on leaves or twigs or dry grass. And be careful not to brush her fur or tail against anything.” he watched Tigerkit, curious to see how she'd do.

[dino.]

Tigerkit followed his instructions carefully, pausing to check what was below her before she set a paw down. She avoided the twigs and bushes until she got to a leaf. She pounced, landing squarely on it, and sat up happily. "I caught my first prey! Did you see, did you see? I caught it!"

“Great job!” Antshrikewing purred enthusiastically. “Now, scent the air. What do you smell?” he asked, parting his jaws to taste the air. He stopped, looking at Tigerkit curiously, wondering what she would smell. He didn't smell a thing, but he'd had a stuffy nose this morning and was having a harder time scenting the air because of that.

The kit tasted the air and then turned towards him, her eyes gleaming excitedly. "Mouse!" she whispered.
