She/her - 8 moons
Short grey molly with a darker stripe and amber eyes

She did as Squirrels told her, tasting the air and sniffing around until she could make out a familiar scent that also seemed strong enough to follow. She could remember it from the freshkill pile just fine, and the association with feathers came to mind, but she wasn't experienced enough to know the exact sort of prey that she was smelling yet, but it was clear that it was there.

She began to sneak after it, sinking into the crouch again. It was a robin, and Pigeonpaw was about to prepare for her mighty leap, but the dang thing wouldn't stay still. For a heartbeat it poked at something in the ground, but the next it had hoped to the side and was looking at something else. She tried to follow it, so get close enough to pounce without being noticed, but after a minute that felt like much longer, the little bird seemed to have gotten bored or somehow been alerted of her presence, because it flew off.

Alright, no, she could catch something! It wasn't hard to find another scent, it never seemed to be. This one didn't remind her of feathers, and she instead associated it with brown fur. She managed to locate the shrew fairly quickly, snaking towards it and trying to remember both what Squirrels and Thorats had said.
Then she pounced... and slammed a paw down at the shrew!

"Squirrels! I did it! I cau- AHH" it almost squirmed out from under her paw before she remembered to kill and quickly ducked to give it a good bite before hopping up again and rushing towards Squirrels. "Look look!"
@furrensic

SQUIRRELRISE
she/her. 13 moons. small, scarred russet molly with brown markings and yellow eyes.
[ chill of death, hulk SMASH ]

squirrelrise decides to stick to the sidelines, not wanting to risk pigeonpaw losing focus. she watches the younger molly closely, noticing that she's caught a scent. the first attempt seems to go wrong, a conclusion she comes to after she catches the light sound of wings flapping and a robin flying overhead a few moments later. she's fully prepared to comfort the apprentice, but is pleased to see pigeonpaw stalking away in the distance, assuming she's following another scent.

she stands upon hearing her name (or, nickname, really) called. a smile forms when she hears pigeonpaw calling that she's done it. yet, her smile completely drops at the yell, mind immediately assuming the worst. was it a rat that she caught? did it bite her? did a snake come from a bush?! oh stars!! she frets, anxiety holding her in a tight grip as she races towards the apprentice. her hearts already sinking to her stomach, chest tightening. she'll never forgive herself if pigeons gotten hurt under her watch!

oh.

"..oh." she croaks, coming to a stop when she notices pigeonpaw racing towards her with a shrew in tow. nothing bad happened, she reassures herself with a small sigh, a smile appearing. "good job..pigeonpaw..!! you did gr-great." she meows. pigeon was, or at least appeared, much less nervous than she did when she'd caught her first prey. something that feels like it happened so long ago."l-let's head..back to..camp..okay? I'm s-sure your..mentor will be v-very..impressed."

she turns once pigeonspaw agrees, leading the apprentice back to camp.

[ @Luminous figured we could wrap this up here ]
