THAT was what she was looking for! Vinepaw was just about spot on, maybe a bit stiff still in the stalk but that would only work itself out with practice. It’s certainly good enough. Deadmoon deadpanned, by which she meant it was as better than anything she’d done at that age. Then again, her mentor had been trying to get her to catch rabbits, not teach her a skill she could actually use to contribute to the clan.

I think you’re ready to have a go at something real, over in that brushy bit beneath the pine. she mewed, indicating the location with a tip of her head. If it hadn’t already been obvious to Vinepaw that she approved of his crouch, it should be now. And they seemed to have kept the prey relatively unaware of their presence, with at least a mouse and some bird knocking around, looking for seeds. @Tallstar

Vinepaw’s pulse quickened as Deadmoon assessed his crouch. It was good to hear that his technique was improving, though he knew there was still room for growth. Deadmoon’s approval was a small but welcome boost to his confidence.

He followed the warrior’s gaze to the brush beneath the pine tree, where the scent of mouse and bird was faint but discernible. “Got it,” Vinepaw replied, his tone steady but focused. He adjusted his stance, preparing to put his skills to the test.

Moving carefully, he approached the brush with deliberate, silent steps. The rustling of prey was faint, but it was enough to guide him. This was his chance to prove himself, and he was determined to make it count.
