Predator and prey

Night Hunting

There were some familiar faces in this lesson. Magpiepaw, Rookfire - Springburst was amongst the newer faces, joining for her first ShadowClan lesson, and subtly Sleepysunrise wondered how Springburst and Rookfire would be getting along, hailing from the same clan. If they began arguing she would have to put them in timeout… If they began talking about their fishy heritage, she could only lend an ear for information of good use. She wondered, Was Springburst a better swimmer than Rookfire? Could she bribe Rookfire, and possible Springburst, into further teaching her how to navigate the waters? She ought to better trust Rookfire wouldn’t drown her, but she wondered in RiverClan’s teachings had been so sporadic that every apprentice was taught differently. Speaking of, the enforcer was left surprised that Rookfire wished to attend a lesson on hunting within the darkness of all things; she couldn’t imagine mama not teaching him that.

ROOKFIRE
[ he/him | shadowclan enforcer | purrks ]

familiar faces once more, sleepysunrise of course, but also magpiepaw and (though less so) springburst who he had spoken to once and then kind of lost track of. he was curious about how they were doing in shadowclan, wondering if she had proven her worth yet. she should, since its been what? three moons? whatever, its been a while, she shouldve done something spectacular by now.
rookfire didnt think about it because he doesnt really spend his time rethinking his skills in comparison to other cats that werent enforcers or trying to impress him, but id like to let you know that rook mostly just pretends to be a good swimmer so its probably fact that spring is the better swimmer. even though rook had lost left his apprenticeship behind (would be a bit weird to train two apprentices and not be a warrior or more yet but alas) but his desire to learn more skills, get better at everything he could manage and leave no weaknesses as a opening for others to use against him, so it wasnt really odd for him to follow along sleepysunrise for a lesson on night hunting. whilst he expected lostspark to know very well about anything night related with how freakishly she seemed to entirely be swallowed by the shadows, his own training had been short lived and a bit rushed, so the former medic turned enforcer had only taken care of the minimum; battle, hunting et cetera. roachflare had proven a good trainer anyway, so even with the very basic knowledge he had, he couldnt complain about being promoted before reaching a more satisfying end to his training. tail uncurling from around his seated form, the enforcer lazily stretched his frontal limbs out, claws briefly digging into soft soil and his remaining ear twitching before repositioning himself into the same position as before to continue waiting.

Wide caramel eyes adjusted to the darkness that engulfed her pelt. She could make out a line of trees and was aided by a few points of starlight. Dearest mammy and baba, tell me why all of my official mentors have failed me? And for WHAT!? I'm pretty sure I did quite literally EVERYTHING RIGHT!!! And yet they still got lazy. Magpiepaw sent a little prayer to the stars, but mostly to her family. She was positive they were listening, they always listened to her. It was kinda nice, how they were dead but she could still lean on them as if they were living. They had yet to visit her down here, but Magpiepaw didn't mind. Starclan was supposed to be paradise, right? Then they deserved to stay and she'd save the reunion for when she got there herself.

She narrowed her gaze as she trailed her focus on each of the cats with her. Rookie and two cats she knew but didn't care a rats butt about. Since Sleepysunrise was leading this lesson, she was hoping this cat had some actual experience in her paws or else Magpiepaw would march right back to sleep. Magpiepaw did what she wanted, she was far too hurt to really care.

With a slow turn of her head she let out a sigh. Where the heck was Springburst? "Stars, does nocat want to actually do anything these days?" Magpiepaw commented at full volume, not worried if anycat heard her or not. She didn't care, why would she care? She just needed the training, something she severely lacked.
