speak of the devil(s), three apprentices were quick to appear at his call. wormbite gave a short nod towards aspenpaw, waiting to see if anymore cats would appear. maybe,, another warrior,, please... he did not do well with children. soon it became clear it would just be him and the three apprentices. "alright you three, come along, " he spoke before trotting outside of camp.
the oriental would lead them out into the territory a decent way until he smelt less of his clanmates and more of the surrounding prey. turning to face the apprentices, "aspenpaw, feel free to begin hunting. simply make sure to not stray too far - keep in hearing distance, " he warned carefully, it would be dreadful if stormstar gave him an earful for losing an apprentice but truthfully how were they supposed to be independent if they weren't allowed a taste of it ?
turning to the other two, "can either of you hunt? or shall we go over the hunter's crouch?" he inquired.
★ ULTIMATE PREDATOR ★ JUST A SCRATCH ★ SHADOW FIEND ★ SURVIVAL INSTINCTS
With both apprentices now up and out of their nests, the leader grinned and turned to lead the way out of camp. "We'll be workin' on huntin' first. Land huntin', since we're gettin' into leaf-bare 'n can't rely on the rivers incase they freeze over." While leaf-bare was her favorite time of year - she would never admit it, but watching the first snow fall made her feel like a little kit all over again - it wasn't the greatest for fishing, which was RiverClan's main source of prey.
"Either of you know the basic crouch yet? Or what to focus on when stalkin' prey?" Turning around once they had reached a good spot, Stormstar glanced at both apprentices, mostly wondering if Talonpaw had picked up anything.
White paws silently carried the graceful figure of the silver she-cat, her tail flicking behind her with each step. Ears swiveling at each small noise. Her nose twitched as she spotted her goal. A shimmering patch of river that was perfect to sit and watch for fish. The bank was laid out just so, and she would easily be able to grab at any fish that swam her way. Even with her shoulder.
She slunk to her chosen spot, setting in and allowing her keen eyes to peer into the water; she was watching for any shimmer of scales under the surface. The first glimpse of scale and she would strike.

Primrosepaw RiverClan Apprentice Ultimate Predator
Trick of the Eye
Go with the Flow
She / Her ; 13 Moons 143 / 100
Primrosepaw´s emerald hues narrowed as Wormbite sent Aspenpaw off, her ears twitching at his question toward Marigoldpaw and herself. ´´Adderstrike, Brokenstream, and Goldfish all taught me how to hunt, though I was naturally good at it,´´ She commented, her thick-furred tail swaying behind her. She opened her jaws slightly to taste the air, her head turning in the direction of a rustling sound.
[ Ultimate Predator has been activated. ]
Crouching, Primrosepaw stopped all movement, stalking forward slowly. The scent of shrew filled the apprentice´s scent glands, making her mouth water. One more heartbeat...
NOW.
Primrosepaw sprang, clearing the undergrowth easily and pinning the shrew to the ground with a snowy forepaw before it even had the chance to squeal in terror or try to escape. She bent her head and sank her teeth in its neck, silently thanking StarClan for her kill. Satisfied, the apprentice leapt back over the brambles and strode over to Wormbite and Marigoldpaw, the shrew between her jaws.
[OOC: I double checked to be sure and it looks like it was Ravenpaw that wanted to train with Owltalon for some advanced combat skills!]
Ravenpaw bounded after Owltalon excitedly, honored and thrilled by the opportunity to train with the RiverClan Deputy. She caught up quickly, nodding eagerly when she did. "Yes! You see, I want to be the strongest - or, at least among the strongest - warriors in RiverClan one day!" She meowed proudly, standing tall. "I'd like to learn some more advanced fighting techniques. I heard you taught lessons on predator combat." When she finished explaining, she dipped her head respectfully. "Please, Owltalon, teach me so I can be strong and protect my clan!"

"Are you listening, starchild?"

(decided to make the name thing a running gag for owl >:3)
Owltalon smiled toothily at the apprentice. If she was ready, then Owltalon certainly was. She gave the cat a glance before she spoke, her amber eyes burning with adrenaline. "Any specific predator? Or technique?" She asked. Sometimes cats had a preference, sometimes they didn't. Regardless, Owltalon was going to ask.
"Ya don't 'ave ta know the specifics," she added. "But I'm welcome ta teach anythin' ya got in mind, eh?"

Ravenpaw beamed, whiskers with excitement. She shook her head. “I don’t know enough to have any specific requests. Wherever you think would be a good place for me to start is okay by me!” She purred.
