StonePaw would lean down and lick up the meat, her eyes growing large.
You’re right! That is good! It looks like a bug, but tastes like fish!

Fogpaw smiled. "I'll have to take you to Lionsbeach one of these days. There's crabs everywhere. I could even show you how to catch one.", he meowed. He could teach her how to feel the vibrations of when a crab walks by. That's how he knows ones there.

Letting out a sigh, Sootflare climbed to his paws once more and padded over to the other tom, being sure to step around the still-damp mossball. He did want to see Mossypaw improve, truly he did, but even with such an amiable conversation, he couldn't help but feel like they had a long way to go. Either way, he'd stick it out as long as he could. Sootflare was not a cat to give up so easily.

"I would appreciate it if you would look me in the eye rather than dig holes in the dirt, Mossypaw."

The tom wanted to sneer at the thought of not having his den to sleep in. Mossypaw nodded at the deputy and his advice, he was probably right and he couldn't imagine life without his clanmates.
He silently watched from his peripheral vision Sootflare moving closer to the apprentice and made his way in front of him. Sighing he stopped with digging and placed his dirt-covered paw next to the hole and stayed still. "Happy?" He lightly and sarcastically said to his mentor.

"Very." He replied, shooting back an equally cheeky smile.

"I think... we've made more progress today than I expected to. We only had a little shouting. It's been surprisingly pleasant. I think I've said all I can say today but If you want to seem like you're being productive, you're more than welcome to make your way to the nursery to help with nests or ticks and the like." His tone expressed the idea as more of an order than a suggestion but the deputy's wording specifically left it open for Mossypaw to decide what he wanted to do. Sootflare could order him around as much as he wanted, but it was up to Mossypaw to actually work on improving.

Thanks! I'd love to do that! I could teach you how to climb trees if you don't know! my Momma taught me before I came to RiverClan! StonePaw would stretch out a bit, licking her lips to get the last tastes of crab.

Fogpaw smiled. He ripped the rest of the shell off the crab and split the meat in half. He gave her one half and he took the other. "I don't know if I'd be able to. I can't hear.", he meowed. He took a bite out of his portion and swallowed.

StonePaw would think a second. Maybe you’re right, I mean, it’s more feeling the trunk, but what if there’s was a hawk nearby or something . . .
She’d take a thoughtful bite of crab.

"I'd be able to scent it before it got me, but I can't hear you give me instructions if your up in the tree.", he meowed. Fogpaw finished up his meal then began to lick his paws clean.

StonePaw would gulp down the rest of the crab before responding.
I had an Idea! We could practice on a log! It’s large enough to help you get the hang of it, but low enough that you could see me! She’d look proud of her idea.

Fogpaw smiled and nodded. "That sounds better. We can do that tomorrow. I gotta see if my mentor needs me.", he meowed, standing up. The young tom stood up and padded out of the den.
