Rainsplash turned and flicked his tail as Fallenpaw to follow as he started to walk north a few fox-lengths away from the river.

"Do you need help hunting or are you confident in your ability? I haven't seen you hunt, so I wanted to ask, but I feel you're ready."
She murred quietly, quite proud of her apprentice. Despite all her set backs, she was doing well.

Ivorypaw gave a nod,” I have gotten pretty good at hunting recently. A few random warriors have seen me in camp and ordered me to go hunting with them.” she meowed twitching her tail slightly.

Breezehen gave her a small smile before turning to the task at paw. She crouched, ears perked, mouth slightly ajar to help as she scented and her eyes darted about, partially blind but able to see movements and shapes.
She crept foward as tiny movements flashed in front of her beneath and behind the grasses. She leapt and slammed her paw into it, smackimg it to the ground to confirm her aim before aiming a bite to its throat.
She turned back to Ivorypaw.
Unknown to her, the kill had been very messy and blood was smeared on her paws and mouth, not smelling it with the prey in her jaws and not feeling it because of her long fur.

Ivorypaw gave a glanced a Breezehen’s messy catch before carefully dropping into a crouch and stalking a small squirrel before leaping and pinning it she held it pinned as she took a deep breathe and muttered,” Sorry.“ before biting it’s neck so it died.

Fallenpaw followed close behind, not wanting to lose sight of her mentor.

She was already out of breath, and she was not here for it. It seemed that her time stuck inside the medicine cats den took more of a toll on her stamina than she thought. She leaned against a tree for a moment to catch her breath before starting to slowly transition from a steady trot to going back to running at the same pace she was at prior.

Dart ahead, sniff around, check the sky, look back, and return to Snowfern. Dart ahead, sniff around, check the sky, look back, and return to Snowfern. Dart ahead, sniff around, check the sky, look back, and return to Snowfern. The small tabby had loads of energy to burn and even with the trot her mentor was keeping Willowpaw was rapidly outpacing her by sheer energy alone not even mentioning the speed she'd been gaining as she grew. Her excitement fuelled her as she darted around examining everything and anything before remembering the other she cat and returning to her side, only to get distracted soon after. Snowfern was gonna teach her to swim! This was the most important lesson ever! Willowpaw could only hope she was any good at it, if she wasn't she was going to be devastated.
"Snowfern! What if I turn out to be bad at swimming?! What if I can barley paddle, what if you need a tail to swim well? I dont have one of those! If I cant swim I cant be riverclan and what happens then!" The small apprentice blurted suddenly. Her fur was puffed up slightly and eyes wide as she looked up at Snowfern while keeping pace, just starting to work herself into a panic.

(Sorry for the absence! Im gonna need to remember this is early apprentice willowpaw a lot during this rp lol)

Yes! Stormtalon was giving Sootpaw a chance! She would not let her mouth ever, ever, ever speak the words he would say. What if it was he had some secret power that he needed to use every night or something like that? Of course, he probably didn’t, but the suspense was killing her.

Then his tail pointed across the river. What was over there? She couldn’t see anything. Ooh! What if it was an invisible thing? No, that just sounded stupid. but seriously what if it was~

‘StarClan will come alive tonight’? So he was stargazing? That didn’t seem like much of a secret. Why was he acting so weird about it? ”Okay, I understand.” she mewed, though she didn’t really. Wait- did that include or exclude her? It was unclear, so why not ask? “So does that include me?”

Breezehen's ears perked up while she was stashing her catch, hearing Ivorypaw's murmer of apology. As the apprentice padded back to her, Breezehen leaned in towards her.
"There is no need to apologize; give thanks instead, for it has given its life so we may eat."
She knew Ivorypaw always had this... quirk of feeling guilty when she killed prey. Perhaps if she saw it differently, she would feel less guilt in the future.

Ivorypaw gave a nod,” Right...“ she meowed she instinctively wanted to apologize for that, but knew she’d get stuck in the endless loop of apologizing for apologizing. So she forced herself not to. She wasn’t sure what to do or say now so she waited for Breezehen to tell her what to do next.

Breezehen motioned for Ivorypaw to continue hunting.
She listened for any scuffle and scurries of ground dwelling creatures. She stalked foward, ears perked and mouth ajar.
A squirrel darted down a tree, very close to her and she whirled, trying to catch the creature and slammed it into the tree, stunning it long enough she could snap its neck. This kill was much cleaner.
She concealed it and moved on.
A sudden breeze blew past, going through her whiskers and she remembered how much she missed climbing trees to chase squirrels and try for birds, even though she knew she could never catch a bird while in the trees.
She made herself ignore this feeling and keep hunting.
She only managed to catch one more mouse and her luck seemed to run out by then. Hopefully Ivorypaw had better luck.
