Strawberrypaw felt the excitement building inside her as she crouched by the riverbank, ready to pounce on any fish that came her way. Deerspark was watching her intently, and she knew she had to make him proud. As she waited, she saw a flash of silver in the water and she lunged forward, using her teeth and paws to catch the fish. She pulled it out of the water and held it up triumphantly for Deerspark to see. She could see the pride in his eyes as he watched her, and it made her heart swell with happiness. She knew that she was becoming a better fisher-cat under his guidance.

Deerspark leaped up like a meerkat, and he nearly fell on his face because of it. He launched himself up to his paws and was practically radiating excitement. "That's a big one!" He crowed. Wow, that was probably the loudest thing he'd said all evening.
He bounded over to his apprentice and leaned over her shoulder. He took the newly caught fish in his jaws and buried it near the riverbank but far enough to the point where the prey would stay underground.
"You're a natural," he beamed at her as he kicked up sand. He must be a really good teacher. "Think you can... Can try and get the other ones?" After he was done digging he walked back up to her. "They're a bit more tricky. If you think you can only... Stick to the ones near the surface, then do that."
Either option was fine for him actually. Strawberrypaw showed great promise and he couldn't wait to congratulate her in front of the clan when the time came.
