Training with Nightpaw

*pads in and sits*

*Pads into the clearing and twitches tail*
What's first, SunStar?

*ears twitch*
Is there anything particular you would like to learn?

*shrugs*
Not really

Why don't we... learn to hunt first.
*pads down farther into the forest*

*Bounds after her mentor*

*purrs*
Show me a hunter's crouch.

*crouches down, keeping her tail parallel to the ground*
*keeps her paws apart to stay balanced*
*whiskers flick*

*purrs*
Wonderful, now prowl foward keeping your weight on your haunches.

*carefully moves forward, not making a sound*

*purrs proudly*
Alright, now I want you to catch a mouse, using what youve showed me.

*nods*
*pricks ears and smells the air*
Tree root on my right

*crouches down and stalks the mouse*
*leaps on it, silently and not too high*
*brings the mouse to Sunstar*

*nudges you and smiles*
Great catch.
*looks around*
You have to be fast but silent to catch a rabbit..
*bounds into the open area to find a rabbit*

*follows her mentor*

*stops and turns to Nightpaw*
You consider yourself.... quick, right?

*shrugs*
I guess....

*mews*
Good enough.
I want you to find and kill a rabbit.

*sniffs the air*
*a rabbit runs by*
*Nightpaw gives chase*
*The rabbit is starting to run faster, NightPaw sprints closer to it*
*with a swift blow, she kills the rabbit*

*pads to Nightpaw, purring*
One more type of prey, the bird.
*mews*
Your gonna have to be quick and be able to jump..
After this your hunting trainging shall be over.

*pricks ears*
*a sparrow takes flight over head*
*leaps into the air and bats the sparrow to the ground, killing it*

Good job Nightpaw.
*sits down*
Do you need any help bringing that back to camp?

Yeah
*picks up the bird and the mouse*

*picks up the rabbit and pads back to camp*

*pads back to camp*

Now..
*shakes off some dirt*
Would you like to learn to fight now?
