(Oooh, okay! Twigpaw could come because he wants to join them, maybe? :3)
Pepperfur stepped into the clearing, his gaze turning across the grassy camp as he looked for the cats he intended to take on patrol. "Crowclaw, Wasppaw, and Stormpaw, I'd like you to come with me on hunting patrol." He called, holding his head high as he waited for the cats he had picked to join him.

Crowclaw's ears perked up. Perfect timing. It seems a hunting patrol is just exactly what everyone wanted to do at the moment. Twigpaw asks Crowclaw if he can come along. She doesn't see much of a problem with it, however, she should probably ask Pepperfur first. The bi-color she-cat heads toward Pepperfur. "Twigpaw would like to come along as well, sadly we can't seem to find my sister. Is it okay though, if he joins us?"

Stormpaw padded over to his mentor. He would rather be doing battle training, but he had learned not to argue with his mentor.

Pepperfur nodded at Crowclaw's request, flicking his bushy tail to signal for Twigpaw to join the gathering patrol. "That should be fine." He meowed. He nodded approvingly at Stormpaw's obedience, knowing how stubborn the young tom could be if he wanted his way. "Good, Stormpaw." He praised.

Stormpaw kneaded the ground with his paws. "Can we leave now?"

Twigpaw padded on over to the small group. He was quiet as usual, standing closer to Wasppaw and his mentor's sister. Crowclaw was looking to Pepperfur for the answer on whether or not they could leave.

Pepperfur nodded in response, and he lead the patrol out of camp, his gaze turning around before he seemed to decide where he would take them to hunt. His small form always made it look more like an apprentice was leading the larger warriors of Dayclan. He turned to travel on toward the trees that became more dense in the territory, his tail held high.

Crowclaw follows after him, she watched the sky and trees and such around and above them as they passed around the territory. She felt the trees become denser and the spaces around them thinner. Twigpaw acknowledged this as well. The gaps in the trees, besides maybe the path they were following, were closer than before. This was a denser part of the forest after all. The broad-shouldered apprentice followed after Crowclaw, just as quiet as before they'd left.

Wasppaw followed right behind her mentor with her tail high in the air. Finally, something to do outside of camp today! Maybe one day she could go out on her own as an apprentice, but hunting with the other apprentices is just as fun.

Stormpaw followed at the back of the group, tasting the air. He looked forward to digging his claws into something.

At conflicting scents of two different prey hit Pepperfur's nose, one of a squirrel, and one sparrow, Pepperfur signaled with his tail for the group to split up to hunt down each. He nodded to Stormpaw to follow him as he followed the scent trail of the sparrow, slipping into the overgrowth to seek out the prey.

Crowclaw split off to track the squirrel. Twigpaw follows close behind her, scenting the air to see how close it might be. Both cats stepped slowly and carefully, attempting to make little to no sound as they approached the squirrel. Crowclaw's eyes flickered around, looking for any signs of movement.

Pepperfur lead his apprentice along through the overgrowth, his jaws parted to drink in the scent of the bird he was looking for. His gaze turned up at the sound of birdsong, his large ears swiveling forward, and he found what they were looking for. Taking the opportunity to show Stormpaw how to catch the winged prey, He meowed in a whisper, “Watch.” And the small deputy slunk to the base of the tree before swiftly climbed up the trunk and onto the base of the branch the bird had perched upon. Using his lighter weight to his advantage, he crept forward along the branch. The moment he was close enough to snag it, his weight tipped the branch and alerted the bird to his presence. It didn’t matter though. He caught the bird’s wing in his claws and brought it down to break its wing with a swift blow. He nudged the now flightless prey down to Stormpaw on the ground. “Finish it off.” He instructed briskly.

At Pepperfur's command, he pounced on the bird and dug his claws into it to hold it still. He watched it struggle for a few moments, his eyes glittering, before bending his head and biting it on the back of the neck, killing it.

The small tom climbed back down, giving Stormpaw a small nod. "Good job, Stormpaw." He meowed, making sure to give the unpredictable tom praise before anything else. "But remember, we should keep our prey's suffering short. Starclan gave us this life for us to eat, and it shouldn't be taken for granted."

Crowclaw quietly crept along, finally spotting the squirrel. The she-cat nods to Wasppaw and Twigpaw. She has two apprentices with her and they might as well both show her what they've been learning. Twigpaw decides to let Wasppaw go first, looking to the she-cat for her first move.
((Ima just move it along a bitt : P

Wasppaw nodded abruptly to her mentor, then lowered her body and crept toward the squirrel. It sat at the base of the closest tree, nibbling on a nut. She tried to keep her tail low, but it soon brushed against a pile of debris as she grew near. The squirrel squeaked and scurried up the tree. Shoot! The ginger she-cat thought with a hiss under her breath, and darted after the squirrel, standing on her hind legs against the tree. It almost reached a branch when Wasppaw grabbed it by the tail and yanked it down and killed it quickly with a bite. She looked to Crowclaw, feeling more frazzled than anything, and slightly embarrassed.

Twigpaw stands from his short crouch and gives Wasppaw a small smile. Crowclaw too stands and smiles to her apprentice. "That was good. You've got to keep track of your surroundings just a bit more but I think everyone's got trouble with that." she told her.
"I think that was better than what I could've probably done." Twigpaw gives a short laugh. Hes a big cat plus he can't climb trees that well.

"Yes, Pepperfur," he meowed, though he didn't really understand or care. It's just prey. It's not like it matters in the long run, he thought scornfully.

Wasspaw smiled sheepishly. "Thanks," she said, then quickly covered the squirrel in dirt. She looked at Twigpaw with sparkling eyes, shrugging off the bad parts of the catch. "Now it's your turn," she mewed.

Twigpaw rolls his eyes. The tom scents out the air nd follows the trail of another squirrel. Crowclaw follows behind him as she stalks along. Twigpaw pauses before he leaps out to the squirrel swiftly catching it and killing it. He hasn't done that well before im hunting. Hes pretty proud of himself there.

Stormpaw parted his jaws to taste the air, pricking his ears and looking around. He spotted a clump of tall grass waving, and moments later scented rabbit. He dropped into the hunters' crouch and slowly stalked toward the clump of grass. When he was close enough, he pounced, but the rabbit heard him seconds before and sprinted away. Stormpaw took off after the rabbit, quickly gaining on it, until he finally took a massive leap and tackled the rabbit to the ground. He snapped the rabbit's neck and picked it up in his jaws, shaking the dust off his pelt, and carried it back to where Pepperfur was waiting.

Pepperfur had watched Stormpaw scent and catch the rabbit carefully. He thought the apprentice might have lost the catch when it heard him and made a run for it - but he was fast just as much as he was strong. Pepperfur watched from afar, impressed to see how well he handled catching the prey even though it was on the run. He set down the bird, and he nodded his approval as Stormpaw padded back to join him. "You handled that very well - I've seen many apprentices give up the hunt after a rabbit starts running. But I always say, never give up until you can't reach or smell your prey anymore, especially when its still on the ground." He meowed importantly. It was still a bad old habit of his to have a small sense of superiority in his knowledge and skills, as much as he knew he shouldn't.

I knew I could catch it," he meowed simply.

When Twigpaw was finished, Wasppaw popped up from her crouch a foxlength away. "Good job!" Wasppaw said with a purr, as it was much cleaner than hers was. Then she looked back at Crowclaw. "How much more prey should we catch?"

Pepperfur narrowed his eyes at Stormpaw's response, but didn't say anything. He nodded. "Let's get back with the rest of the patrol. How about you scent them out?" He instructed, his bushy tail faintly twitching. He took up the bird in his jaws again and waited for his apprentice to lead the way back to the rest of their group.
