(Jade, I leave the corrections for Blizzardsky to you... So just come down from there.)
Bumblepaw purred as he flicked her back. "Are you trying to make fun of me?" He asked dropping the acorn onto the ground and sliding up slighlty closer to Cloudpaw.

(It sounds like fun! Go for it!)
Featherspark leaned over, unable to stifle a sympathetic giggle. “That happens a lot in the beginning,” she teased gently, twitching her tail dispel a few droplets that had landed on her silver pelt. “Be glad you’re not learning in the middle of leaf-bare.”

"Maybe." Bumblepaw said, sitting down next to Cloudpaw. Despite his best attempts, he couldn't help stare at her.
Mistyfur nodded. "Much better. Kill it before it escapes."

(It's fine!  ) Bumblepaw forced himself to tear his eyes away from her while she was looking at him. "Is that so? Well then, I'll be sure to catch one for you soon." He said, filing the fact that Cloudpaw's favorite prey was squirrels under important information."Now you just need to practice for a while and you'll be better than us!" Mistyfur purred. |

“Yeah, you’re a natural!” Featherspark purred, grinning. She glanced into the water, letting her gaze trace the surface for any fresh signs of prey. As she caught sight of a flash beneath the surface, she shot out her paw and flipped a small fish neatly onto the bank, finishing it off with a swift bite. She lifted her head, shaking water droplets from her whiskers proudly. “And look—you brought good luck!” She added with a laugh.

Bumblepaw took a minute to think about it before responding to Cloudpaw's question. "I would have to say water vole."
"Trust me, give it time and a bit more practice, then you'll at least be as good as us." Mistyfur purred, flicking Blizzardsky with her tail.

Featherspark smiled encouragingly. “Yeah, you should’ve seen me when I first started! I couldn’t catch a fish if it jumped onto the bank!” She tilted her head, her whiskers twitching. “Actually, that happened once. I was so surprised that I couldn’t get my paws on it. Mistyfur may be a natural-born hunter, but some of us really do learn through practice.”

"Hey, I'm not a natural born hunter. I just had a really good mentor before I came to the clan." Mistyfur said, sitting down at the edge of the stream.

Intruiged, Featherspark pulled her eyes from their wanderings across the water and fixes her gaze on Mistyfur. "Who was your mentor?" She prompted, doing her best to avoid sounding demanding—not one of the naturally-enthusiasic she-cat's greatest skills.

"An old geezer who found me out in the woods. Everyone called him 'Old Bark.' He was actually kind of like a leader that didn't have nine lives to tell you the truth, and it seemed like he knew everything that there was to know about... Well, everything." Mistyfur sighed, remembering the days before she joined the clan.

Featherspark loosed a soft breath, feeling an odd tug of whistfulness for this cat that she had never met. "He sounds amazing," she replied, trailing a paw across the surface of the water. "He and Sparrowstar should've compared notes!" She smiled wryly at the metnion of her mother.

"He was amazing. He definetly could have taught Sparrowstar a few things... Although I'm not sure that she could have taught him anything." Mistyfur sighed. "Interesting is pushing it a little bit, but I guess it's acurate."
Mental note, Cloudpaw doesn't like chewy things. Bumblepaw thought to himself, mentally recording that information for later usage. "I never knew that." He said out loud.

“Were there other cats in your group?” Featherspark asked, flicking her tail. “Or was it just the two of you?”

"There was at least as many as there are in Sparrowclan. Old Bark was... Not the leader, but more like the advisor. He's what held the group together, but he didn't lead." Mistyfur said, digging further into her memory.
"You don't need to do that. You should eat what you want unless you don't have the choice." Bumblepaw said, nudging her. "How about I go out early tommorrow and try to catch you a nice, juicy squirrel?"

“That’s cool!” Featherspark replied, tilting her head. “So you didn’t really have a leader? Who made the decisions?”

"For the most part, they decided what to do on their own. I didn't but thats because I was far to young, and was stuck to Old Bark like a blackberry to the vine. Still, there was some sort of unspoken, peaceful order to the chaos." Mistyfur continued. "I still like the clan system better, but I could see myself living in a community like that."
"A gift isn't a gift if you expect a return." Bumblepaw said, flicking Cloudpaw with his tail.

Featherspark grinned. “Well, It sounds amazing to me! I wish I could meet the group!” She paused as she opened her mouth again, suddenly unsure, the question teetering on the edge of her tongue. “How did you end up with us?”

Mistyfur flinched as Featherspark asked how she had ended up with Sparrowclan. The good memories had just run out. "I-I would rather not talk about that." She said weakly, glancing the other way.

Featherspark averted her eyes quickly, feeling a blade of discomfort shoot through her belly. "Sorry," she replied with embarassment, adjusting her stance to face the river head-on again. Her ears burned uncomfortable, but she forced cheerfulness into her voice as she gazed across the water. "Does anyone see any more fish? None have passed in a while, I think."

Mistyfur stood up and stretched. "Should we head up river then?"

"Sounds good to me," Featherspark chimed in, rising to her paws and arching her spine luxuriously. She glanced around briefly, her mouth half-open to taste the air for hints of a fruitful direction, though she had never been a skilled-enough tracker to expect to scent much of anything from this distance. And, anyway, you can't smell fish. "Lead the way," she remarked instead, dipping her head to her companions.

Mistyfur nodded and started leading the way upstream. She scented the air as she went, seeing if there was any prey lurking just out of sight.
