(Raw fish is my favorite type of food haha ) Wolfshadow smirked. "Don't feel bad. My first time catching a crab I got pinched on my nose." He said with a chuckle.

((Nice! Do you like salmon?))
Duskfeather's eyes widened. "Oh my! Were you okay?" She dipped her head. "Once a sparrow clawed me with its feet, but other than that I don't think I've had prey fight back.

"I mean, I wouldn't ever ask for another mentor- I don't think I want to, its just the cats here take some getting used to." He tried, not wanting to speak ill of anyone. Wolfshadow growled internally, realizing the conversation wouldn't get Bogpaw on his side. "Well, thank you for your very helpful tips," he lied smoothly.

"Once a sparrow clawed me with its feet, but other than that I don't think I've had prey fight back. (I love it!) "It was swollen for a few days. Icefire had a pretty good laugh about it," he said as he shook his head, looking back.

The she-cat laughed. "You can always count on siblings to make fun of you." She thought of her own brother with another laugh.

"Maybe they just like... more nicer cats then us, I suppose," Bogpaw said with a sigh, surprised that those words slipped out of his mouth but it did. Mudfang shook his head. "I don't believe that. You seem like a very nice cat." he told Bogpaw. "Who's feeding you these lies? Your mentor?!" He said anything he could to get the apprentice on his side. ( //You can hear Sparrowtail crying in the distance. // cx I'm sorry I just... and if it's not too late she can totally wake up and overhear, just gimme a second. )

Duskfeather met his gaze happily. "We ended up getting the better of that crab though! Thanks for teaching me!"

The big orange tom laughed. "Thank you Honeypaw, but I'm fine! My pelt never seems to get clean of dust these days before I mess it up again." He shrugged, not seeming the least bit bothered by the issue. "But hey, I was going to take Honeypaw hunting, if you two don't have anything else to do, perhaps you'd like to join us?" Crowpaw flashed Foxpaw one last glare as the tom cat giggled at him, then nodded enthusiastically to Pumpkinstripe with a smile. He jumped to his paws, hoping he didn't look too dusty from his tumble and happy to go hunting. "Sure, why not!" Foxpaw said with a grin. "Bet I can catch more prey than all of you!" He added cheerfully.

(This is the time where I get poofy until the food comes)
Wolfshadow smiled. "Of course! I had a lot of fun with you," he told her warmly.

Honeypaw smiled warmly at the two apprentices. She was happy for the company.

Duskfeather purred, raising her chin and closing her eyes briefly, "as did I! We make a great team!" She looked down at the crab dubiously, wondering how best to carry it back to camp, yet definitely in no rush to end the little adventure.
Pumpkinstripe grinned, "not until I tell you the secret to hunting any prey- ever!" He led the way out of camp without another word.
((It's all good! Enjoy your dinner!))

Honeypaw bounded up to him. "What is it?!" She asked, her blue eyes wide wit curiosity.
Wolfshadow nodded and looked at her. "We do..." he trailed off as he picked up two of the legs with his mouth.

Duskfeather brushed his shoulder gratefully with her tail, leading the way back up the shore at a leisurely pace. She breathed in the warm evening air.
Pumpkinstripe met her gaze seriously. "All you have to do," he began, "is..." trailing off, he tipped his head. "Are you sure you want to know?"

( Ok. c: I may vanish on and off too, watching videos. )
Crowpaw raised an eyebrow as Pumpkinstriep mentioned the 'secret', giving Foxpaw a glance, as if asking him if he knew anything. Foxpaw shrugged, and hurried to keep up with Pumpkinstripe and Honeypaw, Crowpaw trailing after him. "Yes! We want to know!" Foxpaw said as he walked beside Pumpkinstripe, looking up at him with wide blue eyes. Crowpaw simply nodded, also curious.
( Also going to go and type more forms, so brb. )

Pumpkinstripe leaned in, lowering his voice to increase the drama. "The secret is," he whispered, "to catch the prey."

Both Crowpaw and Foxpaw had leaned closer to Pumpkinstipe in tehir anticipation for his reply, only to, when they finally heard it, stare in temporary confusion. Crowpaw looked amused, but Foxpaw seemed a bit annoyed.
"Hey!" Foxpaw exclaimed. "We know that!"

Pumpkinstripe laughed, "oh, do you?" He joked. "Well how about this one: find the small trails in the leaves where prey tends to run, and wait for it to come by again. It's nearly foolproof."

"Oh." Foxpaw stated, looking around, as if expecting to spot one of said trails right away. "I didn't know that."
Crowpaw decided to set to hunting and sniffed the air, looking up at the trees around them. He then directed his gaze towards the water. Maybe he could try fishing? He'd never been very good at it.

Pumpkinstripe nodded. "It's very helpful for cats with brighter pelts, like us. Prey finds it harder to see predators who are still than those who are moving." He quickly led them to a path that he knew was nearby. "Why don't you give it a shot?"

Duskfeather brushed his shoulder gratefully with her tail, leading the way back up the shore at a leisurely pace. She breathed in the warm evening air. Pumpkinstripe met her gaze seriously. "All you have to do," he began, "is..." trailing off, he tipped his head. "Are you sure you want to know?" Wolfshadow's fur grew hot as he followed behind her.

Honeypaw puffed up her fur. "Hooray for bright pelts!" She squeaks.

Pumpkinstripe grinned back at her. "All the more reason to learn stealth! Here, crouch down behind that branch," he directed, pointing with his tail to a bush close to the path.

Duskfeather continued to pad along, holding back some leaves with her tail for him to pass under.

"Yeah!" Foxpaw said in reply to Honeypaw as he hurried after Pumpkinstripe. Crowpaw followed a bit slower, overall just enjoying being with his friends and brother, as well as still wishing to try fishing. Maybe after Pumpkinstripe showed them the path and they hunted there for a bit, he could also teach them some fishing.
Foxpaw listened to Pumpkinstripe's directions and flattened himself near the branch, eyes fixed on the path, while Crowpaw followed in his slower way, sitting a bit farther back.

A mouse darted along the path, slowed slightly by the seed in its mouth. "Now!" Pumpkinstripe hissed, tensing.

Foxpaw, eyes wide in his anticipation, leapt for it. Being relatively close he ended up landing on top of the mouse, smothering it in his fur. It was trapped for an instant, but finally bit him in it's fright, making him pull away in surprise and resulting in it scurrying away.
Crowpaw's whiskers twitched in amusement as his flustered brother glared after it.
"Ack! What'd I do wrong?" Foxpaw asked, dusting a few tangled leaves off his head he's collected in his tumble.
