Rosepaw quietly grimaced as he saw Daisyshade appear to be somewhat uncomfortable. Was that his fault? He hadn’t meant to hurt her feelings in any way, it just felt weird to have to do such big things on his first official mentoring session. However, he was relieved to not see any real disappointment on Daisy’s face. Sure, it ached that he had failed such a simple assignment, but he supposed things happened sometimes. As she continued to speak, Rose perked up a bit. Phloxpaw hadn’t been trained in hunting? That was a surprise to him. He hadn’t exactly met her yet, but still. It boosted the appretince’s mood a bit, making him slightly more excited. As Daisy began to walk again, Rose grimaced about the fact that he had to walk through mud again, pushing his way through it to stand next to Daisy. He barely came up to the deputy’s shoulder, something he was used to, but still stung either way. He wanted to be tall! He wanted to see things from a higher angle! But that couldn’t happen, he was most likely stuck the way he was. Looking in the water, he saw the rippled reflection of himself staring back at him. Now he just quietly nodded, waiting for Daisyshade to show him what to do.

Just thinking about steps to hunting made her a little confused and tongue tied, she just hunted regularly and it seemed impossible to break it down to a science since she had never had to explain how hunting worked. For a moment she sat there with her tail flicking nervously until she glanced back over her shoulder “ha, well, crouch like this make sure you keep your shadow off the river, and tread lightly because they will feel the vibrations of you coming. Never underestimate being sensed” she began making sure she exaggerated each movement. Her hind legs where crouched and her center of gravity was placed on her hind legs. Her forearms propped her up but also held her body at just the right height to avoid her shadow crawling over the water. From there she let her tail wave behind her for a moment. “From here you extend your claws from the one paw, on the arm you’ll use to strike, right? Keep it poised and slightly elevated off the ground” she said nodding her head as she lifted her one paw just right off the ground keeping it there before looking back over to see he was following. She released herself from crouching feeling her thighs feeling the constant crouch and having to stand up. “Show me, make sure your tail doesn’t hit the ground, even if it’s too faint for vibrations you must make sure that it won’t distract you. It’s a good habit” she said with a gentle nod. She turned back and sat down to examine him carefully.
