Rippleheart thought about this — probably more than he should — until he ran into a black-striped pelt. The RiverClan warrior’s blue-green eyes shifted upwards to see Snowstripe, who was staring at him. Well, that had been quite the embarrassment. The reminder suddenly lit up in his mind — he had invited her to go hunting, but instead, forgot.
“Uh.. Snowstripe! H-Hi!” He mewed nervously with a small laugh.

Snowstripe smiled at him and mews "hi rippleheart." She mews giving his ear a quick lick in greeting and then looks away. She looked at the pond in front of her and wandered how they was going to hunt these fish besides getting into the water making too much noise. Then she thought about it after spacing out and was creeping along the bank to find the best spot to look for a fish

Rippleheart watched as Snowstripe walked along the edge of the water, taking a sniff at the small, blue waves. He started to follow along, doing the same. There had ought to be some fish somewhere over here. After finding a savory-scented area, he placed himself on the ground. Rippleheart stared at the water for a moment, adjusting himself so his shadow wasn’t aimed on the water. The RiverClan warrior waited until a small figure came into view. He swiftly swung his paw into the water, creating a small splash. As he reeled his paw out of the river, it was soaked, but had been holding a large, golden colored fish with black speckles on it’s back. Rippleheart soon analyzed it to be a trout. His victory soon faded away, however, as the heaviness tripped him up. The trout started to slide out of his paws, but the RiverClan warrior managed to grip onto it before it fell into the wet, blue pit. He carried it in his jaws, hoping that Snowstripe hadn’t happened to see his little mishap.

Snowstripe purs as she watched him catch his fish and she padded along softly and then saw a small movement in the water herself she was amazed by his hunting and then she crouched by the edge but to where the dish could not see her and she swatted at it and catches it as it flups threw the air and swats it to the bank and then bites it holding it in her jaw.

“Welp, after all, I did catch a snake in that hunting contest Sootstar held,” He bragged with a purr, setting the trout he carried gently on the ground.

Now, it was Snowstripe’s turn. He had observed as she went through the same process as he did — adjusting your shadow, then swatting your paw through the water. Snowstripe lifted her paw to reveal a medium sized fish. From the dusty brown color it had, Rippleheart inferred it was just an unusually tiny carp.
”Nice catch!” The RiverClan warrior complimented. ”I’m gonna see if I can catch some more.”

He gazed at his reflection in the pond for a moment, his blue-green eyes almost replicating the color. They were difficult to distinguish due to that reason, though could be seen because of his black pupils. For a moment, he sat there, merely looking at himself, though he could sense two eyes staring at his striped pelt.

Snowstripe nods in agreement as she watches him again to see the fish he pulls out of the water this time. She was glad that he was there with her and this was kinda fun. She purred softly. She was at a loss for words on what to say to him.

Once they settled in a different place around the pond, the molly waited for Baypaw to ask the question, which she did. "Glad you asked! Oh! Also, when I was tapping the water I was just, uhhh, testing the water!" A complete lie.

"Anyways, back to how you fish! Oh wait, can I tell you a funny story first? When I was learning to fish, I accidentally mistook a leaf for a fish!" Duckbounce giggled as she recalled the memory.

"Anyways, actually back to fishing. You first want to make sure there's fish in the water, but I saw you were looking at them already so we know they're already there! Of course, unless you want to check again." She waited a few seconds just in case they did want to check.

"Ok! So next, you want to gently stick your paw into the water. Make sure not to touch any fish yet, or you could scare them away!"Like Duckbounce. "Make sure to focus on the area around your paw. Once a fish swims really close, swipe towards it quickly and also quickly bring your paw up! And bam, you got yourself a fish! It's a really simple process, although it may take some practice. Oh! I also should mention keeping your claws unsheathed for all of that!'
‧₊˚┊ @Puddle~
“Uh huh, sure.” Baypaw wasn’t sure they believed Duckbounce. They may not have been the smartest, but they were clever enough to figure that one out. Their mentor’s story about the leaf made them giggle a little, yet also worry. Was she qualified to teach fishing?? Oh well.

After Duckbounce had run through the instructions, they were feeling confident that they could do this. How hard could it possibly be? “Okay, I think I got it!” Shimmying up to the edge of the pond, Baypaw lifted a paw and held it over the surface of the water. A little fish swam by and they eagerly plunged their paw down and brought it back up. But to their disappointment, there was no fish hooked onto their claw. “Awh man!” They must’ve put their paw down a bit too early.

But they weren’t about to give up just yet. Waiting for the ripples and splashes in the water to calm down, they watched another, slightly larger fish begin swimming towards their edge of the pond. This time, they made sure to wait until just the right moment. A swoop of their paw down and back up again, and they were astonished to see a silver fish flopping around, trying to unlatch from their claws. “I DID IT! I DID IT!”

In all their excitement, the fish began wriggling around more furiously, trying to escape. “Oh, wait... now what? How do I kill it? Is it just like normal land prey?” It was a miracle the fish didn’t manage to flop away in the time it was taking them to figure this out.

The golden tabby watched in silence as her apprentice attempted to catch the fish. When they caught one, Duckbounce got excited. "WOOHOO! YOU DID IT!!!" she squealed and almost fell into the pond. oops.

"Well, it's similar to land prey—because it is exactly the same! You just bite on the fish to finish it!" The warrior smiled at her great instructions. Her plan was to let Baypaw catch a few more fish before they head back to camp.

"Oh, okay!" Chomp. Baypaw delivered a killing bite to the floppy fish and smiled proudly. "I did it!" Their first time catching a fish! How exciting! Now they were basically an expert at all types of hunting.

"So do we catch some more?" It seemed like a waste to come all the way out here and only bring a single small fish back to camp. There were some slightly bigger fish drifting around towards the bottom of the pond, that seemed like they could make a good meal for the clan. Waiting for a response, the golden tabby stared down at their reflection in the water's surface, occasionally peeking back at the larger fish to see if any of them were coming closer.

Rapidwhisker gave the closest she could get to a ‘mrrow’ of surprise at the appearance of her clanmate; widening her eyes and looking a tad shocked. She watched Shinestone carefully as the other she-cat padded towards her, turning curiously to face the queen with her body rather than just her muzzle before dipping her head to match the greeting.
“’Morning.” She meowed simply, beginning to feel curious as to what the silvery cat was doing out of camp this early and away from her litter. Then again, Rapidwhisker had no way of knowing what kits were like; this was likely a normal and cathartic thing for mothers to do, not something for a young cat like her to call into question. With that settled, she turned her dark eyes back to the pond for a moment to scan the surface.
It’d be awful rude to leave for the river at this point, as timing would make it seem that she was leaving to avoid being around Shinestone, so her morning would likely be spent looking for frogs. Not a bad thing by any means- in all honesty fish would probably be easier to see around sunhigh rather than dawn- though she still couldn’t stop thinking about biting into some delicious scaley morsels the second she was back at camp
(So I never saw this....)
Shinestone dipped her head as well. "Good morning." She turned to the river. She thought about going for a swim. It wasn't that hot, but hit enough that a little dip in the river would be nice. She flicked her tail toward the water. "Want to go in? It's a lovely day for a swim."

Shinestone, for a moment became worried that Rapidwhisker would say no because she was a queen. She hoped not. Rapidwhisker seemed nice.

(all good! ^w^ it happens, no worries abt missing it!)

[rapidwhisker - @FrostCat]

The she-cat was about to comment on having just come out of the water, but not only did Shinestone have no way of knowing that piece of information, Rapidwhisker had no problem with going for another dip. StarClan’s sake, a cat that got up at the break of dawn to dive with the tadpoles sure wouldn’t be complaining about the offer of another swim.
Deciding against commenting on the offer- even if it was a simple fact, it still was unnecessary to state how she’d already been in if she was going to accept- the warrior relaxed her shoulders and glanced back out as she spoke. “Mhm, water’s fine this morning,” The brown cat took a step towards the bank, letting the water wash over paws that had only just dried off enough to be considered damp. In all honesty she preferred the feeling of running water to the feeling of slightly damp, slimy fur, so prolonging drying off wasn’t a problem in her books.
”It dips down pretty sharply here, though, be aware.”
The warning didn’t stem from the other cat being a queen- no, Rapidwhisker had no business assuming Shinestone couldn’t take care of herself, but rather from general carefulness. Any cat, warrior to leader, could be surprised by the dropoff and get tangled in the thick weeds; it wouldn't feel patronizing if it was warranted caution, right?
