He meowed softly, closing his mouth as she continued to spout knowledge. He took it that she wanted him to try this time, approaching the water and mirroring what position she had taken to fish just moments earlier, monkey-see-monkey-do style. He wobbled slightly on the edge of the water, but his tail instinctively raised up to help with his balance. "It's like this, right?" His voice was barely above a whisper as he leaned precariously over the edge of the water to get as much reach as possible without falling in.
Splashfury analyzed his crouch, "Try to make sure your tail is more in the center of you and put it a bit lower. Now when you wait, you should make sure your claws are unsheathed so you don't lose time when you try to reel in a fish. When you see a fish, quickly hook it by the head preferably the mouth with a grabbing/ scooping motion. When you feel it in your paw, grab it out and you can use your teeth to help you out. I will be here if there is a big fish or whenever you need help." Splashfury nodded at Coastpaw to let him have a chance to start. Usually mentors would make their apprentice wait another day but Splashfury wanted Coastpaw to learn a bit quicker since he seems to be ready. When one has potiental, you let it grow.

With that, Troutspring led the way to Cattail Pond next; he silently decided he'd show her it, then start training right there, if it was okay by her. In his eyes, the rest of the territory could wait for now.

"How about this," he mewed, turning to her as he came to a halt near the bank of the water. "Seeing I've been lacking in the 'training' department, I could start training you to hunt here. It'd get you more used to our territory at the same time as teaching you skill. We could visit one more place afterwards, if you'd like, but it'll be late by then. Then I can show you the rest of the territory tomorrow. It's up to you, I'm open to whatever."

She nodded, "O-okay. I'm f-fine w-with that..." she mewed, looking at him from the corner of her eye

"Great," he mewed, smiling slightly. "Alright, so..."

He moved out of her way, going off to the side a bit. "Give me your best hunter's crouch. Don't worry if it's not perfect, we'll learn this together," he added.

Badgerpaw nodded, and started to crouch down into her hunter's crouch. It was kind of sloppy, but her life as a loner taught her to be able to hunt for herself, so she still was kind of okay at it.

Coastpaw nodded, re-adjusting his tail after her suggestion and smiling when he felt more steady in his position. He raised a paw, unsheathing his claws and waited. The problem was, Coastpaw hated waiting. Maybe a minute passed where he was focused, but then his thoughts wandered off to some unknown place. However, he suddenly realizes a fish appeared in the corner of his eye, and without thinking, he lunged for it despite it being outside of his hunting reach. Too excited, he leaned too far forward to try to reach it and lost complete control of his balance. "Whoaaa-" And with a splash, he landed face-first into the water, however, his head popped above water a few moments later. Realizing the water was shallow, he just stood there even though he knew how to swim, laughing. "Oops," He giggled. "Sorry, didn't mean to do that. I almost had it though, I felt it with my paw when I was falling."

"Wha-" Harepaw made a frown after he was struck. "I guess I'm not heavy enough to knock someone down," he mewed, a little disappointed. "Or maybe I should ram into them harder?"

As Coastpaw fell into the water, Splashfury crouch and got ready to spring if anything went wrong. When she saw that Coastpaw was okay, she relaxed a little but was still in a position to be able to launch into the water again if he fell again. Splashfury meowed, "It's alright, I think you will be more comfortable with a more smaller hunting area space. What I like to do is imagine that this whole situation was a story. There is my area outlined with reed as markers of my territory in my mind where I can shrink or expand it without having to go into the water. Any fish that cross into my are my lunch and need to be eaten. You can make your story however you want but make sure that you can still focus on the main point where you need to catch the fish. While you wait, pretend that you aren't really waiting and that you are simply relaxing. Relaxing your muscles can actually make you go faster and your tension won't scare of your prey. Now with this new information, I believe that you are ready to try again once more." Splashfury may be the cat to be impatient with older cats or cold to cats from other clans. When it comes to young cats like apprentices and kits, she has a sweet spot for them and can't resist. The young are worth protecting in her mind. To her, they are the future of the clan. But one day, she will have to let them go which will break her heart. But she knows that young ones must not be contained and it will help them feel better to let them know that you will always be on their side no matter what happens.

Coastpaw climbed out of the pond as Splashfury talked, resisting shaking the water out of his pelt because it would likely soak her in this close of range. "Okay, I'll give that a try." He meowed as he set himself up for round two of fishing. It would take longer for the fish to return now that he had announced his presence by falling in the cold water, but this time the apprentice was determined to catch one of the buggers. His pride was a bit hurt now and that would definitely help his focus. He let out a breath and relaxed this time, his focused blue eyes the only tell that he was hunting. Finally, the fished returned after a few minutes, swimming helplessly into Coastpaw's now smaller zone of catching. He had been getting antsy there, so he was glad once he had something to actually look at. The apprentice aimed for the first that drew closest to him, not caring if it was a big one or not, and shot his paw into the water. His claws snagged the fish and he lifted it out of the water, blue eyes widening in shock that he actually had one. "Holy StarClan, I did it!" The fish struggled in his claws for a few moments before Coastpaw snapped out of his shock and put it out of its misery with a bite to the head. It wasn't the biggest catch of the day, but it was something. "Did you see that?!" He leapt to his paws, holding his small fish in his maw proudly.

When Splashfury saw that Coastpaw managed to get a fish, she purred with pride. "Yes I did! Since we are finished with your first hunting session, let's head back to camp. By the way, you can use those fishing moves in battle as well. The hooking motion and grabbing motion can be good attack moves. I pretty sure you already knew that but I will just say it once more. Your muscles might be a little sore when you wake up. Before you get out, try to lightly stretch it so you don't feel too sore. See you later, alligator." She picked up her fish she had earlier and waited for Coastpaw to be in camp so she knows he is in the safe zone.

Coastpaw managed a grin around his fish, nodding his head at her instructions. He was slightly glad that they were returning to camp, learning from this training session that he didn't have a lot of patience when it came to fishing. However, he would work at that next time they came out. The tom much-preferred battle training where they were almost constantly moving and doing flashy stuff. "After a while, crocodile!" He meowed after they had returned to camp and dropped their prey off. Waving his tail, he padded off to search for a friend or two.
