With a second huge breath, she dived after it again, hoping to intercept it before it reached the bottom. Digging her claws in once again, she managed to reach the surface. With a shorter dive, she managed NOT to gasp and not release the prey. Trying to hold on tightly still, she tried to paddle towards Cheetahfang, hoping he could help her haul the fish to shore so they could kill it. @Neon Lights
he went closer to Splashleap then pulled her up by the scruff enoght to get the fish out of the water

Thanks! Splashleap huffed as she was dragged onto the bank. Yanking at the fish, she managed to heave it up next to her. Pouncing on it, she tried to bite it's neck, but it wriggled harder, hitting her with it's tail. Yanking out her claws, she tried stabbing it in her neck, finally hitting her mark. With a small purr of satisfaction at her kill, she straightened up, and mewed Well, we got it! Thanks for the help in the water by the way! @Neon Lights

"No problem!" he said smiling "Let's take it back to camp, imagine how our clanmates will react so you think Lionstar will be impressed?!"

Re: Cattail Pond
 
I bet they'll be impressed. Hopefully it'll taste alright. Splashleap mewed. What if it tasted like dirt? Then they would have spent all that time for nothing! I doubt Lionstar will notice. He's usually pretty busy. she continued, reaching down to seize the neck of the fish. @Neon Lights

At least we got a big fish so next time we see one we'll know what to do.

Re: Cattail Pond
 
Your right. Splashleap mewed, taking a staggering step under the weight of the fish. Grab an end! she grunted, hoping Cheetahfang would give her a hand. This fish was huge! @Neon Lights

"ok" then grabbed the other end of the fish and smiled.

Re: Cattail Pond
 
Well, let's go. Splashleap mumbled around the fish's head. Taking a step forward, she trotted off, hoping Cheetahpoke could match her pace. (I'll mention you somewhere where the matchmaking sisters can get em!) @Neon Lights

He walked next to her matching every step.(ok)

Re: Cattail Pond
 
Coastbreeze led Mosspaw into the scene of the cattail pond, his pace brisk yet just slow enough that the apprentice would still be able to keep him in sight. He paused for a moment, taking in the scenery before turning to him. "Okay, so what can you tell me about fishing?" It was a vague question, but he hoped the tom would know what he meant by it.
@mellifluentCurator

Re: Cattail Pond
 
"Hmmm..." Mosspaw stares down at his paws. This would be his first test. He thinks for a second, trying to remember what he's heard warriors and other apprentices saying about fishing. "Umm, you have to be quick?" He silently hopes he's right, and shakes his head a little. @Zero

Zero August 31st, 2020 08:33 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
Coastbreeze let out a harmless laugh. "You're definitely not wrong there," He meowed, nodding his head. "Quick and quiet." The warrior led Mosspaw closer to the water, pointing to his shadow with a paw. "The first thing you need to know is that your shadow shouldn't fall into the water. It'll scare away the fish, so you need to be mindful of the sun's position when you approach." Coastbreeze squinted up at the sun for a moment. "Looking at the sun now, I want you to choose your own fishing spot. Sound good?"
@mellifluentCurator

Re: Cattail Pond
 
Mosspaw nods enthusiasticslly, leaning over the pond. Seeing his shadow, he frowns, and pads along the bank until he reaches a spot where his shadow no lomger looms over the water. Quick and quiet, he thinks, so he looks over at Coastbreeze a few feet from him and stage whispers, "Is this good!?" @Zero

Acornkit padded to the water’s edge, having lead her mentor through the territory in a little exploration. “Where are we and what is this?” She mewed turning around to serve the area then back to the pond swatting at the cattail.

@Slinky
Spritedleap followed her apprentice attentively, her ears alert for any odd sounds. As they approached the pond with an abundance of cattails, she purred and sat down for a moment, "This is Cattail Pond. It's a great place for swimming and fishing. Sometimes you can catch fowl around here, but they're probably a little large for you to catch." She chuckled gently, her eyes watching the little one sweetly as Acornkit investigated.

“Awwww... I’d like to catch one.” She mewed crouching down to the water were it almost touched her muzzle. “You think you can teach me something else to catch?” She rose back to her paws, turning to face Spiritedleap.

Re: Cattail Pond
 
'Patrol time!' Duckbounce was curious as to what animal they would end up hunting at the pond. Actually...it was most likely going to be fish—hence the water—but you could never be too sure if there was going to be another animal there or not.

As the molly and her apprentice arrived, Duckbounce walked up to the edge of the water. She saw.. fish. She turned her head a bit to the side so Lizardpaw would be able to see her better. "Do you know how to catch fish? If not, I'll teach you." The warrior let out a big warm smile. She started thinking about eating the fish they would catch, but then quickly shook her head before she got off task.

@Bread

Lizardpaw nodded. She had recently learned how to fish.
"Yes, I know." she said and walked over to the water. Her shadow fell on the ground, which saved her the trouble of scaring the fish away. She waited for her mentor to come join her.

Bread September 4th, 2020 05:22 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
"Good, good!" Duckbounce happily meowed as she walked over to the water with her apprentice.
The molly squinted as she stared into the water. There were fish scattered about, and she didn't know which would be the lucky one.
Before she had took too long, she plunged her paw down into the water. As soon as she felt something touch her paw, her claws unsheathed and she quickly pulled her paw back out of the water. Hanging on her claw was a fish. "Neat." She mumbled to herself. The warrior grinned as she put the fish aside to catch more.

@Shadeleaf
Lizardpaw stated at the water intensely. A silver gleam caught her eye. With a swift swipe the fish was flung out the water and bitten. Lizardpaw left it lying next to Duckbounce's fish and turned to the pond again.

Bread September 5th, 2020 12:13 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
Duckbounce smiled at Lizardpaw as she caught a fish. She then shifted herself so she was looked at the pond again. 'Fish. Fish. Fish.' Repeated in the molly's head every time she spotted a fish that was too far away.
Finally, a fish reeled close enough to the warrior. She leaned in and quickly put her paw in the water, bringing a fish out of the water alongside her paw. This one was very floppy, but Duckbounce managed to kill it and set it aside in the pile.

@Shadeleaf
Lizardpaw was impressed by her mentor's fishing skills. Looking for a second fish, she spotted a big one slightly far away. Backing up, she ran at the pond, launched herself in and bit the fish hard. She swam back to shore, a large dark fish in her mouth.

Bread September 5th, 2020 03:54 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
Duckbounce gave Lizardpaw another nod of approval. She looked down at the pile; they did have quite a bunch of fish! "Do you think this is enough for now? Or do you want to catch a few more?"

@Shadeleaf

Re: Cattail Pond
 
River runner looked around the territory, a quick hunt wouldn’t hurt, I guess. He’d trot over to the pond, seeing the small yet appetizing fish swimming peacefully in the water. He flexed his claws in wait, his thin, silver spotted frame Tense

River runner pounced at the fish though seemingly he had been a bit off. The fish swirled out of the way and water spayed into his face. “Agh!”

@Shadeleaf
Lizardpaw wanted to keep practicing, but the fish had piled up and she didn't know how many she could carry.
"I think that's enough for now." she mewed.

Re: Cattail Pond
 
"Alrighty then!" Duckbounce said in her happy manor, "Lets head back." The molly picked up the fish she had caughten and lead herself and her apprentice back to the camp to report their findings.

Lizardpaw, with some effort, lifted her prey and followed.

(LOL da end)

”Hmm...“ She brought up her nose and parted her jaws. “How about that mouse over there?” She point her tail in the direction of the tree line where a small mouse was digging around the roots of a tree.

He let out a frustrated sigh, cleaning the water from his fur. He glanced around quickly, hoping nobody had seen him fail that easy prey. That would be embarrassing.

(Sorry for the delay!)

Coastbreeze followed a little ways back as Mosspaw settled at an appropriate spot near the water, joining him with a smile after a few moments. "Perfect!" The tom turned to the water now, pointing with his tail. "I'll give you a quick example of how to fish first, okay? Be sure to pay close attention." He figured this way was easier than trying to explain the technique.

(Don't worry, it's ok!)

Mosspaw beams, wide smile lighting up his face. He nods quickly, staring into the water. "Yeah, ok!" He curls his tail around himself so it doesn't trail in the water, looking intently at his mentor. He doesn't want to miss a single thing.

Coastbreeze settled in, knowing patience was the key to fishing. Despite having a limited amount of such a substance, he had learned to suck it up as an apprentice. The young warrior watched the water carefully, waiting for a big fish to swim within his reach. When one did just that, his paw shot into the water quickly, hooking the fish with unsheathed claws and scooping it fairly gracefully out of the water. Then, while holding it down with one paw on solid ground, he killed it swiftly with a bite to the head. Clearing his throat, he turned to Mosspaw, not really knowing how to explain exactly what he had just done. "Just like that."

Mosspaw looks at his mentor with stars in his eyes. "Woah, that was so cool!" He leaps up onto his feet, starting to pace. "What did you do? It was so fast, and you grabbed it so quickly! Where did you hook it with your claws, under the gills or just anywhere, and when you pull it up what happens if it gors back in the water? Do you have to bite it in a specific place, and can you get more than one at a time, and-" Mosspaw stops suddenly, a look of embarrassment rising on his face. He sits back down tentatively, looking sheepishly back up at Coastbreeze. "Uh, I mean- what'd you do?"

Coastbreeze grinned at Mosspaw, soaking up the praise like a sponge. His blue orbs moved back and forth as Mosspaw moved, following the young tom with his gaze even as he paced. He didn't even look a tiny bit fazed as Mosspaw finally settled back down again, that stupid grin still in place on his maw. "Questions are good!' He meowed, nudging his sheepis- looking apprentice affectionately, secretly relieved inside to have some sort of path to follow. "Basically, you gotta wait for the fish to come within reach! Then the quick part comes. You reach into the water as fast as you can and just try to hook your claws in it - it doesn't really matter where as long as you get a good grip." The tom played out his explanations in motion as he talked, mock fishing each part out. "I would suggest, until you get better, to try to get the fish as far away from the water as you can so you reduce the chances of it flopping back in, so just try to scoop and toss it over your shoulder. And, as for killing it, you can bite the head or spine, or you can even whack it against something hard and it'll do the trick!"

Mosspaw laughs when he's shoved, soaking up the attention happily. He listens keenly to his mentor's words, nodding along to all of his instructions and committing them to memory quickly. "Uh-huh, ok... ok!" He almost jumps up again, but contains himself as he looks into the water. "Can I try it?" He stares deeply at the way the water ripples, excited nerves bubbling up in his chest. He shifts in his seat slightly, wiggling as if to pounce into the water-- but he knows that would be absurd.

Coastbreeze settled backward on his haunches as Mosspaw eagerly stepped up closer to the water, nodding his head. "Yeah, give it a go! Just be careful not to fall in." Not that Coastbreeze would mind if he did, since he'd love to jump into the water to "save" him.

Mosspaw smiles wide and stares into the water, chattering in anticipation. The tip of his tail twitches as he searches for any fish that might come up. It takes a while, but he finally spots what looks like a trout and shoots his paw into the water, claws unsheathed. He touches the fish with his claws, but they do nothing more than scrape along its side, and it swims away. Mosspaw turns apologetic eyes upon Coastbreeze, embarrassed beyong belief that he failed at something so easy.

Spiritedleap nodded her head gently, a smile on her lips at the eagerness from her apprentice. Staying silent, she flicked her tail in the direction of the scratching mouse, watching attentively to how her apprentice would go for it.

Coastbreeze shakes his head with a smile at Moospaw's apologetic look. "I didn't get it on my first try either." He reassured him. "Don't be afraid to really get those fish with your claws, dig in as far as you can so you can get a good enough grip to pull it out." The tom dipped his head back toward the water. "Keep trying. You'll get one with a bit more practice."

Mosspaw sighs. "Ok, I guess..." he looks back into the water, put off by his first failure. When a fish comes by this time, he shoots his paw out slower and nearly misses it, but his claw catches it by its top fin and he pulls it out of the water. It takes him a second to detatch it from his claw, and once he does it flops around on the bank. "Uhhhh, what do I do to kill it again, Coastbreeze??"
