Re: Sleepy Thicket

Wait, follow Whitepaw's lead? Okay now this was something Whitepaw could roll with, she viewed it as being the center of attention which, of course, gave her an ego boost. "Alright." She said, showing her hunting crouch, it was decent, a few flaws her and there, mostly with her tail and it's position being just a bit too low. But other than that, it was good enough. "I'm assuming that is good, considering I've had hunting training before."
She didn't, really care how good it was? But the better you are with the boring things, the quicker you can get the boring things over with.

↠ Acornwhisker [ @WinterRabbit5350 ] (sure, would whitepaw like to get stuck or shall acorn make a fool of herself? hehe)

Acronwhisker smiled, relieved the she-cat lightened up a bit. "Not bad," The warrior dropped into her own hunting crouch - a perfect crouch in comparison to Whitepaw's. She had practiced this crouch her whole life, after all, but she wasn't the type to brag. There was a slight gleam in her heterochromatic eyes as she performed it, though. "Remember to keep your tail level with your body." She gently reminded, lowering her tone to a whisper.

Acornwhisker dropped her maw to begin tracking any scents. There were multiple rodents and birds of all kinds nearby. She refused to move until her partner caught scent of something, though.

Re: Sleepy Thicket

She adjusted her tail up as they said, hopefully this would work for the warrior. Then, she went to catch onto the scent of something, she had scented a rodent, most likely just a mouse nearby. "Alright, I sense a mouse." She said, signaling to her patrol partner the direction of where it was at, or, where she thought it was at, she honestly didn't care that much.

|| @Fae || [I'd be fine with either, but maybe Acorn?]

Re: Sleepy Thicket

[ You guys can skip my turn for the hunting portion of this since it's mostly them being watched! ]

Hmm, feathers and something special. An interesting twist on the typical assessment. (Not that ambushing them was normal.) Lionstorm liked it.

As the two scampered off, Lionstorm flashed Sassyfire a grin. "Remember the plan -- once they're done and ready to return to us, it's go time."

Without waiting, he started after the direction Spiderpaw had run. He'd keep low, staying to bushes and being mindful to remain quiet and at a distance as he followed to observe how things went.

Re: Sleepy Thicket

↠ Acornwhisker [ @WinterRabbit5350 ] (alrighty!)

Acornwhisker sighs inwardly. Looks like Whitepaw still wasn't very motivated to pursue the hunt on her own.

She nods at Whitepaw's signal and begins to close in on the direction. It wasn't long before the fuzzy brown creature was in her sight, grooming its feathery little whiskers, seemingly oblivious of their presence. Perfect. Acornwhisker went ahead and crept forward, resisting the urge to wiggle her haunches excitedly. She was barely a tail-length away from it now. And when the perfect moment came...

Thwmp! Her aim was off. She overshot the distance and landed just in front of it, leaving the mouse just beneath her. The mouse gave a panicked squeak and made a break for it between her paws, scurrying off into the distance. "Oh no you don't!" She hissed, darting after it with a sudden rush of adrenaline. Through the shrubs, around a tree, into a log, and then...wait, why can't she move?

Oh.

Acornwhisker found herself trapped at the log's opening. Her rear was free on the outside, with her other half stuck on the inside. The log gripped her at the waist, giving splinters every time she tried to tug her way out. "Oh no..." Her entire pelt heated as she watched the mouse disappear into some shrubs on the other side, leaving her stuck in this pathetic piece of wood. Foxdung.

"Erm...Whitepaw? Are you there?" She called sheepishly. Did the apprentice even follow her? She couldn't decide whether she wished she did or not.

Re: Sleepy Thicket

She had followed Acornwhisker along, hoping to help catch the prey but then...uh... she caught up and saw the cat stuck in a log. "Yes I'm...here, did you get stuck?" The shecat couldn't resist laughing at all.

↠ Acornwhisker [ @WinterRabbit5350 ]

This was humiliating. She wanted to just shrivel away and pretend she didn't exist. "Err...yes...any idea on how I get out? I think it's giving me splinters."

She was a fairly average sized cat, so getting stuck like this was pure idiocy. Anyone could've seen the log was too small to crawl in, but of course she just had to keep running and get herself wedged in..."Stars, I'm so mousebrained, what's wrong with me..." She whispered to herself.

Re: Sleepy Thicket

"Hm..." She haden't learned how to get cats out of logs, but had an idea, not a...nice one but, it'd work. "Okay so, this might be a...bit painful." She said, then biting on Acornwhisker's and pulling on it to try and get her out.

[You have full right to get mad at White for her terrible idea lol]

Re: Sleepy Thicket

Sagewing crept into the sleepy thicket. She had no idea where she was, and alone, for the first time in her life, she felt scared. At least as a kit she was allowed to stay in the nursery...

her red calico fur caught on a thorn, and she jumped, knocking her head on a thick and withered branch. "Ow!"

Looking down at her paw, she saw there was a thorn deeply embedded in it. "Maybe I should tell Snakepaw..." She thought mildly. "No, he has too much to do already."

Re: Sleepy Thicket

↠ Acornwhisker [ @WinterRabbit5350 oh goodness, acorn doesn't have a long tail, so she's pulling on the fluff of her little stubby nub ;-; poor bb ]

Tears immediately welled up as Whitepaw pulled on her stubby tail. "OW OW OW, LET GO, NO NO NO NO--" Acorwhisker yowled, kicking behind her to try and get the apprentice off.
