She followed her mentor out into the territory, and tried to keep herself from slowing down in awe, but her eyes dragged across the tree branches and at a squirrel that had quickly skittered right back into the hollow of a tree after it spotted them coming through. It was so beautiful out here, not too mention that with the warming season the sun was starting to barely peek through the branches and once it was later in the morning it would be much brighter. It was amazing. Oh, Rosepaw just loved her home.
"Well yes, I understand orders but unless you have other duties and responsibilities to attend to, I don't see why we can't do several things in one day. Especially because I already know my hunter's crouch." It would be a waste of time and while she could understand hunting before battle as per Brackenclaw's words, they could do several things in one day. Her tail swayed and she flicked it, suddenly determined to show off her previous knowledge that she has gained with Tigerpelt and Flintclaw.
"Here, I'll show you my hunting crouch now." The apprentice waited for the hornet to slow down and halt, if he does at all, before crouching down in the hunter's crouch that she's practiced since her interaction with the warrior that taught her. Though since then she has always practiced her stalking and pounce as per Flintclaw's instructions on what she could be doing better. She showed off her stalk and then pounced on a nearby leaf, landing squarely on it. "Any feedback?"

Brackenclaw watched as Rosepaw got into a hunters crouch and crept up on a leaf before pouncing on it. Unfortunately Rosepaw moved so swiftly she would have given away her position to any prey she was attempting to hunt not only that but she was out in the open. "Your crouch is good but you are moving too fast. Many prey are alerted by movement and if you move too fast you are liable to alert them to your presence. To alleviate this you can crouch lower and enter foliage which will hide you and cover your approach. Once in foliage you can move more freely and get into position easier." Brackenclaw would explain. "And if you need to hide your scent some things you can think of doing is rolling in mud or something. Also to ensure you aren't scented out you can try being downwind of your prey with the wind blowing at you carrying your scent away from the prey." Brackenclaw added.
