I’m mediocre now, but anyways...” The feline flicked her ears with embarrassment as she continued.

“My first catch was a good moon after I became an apprebtice, and it wasn’t pretty. Literally. I finally managed to catch a small bird, a sparrow, and I mangled it so much in the process that it wasn’t exactly eatable anymore.” Cherrybubble let out a small laugh. “I remember my mentor trying to give me some encouragement, but she finally was like ‘yeah I have absolutely no hope for you right now...’ But of course we both laughed it off. She was a great mentor.” The feline actually let out a longer, real laugh this time. “I love reminiscing in good memories.”

aldertwist's head dipped in agreement. she laughed as well, although it was softer and less enthusiastic. "i guess some cats may be a little more skilled in hunting than others. it took me almost a full day to catch the mouse, and even when i did, it was a sloppy kill. it nearly got away four times before i was able to get the final blow." shrugging, she let out a quiet sound, thinking. "if you want, we could go for a hunt and i could show you a few techniques?" her tail prodded cherrybubble's flank, eyes holding a questioning glint.

nose twitching, aldertwist began to walk a slow circle around the other molly, watching her closely. "it's only a suggestion, of course," she added after a while, tail swaying as she awaited a response.
