"Good job Pantherpaw, I'm surprised you know that much!" The tom's green eyes blew wide for extra effect as he stared at Pantherpaw, a highly exasperated impressed expression crossing his features. "Since Pantherpaw has so graciously made us aware of the prey in this area, let's continue following the scents." He was sure they would come upon some rabbit tracks in the snow soon enough, and Flintstar wanted to see what Pantherpaw would make of those. The large black-furred tomcat turned to Pinepaw, pointing his tail ahead. "Pinepaw, since you picked up the scent first, would you like to begin leading us that direction until it grows stronger?" He asked. Flintstar wasn't going to joke around with Pinepaw, no, she was being truthful in her abilities. Pantherpaw though, that was a different story. "And Pantherpaw, as we're walking, can you describe to Pinepaw and I the difference between a mouse scent and a squirrel scent?" The leader's cheeky smile was enough to give himself away, but he couldn't help it. This was absolutely enjoyable.

Ah, shoot. Flintstar was definitely onto him. But Pantherpaw couldn't back down from his bluff now, not when he was this far in already. He followed diligently alongside his sister as he thought of what he could say next to convince his new mentor that he knew what he was talking about.
"Uh...Mouse is...a sweeter scent than a squirrel. Yeah." He nodded confidently once more, satisfied with what he'd come up with.
"And squirrel smells more savory, uh, because they're bigger, I think."
