Windstrike sat in his crouched position as he watched the apprentice, brow raising slightly as he saw the apprentice dart forward after the mouse. Examining carefully, the warrior took note of the sloppiness and sat up as the apprentice padded back over. There was a lot they needed to work on, but at least their form was good. Almost perfect honestly. He glanced down at the mouse with a nod of approval. "That was good for your first catch, but you almost lost it because of your scent. You want to make sure you're downwind of prey for future reference, so that your scent is blown in the opposite direction. Another option is to roll around in a fern, some water, or mud. Though other cats may still smell you if you don't do it thorough enough. Otherwise, you seem to have down the basics," he mewed, getting up as he sniffed the mouse for a moment, "Kick some dirt over it so other predators don't find it and let's move on."

Leading the duo a few tails away, he glanced over the apprentice for a moment, taking in the tom's darker fur. "Your best bet when it comes to stalking without being scene is sticking to the shadows. Luckily, you live in Shadowclan and we have plenty of those," he said, purring in amusement as the thought of Shrikepaw attempting to hunt in any of the other clans flashed through his mind, "Now, I want you to use what I just told you and catch another piece of prey. I won't be helping this time, just watching. If you do that, we can end off for today and we'll pick up next time."
