I think you can do that by placing your paws in a stable way?" that made sense to the young bengal. Perhaps though... She wasn't the best teacher. But nonetheless was trying. They would catch those ten mice eventually, and hopefully soon! And then it hit her - the most basic and important part of the hunting crouch and she completely forgot about it! So much for being a good apprentice "oh! And- you need to make sure to crouch low but, like... Make sure your fur doesn't brush against the ground - a-and keep your tail like this.. I think" She did a half crouch again, keeping her tail levelled behind her - of the ground but not high up in the air. that was correct, right? Yeah, it had to be.

"Really?" Lightningpaw hardly noticed the squeak in his best friend's voice. He didn't know what that stuff meant. So he just listened to Flamepaw.
"Oh, okay!" That made sense. How else would you get stable? You had to make your paws stable! He didn't really seem to notice the uncertainty in Flamepaw's voice, or how she trailed off a bit. He was positive that Flamepaw was the best apprentice! And he would be soon, too! And Flamepaw was speaking again! He focused entirely on her, because she was an awesome teacher! And then he tried again, and he didn't fall!
"I think I'm doing it, maybe?" He looked in between his paws to his tail and belly. They didn't look like they were quite in the right position... but they did at the same time. And it was confusing.
