Harefire hurried to the foot of the tree to watch the scene above. Usually he would have said that a squirrel up a tree was an escaped squirrel, and wouldn't chase it up unless times were hard.

"Nice catch!"Harefire said, dropping a vole at his paws. "You think this is enough?"

Harefire picked up the vole again, then turned to collect the mouse.

Juniperpaw

“Ok.” Blackfir liked my stalking! Juniperpaw felt he was getting more comfortable around his mentor— warming up to him. Juniperpaw scented a mouse and thought this could be his perfect second chance. He dropped into his hunting crouch once again, stalking forward with no changes. When he had spotted the mouse, he remembered his mentor’s pouncing advice. Make sure, you’re balanced, he reminded himself.

Once he felt like his hind legs were positioned right, and the mouse wasn’t going anywhere, Juniperpaw lunged forward. He closed his eyes and felt something beneath his paws as he landed. He opened his eyes and saw the mouse under his claws. “I did it!” he exclaimed, so loud, the whole forest must have heard. “I-i mean… I did it!” he said in a whisper.

@Robin feather

The young tom cocked his head, briefly curious as the apprentice turned away from him but quickly picked up the mouse scent Juniperpaw had clearly already locked onto. He sat down and waited silently, watching the young cat move very similarly to his previous attempt until there was a pause in the crouch then he pounced. Blackfir held his breath but felt instantly better about this pounce than the first and the effort was rewarded. The unsuspecting mouse was trapped beneath Juniperpaw’s weight. Blackfir smiled and shook his head as he padded up to his apprentice. ”Generally you want to keep your eyes open when looking to catch prey but way to go.” He chuckled as he added, ”im sure the rest of the forest is also proud.” He swiped a gentle, playful paw at Juniperpaw’s ear before turning away, back towards his own catches. ”Come on, that should be good for now anyway.” Blackfir knew the importance of ending on a good note and it made it all the easier that they’d collectively brought in a good enough haul with three pieces of prey between them. Unburying his thrush and squirrel, Blackfir led the way back towards camp.
