RiverClan Territory

@Sneakyfox55 @Dirtfur
Looking at the shown spot. Turtlekit smiled and gave a happy squeak . "ok! Ready! " she mewed . Then she got into her position only to give a small shiver from the cold. "can we make it quick though? It's cold.." then she looked at Nightkit " I bet I'll beat ya " she said in a lighthearted tone.

Dirtfur brightened as the two kits looked excited and ready to race. Sure the kits were irritated, but the old tabby's heart glowed, showing his usual soft side. He knew that one day, they will be made great warriors. Speaking of growing up, Wormpaw was almost ready to become one! Dirtfur remembered how the fuzzy, black-furred apprentice was like now: taller than before and has more battle experiences. Pretty soon the young apprentice will no longer be train by the deputy. "Here all the way to the nursery," the dusty tabby instructed. "When ready... On your mark." without hesitation and giving a warning, "Go!"

@Dust @BILL.

"Stars, it feels like it's been so long since I saw him last," The gray she-cat sighed in response to the warrior's question. "He'd gone out into the territory, but I didn't go with him. I guess I should have." She kept her nose to the wind, her wide paws crunching unsteadily on the snow.

She paused for a moment when she caught a familiar scent. Very stale and faint. But...Could it be? Was it her mind playing tricks on her again? She flicked her tail towards her brother.
"Pebblepaw, come here," She spoke in a hushed voice, not taking her eyes off the shrub where she'd caught the vague scent. "Is this him? I need a second opinion. I...I can't tell."

"You wish!" Nightkit teased. As Dirtfur gave the okay to go, the black tomkit took off, pelting back towards camp like his life depended on it.

She slowly crawled towards the prey, doing her best to not make any noise. The squirrel came closer, looking for nuts without realizing the danger only a few tail lengths behind it.
The molly waited for a few heartbeats before pouncing. Her paws scraped the brown squirrel, causing it to panic and bolt. Without thinking she chased after it. Being in too much panic to think the squirrel was easy to catch. Once again she threw down her paws on it. One on the tail and the other on the back. "Goldencloud! W-What do I do now?" The silver apprentice was truly confused about what to do after capturing her prey. It squirmed under her paws frantically trying to getaway. Her head shriveling around, her light blue eyes looking for her new mentor.

@Ever

Goldecloud felt bad for the little chuckle that rumbled in his chest at Shimmeringpaw's wide blue eyes. Surely instincts aught to take over sometime in the near future.

"Kill it. Teeth to the neck is most efficient!" He called to get, stepping up out of his watching spot and shaking snow from his fur. Amusement shone in his golden eyes, not enough to be mean, just a light tease in their sparkle. His tail streamed behind him, lit gold by the morning sun. "Congratulations on the catch, squirrels can be tricky! They are quite clever creatures."

Kicking back a bit of snow like a bull. Turtlekit dashed forward as Dirtfur have the go. She was almost hopping like a gazelle half way through . "c'mon dirt cat!" she giggled as she was near nightkit. " I think you'll be the one wishing after this!" she grinned.

After he watched the kits racing, the dirt-cat searched around the forest. He remembered that there is a rouge in the territory was stealing prey. He hoped that little fox-dung will be caught by a patrol. Then looking back at Turtlekit, he nodded and dashed forward along with the kits.

She didn't really have to say anything because she should have gotten the message as soon as he saw the mouse next to her kill. As for her tracing session, she was having no luck whatsoever. Frowning frustratedly, she looked up finally, trying to find anything to help the situation. At one point she came across a tree and started to have a sneezing fit as something fell off it's branches. On her nose was a small piece of fur. Completely ignoring the fact that she had porbably scared away a good catch somewhere, she swiped it off her nose with a claw and padded over to show him."Seems Riverclanbhas had a couple of helping hands with hunting recently," she hissed irritatedly. This was supposed to be a fun outing, now look what it was!

Dirtfur kinked an invisible eyebrow at the dirt pile and the dead mouse beside. He slightly giggled seeing the young molly squeezing and having pieces of fur on her nose. finally, the gray and white warrior explained. "Hmm," the brown tabby looked back at the dead mouse. Now hearing it, the fresh-kill does seems like no warrior, but a rogue, had taken the mouse's life. "Helping hands that Lionstar won't like," he joked. "I'll report him of the rogue, now is time to take back the fresh-kill to camp." Dirtfur meowed, picking up his catch.

"It's, uh, just that... I don't do it that often. And nobody really showed me how, or told me how-- it was like everyone expected I would know how to do it." Warmth collected on his cheeks, and he was forced to avert his gaze as he coughed. "Which, I mean, is a fair assumption because literal RiverClan kits can probably fish better than I can."

"Hey, don't be so hard on yourself!" Pigeonpaw exclaimed, prodding him playfully with one paw. "Y'know, everyone learns differently and everyone's got different skills. Here, uh, just try to copy what I do." That's how training works, right? Pigeonpaw wanted to help, but she hadn't really had a good, formal training session at all, except for the one where Eagleflight and Riverpaw had participated. All of her learning had been through practice and interactions with warriors who weren't her mentors. She'd become pretty self-sufficient, but wasn't sure how to teach.

She dropped back into her fishing stance, making sure to keep her shadow off the water. She held her right paw hovering slightly above the ground--not over the water, just in mid-air, tucked close, ready to strike like a snake. Her kind eyes glanced at Fawnsqueak, and then back at the water.
"Practice makes perfect," She added softly.

She really didn't want to think she had to get used to killing. "...Oh." Riverpaw let out. He had a point. She let stuff do that to her. Eat way at her. Her aunt's death. Mother's death. Cousin's death. Younger siblings death, before she even met them! Her fathers death and even the disappearance of Frozenpaw. She didn't want to think he was dead. But really, it was the thought that she caused that death that bugged her most. She caused someone the pain that she hated so much! No... This wasn't right.
Sighing Riverpaw looked up at the russet warrior. "I don't really know how to deal with this stuff do I?" She asked with a nervously awkward chuckle. She over thought and worried about it all! Thinks just never happened right. If she had her way, her family wouldn't have been so chaotic, or dead and her mentors wouldn't have kept giving up on her. She would even be a warrior by now. Yet, life never went like she wanted.

Although Riverpaw was quiet, Eagleflight could see the sorrow on her face as she sat there in thought. His heart went out to her, even if he didn't really know how to properly cheer her up.
"Hey, it's gonna be okay. I promise. You're a good cat, and your heart is in the right place. Trust me, alright?" His amber eyes held sympathy and compassion as he regarded her. "You're gonna be okay."
