Poppypaw thought back. She remembered Foxstar and Skitserflother sharing a rabbit, but not any other time. "I don't know. I think he'd like it if you gave it to him," Poppypaw continued bounding forward, her tail high. She wasn't always right, but wanted to help Patchpaw as much as she could.
Puppet toppled over and batted her apprentice off her. She smiled and nodded. He was a smart cat and she wanted to make sure he knew that. She flicked her tail to summon him a little way in front of her.
(Yeah, feel free to change it. It is very hard to type quickly.)

Whitepaw got off his mentour and walked in front of her with a nod. "Was that good?" he asked nervously. MAybe he was only supposed to follow her?

(Yeah) Poppypaw opened her mouth, then closed it. "No, I think just a regular hunting crouch and then chasing them. That's what I do, with moderate success." She thought back and no, she couldn't quite remember Feathertail training her. "I'm sure he's just busy with his deputy duties. I could ask my dad to let him off a bit to train you," she offered.
Puppet nodded, licking his shoulder as a sign of respect. She then fell into a hunting crouch. Copy this, she thought.

"That...it's fine. If he trains me I want it to be because he wants too" Patchpaw answered her friend before turning towards her mother "Kinda?" she said hesitantly.
Thimblestorm smiled and nodded and immediately went into a lengthened hunter's crouch "Then allow me to refresh your memories..."

Poppypaw dropped into a crouch like her mentor's. "Like this?" she asked.
Foxstar watched from the forest-moor border. He could see Poppypaw, most likely practising a rabbit hunting crouch. It was good but he noticed her tail was too high.

Patchpaw got into position reluctantly, feeling out of place as she obserbed her mom with her apprentice.
"Close, see how my tail is a bit lower?" she said before getting up and adjusting her. She looked over her daughter and nodded in approval "Here, you're putting too much weight on your left side" she quickly adjusted her as well.

Whitepaw nodded and gpt into position, he had gotten used to interpreting what his mentour meant, but he was still a bit iffy every once in a while.

Poppypaw nodded and went back into the correct position. She was used to hunting birds and mice, where her tail had to be high. She looked over at Patchpaw. "Hey, you're good," she smiled. "I normally trust my running to help me catch rabbits.
Foxstar nodded and headed away.
Puppet watched her apprentice. She nudged his leg. Put your weight here, she thought.

"Mom is a good mentour" Patchpaw smiled.
Thimblestorm smiled "Relying on speed with Rabbits is a good start, but it's even better to be as close as possible to do so"
Patchpaw soon caught sent of a rabbit, and started sneaking towards it. Unfortunately, it heard her and went running. Desperate to gain the approval of Feathertail, Patchpaw ran after it. Unfortunately, as she got close, ehr paw got caught in a hole and she yowled as she collapsed in pain.
"Patchpaw?" Thimblestorm heard her daughter and immediately went over, concerned.
Whitepaw put more weight on the leg, adn glanced at his mentour

(accepted)
Poppypaw stopped stalking immediately and rushed over to her friend. "Are you OK? Should I get a medicine cat?" She asked.

"The rabbit got away...I'm fine" Patchpaw winced as she put weight on her front left paw. She ahd to hide it though, if she did good Feathertail would teach ehr fighting tomorrow!
"Let;s head back to camp, Poppypaw help her ok?" Thimblestorm said.

Poppypaw nodded and supported her friend on her injured side. She gently guided her with her shoulder. "You nearly got it," she encouraged.
Puppet stepped back to look at Whitepaw. He was now in a perfect crouch. Now came the hard part, forward moving. She crouched down beside him and crept forward stealthily. She then leapt on a leaf. She then placed it a little way in front of Whitepaw. Your turn, she thought, nodding at it and backing away.

"Good morning brother." Tailwind greeted Feathertail, his brother. "Looking after camp?"
"Yes. I want to make sure the apprentices can train saftley." There was a silence for a few seconds. "Mother would be proud. Both children deputy and second med cat."
"Yes she would. Well, I should be heading out. It seems we are running low on thyme." And with that, Tailwind headed out of camp.
