OOC: Yeah, I know. I'm gonna advertise some, then either have someone email the Admin or do it myself—I hate seeing sites go dead.
Mossfire's whiskers twitched, and she waved her tail. “Sure. You try it first, and then I'll give you pointers if you want." She settled back onto her haunches, trying to keep her whiskers from twitching, and watched her apprentice.
OOC: She doesn't have to catch it right away—not even the best hunter gets the prey every time, and if she does everything so perfectly, Mossfire'll have nothing to do! lol

OOC: WHOO HOO WE'RE STARTING OVER I'M REALLY REALLY REALLY HYPER!
"I don't get how I should catch a bird." Seapaw mewed anxiously as she turned around.

OOC: lol! DITTO! ((hey, I should make a cat named Ditto! *hyperish*))
Mossfire nodded, and mewed "Crouch down like you would for any other prey, but relax your whole body except for your hind legs - that's where all your strength is." She demonstrated this, crouching down with her hind legs tense. There was a leaf caught in the air currents - perfect. "Wait until the bird has flown overhead, then leap and twist, like this." She watched the leaf carefully, then pushed as hard as she could with her hind legs and twisted in the air, snagging the leaf in her claws, landing on her paws with a faint thud and adding "It's usually easier to tear off one of their wings than try to kill them in the air." She stepped back and sat again, watching her apprentice.

OOC: lol!
Seapaw carefully crouched and relaxed her whole body but kept her hind legs strengthened and tense. "Like this?" Seapaw whispered to her mentor. The apprentice put her weight on her paws and pushed. Flying and twisting through the air, Seapaw landed heavily on her side with a loud thud. "OW!" Seapaw squealed in alarm.

Mossfire stood and bounded toward her apprentice. "Are you ok, Seapaw?" She nudged Seapaw's side once, then mewed "That was good, but you leaned your weight too far to the left when you twisted - try to keep your body centered next time."

Seapaw stood up, nodded quickly, and licked her paw. She crouched but kept her hind legs tense. The apprentice tried to balance her weight and kept her body centered. Seapaw leaped and twisted, this time not leaning as far on th left as she last had. She clumsily landed on her paws, but was able to regain her balance.

Mossfire nodded, purring, and mewed "Wonderful, Seapaw. You're improving already!" She tensed, scenting the wind, and nodded upward, toward a bird in one of the lower currents. She flattened herself to the ground, watching her apprentice. The bird was too far for her to catch, but it would fly straight over Seapaw's head.

She looked up and saw the bird. "I think I'm going to try to get this one." Seapaw mew-whispered. Seapaw crouched, her hind legs tense. She leaped up and twisted, and brought the bird down. But quickly, the bird escaped from her grasp. "Why in StarClan did that bird escape?" she screech-mewed.

Mossfire smiled, and mewed "That was perfect, but you brought it down right away - that gives it a chance to escape. Next time just take hold of the wing. When you drop, either it comes with you, or the wing gets torn off. Just don't let go!" She smiled, and added "Do you want to try it again, or go find some different prey?"

OOC: Do cats smile? I know they purr, but I don't know about smiling.
"Try again!" Seapaw mewed stubbornly. "I want to catch a bird." The apprentice crouched down, and kept her hind legs tense. She looked around and saw a bird. Trying to time it correctly, Seapaw jumped up and twisted and snagged the bird's wing. The bird tried to fly away as Seapaw clumsily landed on her paws. She quickly bit the bird's throat and the bird didn't move. "Yay! I caught it, I caught it!" she mewed happily as she turned to Mossfire. "So do I bury it now? Or are we going back to camp?" she asked her mentor.

OOC: well, my RL cat smiles. lol BIC: Mossfire purred. “That was perfect, Seapaw!” She waved her tail, and mewed “We can head back now if you want. You should get some rest; we're going to try some fighting moves tomorrow.”

OOC: lol
Seapaw yawned loudly. "Yeah. I'm tired," the young apprentice started to drag the bird along with her. Then she picked it up with her mouth and trotted quickly to catch up to her mentor.
OOC: end it here?

Mossfire waved her tail, grabbing her own bird and Seapaw's rabbit, then padded toward the camp.
OOC: yep
