'tis leafbare :3


Stormstar padded in with his apprentice and wondered if they should hunt in the ocean even though the waters most likely cold.

[Honeypetal]

Honeypaw padded after him, looking around carefully for anything.

[brightwish]

"Okay, so let's see if you can swim," he meowed padding up to the Cove. The water washed over his paws and it was suprisingly warm. "Get in the water and kicked with your back legs while pulling the current with your front paws," he explained while showing her. "Now you try."

[Honeypetal]

Honeypaw nodded and jumped cautiously in. "Oof," she muttered to herself at the coldness as she had basically never swam before. Clumsily, she started to do as Stormstar said.

[brightwish]

Stormstar nodded. "Now go under and try to hold your breath for as long as you can. If you really need air, just kick off the ground. Don't try to kill yourself," he continued.

[Honeypetal]

Honeypaw nodded and took a deep breath before letting the water take her down. Churning her legs, she managed to keep under water for around 7 seconds before kcking up and gasping for air.

[brightwish]

Stormstar nodded. "Good. you'll get better in time. Now lets hunt some fish." He jumped out of the water and onto one of the rocks surrounding the cove. "The waves pull up some fish here. You can also hunt in the cove itself, but here is the easiest." He looked at his apprentice. "When theres a wave coming, look for a shadow. If you time it right, strike out and pierce the shadow, well, fish, and hook it with your claws and throw it onto the land. If you don't see a shadow, a fish is probably not in it," he explained, "but even if there was its not easy enough to catch. Oh, and if a fish flies out of the wave, still do what i said for seeing a shadow." After all of that, he ended with, "got it?"

[Honeypetal]

Honeypetal nodded, her tongue between her teeth in concentration.

[brightwish]

"Okay, now try it." He jumped over to another rock to give her room, but not too far so if she were to fall in he could easily go and save her.

[Honeypetal]

Honeypaw waited at the waters edge and, when a fish came, hooked it. However, it slipped from her claws, launched into the air and landed back in the water. Honeypaw flicked her ear in annoyance.

[brightwish]

Stormstar nodded. "Good try. Your still learning, I bet you can get one next try."

[Honeypetal]

Honeypaw nodded and waited for another shadow to some. Yet again, another one did and she snagged it out, flinging it onto the rocks. She cut its neck and looked at it happily.

[brightwish]

Stormstar smiled. "Good job! Keep practicing, we still need lots of prey." He then hunted himself and caught a fish too.

[Honeypetal]

Honeypaw nodded and caught another fish.

[brightwish]

Stormstar decided to go diving for clams and found one.
