Singingpaw listened for a bit, and then meowed" I hear tiny footsteps, softer than any kit's"

"Good. Do you know where they're coming from?" Darkpelt asked.

"Good... Do you see anything over there that might be making the sound, or is it too far away to tell?" Darkpelt's tail tapped softly on the ground... once.... twice... as she waited for her apprentice to respond.
ooc- OMG! Love your siggy! xD That's so awesome!

"All right." Darkpelt nodded. "Good eyesight...So, do you know how to stalk, or would you like me to teach you?"

"Okay. First, you have to get into the hunting crouch." Darkpelt dropped down into the crouch. "See how I'm balancing my weight on my haunches? The weight of my body is concentrated there, so my paws are barely pressing on the ground. That makes it harder for prey to hear me coming." She nodded to Singingpaw. "Now you try it."

ooc- Sorry for the long absence. My computer's been finicky, but I'm back now.
IC- "Good," Darkpelt meowed, straightening up from her crouch. "Just one thing. I know it's hard, but try to balance out the weight so one of your legs isn't pressing down more than the other. That isn't as important right now, but it will be in a minute when you start moving in the crouch."

"Now you try moving forward. Pretend there's a mouse a foxlength in front of you, and you don't want to startle it. Try to move quietly and remember to keep your weight balanced. " Darkpelt sat, watching to see how Singingpaw would do.

Singingpaw dropped into her improved crouch and began to move forward, but stumbled and fell flat on her face

Darkpelt winced. "You okay?" she asked. "That was a really good try. It takes a lot more practice to learn how to stalk than it does to learn how to crouch," the black cat commented with an encouraging smile.

Singingpaw shook herself off. " I'm okay" she meowed, giving her chest fur a few quick licks
