kashpaw bounded ahead of his mentor and stopped in the tall golden grass. he remembered that the last time he was here, he had met those two kittypets. he wondered how they were doing these days

OOC: i do know this, but kashpaw isnt perfect, so yeah
kashpaw shrugged. he'd never caught a rabbit before, let alone eaten one so he had no idea "umm do you catch them before they run away....?"

Well, you have to be a fast runner. also, I usually sneek as far as I can before trieng to run after it. And make sure the wind is blowing your scent away from the rabbit.

"Yes. Now, find one and we will catch it together." She know that catching a rabbit alone was near impossible for an apprentice.

kashpaw had never smelt a rabbit before but perhaps, he thought, the rabbit will smell a little like a mouse and a little like a badger since it was a size inbetween them. kashpaw sat down and closed his eyes. he tried to find some scent of both creatures (and he did, but the fox had been by a long time age and its scent was stale) no luck. he opened his eyes and turned his black head to his mentor to tell her he couldnt find it, when he smelt it. it was more like...a rabbit. the smell was like a rabbit (he couldnt even explaion it to himself in his own mind). heart thumping and his entire frame quivering with excitement, he looked wildly around at goldenstrean again and said "there! there! there!" he pointed frantically in the direction of the rabbit with both paws

"Good. Sneek tawards it and be ready to start the chase. I will help you." He spotted a good one she thought.

kashpaw stepped away from goldenstream a tail-length or so before he crept into the long grasses to that when goldenstream came out, kashpaw wouldnt be right beside her. with this new tactic in mind he crept forward lookiing expertly between the stalks of grass for his prey

Goldenstream realized what he was doing ((I think)) and crept taward the rabbit a diferant way.

kashpaw looked to his side and saw goldenstream a few strides to his right. she had understood what he was doing. kashpaw looked forward again but still could not find the rabbit. maybe its hidden
