It was days like today, days when she had nothing to do, that Owlpaw just kind of lingered at the apprentice den unsure as to what to do. So there she sat her chocolate and ginger coat just ever so slightly out of sorts. Currently she was debating between fixing the few messed up spots of her fur or heading over to the freshkill pile. It wasn't long before the grumble of the young she-cat's stomach made the choice for her.

Even then she waited watching other cats walk up and the depart to share with others.  Something Owlpaw tried to shy away from. Not because she wanted the meal all to herself but because she didn't want the interaction with another cat. 

She wasn't rude however if others offered her to join them or asked to join her. How could she be? Besides her mother definitely wouldn't approve of that kind of behavior. 

Once it finally looked clear the she-cat quietly made her way over taking the time to observe the prey in front of her and looking to if her favorite meal was somewhere within: A sparrow.

SORRELPAW

STONECLAN

Sorrelpaw struggled to bring her prey back to camp, tail straight up with a proud flair. Her mentor had gently pushed her out of camp to try hunting, but the young cat had been wary, and didn't exactly expect any results. The forest had been cruel to her the last couple days and between breaking twigs under her paws and birds startling themselves away, she had come back empty-pawed every time. But this time, the birds practically flew into her outstretched paws. Getting not one sparrow, but two whole adult sparrows back to camp though was proving difficult. Their wings, now lifeless, kept doing their best to trip her up at every step.

In the end, with one wing smushed against one eye, completely blinding her vision on that side, Sorrelpaw stumbled through the entrance to camp. She blew a grateful breath between the feathers, trotting quicker to the direction of the prey pile as she found familiar ground. Making it to her destination, Sorrelpaw released the sparrows into what she believed was the pile. Instead, she dropped them on top of another apprentice! Her fur fluffed up with embarrassment, an apology already bubbling up. "I am so sorry!! I could only see and smell the sparrows! Are you alright?"

She hadn't been paying attention enough to hear the paw steps approaching her. Instead she was snapped back when something landed on top of her and she instinctively jumped to the side her wide amber eyes staring at the sparrow that had been dumped on her. "I am so sorry!! I could only see and smell the sparrows! Are you alright?" She heard as her eyes gazed up to see the cat, who was clearly embarrassed, before shaking her pelt. "It's fine. I'm fine." Owlpaw meowed softly. It was another apprentice, so she wasn't exactly too upset yet instead she found herself walking back towards the prey and the cat she couldn't remember the name of at the moment. 

A light smile appeared on her muzzle as she picked up one of the sparrows holding both wings down towards the ground. "Next time you should try holding it like this." she spoke in a humor filled tone.

SORRELPAW

STONECLAN

Sorrelpaw had flattened her ears in embarrassment, but the she-cat's quiet words brought them back up. It was still a bad mistake to make, but thankfully she had dropped the birds on someone kind, rather than a grumpy warrior. Sorrelpaw let out an amused purr at the younger apprentice's teachings, eager to try it out for herself. "Like this?" Sorrelpaw asked, rearranging and gently picking up the second bird to mimic how Owlpaw was holding it. She paced a couple times by the pile, feeling the wings brush the ground but not tangle themselves in her paws. A louder purr escaped, tail waving in pleasure of learning something new.
Placing the bird back in the pile, Sorrelpaw said, "That's much easier, thank you! I've never caught a bird before, they're so hard for me to sneak up on." She admitted, "I'm Sorrelpaw by the way, I think we're too many moons a part to really learn together. Would you like to sit and eat with me? I'd love to hear more about catching birds."
