[center]Duskwing gave a purr of approval at his answer,[color=f26522][i]He's been paying attention then, that's good[/i][/color]. She noticed, with some amusement, the stoic mask he had slipping slightly into annoyance at the cold that continued to nip at them. At Moosepaw's mention of a mouse she raised her head and scented the air; picking up on a few scents, she did indeed smell mouse nearby, likely nesting under the roots or bushes of the nearby trees. [color=f26522]"I smell it. Go ahead and try to catch it."[/color] She sat and curled her tail around her paws in an attempt to preserve what little heat she had and stop her paws from going completely numb; watching Moosepaw with a critical eye to see what else they might need to work on. [color=f26522][i]His form is good and his paw steps are careful...[/i][/color]she nodded to herself, pleased with how his training was coming along.[/center]

[center]Keeping one eye on her apprentice, Duskwing looked towards where Sunfur had approached [color=f26522]"Thank Starclan for that, a groundhog will go a long way to helping keep everyone fed,"[/color] glancing back towards where Moosepaw stalked towards the bushes [color=f26522]"With all of us we should be able to catch enough for the camp."[/color] Glancing upwards towards the gray leafbare sky she sighed quietly, feeling even more grateful that she had other cats to help hunt rather than having to try and survive on her own. After watching Sunfur pad away towards the stream she turned her full attention back to her apprentice, scenting the air herself for any other prey that may be nearby.[/center]

[center]Stormheart gave a nod [color=00aeef]"That's encouraging to hear, the last thing we need in leafbare is a fox or something getting curious around our borders."[/color] He shook himself slightly, both in an attempt to ward of the cold that was starting to creep under his thick pelt, and to cover his slightly nervous demeanor. As Hawkpaw bounded up, Stormheart smiled fondly at the tabby apprentice, [color=00aeef]"Good morning Hawkpaw, as ready as ever to get out on patrol I see,"[/color] almost getting dizzy watching her bounce around the entrance. Glancing briefly towards Brambletail he stepped out of the clearing into the forest, noticing the paw prints of the hunting patrol that set out shortly before they did, [color=00aeef][i]hopefully they get lucky with the prey, we certainly need it.[/i][/color][/center]

[center]Stormheart glanced around quickly, pricking his ears for the sounds of anything out of order. He could hear the soft voices of some of his other clanmates in little ways in the distance, but not much else of note. [color=00aeef]"We can head to the stream and follow it up to the edge of the territory before looping back around on the other side back to camp."[/color] moving in direction he became even more thankful for his thicker pelt as the wind blew through the trees occasionally knocking snow onto the ground as the patrol slipped by. [color=00aeef]"Even if we aren't on hunting patrol it couldn't hurt for us to keep an eye out for prey, right?"[/color] he glanced back towards Brambletail for confirmation, who had quite a bit more experience than he did in these types of things.[/center]
