Silverwind's tail streamed out behind her, her silvery fur buffeted this way and that by the wind. Fleet of paw and living upto the last part of her name, the she-cat's light and speedy pawsteps were taking her to the river. She turned her head to locate Cloverpaw, and explained. "Today we are going to concentrate on the prey around the river, not in it." The mentor's ears pricked as she recognised the running of water, smoothly cascading over the rocks and stones of it's riverbed. Racing towards it, Silverwind didn't stop to let Cloverpaw catch her breath, and came to a halt at the bank. She sat down and curled her tail around her petite paws and waited for her apprentice to appear. [/size][/color]

Cloverpaw smiled as she padded through the forest after her mentor. Everything was so beautiful early in the morning. So they were going hunting, but not in the river. This would be interesting. She wished Silverwind would have stopped for a moment, to let her breathe a little, but Cloverpaw didn't want to dissapoint her mentor so she trecked onward. Finally spotting her mentor the apprentice skidded to a halt and sat down, gasping for breath. "Exactly what are we hunting?" she asked curious as to what would be on a river bank.

Silverwind smiled and didn't answer, but stood up, and motioned with a flick of her tail for Cloverpaw to do the same. "I want you to tell me what you can smell." She instructed, after tasting the air herself. Water, of course, but it was mingled with the scents of water vole; an easy caught type of prey that Silverwind herself was quite partial to. "Remember, go further than just the water. Don't let it block out other fainter, but sometimes more important scents." She sat down again, and waited for her apprentice's response. [/size][/color]

Cloverpaw still had that same look, the look of being completely confused and trying to figure out what was going on, on her face, but only nodded and got back onto her paws. "Smell?" she asked blinking at her mentor. Not wanting to do anything wrong, and to get as much training as possible in the apprentice smiled before sniffing the air. "I smell the water most of all.." she began but then she heard Silverwind's statement about going further than just the water. "I smell maybe a patrol or something that came by here recently, or somewhere near here. And maybe some type of prey, but I'm not quite sure what kind, it smells like a vole, but yet not like a vole." she meowed, finishing her 'sniffing' job and looking at her mentor.

Silverwind nodded. "Excellent. You are right." She stood up, and raised her head to the air, taking a short breath. The she-cat then dropped into the hunter's crouch, and padded forwards slowly, towards the riverbank. A leap and a few splashes later, she walked back to Cloverpaw, and dropped the water-vole infront of her paws. "This is a water vole. They're like normal voles, except they inhabit the river, and find their food source along the riverbanks. I want you to try and catch one now." The mentor sat down, and waited for the apprentice.
