He goes to the training area and waits for Joypaw.

Joypaw pads up to Thornclaw, eyes filled with exitement, but manages to keep her ground. "What are we doing today?" she asks.

"Okay, well first, do you have any specific questions you want to ask? A demonstration? An explanation?"

Joypaw thinks about the times she was overheard apprentices talking about their training. She says, "Can you show me any ways to hunt better?"

"Sure we can start there. There are many different strategies for different prey. But one thing they all have in common is smell. Lets go into the forest and practice identifying prey." He starts to lead the way a little into the forest.

He stops in the forest a little while away and then says, "Alright, there are many types of prey here. Can you tell me what they are?"

Joypaw lifts her head a little higher and opens her jaws a little way, scenting many different forest scents. She stays still a moment, telling apart the smells. "I smell a mouse in the undergrowth over there," she says, pointing with her tail. "What do I do next?"

"First, make sure you walk light on your paws. No need to crouch yet, you have to make sure you are downwind. That means the wind is blowing in your face."

Joypaw took a few steps foward, trying to stay light on her feet and keep her balance. "Like that?" she asked, stopping in order to make sure she didn't catch the mouse's direction.

"Right, now the mouse can't smell you, so it'll be easier to catch him. Now crouch low like this to hide behind the grass but stay light on your feet. Otherwise the mouse will feel you walking and will run away." He crouches down and carefully moves his paws, only barely keeping his head above the grass to see. Then he slowly stands up straight. "Then sneak up and pounce on it. Oh, and make sure that it doesn't make any noise when you land on it, or it will scare away near by prey. Alright, enough lecture, give it a try!"

Joypaw crouched down low, trying to do exactly as Thornclaw had done. She tried to keep her weight off her feet and maintain her balance. She stalked the mouse carefully, like Thornclaw. She pounced on her prey, quickly finishing it off with a swift bite to the neck. She stood straight, the fresh-kill in her jaws. "How did I do?", she asked her mentor.

"Good job! Just make sure you don't flick your tail too much when you're trying to balance. It will give you away. Okay, lets try again. What else do you smell?"

Blackdeath padded through SoulClan territory as if it were his own. His orange pelt blended in almost perfectly in with the Clan's undergrowth. A bird sounded a loud alarm, flapping its wings loudly as if to warn SoulClan that an intruder was in their territory.
The orange tom gave a hiss of annoyance, lowering himself to the ground and his eyes narrowed, trying to find an escape route as he looked around quickly.

"What'cha doin'?" Sunstreak smirked and slithered along the ground beside him. "What are we doing?" He fixed, looking up ahead of him. "Attacking SoulClan? I could live with doing that." His bushy tail flicked a couple of times as they crawled around a tree.

Suddenly Thornclaw froze, a faint scent drifting to his nostrils. He pulls back his ears and places his tail in front of Joypaw, signaling her to stay still. He crouches and creeps towards the smell.

Blackdeath laughed, "Could you be any more louder?" he chuckled darkly, in his thoughts he added, or dumber? ((XDDD))
"And for your info," he continued, keeping low and jumping over a small log, still padding along, "I am actually trying to bring home prey...I didn't feel like hunting in DeathClan territory." he paused and glanced back at Sunstreak, his green eyes dancing with the light of battle in them, "its too dull."
Without another word, he kept walking along, though keeping down in case the SoulClan leader, Whisperstar, had decided to randomly send out a patrol along the DeathClan border, then discovering that they were in SoulClan territory.
"So, what are you doing here?" he asked, "I've told my story. What about yours?"

"Who, me?" Sunstreak followed him easily. "Yeah, I do this often for fun. Like to terrorize the peace ya' know? It gets to dull, as you put it." He smirked coldly. Sunstreak came upon the clearing that Thornclaw and Joypaw were in. "I think they smell us..." He laughed under his breath. "Good. I've been itching for a little battle lately." Sunstreak's claws suddenly dug into the ground as he braced for an attack.

Blackdeath gazed around into the bushes, laughing silently and looked back towards Sunstreak. His eyes glazed as if they were also just waiting for the SoulClan cats to attack.
"First come...first go." he smirked.
