This is Harder than it Looks (Lakeheart)

-Paleshadow-

Today, the folded ear cat had decided to try his paw at catching minnows. Of course, this was no easy task for his legs were not as long as others and he wasn't as fast.  but, it was a welcomed challenge to the newly made warrior. His large circular eyes followed the many movements of the tiny fish that were just under the surface.  His fuffly tail twitched back and forth with concentration.  Once in a while he would flash his paw in to one of the little ponds, but the minnows would flit away faster than any fish he had seen before.  He wondered how other cats just did this so easily!  Paleshadow didn't feel like giving up quite yet though, so he continued on trying.  Trying and failing.

Goldenmist was fishing at the edge of a river. She caught a fish with one swipe of a paw. She looked around seeing a black tom that was trying to fish. She padded over to him asking, "Do you need any help, with fishing?" She asked as she sat down beside him as she lay down her fish.

OOC: Paleshadow is actually completely white with just fawn markings on his face and over his tail c:

The small warrior had been so engulfed in watching the tiny minnows swim around that he had not noticed another warrior approach him. but, when she spoke he practically flew out of his fur and in to the little pond of standing water. He whipped around to look at her, his folded ears moving in her direction. "Oh, uhm, yes I might." He mewed sheepishly. She must have been watching him struggle with the minnows. "I am having a hard time catching these tiny minnows, they are just so fast..."

Trickle Oh my goodness! I'm sorry!

"Don't worry, I was like that a few moons ago." She purred in amusement. "Follow what I do." She meowed as she unsheathed her claws. Her golden fur shone in the sunlight. She looked at a minnow closely, and then dived for it. She caught it in her teeth and gave it a killing bite. "You try."

Paleshadow watched as the other warrior showed him how to catch the minnows. Instead of using her paws, she used her face. That's what he was doing wrong! He just needed to go for it instead of flicking his paw in the water meekly. The Tom nodded as she told him to try. He looked in to the water, picking out one of the tiny fish to catch.

Once he found a desirable one he wriggled his hind quarters and then lunged. His mouth filled with water but he managed to snag one. He yanked his head out and spit out the water and the fish. Paleshadow wiped at his nose, which was burning from getting water in, before speaking. "That was too bad." he mewed then looked at her, "You're Goldenmist, right?"

Ooc: its okiee hehe

Trickle Yeah, I was thinking about another cat

She nodded. "You're Paleshadow, aren't you?" She asked. "You'll catch some fish sooner or later. I perfer using my teeth than paws. It's just easier for me. You'll have to decide what you like better." she said as she looked at a minnow. She took her paw and drew it across her ear.

OOC: Sorry for the late reply!

The short tom nodded, looking at her with interest. "Yes, I'm Paleshadow." His tone rose happily, "It's nice that someone I haven't met very often knows my name!" Of course, this exceitment was because he had just recently received his warrior name, and some were yet to catch on to it. Paleshadow looked at the minnow at his paws and sniffed. "I am not much of a fish catcher, my legs are sort of short and I am not as fast as most." He state -matter-of-factly, it didn't bother him. He knew what he specialized in and that made him happy enough. He paused for a moment and decided he ough to strike up some conversation. "So what are you doing out at the ponds? Just fishing or...?"
