The last thing he would have expected was that he would be shown up. By a girl at that. He didn't quite know how it had happened either. The hunt had been going surprisingly well, up until the tail end of the hunt. He originally had his sights set on a pair of squirrels, however, one was spooked and a warrior caught the remaining squirrel. Feeling displeased with the lack of making a kill, Smudgepaw would find himself searching away from the patrol, in hopes that something would emerge after all. By the time he came across a mouse and had successfully made a kill, Smudgepaw turned around to see a bitter sight. "How did you manage that?" The mouse had fallen from his jaws before his question, the shock that Palepaw had caught a second squirrel for the patrol was evident on his face. How did a girl of all cats catch a squirrel herself?! An apprentice no less. Having always seen the toms bringing back the larger prey, he had subconsciously associated squirrels with being a masculine catch. He'd already come to the conclusion that Palepaw did not catch the squirrel on her own.
// prompt: smudgepaw gets shown up by someone he has deemed less skilled. does he chalk this up to coincidence, or accept his defeat?
&& (@Palepaw ) hope this is ok lol !!
