[Jupiterpaw.]

THE SUN HAD DRAWN NEAR
AND THE SOUNDS WE COULD HEAR ​

Jupiterpaw ♃ 10 moons ♃ demi-girl ♃ she/they ♃ skyclan apprentice

​

Ears twitch against her skull as she moves - slowly, carefully. Paws all but glide across the leaf-litter, her breath hardly more then a faint puff against her whiskers as she breathes out and then in again, jaws parting. Another twitch, limbs coiled taut and then-

'Fox-dung!' pawsteps scurry away in a flurry off motion as paws close in on thin air, head lunging forwards with a hopeful snap of her jas. It's enough - amber eyes widening as she bites against wriggling tail with more force then necessary. She wobbles for a moment, startled, before she regains her senses and wraps soft paws around the furry body, teeth snapping it's spine cleanly.

" It saw me coming, didn't it? " she says quietly with an angle of mottled ears and a heavy sigh. At least she'd recovered though - she can't help but wince at the thought of how disappointed she'd be if she'd lost the mouse entirely.

— were so sweet and so clear

  ♃ — Jupiterpaw is blind, and therefore will not react or respond to visuals beyond some ability to differentiate light and shadows. Any visuals mentioned in her posts are meant for other roleplayers reference, and any events in roleplay that are disregarded are likely a purposeful choice due to her limitations. ​
  
  

 

[Ekat]

Despite herself, Ekat still startles when the apprentice near her bursts through the dried, crackling leaves underpaw and closes in on her prey with an instinctive bite to its retreating tail. The she-cat blinks at Jupiterpaw in startled silence for a moment, willing her heart to stop racing as quickly as the mouse's might have been as her younger Clanmate manages to secure her catch after the initial blunder. Sudden rushes of movement still alarm the anxious warrior even when she knows full well they're on a hunting patrol and they're to be expected — and Ekat stifles a sigh of her own in her self-directed impatience. Her instincts are always on high alert, but sometimes it feels they do more harm than good.

Ekat turns her gaze away, returning her attention to the surrounding forest in search of her own prey once Jupiterpaw regains her composure after the mostly successful catch — but she doesn't miss the apprentice's visible disappointment. "It might have," Ekat admits in response, doing her best to reassure Jupiterpaw despite how awkward she feels in the process. Ekat is sure she's in no place to offer advice, it's what Jupiterpaw's mentor is for — but she understands her insecurity with how close failure might have seemed. "Still, you caught it, and that's what matters while you improve, right?" Part of her wonders if Jupiterpaw's mentor might feel otherwise, might demand perfection, and she bites back anything more.​

 

[oakrumble]

-ˋˏ Oakrumble is not a very good hunter- but she makes up for it in her brutish strength. She's simply not agile or swift enough to make a good hunter. As she watches Jupiterpaw stalk a mouse, down wind and a few fox lengths away, Oakrumble's nose crinkles as she notices the apprentice sway before the killing blow. Her broad features widen as the apprentice manages to recover and keep ahold of the mouse. "Very well done, Juniperpaw," she bellows, ambling over- she shoulders past the apprentice's mentor.

She nods, voicing her agreement with Ekat's sentiments with a hoarse mew. "You did a great job gettin' steady again, Jupiterpaw! Practice makes perfect-" Oakrumble gestures at the mouse with a rotund paw. "-and there's no need to be so hard on yourself, you got this, didn't ya? Now you know to keep your pawsteps surer, heh?"

[Radiopaw]

✷ /　The breeze ruffled his short fur as he stalked a similar mouse. Maybe they were brothers. Or something. He carefully tread forward until the moment was right. Not yet... he thought. Still as the air after a storm, Radiopaw watched. He waited for the mouse to turn it's back and...

NOW!

He pounced, landing square on the rodent and killing it swiftly. "Ha, nice," he said to himself, a smirk playing on his maw. He overheard Jupiterpaw's messy catch and laughed to himself a bit. "Hey, Jupiterpaw, aren't you supposed to be better than me at this?" he teased. Maybe he was cocky. Maybe he was confident. What was the difference, really?
