Today, Foxtail wants his apprentices to focus their attention onto land prey. As great as it is that the river supplies them with an abundance of fish, the prey found on land can be just as important. It's not just a skill preserved for dry-paws; as some might say. StarClan forbid the river gets poisoned, or a careless twoleg overfishes— you cannot always rely on the river. Pebblepaw can use some more practice with hunting on land, and he can't help but feel curious where Sunpaw's progress is at. The fiery apprentice seems pretty confident around the water, but can the same be said while on land?
The three of them arrive at beech copse; the thicket of trees providing shade from the sunlight. It's the perfect area for them to hunt on land, it's even great for battle practice— wait, what's that in the corner of his eye? It's spherical.... round, and nearly as tall as him. It's is covered in black and white hexagon pattern, and Foxtail can't help but raise an eyebrow. "What is t-that thing...?" He mews, thoughts about hunting briefly leaving his mind. It sits on the grass; unmoving as the lead warrior cautiously approaches it... and with a tilted head, he prods at it. It rolls forward, and the lead warrior nearly leaps in alarm. Relax.... Look how slow it is, He tells himself, as he watches it lose it's momentum.
It doesn't seem to be dangerous, Foxtail thinks momentarily, and beckons with his head for them to head over. He knows they must be curious too, and Foxtail opens his maw. "You b-both can head over, it isn't d-dangerous..." He expects to find strange objects like this in, or around, the twoleg camp— not here! His gaze focuses onto Sunpaw as the two come forward, out of the three cats here, she is most likely to have an idea of what this.... is. "You lived with t-twolegs," He says with a flick of an ear, "do you k-know what this is?"
