Hunting and tracking were definitely one of his best talents. He was relieved to be assigned a hunting patrol, because he knew he could perform it well. He was even more determined to do a good job because of the state of his clan... The state of the forest, really. This illness was going to devastate them if they couldn't feed themselves, and he was going to make sure every cat in his clan had a meal today.
With his patrol he crept through the undergrowth of the oak forest with quiet paws, having caught the scent of a mouse that was somewhere nearby. Inwardly, he wished it was something bigger. If luck were on his side, it would have been a rabbit. Mice are still fine, though! He won't complain. He was happy to stalk and eventually catch his prey with no problem. Sitting back on his haunches for just a moment, he was unprepared for what happened next.
He had not seen the turtle hidden in the bush beside him, and even if he did, he wouldn't have regarded it as a threat. But this turtle decided it WANTED to be a threat. And so, it charged forth from its bush and rammed into Rabbitnose, causing him to jump.
"What-!?"
He looked down to see the turtle coming at him again. Why was it mad at him? He continued to step out of its way as he thought about how to deal with his aggressor. Can you even eat turtles? He's never hunted one in his life.
"I didn't know turtles had the capacity for aggression..." He says to himself.
