Eaglepaw had gotten bored just sitting around in camp, and decided to go out for a stroll through the territory. The brown tabby left the camp and walked forward, with no real plan as to where he was going.

Pikepaw sat by a stream, staring intensely at its waters. He could see the tiny fish flicking in and out of view. Careful not to let their shadow fall on the water, they waited for one to draw close enough to catch.
A minnow came within pawreach. In a flash, Pikepaw flicked his paw forward, but his aim was off. Their paw sploshed ineffectively, and the minnow darted away in a little cloud of sand. Disappointed, he turned away to glance around him. They spotted Eaglepaw trotting out of camp nearby.
"Hi," they called, tail twitching with indecision. He didn't really know much about Eaglepaw, but it couldn't hurt to say hi.

Eaglepaw stopped when he heard a voice call out his name. "Oh, hey, Pikepaw, right?" he meowed, changing his direction so he walked a bit closer to the other apprentice. "I've seen you around a few times," he added. Eaglepaw hoped he was right, for he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of a possible friend.

(Don't worry! As long as your character gives me a thing or two to have mine react to, I don't care how long your post is in response. ) A little more relaxed, Pikepaw nodded. "I was just out here catching fish," they explained. "Have you been out hunting today?" He asked, more out of politeness than curiosity. They weren't really sure what else to say to Eaglepaw, but they did want to get to know their fellow apprentice better.

"Not yet, no. I was actually just looking for something to do, and hunting seems like a good plan," he meowed, smiling a bit. The brown tabby sat down by Pikepaw, hoping the other apprentice wouldn't mind. "Catch anything yet?"

Pikepaw settled down as Eaglepaw sat next to them. Eaglepaw wasn't going to bite him, he could relax.
"No," they mewed, trying not to let their disappointment show. "I haven't been trying long, really. I'm sure I'll get one pretty soon. I was trying to get one of these little fish here," he continued, gesturing to the stream with his tail. "I'm sure you could get one if you tried. There are a lot," they added.

Eaglepaw nodded understandingly, and scooted a bit closer to the river, raising his paw very slightly. The tom remembered something about aiming before the fish, and focused, flashing his paw out. He realized his mistake a moment too late and missed, causing the brown cat to curse under his breath. "I, uh, guess I'm out of practice," he mumbled, feeling bad for messing up in front of Pikepaw.

Pikepaw watched with mild interest as Eaglepaw tried to catch the fish. It slipped away from his paws, like another fish had with Pikepaw earlier.
"There's plenty left. They'll swim back pretty soon," he said. Eaglepaw seemed a little embarrassed. Pikepaw felt a little prickle along their fur; they didn't want Eaglepaw to feel embarrassed. That was pretty silly! Hopefully he would catch the next fish, if he tried again.

The brown tom slumped his shoulders and nodded. He twitched his bushy tail but this time, his paws slipped out from under him and he landed in the river, flailing his paws around before getting his balance and getting out of the stream. "I don't think I'm meant to be a hunter," he muttered, his long fur dripping. Why do I keep messing up in front of Pikepaw?

Pikepaw stifled a giggle as Eaglepaw fell in. It was really funny, but they didn't want to hurt his feelings.
"Applenose will be better help than me," he said, trying not to smirk. Anyone could slip into a stream, it happened all the time. Still... it was funny!
"We can do something else," they offered, before really considering. Did they want to hang out with Eaglepaw? It couldn't hurt to. Turtlepaw and Troutpaw had been busy today.
