Fiery orange eyes scanned to boggy swamp, trying to find the familiar bob of a frog's head. Her ears keened forward slightly and she lowered herself to the soggy floor. "Just follow my movements." She whispered, turning her head towards Lilypaw. "And try not to make any sudden movements..." Her attention landed on a pair of tiny eyes that just bobbed above the shallows of the swamp. She waited for a few heartbeats, her prey blinking and bubbles rising from underneath the murky depths. A split second later, she splashed into the water, diving her head in and rearing back rapidly. When she emerged, two dangling long legs protruded from the side of her jaws. Her dark face was engulfed in even darker, brown sludge. her senses were completely flooded by the putrid smell of standing water. She didn't care though, she was used to it after doing this a few hundred times. She waded out of the shallows, her belly fur dripping, and gently placed her prize on the shore. Duskracer shook what she could of the mud from her pelt, then nodded to her apprentice. "See? Easy. You'll get used to the smell pretty quickly." Beaming, she picking up the limp frog and trotting down farther into the swamp. "We'll hafta find another spot to hunt." she said through full jaws.
