Sanguinepaw and Sunpaw were far from the only one worried about the young apprentice's eventual fate. When Rhinestonestar had been forced to step up, he had to evaluate all the apprentices that the group had, and try to see who was doing well. When he had come across Sunpaw, and had seen how the tom bad been irreversibly crippled... it had made the leader's heart ache. The rusty red feline didn't want to tell Sunpaw that he could never do anything warrior related again, but anything he did do would be difficult, and take a lot more time than anyone else. Rhine could only hope that wouldn't dampen Sanguinepaw's spirits too much when it came to training – and that she knew she could trust him to make a good decision regarding her brother. He had to make sure that everyone trusted him... after all, what else was the point of the leader, if not to be the one everyone could look to in times of stress?

Returning his mind to the present, Rhine offered Sanguinepaw a soft smile at her reassurances, silently glad that she wasn't going to be too hard on him. The leader's tail flicked behind him as he glanced towards the water, giving a slight nod of his head before he spoke, "Brackish water fish, eh? If I'm remembering my own training right, that means we'll have to go near where the river meets the sea. Follow me." He gestured a paw towards her before leading her along the beach, towards the cliffs. They eventually reached where the small but rather fast flowing river met the sea, with Rhine settling along the edge of it. Pointing a paw towards the water, he explained quietly, "Brackish water fish, like most fish, require a lot of patience to hunt. Since if they see you – or your shadow – they'll dart right away from you. Still, they can be even more tricky, since they need their water to be slightly salty. That means they often swim near where the river is running the fastest. In order to counteract this, you wanna find choke points under the water, where the sea meets the river. Anywhere the rocks are poking out, or where things are clustered closer together. Things tend to slow down around there." He pointed out a few of the wet rocks jutting forth from the river, being careful not to cut himself on them.
