His voice never came back.
But his strength came back in the wake of
@Bridget's care to him — and he sought to better integrate into this place. Something he had witnessed was the way
@Teya hunted the waters. It seemed so easy when she did it. Caches often filled by her ventures.
Today he attempted the same. Situated along the shore of the lake in the late afternoon.
He did not know he was watched, not yet.
He was too focused on the water and looked for something.
Anything.
The first glimmer that caught his eyes, he dove. Teeth snapped with a ferocity he had not used in sometime. He ached for it and when something filled his mouth besides the water, he wondered if he had bit down on his tongue.
Only he rose his head.
A fish
hung from his jaws.
It was then he spotted Teya.
He did not know the roles and ranks here.
Not in a true capacity, but he swung his tail and hips in wide waves of joy at her words.
Yes, yes! He could be a fisherwolf!
With what could nearly be described as a grin on his face, he placed the fish before her. Then returned to the water with an eager look.
Try again.
This time, excitement thrummed too heavy from him. When it came time to lunge for the fish, he found himself
too early.
So when he reared his head back, it was drenched. Nothing to show for his diving.
But discouragement did not find him yet.
Again.
Empty.
Perhaps he had exhausted himself for the day. Skill waning. His tail flicked with his silent frustration. Quickly beginning to pull himself from the waters.
Some small sense of shame bloomed.
Something else.
He lived for moments of activity nowadays. Too long had he spent lying around, healing, waiting. He could not vocalize it but his head and tail moved in ways to confirm his interest.
Anything was better than nothing.
continue or fade? game for both! <3
she nodded.
"i know place."
once upon a time, she had found a lovely facet of brecheliant along the hills, and here she led makan.
"go inside," she urged him. it was frequented enough to where no one else would dare to take up residence.
