Today, Lilitu decided to go fishing.
There was a stream that flowed through their territory, an offshoot of the greater river through the taiga that eventually cascaded down into the sea. It was fast-flowing, for the most part, but there were several spots that pooled more slowly and created a safe haven for fish.
Safe until she came along, anyway. Well—it had been a while since she'd fished. But Teya had been a good teacher, and she tried to summon those skills now as she sat by the water, waiting for a shadow to linger near enough to snag.
It would be a good day if she could make a catch and bring something back for Chacal. Her babies were hungry, no doubt, and the woman needed all the nutrients she could get.
Perhaps she'd even gain a fishing partner, should someone come by. One with more experience. God willing.
