She thought for a moment, inspecting the fish's eye in front of her."So... They can't see you very well, over all, but they can see you if your not quick enough to catch them. That's why you have to scoop them up from their front, because their instincts tell them to dart forward, which would just be going into your paws?" The pup mimicked the scooping motion Jace had done to catch the fish. Shedid this several times until she felt comfortable. Though it wasn't completely adequate, as it wasn't moving, she tried on the dead fish, muttering that she was slightly off to the left. Fixing her position, she found the most accurate way to catch a fish, with her paw splayed sideways just a tad, acting as a scoop, and her head angled a bit so her left eye could see more.
She looked up at Jace. "No... I want to try for myself. Then you can tell me what I'm doing wrong and we can fix it." She turned to Ferdie, remembering what Jace had called him. "Okay, Mister Ferdie, I'll catch two fish for us, and they'll be superfish, they'll be so big!" she knew that wasn't true, but the hope would push her to do better. She felt that she always did better when she was in a hopeful mood. She padded to the water, eyeing the surface carefully...
A flash caught her eye, and she was on it in an instant. She scooped the fish, and it went flying, a rising sense if dread made her realized her mistake. Too far to the left! Stupid eye! quickly she snapped at the flying fish in desperation. She caught its tail before it hit the water. She dragged it out as it wriggled to get free. Once on the bank, she killed her fish. She was soaked from the experience, and she turned away. After walking a bit, she shook herself down. Her sleek pelt was now a little more fluffy, and her ribs didn't show out as much. She turned back to the adult wolves, seething in embarrassment and shame. She looked down at her paws and squeaked softly.
"S-Sorry...!"
