Sunbeam Lair the calm on my face, does not match the inside.

Avannon's heart soared and before the male moved away she returned the gesture letting her muzzle rest against his shoulder for a few seconds before breaking the contact.  She shook her white pelt and trotted after him an exhuberant bounce in her step. When they approached the stream she bent her head down and took a long drink, Her ears perked at his parting words and she looked at him "thank you...brother" she said slowly and smiled at him. She sat facing the stream and noticed that there were not as many fish here as there were at home. home...you have to stop that. this is your home now. She scolded herself. Waiting patiently she watched the fish swim, the flashes of silver catching her eye. She focused on a medium sized fish, the one closest to her. She slowed her breathing and stepped back a few inches away from the edge, so her shadow wouldn't hover over the water. "c'mon..closer.." she muttered and heaved a sigh as the fish darted further away from the edge. She shook her head and resumed her silent breathing when finally a fish, a small one, darted close to the edge. Avannon hooked her paw underneath and before the slimy could swim away she pulled up with a strong jerk and it flipped onto the land. She held it down with a heavy paw and bit into it killing it. "it is small, but it is still food" she murmured and picked it up in her jaws, carrying it down the slope to the cavern.
