Silver Creek The Catch

As much as Spring enjoyed being taught, Shreya enjoyed doing the teaching. And it was good to have a sensible, attentive student who didn't need to be talked down to or hesitated over. Furthermore, she knew Spring to be fairly tough-skinned. Shreya loathed beating around the bush: it was nice when someone could handle her frankness.

That was about to be put into practice right now.

For while she gave Spring's response a bit of thought, and a half-nod of vague approval, she then pointed out what could come next. And what if they don't find prey? They'll think they don't have heart enough.

She thought of Gaia, who had failed at catching one fish after the next. That girl had had heart: albeit of a slightly broken variety.
