Blackwater Islands aphrodite had the beauty

Hunting/fishing thread #2!

Having spent the better part of the morning (all the way to midday) off of the main island and trying to find something to eat, Hemithea wondered if anyone had noticed. She found her way back eventually, although she was not aware of what timing she would need to avoid the sea's wrath; the girl believed that the Mother would part for her if she was doing her duty, or perhaps swallow her if she wasn't — and by making it back to Soteria intact, she had her answer.

Hanging from her teeth was a fat salmon - its scales gleamed with a faint rainbow tone as she carried it - and once Hemithea was upon dry land again, she dropped it in the grass and began to dig a cache. First she sought out a heavily marked patch of the island, one she figured was heavily frequented, and then began to dig. By the time the salmon was buried she was hungry again, and scoffed down at the fresh mound of soil (and her muddied paws), tempted to dig it up again just to fill her gut.

Inveitably the girl turned from the new cache and headed further inland upon the island. She still ducked away from the eyes of the sisters, flicking ears when they spoke greetings or feigning deafness, keeping her body busy so that they would not bother her — and when she found herself on the other side of the island among a heavy grove of trees, decided to burn some more energy by seeking a sand-laden edge, and scouring the seaside for more fish.
