Stone Circle play time

Nikai looked more bummed than Steph did, but she was glad he agreed to come back later. Maybe he already caught a bunch of fish earlier, she surmised. Because, why wouldn't he want to show off any other time? It was childish thinking, but then again, Steph was a child.

Her tail wagged and she smiled as she bobbed her head up and down. Yeah! she said a little loudly. She figured it didn't matter if they were quiet now that they weren't waiting for the kingfisher to show up. While Nikai was careful when he stepped into the water, Steph had no such qualms about the cold. She jumped in, not worrying where the water might go. She stopped, though, when she felt it hit her stomach. Nikai was a lot taller than she was, so he could go in further than her. Are the fish going to come up this close to the edge? she questioned. 

She settled into her spot, her eyes glued to the water. Her ears were perked, listening to whatever instruction her teacher might give, while at the same time searching for any movement that might give away the spot of the fish. So far, she saw a lot of nothing. But, she did make a splash entrance.
