Eventually, after some immeasurable amount of time, a faint glimmer of silver beneath ruffled water signaled hope for the wayward youth. He steadied himself, jaws parted as he lined up to snatch the fish from the stream when - COUGH.

His attention momentarily shot towards the girl's direction and by the time he turned back towards the waters, it was already too late. The fish, long gone and likely never to be seen again, was well out of his harms reach as it abandoned the girl to a still hungry Xizur.

Clearly unamused with the whole situation, the agouti youth turned his sights back on the girl as he shifted himself a few steps away and motioned to the now empty spot next to him. If she was so sorry, then she'd come and catch him a fish.
