Hemingway had spent the morning, after a instinctual patrol, hunting along the creek that ran through the pack, aptly named. He was drawn to the water on instinctual nature, given his personality resemblance to the Kelpie of his lore. It was where the nickname had stemmed from. As it was, Hem hoped that he did not resemble a water horse because he did not imagine horses were very attractive creatures and he was vain enough to assume that they were speaking of the 'handsome young man' half of that lore when they had bestowed the nickname to him. He was an accomplished fisher, though he had not told Bazi of that initially upon his acceptance if only because he was not sure if it was something that these Creek wolves valued or not. To Hem, it would only serve to make sense given the location of their pack but even so he did not presume to make the assumption.
Violet gaze settled on his prize as he stood in the shallows of the quickly paced Creek, watching the trout swim around his legs, Hemingway's muscles pulled taunt beneath his earthen mottled coat as he stood as still as he could manage so as to not startle it. Poised and ready when it came within the prime attacking range he submerged his muzzle, jaws grasping the fish, clamping down when it thrashed violently in his grip, it's tail slapping against his muzzle in a furious attempt to writhe its way free. He lifted his muzzle, the fish splashing his chest with it's continued attempts and loped awkwardly to the bank, dropping the flopping thing on the ground, far enough away from the bank so that it could not flop it's way back into the water.
The scent of Bazi caught his attention and he glimpsed up, placing a paw on his writhing, slimy prey knowing that eventually the lack of water would be it's end, his attention going to his Alpha with her nose to the ground, looking as if she had just stepped out of the water herself. He gave a soft chuff of greeting, ears slicking back to his skull in submission. It was a strange thing, still, submitting to a woman but it was like anything — it became easier the more he did it.
