Ravensblood Forest River Fishing

Violante loved her son, without a doubt. She held him perhaps a tad closer to her heart, if only for the fact that he was, at present, her only son. She did not love him anymore than Asara or Violante II, of course, but she was simply more protective of him. Even now, she found herself proud of his patience, of his willingness to learn.

At the river, she told him, "There are many ways to fish, as there are many types of water. Here, at the river, we can see large salmon come in from the ocean, during their spawning season, for example. They jump, and are strong swimmers, but the river and their journey can tire them out. Many other fish call the river home, too, of course." Violante moved closer to the water's edge.

"Close to the water, you must wait for a fish to approach, unless you can find something to entice it towards you." Here, she showed her stance; poised, waiting to strike, eyes trained on the water. "You can strike with your paw or your mouth, whichever is easier." She relaxed.

"As for their taste," Violante gave a chuckle, "They are unique, much unlike land animals. Their taste depends on if they are saltwater of freshwater, the latter being more briny and tasting of the sea." She looked to her son. "Come and watch the river, I'll try to catch us something."
