he enters and soon finds his place across from her.
it feels proper in a way, to be sitting across from him and ready to share a meal that he had meant to offer her. and she feels a bit gristly to have to do the next thing - split the fish.
but thankfully, while iseul is not the most skilled fisher, she is talented when it comes to filleting, so to speak. with a speckle of artistry in her work, the girl comes to grab ahold of the fish and begins to feel out with her nose and teeth where she can begin. like a master of the craft, she finds the gills and drags a sharp tooth against the belly of the fish. with a bit of twisting and pulling and biting, she manages to break the gills from the fish and begins to pull down the fish's belly.
with one clean swoop, she manages to get the part removed, as well as some of the organs, which she picks through gently and sets aside with the gills. had she been a talented butcher who used a knife, she'd have been able to split this fish more evenly into beautiful fillets. but alas, she's only got paws and sharp teeth, but this would still be enough!
with tender care and one of her inner toes, the girl comes to begin tearing the fish into even slabs. she's more tedious during this, as to ensure that she does not rip the meal into uneven parts. and it wasn't until the end that the body curved, where one part of the fish had the tail, and the other didn't.
so, out of respect, she places both before makan, and with a beckoning nudge, she offers for him to pick his favorite.

Iseul is still learning English and will frequently pause to find the right word. This often occurs with an audible 'uh' or 'ah' sound, as well as speaking a bit slower to try and avoid mistakes. Your character is welcome to notice this!
