Iseul wants to teach both Ines and Matteo her words for many reasons. for one, it would provide Iseul a chance to be around others who could actually understand her in the language she is most fluent in. and second, it is perhaps another way to keep themselves guarded around the isle. as far as Iseul knows, no other creature has come near with her language on their tongue. and perhaps it may pay off to keep it that way.
and the kids were growing stronger and steadier as each day comes to pass. eventually, they would no longer need to rely on Iseul for everything. but that would only happen if Iseul continues to give them the best chances to learn and succeed, especially with the feelings of anxiety that she feels trying to care for them.
she does come to drop the fish (well, more like toss it a little bit away onto the grassier part of the isle and away from the water). besides being able to feed Matteo, this activity covered also as a game and somewhat of a life lesson. Iseul looks to him and comes to say excitedly "Matteo catch it!"
because at this point the fish has started to wildly flip-flap itself around with a face of horror as it remains out of water. perhaps this is not the kindest lesson regarding that the fish is going to suffer, but Matteo needs to eat and needs to get coordinated!
"quick! before it go into water!" a supportive nudge to his rump before she comes to start wandering to the side to cut off the escape route back to the water (and avoid Matteo feeling the need to jump in).

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!
