Matteo’s face mirrored the expression of the fish as he watched it flap wildly around. He couldn’t quite make heads or tail of its random motions, and so he stared dumbfounded and a little wary as Isuel instructed him to catch it. Of course, he’d watched the leader work her magic in the water, but it was an entirely different experience to shift from observer to undertaker.
Waddling closer the raven boy tried his best to keep the fish in view until an encouraging bump on his bottom spurred him into action. He could do this! Trundling forward on unsteady puppy legs, Matteo pounced as he did when playing with Ines until he felt his jaws close around a scaly, wriggling body.
He barely had time to announce his achievement to Isuel before he unbalanced and went tumbling paws over tail with a muffled “WAHHHHHHHH!” until both fish and pup landed in a sprawled heap.
As the fish tired, Matteo’s teeth had clung firmly to its midriff, and he now looked up proudly to Isuel like a kid showing their artwork to a parent.
