Ravensblood Forest one fish, two fish

firefly’s ears flicked at meredith’s challenge, her teasing sparking a gleam in his eye. He turned toward her, water glistening off his fur, his grin sharp with determination.  

oh, aye, is that what you think? he said, his voice laced with mock offense, though the twinkle in his eyes gave him away. all bark, eh? well, i'll be showin’ you there’s plenty of bite where this loud mouth’s concerned, he teased, his voice carrying just the faintest hint of a pirate’s drawl.

he took a playful step closer to her, lowering his voice as though letting her in on a grand secret. i’ve been watchin’ those big ones, hidin’ down where the river runs darker. Got a feelin’ I’ll be pullin’ one of them beauties out before you can even blink.

turning back to the water, firefly waded deeper, his movements slower now, more deliberate. he cast a sly glance back at her, his tail flicking with playful confidence. keep those sharp eyes on me, meredith. you're about to see somethin’ worth talkin’ about, he called over his shoulder, the slight edge of confidence and nervousness creeping in like a new tune he couldn’t resist humming.
