Stone Circle Lost and found

'Calm down,' he thought. 'Focus.'

Evergreen nodded, if Ira wanted to see the action in motion first, he would do his best to give her a decent example. Of course, taken off-guard by the previous situation with Greyback and unused to having an audience, the bearish wolf feared he would mess up under the spotlight.

Fortunately, muscle memory took over for him. He laid in wait until a small fish swam close enough to the duo. Keeping close to the water's surface with his head bowed, Evergreen struck out with his right paw once he saw his opening. The movement was enough to bring the small fish closer to his agape jaws. With one gentle snap, the fish was now caught; flailing in its best attempt to escape the predator.

Evergreen exhaled a deep breath from his nose, grinning the best a wolf could with a mouth full. Now soaked from legs to chest to head, the Newcomer shimmed back a bit further onto solid ground. Once the fish finally ceased smacking its tail in Evergreen's face, he dropped it on the ground in front of him. Something like that, he said. If it were possible, he would have nervously scratched the back of his head. Oh, uh, have you tried fish before?
