Falls of the Hinterlands well i tripped, i fell down

I've got you now! Once more into the water he dove, bubbles forming as he ferociously wished to catch a fish for Wren, the lovely lady who asked him to do so. Again the fish grazed him by, fins tickling his nose as if the thing was teasing him! An underwater snort caused a surge of bubbles before the rose, water dripping with only a little saliva causing a sticky slime to hang from his maw. 

Dam it! Of all the times to embarrass himself! Frustrated he yelled at the skies before turning sheepishly to Wren, empty mawed. I uhh... I'm not very good at fishing I guess. He hoped that didn't make him undesirable now, they had a thing going! I'm better on land, I promise! Would this help his case or make him look desperate and sad?
