By Your Side

Mingan looked to Zisa and nodded his head, and, after a short while, he managed to reach the shoreline with her in tow. He chuckled and looked to the water, seeing some fish swimming in the water close by them. He sighed and looked at the fish, dipping his mouth halfway into the water, keeping his nose above water as best he could. When the young brute felt scales brush underneath his teeth, he snapped down quickly as the fish wiggled his his mouth, causing him to topple over, but he managed to hold it within his mouth as his canines easily crushed the small, delicate bones as it soon lay motionless and placed the morsel in front of her.
