He looked at the older woman with obvious excitement in his features, an eagerness burning in his blue and yellow eyes. She was going to teach him something new, and he was going to learn to be the best! She made a move towards the lake and he bounded after her, trying his hardest not to trip over his overly large paws. Fable was doing pretty well so far, but he had been working very hard at stepping carefully. He had tripped far too many times, and he didn't want to look silly in front of Fortune! She might think that he is too clumsy to hunt and give up on him. She said they were going to work on identifying birds at the lake, and he perked up right away. Oh! Did that mean swimming? His gray and white tail wagged behind him, until she shot him down with a firm voice. His lower lip pouted out, but he slowly nodded his head. He supposed that he could stay out of the lake, it seemed like it was important for his learning that the birds didn't fly away. Aww, he was hoping to chase them and catch a nice big one for when Ma came home! As they neared the lake Fable tried to slow down his stomping paws, his ears alert and on the look out for birds. There were lots of birds, right? How many birds were they going to see? Ten? Twenty?? That was a lot of them! He nearly let out a yip, but remembered that they were here to watch. Pursing his lips closed, he decided that it was best not to talk at all, but BOY was it hard to keep all those questions from pouring out of his maw. He nearly wiggled with the effort it took, an almost pleading look sent Fortune's way. He needed to know if he was allowed to talk, or what he was expected to do. Chewing on the inside of his cheek, he tried his very best to be a good boy. When it all boiled down to it, if she didn't give him directions fast, the boy would not be standing calmly at her side. He vibrated with effort to stay calm, his eyes nearly watering. He needed a distraction, anything! Fable didn't want to ruin the lesson, but this was harder than it looked. Maybe if he held his breath... Yeah! That was a good idea! Puffing out his cheeks, he clamped down and kept all the air in his lungs, canting his head to the side as he gazed up at the huntress.
