Guided by Starlight [Branch]

Aerndis struggled with the fish, carefully shifting her jaws and she stumbled back farther inland. Should she lose her grip on the fish she'd much rather drop it on land where she could retrieve then let it slip right back into the water. Lowering her head she dropped the fish and quickly maneuvered her paws over it as she began to tear into it. She wasn't sure how to cleanly kill it like a deer or another land animal and with the taste of its fresh flesh in her mouth she suddenly realized how hungry she was. She just dug in and soon the fish stilled. She worked quickly and carefully, not bothering much with conversation. She figured Branch was probably eating his fill as well. When she'd finished with the carcass she licked her lips and glanced at the sky.

"Well, I had best be going. I need to get back to my den site tonight. It was a pleasure to meet you Branch. I hope I run into you again." With a polite nod she slipped through the woods, content and full.
