I Was The Prototype

Allegro watched Aranea refocus on her task and once the fish in his grasp had gone completely still he made a toss with his head to throw it onto the shore, making sure it landed in a patch of grass along the bank before turning his eyes back to Aranea again. He patiently watched and waited while she took her turn trying to catch a fish as well. She certainly was able to take his advice to heart and he saw her strike at a great time and a grin pulled to his lips in response, his tail wagging excitedly for her when he saw her head lift away from the water again with a fish in tow. However, the slippery scales of the fish clearly proved to be a bit tricky as it went flying from her mouth like a flying fish but without the wing-like fins. His eyes went wide as he watched it for a moment while he made a split second decision to try and save her catch.

He made a quick hop into the air, snapping a couple of times after it before finally sinking his teeth into it a bit further down its tail. It flopped and struggled against his grip, but his teeth bit through the scales so there was no way it was getting away this time! However, as he came back down to land, the current of the river swept his front feet out from under him and made his front half take a full on dunk in the river. He floundered for a moment before regaining his footing and standing once more, now fully soaked and holding a flopping fish that was currently trying to hit him in the face.

Looking to Aranea again with a wide, but slightly embarrassed grin, he laughed around the mouth full of fish he was currently holding and started trudging toward the shore. With the second part of their catch deposited on the grass beside the first, he gave himself a hard shake, sending a spray of water in all directions and making his black and yellow fur stick up in odd places. Not really realizing how silly he had made himself look, he turned back to the pale woman again and gave her another grin, saying, "Breakfast is served!"
