Freeze Dried Fishing

Desperate times truly did call for desperate measures. Amaranth crouched sphinx-like on the driest patch of land she could find, glaring into the murky water. Had it really come to this? Was this the price she was to pay for her sins? Her tail twitched in agitation. She should just move on, leave this muddy tangle of waterways behind in reviled memory where it belonged. The air smelled of rotting vegetation and stagnant pools, muck and silt, and was positively brimming with life. That last bit might have been the worst of them all, because it meant her stomach was overruling her common sense and refused to let her flee. "It's not even below freezing today, you big baby." "Shut up, Ed." "You look like that stream stole your sweets and called you a loser." "Shut up, Ed." The bobcat laying beside her opened his mouth to toss another jab, but before he could manage it Mara ground out, "One more peep and I'll toss you in by your scruff. I'm working up my courage, let me live." The cat rolled his eyes but silence held, and even if he was still pretty sure they'd both die of starvation in the meantime he could keep that to himself. Mara stood with a resigned sigh. She would face her funeral with her usual dignity and grace, of course, even if keeling over frozen stiff was a stupid way to go. Whatever prey might be hiding in the brush ahead, there was no avoiding wet paws in this situation however she approached it. Fish were supposed to get sluggish in cold water, right? Maybe? Honestly she wasn't all that keen on fishing even in the warmer seasons but if her goal here was to get in, get a meal, and get out as quick as possible it was probably the direction she'd have to take. Didn't mean she had to like it, so Ed would just have to deal. "TALK" "YOU" THINK |
