Freeze Dried Fishing

Now she had freedom to come and go as she pleased, Hanako made a point of venturing as far east as the land would allow. Winter had settled in nice and comfy, her breath condensing from her nose as she bounced along the Delta. Sure, she could fish within the Armada's territory, but today she'd gotten a real hankering for fresh crab, the sort that couldn't easily be caught back home. Being the talented fisher she was, Hanako knew that crabs often frequented rock pools and there were plenty about the Delta, she just had to take her pick.

Slowing to a walk, she noticed a dappled wolf and bobcat lingering by the waterside and bickering quite incessantly, clearly reluctant to take the plunge. Not that she could blame them, if the air was chilly the water would be even worse. No doubt another reason she wanted to stick to shallower waters.

With a wrinkle of her pale nose, Hanako drew close to one of the many seaweed-soupy pools. The smell didn't do much to rouse her appetite but the sight of crabs skittering from her shadow was more than enough to make it worth it and since she'd hardly be able to eat all of them by herself, so why not share? She was feeling charitable and a meal was always best enjoyed with company.

"Come see." She beckoned them close with a friendly sweep of her tail, wondering if they were willing to play along. "There's loads of crabs and...an eel maybe?"
