Fable's ears flickered as she observed Hanako. She'd startled the stranger - and she did feel awfully bad about it - but the splotchy female seemed to recover quickly. Another attempt at a winning smile crossed her face. Maybe she could make more friends. The youngster was quickly learning that strangers rarely turned down a free meal, and then those strangers quickly converted themselves to friends. Just as she was about to bound closer to introduce herself completely, Hanako gestured towards the murky depths. Psst... Fable grinned again, slinking closer on soft, quick steps far back enough from the shore that her shadow didn't stretch across the river. Stupid fish would never see them coming!

She stared down the river, calculating how it'd be easiest to net this sucker. Aha! Just up river a small tributary eddied to the side and ended in a small, shallow pool. If they could funnel the fish further down and into the shallows, it'd be easy picking. Almost cruel how clever it was - the fish wouldn't have a chance. "You see that?" she murmured, gesturing with her nose towards the pool. Hardly any current found its way into the water - barely a ripple passed into it from the main river. "If we can fool it into there, it would be completely cut off." And judging by the shape of that shadow, more than enough meat to split for two. Introducing herself now completely forgotten, Fable waited to see if Hana would agree with her plan.
