Satoru might have had a point, but it felt too late to back down now. To come out all this way only to return empty pawed would make the both of them look bad, and though Hanako was already out of the proverbial doghouse she didn't want to mess things up just yet. If ever again. She understood his hesitation though, but instead of showing some compassion she doubled down and with a flick of her snout gestured him on. How hard could it be? They didn't seem to be moving very fast and were no doubt sluggish from the cold weather. The sooner he scooped them up the sooner they'd be able to leave this terrible, muck-ridden place. It was a win-win for both of them, and Hanako might even throw in a good word his way if she continued to feel so generous.
Except things didn't ever go quite according to plan.
Hanako watched as he went to make a grab for them, the white teeth of his standing out stark against the brackish water. She leaned forward a little, curious, only to flinch in alarm as he surged back with what she imagined was profanity spilling from his lips. What? What was wrong? He nearly stepped on her paw but she was quick to snap it out of the way-and then she saw them. Nasty creatures that didn't look like fish at all now they were slugging along on dry land. Worst of all were their mouths, gaping wide open as though they were ready to devour the earth along with all of its inhabitants.
The stuff of nightmares, and certainly not good for eating!!
Hanako skittered back, dropping the sack as she made to put as much distance between herself and those-those things! She was just managing to hold onto the shreds of her waning dignity and the expression on her face read nothing but horrified.
"Actually you know what, never mind." She was quick to back peddle, pacing away carefully as she could without spraying mud everywhere. "I think you're right, they're probably not even fish...or edible. "
