Leaving the octopus with Toshi and his net, Azure stepped back into the water with the now empty pot. Treading slowly back out to where he'd found it lodged in the sand, he ducked his head beneath the waves and replaced it firmly for the next creature to crawl into. One octopus caught, one trap reset, that was enough, right? He hated the cold waters of this beach even more than the warm waters of the tropics. Fishing had always been a chore, even when he'd had to do it to keep his pregnant mate happily fed while she was den bound. Thank the gods she could do it herself now.

Stepping back onto the sands and returning to Toshi, he reclaimed the netted octopus out of the companion's paws. "I'll bring this home." It was a heavy creature after all, and if Hana was set to drag one of her own then she might struggle beneath the weight of two. In reality it was a way to dismiss himself that might not flame the koi-colored wolf's annoyance higher. "I have things to attend to."

He tossed a lingering look back at her to ensure his mate had heard his words and had no complaints before turning to head back toward the Col, octopus in maw.
