Squishy squishy fishy fishy

Venom was on her way to bed that day when she caught wind of one of her nieces near the lake. Curiosity, and affection, got the better of the Empress as she changed course to go and see what the curious pup might be up to. They had recently been let free on Ashen lands. There were many eyes to keep watch on the very many pups that were now wandering about. She was sure that was to both Chimera and Aliana’s relief. The fact had certainly made her feel better about her own broods.

White gloved paws carried her closer to the water’s edge when she spotted the young girl, whose attention was caught by the jumping fish. Not an odd sight especially this time of year, but when the creature did not offer a repeat performance she could see the pup visibly deflate. "Are you watching the fish?” She asked as she navigated the muddy banks, not so keen on getting her pale paws muddy right before she planned on sleeping. "Do you know how to bring them to the surface?” Venom asked cryptically.
