Redrum mimicked her raised paw, breath bated as he waited balancing on three legs. It did not actually take long for a fish to foolishly swim ahead of him, the current keeping it suspended in motion as it leisurely swam in place.

But, as he swung his paw towards the water in a clumsy attempt to carry out his own suggestion, his movements lacked the grace and precision he had hoped for. With a resounding splash, his paw met the surface of the stream with a less-than-elegant thud, sending ripples cascading outward in all directions. Opps.

For a moment, Redrum feared he had missed his mark entirely, his heart sinking with disappointment at his perceived failure. But then, to his astonishment, the fish was propelled from the water by the force of his clumsy blow, landing with a wet slap onto the dry land nearby.

A grin of sheer disbelief spread across Redrum's muzzle as he stared in awe at the fish now flopping helplessly at his feet. Though his attempt had been far from graceful, he had somehow managed to achieve their goal through sheer determination and a healthy dose of luck.

Turning to the older girl with a sheepish grin, Redrum let loose a boyish snicker at the absurdity of the situation. "Not- pretty. But. job- done." He remarked with a playful twinkle in his eye.
