Fishes and Friends? [Maverick]

Luana was a bubbly thing, full of energy and excitement, even at something so dull. She grinned as though he had bestowed upon her titles and ranks of the highest assortment. She lowered her jaws, snapping into her prize with greedy jaws, she swallowed down large chunks of the fish before bounding back to the river, her heartbeat thundering in her chest out of excitement. She watched him, onyx studying his movements with precision. She was excitable, not naive. When he approached the stream she tossed her muzzle in the direction of the returned salmon.

"You have to pick one and focus. If you look at the whole bunch, you'll never catch a fish, they group together like that to distract you. Pick one, watch how it moves, predict its next turn and..." The fish shot to the right and then the left, as quick as the snap of the whip, Luana plunged her head beneath the cool water and trapped the squirming fish between her jaws. Much more graceful this second time around. She tossed it up onto the shore and watched it squirm and flop. She shook the water from her coat and backed up, allowing the group to return. She motioned to her spot at the water's edge. "Now you try!"

She had never taught anyone, anything before. She was supposed to teach Ceto how to swim but they hadn't gotten the chance yet. They had been too busy trying to escape Newt's tyranny in Lentajin. Her smile faltered when she thought of the psychopath. The pack would fall under such a leader, Newt was insane. She shook her head from such thoughts. She was trying to teach! She had to focus! She watched as he prepared to pounce, rooting silently for him in her head.
