I'M NO PIRATE

A turtle! She may not have been too excited by the ocean, but she caught a glimpse of the creature that swam below its constantly moving surface, the animal with the circly thing situated against its back with wide limbs that propelled it through the water much more swiftly than she could move. Come back! she thought, intent golden gaze following it and bringing the rest of her along for a few sluggish steps. It was no use. She was no fish, and she did not possess her mother's finesse when it came to the water. It disappeared once, resurfaced again near Genesis - which he announced excitedly - but even by the time she had turned and splashed over it was disappearing again. It was sneakier than the hares on land!

Cru returned their attention to what had initially drawn them all to the water, and at the mention of it Anais raised her head and glanced between them both with a bit of her earlier embarrassment returning. She might have been quick on land, and known a little about fishing from her mother, but she hardly felt qualified to have the both of them staring her way as if seeking direction. "Um." How did she begin? Thinking back to her own lesson she tried to remember how her mom had done it. With calmness. With patience.

"My mom says that patience is key. The fish are scared of quick movements and it makes them run away. Just like rabbits," she explained, sharing a quick smile with Cru as she referenced their last impromptu hunt. "You just gotta wait until they're close. And then bite faster than they can swim." Was that a decent enough lesson? Not wanting to feed them her instructions when she herself was not even very practiced in the success of the directions she gave, the grey-gold youth smiled a little sheepishly before adding, "Though I tend to bite too quick. Fishing's harder than hunting. I like Genesis's way better." Her tail wagged just above the water's surface as she thought about the good romp through the water they could have that way, even if it slimmed their chances of getting their prized fish. "Maybe we can make a game out of it?" she offered, even more excited now than before.
