Dancing With Cinderella

Kar had slowed as he reached the pond, careful to not go plunging into the cool water. Gaze would flick over the trout that swam in the water. Fish was Kar?s ideal prey, those that he felt were lesser in the food chain than most others. Zanire could talk... And surely other mammals as well. Fish were the only ones he normally felt comfortable enough to eat, unless he shared a meal with his beloved mate. Upon hearing his daughter give a bark of protest at the temperature of the water the man would turn his gaze to her, a chuckle rumbling within.

?Cold it is sure enough, my daughter. The seasons are changing soon, and with them the temperature will continue to drop lower and lower over the days.? He glanced back to the leaves, his daughter?s questions and curiosity having her speak and act quickly, leaving him to keep up with her. But it kept things fun, sure enough. Kar enjoyed it very much. ?Not exactly, Mystic. You see... The trees are preparing to sleep during the coldest months of the year, what we wolves call winter. To prepare for that they must first loose their leaves, so the leaves begin to change color, falling from the tree. It is the end of the life for these leaves, and when spring comes again new ones will begin to grow as the trees wake back up. It is part of their life cycle... As all manners of living things have.?

Lime-green gaze would turn back to his child, a gentle smile on his lips. ?My daughter, my little Mystic... There is so much for you to learn yet, but you need not know everything at once. Things will come in time, I assure you.? The brute would shift his gaze back to the water, to the fish.

?Fishing, for example, and swimming will be things I will not be showing you until the days are warm again. Falling in water during cold days, especially within winter, can be deadly if one is not careful. You can get very sick, so you must take care to remember where the areas with water lie so you don?t fall in by accident.? Great Siri there was so much to teach her.

?But for now... I can teach you about fishing with you simply observing. One thing you must take great note of is that fish scare easily, so you mustn?t splash about all wild. You must be patient, waiting for them to swim into your path before striking with accuracy. Try not to make your shadow appear or move suddenly either, for that movement too could alert them.? With all the information he was giving her it was a wonder if she would retain it all. It was hard to believe sometimes he was once her age.

Kar would wait, his tail tip giving a small flick, as he watched the water. Then, with the skill of a practiced fisher, he would snap his jaws onto a trout, blood tainting the water as he lifted the wriggling creature out between his jaws as it flailed for it?s life. He?d toss it onto the shore, stepping upon it with one paw before delivering a killing blow and taking a step back. ?One day you?ll be able to do that too... And so much more, Mystic.?
