Fish Are Friends Not Food....Wait....

Biting his lip and his heart pounding wildly, he had run out of options. Though the beast spoke, maybe she had understood him? But given the language in which it spoke...maybe not. Well, only one thing left to do. It was do or die. And if he died, hopefully she would eat him in one bite so that he wouldn't suffer too badly...he shuddered at the thought of it. Slowly, he shuffled forward, the scent of the creature hitting him full on, a wild scent that he had never smelled before. He could see paws, legs, then a chest. And finally the farther he moved forward he'd see a face. Only his head poked out, ready to be pulled back into the hole at a moments notice like a turtle if she tried to get at him.

She was unlike anything he had ever seen before, and so much bigger too! Wide eyes gazed up, his ears pinned back to his head. "Wh-what do you want? If you're gonna eat me then it already...I don't care!" He tried to sound brave, like he didn't care if she ate him. But obviously that's not what he wanted.
