Spieden's tongue lolled out as a happy pant pulled the edges of her mouth into a smile. This was her element, where she was truly meant to be. In that moment she felt like she was somewhere else. If she didn't know any better, the cold, clear water that tugged against her legs and tail could have been the Salmon River, the focused faces along the bank her family. Maybe, in a way, they were.

Brown tail flailing despite the water that weighed it down, Spieden lurched forward after the lithe red fish that shimmered and darted before her in their feeble attempt to escape. There was a strange noise she couldn't quite place at first, until she realized she was... laughing? But she couldn't care the least, and as they rushed closer to the shore she watched the fish become trapped between them, a net of teeth and limbs pinning them in. Salmon were flying through the air, some back into the river at large but many back onto the bank, caught by the pack pulling them out one by one. Spieden couldn't help herself now, shoving her face straight in to the frothing water and clamping down on a few scaled tails that would join the rest on the beach.

Once the water calmed, everything either captured or free, Spieden pulled herself back onto the bank, soaking wet and but without a care in the world. Seeing the scaled bounty that awaited on the earth she was grinning ear to ear, she was so proud of the pack. "Dig in!" She commanded, they'd all earned it.
