A dark coat draws in heat and in the winter that was a good thing when one could find a patch of sun to lie in. However, at the height of summer when the sun was always out, proved to not be as nice. Moonshadow had decided to escape the heat by napping within the cool earth of the communal den. Sleep had not come easy for the aging woman and she laid there for a while before deciding that a dip into the lake would be a better bet.

Exiting the den, the heat hit her like a wave. The inky woman gave her dark pelt a good shake and her limbs a good stretch before heading towards the lake. She moved and at an easy pace and when the sound of splashing reached her silver dusted audit she picked up her pace. She reach the clearing just in time to see the dark form of Nash disappear beneath the surface. She stopped abruptly concern written all over her features. But as quickly as he was gone he popped back up and she laughed. As he sawm back to shore she trotted to meet him "Its a good day for a swim huh?" she laughed reaching the water line.

 

Her silver dusted banner wagged happily behind her as Nash approached shore. He mumbled that she saw that before shaking out his pelt near her. "Hey!" she laughed stamping her paws to splash water back onto him. Two could play that game.

Their antics died down momentarily as the youngest Eastfall man admitted that he was trying to fish and that he was never very good at it. Moon let out another chuckle as she splashed him once more. "Well makin' all that racket isn't gonna help." she teased as she stepped further into the water slowly, allowing the cool water to make its way to her skin. "Ya gotta be slow 'n quiet."

There were two reasons why she moved her large inky frame moved deeper into the cold water. Not only to cool off but to reach the environment of their prey. She lowered herself into the water so that her body was submerged and she chuckled as her youngest empathized that that he had tried being slow and quiet but never seemed to be able to catch anything. She turned towards him slowly still submerged "For how long?" she asked her tone only slightly teasing. Fishing required more patience that hunting prey that could run. She stood back up careful to only make minimal waves. Her mercury gaze met his emerald and motioned for him to stand next to her.

Turning back around to face the center of the lake her eyes scanned the water below. "Ya gotta be patient 'n allow the fish to come to ya." she explained in hushed tones.

She stifled her laugh as to not scare what fish were brave enough to still be by. Luckily the silt had settled most of the way down allowing the visibility to improve significantly. "Would ya like to try again 'n I can give ya suggestions or I can show ya how I do it." The ebony mother asked her tone hushed as to allow their prey to think it is safe to swim near them. She was curious to see how he fished and was reminded of her first morning in the cove. When @Kajika had helped her perfect her self taught technique. The aging woman missed her best friend and hoped that he and his family were safe and happy.
