Investigating yet another little spring stream that had refrozen along its edges, Tor's tail wagged as he spotted fish struggling through the shallow water. This was the second time he'd gotten lucky enough to find an easy meal, and by the looks of it I can probably bury the extra fish in a cache if I can find one... Licking his chops Xetor exercised the little fishing experience he had and sat at the edge of the little stream.
After a few failed attempts Tor growled deep in his throat frustrated with himself. Last time he had done this the young Archer had been able to scoop the fish right out of the water rather easily. Stepping back away from the frightened fish the young male looked down on them. Their long barbels twitched along their smooth grayish brown sides as the long water creatures swam over each other trying to get away form the predator. Tor realized suddenly that these fish were different than the first ones he had caught, and that the water was deep in this stream. The puddle he had previous fished from while trailing Sorya had been very shallow to the point where the fish were swimming on their sides, and those fish did not have long whiskers and brown bodies like these did.
That's why they are a bit harder to catch I guess, more slimy with the ability to go to deeper water and get away. quietly he surveyed the fish then realized that the longer he sat still the more the fish came close to the edge of the water unafraid once more.
Moving forward the Archer sat at the edge, scaring the fish at first, and then waited for them to come close again. His muzzle hovered about a foot and a half over the water watching for movement.
A few minutes passed when Tor finally moved jutting his jaws forward only to have the tail end of the fish slip right through his mouth.
"Dammit..." He hissed before setting himself up again, this time with his nose barely touching the waters surface, mouth left slightly a jar, and waited for the fish to come close once more.
Nearly three minutes later Tor pushed his face into the water and came up with a two pound cat fish struggling between his canines. The dark yearling moved the fish on shore and using his paws to anchor the fish, bit down hard on its head to break open its skull.
Quickly the dark male gobbled up his prize happy to have the feeling of food in his stomach. Then he repeated the fishing process until he had three more catfish, one small six inch fish, one mid-sized ten inch fish, and the last to be hauled out being a three pound monster who had hid near the bottom of the stream.
Tor had eaten his fill with the first three fish, but the last and largest he had decided to take to the den and try to get it to a cache. It was during his struggle to end the largest catfish life that Xetor had heard his name called by a strong feminine voice that was unknown to him. Just... wait. a second...woman.. the young male growled in his head while hauling the flopping fish onto dry ground. The dark wolf was battered by the slimy thing numerous times as the catfish's tail flipped around under his chest and around his legs. After being hit the face a few times Tor had finally gotten a chance to place his fangs through the damn things skull.
rest
He rested a few minutes watching the large catfish for movement before looking in the direction of the call. It had been rather close, and since the stranger female knew his name Tor figured it was a high ranking wolf calling. He didn't want to be any later than he was, so the rust and black male grabbed the 20inch fish and carried the creature towards the strangers location.
Once he got there Tor's amber and silver eyes were graced by an older female who had obviously given birth not too long ago. The lead female? Then this is Aunt Elettra... Quickly he lowered himself letting the fish drag under his belly, then approached Elettra, dropped the catfish at her paws, and tried to lick just under her chin before stepping back once more.
"It is an honor to finally meet you Aunt Elettra." He bowed his head and waited for her reply or for something else to happen.
