Mistlewhisker watched as Dawnstar made an attempt to fish. Her first attempt was less than graceful, and resulted in a splash of water that reached Mistlewhisker's paws. She shook one out absently as Dawnstar waited with an intense look on her face for the fish to return.

Mistlewhisker was certain she hadn't seen Dawnstar express anything other than fury, annoyance, boredom, and sadistic amusement. Seeing her so focused on something without a scowl was... new. Mistlewhisker wasn't sure what to make of it. Dawnstar's next attempt at a fish was successful, the scaled creature arcing over the creek's bank and onto the hard ground. Mistlewhisker waited for the leader to kill it and bask in her success, but Dawnstar just stood there, staring at the fish as it writhed under her strong forearm.

Mistlewhisker blinked as Dawnstar asked incredulously how to kill it. Oh. She hadn't even thought about how cats who never fished before would be confused by the lack of neck on fish. She pushed back the amusement that threatened to pull on her lips, watching Dawnstar struggle to keep the fish down. "Bite the flesh behind its eyes." She meowed, jerking her head towards the bulging, glassy orbs on each side of the fish's narrow head. Biting at any spot around its head or gills would probably kill it, but around the spine at the top had been the most effective for her. She supposed you could also just wait for it to die via suffocation but that took longer.

As Dawnstar did so, Mistlewhisker returned to the creek in order to try again. She wouldn't let herself be shown up that easily. The silvery fish darted obliviously to and fro in front of her, scales reflecting the afternoon sunlight back at her. With a snap of her paw, she managed to snag a fish and scoop it up, pulling it onto the shore and killing it with a swift bite. Aha! Finally. It had been so long since she caught a fish. Her face was littered with droplets of water, and she began grooming them away. Eugh, she would smell like fish for a while after this.
