With the fish planted firmly under her puppy paws, she peered out to watch Willam once more with excited interest. The woman gave her kudos, and Azucena’s pride soared, her small tail wagging behind her like a triumphant flag. But Willam said there were more to catch, one for each of ‘you’ she had said, which could only mean she intended to have Zuzu call over her family. The Lykoi girl was perfectly fine with that, she wanted to see how proud her dad would be, and rub it in Basilio’s face that she had done something he could not.
These thoughts were interrupted by a fish flying at her face; Azucena yelped but reacted quickly and jumped to try and catch the fish in her jaws. She failed, and it went careening into a nearby bush, but she quick to follow. The low hanging branches of the shrub acted as a natural net, keeping the fish from being able to flop around to violently. Azucena immediately snatched the slippery things up in her jaws and exited the bush, only to see her first fish nearly at the water’s edge, in surprise she opened her mouth to say, No! dropping the fish she had been holding. Luckily, she managed to retrieve the escaped fish and corralled it with its buddy between her paws just in time to see Willam’s whole upper half disappear beneath the surface. Zuzu could not help but laugh, instantly reminded of stories her father had told her about large birds called Ostriches sticking their heads in the sand with the tails in the air; Willam reminded her of an Ostrich.
But she resurfaced, another fish grasped in her nimble hands, and she bade Azucena to fetch her family. The girl nodded, and looked down at the fish, both of which now were merely twitching instead of flopping; they would not get back to the water now. Turning quickly, Azucena ran just a short distance away to where her father and Basilio were, Papa! She cried out, and Helotes opened a single eye with a smile to look at her, and Basilio started and glared at her. Papa, come see what I and Willam did! We fished! Oh come see! She nearly pranced before them.
Helotes laughed and stood, still holding a wriggling Basilio under his arm, Alright calm down girl, let me see what you’re talking about. Zuzu smiled and ran into the woods, Helotes quick on her tail. Just by the river, he saw several shining silver bodies on the bank, and a very wet Willam in the water. The father could not help but blush slightly under his fur, but his daughter was too excited to focus on anything else. She explained what had transpired, and the Lykoi male gave a grin, Well now, very good Zuzu! You’ll turn out to be a fine fisherman if you continue to do what Willam told you. And then he gave a warm and genuine smile to the la Chemin woman.
