Even though pulling her out of his arms had felt like the wrong thing to do, the Russo knew that an embrace kept for any longer would been awkward for the both of them, and raise questions that need not be raised. Looking at the fish, he cocked his head to the left, and to the right. An examination of the fish confirmed what the fight had suggested. It was a big fish. Of course, it did come from the sea and not a river or lake. If it had been a deep sea fish, it would have been more massive - if they had been lucky to land something like that, naturally.
Now he was still aware of his hands cupping Anann's, but he fought back the urge to rub his thumbs against the side of her hand as he would have were he holding them like a sweetheart's. Anatoliy himself was unsure of his feelings, having never taken interest in anyone before, if that was what this was. Interest? Was he interested in this woman or was it just strong sibling feelings? No, could not be, not when he had his own siblings to compare the emotions too. This was full blown attraction for the strong, pretty woman. God, he wanted to ask her what it was, but what if it ruined their friendship? No, he could not do that. So he would merely smile at her and keep on going as he had.
"Yes. It is a marvelous fish, Anann. And it vill be very good cooked over zhe fire." He looked at the fish again, just to keep from staring at her eyes any longer. "I am zhinking zhat it vill be a light meal for zhe two of us, but I don't mind if you don't," Anatoliy looked up, meeting her gaze once more. Then he let go of her hands and looked away. He grinned still, but he moved to take his things from the rocks. "You can use zhe net to take zhe fish, so you don't have to carry it in your hands," he suggested in his accented tones, hands beginning to fill up with their things.
