Gideon was definitely going to grow up to be a big wolf. He had a very large frame with wide shoulders and a wide torso, his feet larger than average as well. He had forgotten to ask his aunt if such things ran in their family, size-wise, or if he had just gotten lucky. The boy was pleased to do tasks that were suited to his personality, like fishing, not choosing to use his size for anything other than to benefit the pack.
He did notice that Layla was being rather quiet, and gave her a curious look as he held onto the pole. Goodness, was this thing heavy!! With her help he slowly stepped backward, reeling in whenever he felt the slightest give. He was afraid that his line might snap with the weight, but there wasn't anything that they could do but continue to try and pull it in.
His muscles strained with the effort of reeling the aquatic animal in, pulling and pulling for what felt like hours. They were only minutes, though, and he soon had the catch up over the rocky edge of the cliff, flopping and gasping about on the mossy rocks in front of him. What WAS that?!
The animal was a grayish blue color throughout, about half as long as he was tall, and as he pulled it farther away from the cliff side he could see that when it opened its mouth, sharp teeth became visible. The hook was caught on the side of its jaws, stuck completely through. "I've never seen anything like this, Layla! But it kind of reminds me of a whale...a little bit!" He said, flabbergasted.
