Ah, so he was fishing. A small smile spread across the length of Hezekiah’s muzzle as the boy bounded out of the water to circle around him with enough excitement for both of them. It was endearing, to say the least, of him to be fishing for Kaena. Aside from Inferni, he felt he was particularly indebted to her as well, because she had been kind enough to make sure he was well off before turning him loose through the territory itself.

“Since you’re smaller and quicker, I bet if you sneak real careful on these rocks, they won’t see you coming. And then when the next wave comes in… you could try jumping on them.” They moved right along with the waves, seemingly pushed by them, so it seemed like a good idea.
