There was a dull splash as a small white form hit the water, paws first. "Almost!" squealed Xion, looking over toward her mother, who sat by the stream, watching with golden eyes. Xeris smiled. "You're getting there," she said, amused. "Soon you'll be bringing home dinner for the whole family every night." Her daughter grinned widely at the praise she received and went back to focusing her attention on the stream. For a moment she stood completely still, watching for the shimmer of scales beneath the water, and then she pounced.
Xeris had taken her daughter out here to learn to fish, mostly because Xion herself had asked about it. And Xeris knew just the place for the young wolfess to learn; the stream where she met Rendall and Ty. While Xion hadn't had as much success as Xeris and her friends had that day, it was still good for the two of them to get out and about for a while. The boys were off somewhere else, presumably with their father; they had showed more interest in his teachings than in their mother's today. It was a lot of work, being a parent. But enjoyable at the same time.
