Cerberus was pleased – and almost surprised – at the way this fae reacted to his gestures. She didn’t flinch away, she didn’t scoff or scold, and she didn’t poke fun. Instead, she played right along and even seemed to ask for more. Puffing up even further, Ceri allowed his smile to broaden as he looked back to the river. Of course he’d put on a show for her, and of course he’d teach her how to do the same. And this was why he was surprised, for it was almost too easy, as if this girl were reading his mind. But he was too foolish to care, too happy with the way things were going already. Instead, he nudged against her playfully and then trotted back over to the water, every movement as precise and as masculine as if he’d practiced them his whole life. And perhaps he had; this wasn’t the first time he’d fraternized with a pretty girl beside the riverbank. This would, however, perhaps be the first time he’d look at this girl as a student rather than another conquest.
Perching by the water’s edge, Cerberus stared into the shimmering body with a scrutinizing eye as his tail swished back and forth behind him. The water was still; at least it was still so far. It seemed as though he’d scared off the other fish with the pursuit of the first, and for a moment he felt himself panic at the thought that this fae would grow bored and trot away, never to be seen again. He couldn’t fail her like that; it was his duty, now, to catch a fish for this girl.
Finally, as if in answer to his silent prayers, a decent-sized bass floated their way, and Cerberus quickly but quietly gestured for the girl to come stand beside him. Be very quiet, he whispered, watching the fish again. And then…you pounce! Leaping into the water, Cerberus clamped onto the fish with ready jaws and killed it quickly, finally turning to the she-wolf with his trophy. Dropping the bass at her feet, Ceri gave himself another good shake, sending his fur splaying outward in an explosion of mess as he proudly awaited her judgement.
