His lover was sleeping so the man had taken the opportunity to get some fresh air. As always when he left the apartment he locked the deadbolt and placed the key in the pocket of his trench coat. He didn't plan on being gone long or going far from the building, but he was taking no chances. Not with her safety. Not after everything she had been through and was still struggling with. When she was awake he hardly left her side, only if it were necessary. The coyote had been hunting a lot lately, making sure that she was well fed and nourished. The thought that he was also feeding some spawn of the crow wolf inside her left a sour taste in his mouth, but he tried to push it away. Maybe it would turn out like her and not like that demon.
Onus' feet brought him to one of the lakes that lay in the middle of the city. Hidden eyes caught the glimmer of movement in the water. Fish, he thought. All he had been catching for food lately had been rabbits and squirrels. Mixing up the menu might be a good way to lift both of their spirits, at least a little. He removed his coat and hat and set them near the edge of the water. Then he began to wade into the water. It was cool and refreshing against his skin and fur. He had fished this way a couple years ago when he had stayed in a city that had a river flow just outside it. Hopefully he would still be able to pull it off.
The male stood still in the midsts of the water, allowing the fish to get used to his presence. Shrouded gaze watched their silvery bodies closely as they same near him. Clawed fingers flexed themselves as he watched his prey. A few more minutes, then he would be ready. The coyote looked like a statue made of stone and then struck suddenly like a cobra. His hand shot into the water and he felt his claws close around a wriggling scaly form. He plucked the fish from the water and used his teeth to break its neck and end the creature's suffering. A few more and he would have a nice dinner for him and his love.
