She got up and padded to the edge of the riverbank, crouching and glancing at Ottersplash.

"Come on over, dear. This old bird is going to show you how to get two fish at once," Was she boasting? Maybe. As much as the river made her sick and she hated it, it was their food source, and like any RiverClan cat, she was an adept fisher. Maybe even one of the best? She hasn't paid attention to many of the younger cats fishing.

Oof--there it was. The forces of the universe acting through Starlingflight to punish him for pun-iness. Ottersplash flicked his ear away after she caught it with her paw, chuckling in guilty amusement and uttering a half-hearted: "Heyy. Abuse." A beat later, his ears perked up again. She called him dear, aw.

"I'm sure there's a lot I have to learn. And Starling, don't call yourself that! Age is just a number. Besides." Otter flashed an easy smile that showed off most of his pearly teeth, nudging the she-cat playfully. "I think you look young as Newleaf rain."

Ottersplash joined Starlingflight at the riverbank so that they stood shoulder-to-shoulder. "Two fish at once! My mentor must've been a slacker. I didn't know that was a thing you could do." He gazed at the bubbling water, enjoying the way it sent reflections of light bounding in every direction. Beautiful chaos. "So...what's your technique? Cause I'll definitely be using it to impress everyone later."
