Gullpaw dipped his head in silent thanks, figuring that actual verbal communication would make the whole thing even more awkward.
He snickered at her advice. "Tried that. Didn't work. Now the whole clan knows she can't swim
and I have to deal with her fussing." A flash in the water caught his eye and he reacted on instinct, hissing as he turned away to bare his scarred neck to the other apprentice. He barely snatched the source of the flash, a particularly slow fish, by its fins and yanking it halfway out of the water before losing his grip. He sank his claws into its side before it could flop back to safety and tossed it next to the one the she-cat had given him. "To be fair, tough, I don't think I'd be much better if the roles were reversed. Less fussing maybe, but more constant stalking to make sure her head were still attached."
