That was very much simpler, and they very much liked that over what it was that they were doing right now. But at least their theory had been partly correct and running their paw over the different fish they gestured to one of them.
"This one is a trout because its colour is slightly more silverish, and it's a lot wider than the pike. And then there is the pike which is really long and its got a more yellow tint and its bigger and that means you need to be careful when catching it. I heard stories of pikes swallowing a cat whole!" Were they making that up a bit? Just a tiny bit but they were technically right... something bigger than that could eat you and Eelpaw surely did not want either of them to get eaten. |
There was a sound of something going against… Something. She didn’t quite know what, though it wasn’t very loud and a bit curiously Primrosepaw tilted her head with a questioning expression. What was Eel doing? Her tail taped the ground when she didn’t get an answer, though that was quickly forgotten when how-to-recognize-these-fishes started. A paw reached out and she started to tap the pike, but frowned when they said it was supposed to be- uh.. Wide… Big- but wasn’t. So she tried the other one, who felt enormous! It was amusing to poke them though, so giggling she continued until her attention was caught by the other fish who apparently was called a… Ike? Wike?
“..w..eewl..” She named it eel. Pike-something was to complicated so she named it eel – whatever that meant, aside from being a name. And- eel-fishes swallowed cats? Wasn’t that like- being eaten- Primrosepaw gasped and quickly withdrew the paw that was taping it, intending to scowl at the fish. The drinking liquid had already tried to eat her once, she wouldn’t let the Ike-something do so too!
