Orsino chuckled lightly as Discordia pointed out the much more reasonable method for fish-catching. "Ah, of course. That should work out much better," he agreed. She picked up his paw for a moment to point out his natural weapons. He tried to act nonchalant about the contact. Orsino tapped his claws lightly against a nearby stone, readying himself for his next attempt. He listened to Discordia's explanations as the fish drew closer again.
"Just swat it out of the water," Orsino repeated as he attempted to position his paw just above the surface. His paw hovered there, just waiting until the correct moment. Orsino was barely aware that he had stopped breathing for the moment. Suddenly the fish was right in front of him.
Orsino stuck as quickly as possible. His paw hit the water and he felt the body of the fish. He saw the creature's small form fly through the air, almost as in slow motion. And then suddenly, with a splash, the fish fell back into the water and Orsino watched as its form swam away.
He turned back to Discordia, a sheepish grin on his face. "So close that time," he said. He didn't really feel disappointment at his second failed attempt at hunting in a row. It didn't really matter to him because no matter what, he was out here having a good time with her. "I couldn't really figure out the angle for that swatting thing," he explained.
