 {{wst>pinkgothic|With a somewhat amateurish but still quite sufficient wriggle, Demarath, still clutching his prize with two hands and his maw, made to both surface for air and to placate in the misguided remnants of an instinct that wanted to expose the eel to an environment that would kill it more quickly, even though it was already as good as dead. Taking it to the surface simply felt //natural//.}}
+{{wst>shyriath|As Ilirith surfaced, the eel ceased its feeble struggle; it was either dead or close enough to make no difference.
+The green takma spat out a bit of water, then smiled. "Not bad," she said, "for a first try. In the future, you'll need to practice efficiency - getting in a quick kill, getting it on shore, and then going back. Three adult takmar can go through a lot of fish if they're hungry."
+The eel's ribbon body, expending the last of its muscular energy, made one last ripple, cracking its tail like a slow, wet whip. It slapped Demarath lightly in the face. Ilirith, unable to help herself, made a faint //snrk// noise. "Ahem. Sorry.}}
+{{wst>pinkgothic|Demarath's one eye, despite not directly in the path of the eel's slapping motion, reflexively shut. For a moment, an irritated expression rippled through his antennae, before being erased by the achievement. He had caught something. He had caught it on his first try. As Ilirith said, there was room for improvement, but it had gone much better than he might have assumed.
+Perhaps he could make himself useful after all. Perhaps he could make himself useful //right now//. He deposited the eel in one forepaw to free up his mouth, briefly licking at his teeth, before saying, with some eagerness: "I can practise now, right? See how much food I can gather for the group before I run out of energy?"}}
+{{wst>shyriath|Ilirith smiled tolerantly. "I don't know how soon Zadireth will want to get moving again, so I don't know that running out of energy would be all that good an idea. But certainly, it wold be best if we could get everyone a decent meal if we can, so some practice would certainly be in order."}}
