Renton watched as Aniyu started to dig a hole in the ground. He wondered what the purpose of that action was, so he stepped out of the water and asked her, "What are you digging a hole for? Are you trying to hide the bones of the fish or something?"

"This is perfect, thank you." said the wolf, her jaws full of fish. Aniyu licked her lips, and took another bite. The sound of the water rushing by sounded in her ears as she ate, and the light wind whipped her fur this way and that. When she was finished, she began to dig a hole in the ground, looking at the remains of the fish every-so-often to judge how big to make the hole in the ground.
Renton watched as Aniyu furiously went after the fish . He smiled and figured that she must have been so hungry that she felt really greatful that he came by to help her get what she needed in the first place. "How hungry do you feel right now? I mean, do you feel hungry enough for more fish that you need my help again to help catch some more for you?"

The wolf jumped over to the fish, wrapping her jaws around its throat to suffocate it. "Thanks!" she said, most obviously greatful for the meal. The water creature struggled in her grasp, but the fight didn't last long. When the fish stopped moving, Aniyu set it on the ground and poked it to make sure it was gone, before taking a large bite of the meat.

Renton smiled at knowing that Aniyu liked his idea. Then he lowered his head low to keep an eye on the approaching fish that swam downstream. Two fish swam close by, and he lowered his head close to the water until it was the right moment for him to dunk his antlers in the water and trap the fish in his tines. A couple times, he missed the fish, but one new fish came by, and Renton was successful at catching it. The moment the fish was caught in the antler tines, Renton sweeped his head to the side in order to toss the fish onto shore and let Aniyu calm the fish down so she could eat it soon after. "Well, there you go," Renton said to her. "That's one fish."

Renton stood there, thinking of what he might do to help resolve this problem. Then an idea struck him. "I think I have an idea," he whispered to Aniyu. He started to walk into the water carefully and faced himself in the direction where the river flowed down. Then he stood perfectly still, waiting for the next fish to arrive. "I'm going to try using the tines on my antlers to either stab or scoop up the fish by lowering my head close to the water," he explained to her in hushed tones. "Then, once I catch one, I'll give it you. What do you think about that?"

"Like a bear?" she whispered back. "I wish I could. They have more force behind their shoulders. But I-" she was cut off when she saw the fish move. Without another moment to think, she splashed into the water, snapping her jaws down. The fish took off down stream, unharmed. The wolf came out of the creek, shaking her fur to get rid of the water. Her stomach growled, and she sighed. She had been longing for meet that night, but it would appear that she would have to settle for berries and other fruit... again.
