Like this? Alinta queried before she shoved her entire head into the river, moving it about a bit and snapping at passing fish. A moment later, her dripping wet head came back out, empty-jawed. Maybe not.
Thrynor sighed. When he had agreed to take his bonded's sister's young wyrm out for a fishing lesson, he had not realized Alinta was not yet fully coordinated. Still in that gawky adolescent stage in which every race of creature was fully uncapable of well-coordinated movement, Alinta was definitely more than a little clumsy in her efforts to catch fish. At least she was a halfway decent flier. He had to give her that.
No, Alinta. It has to be quick. You wait with your head out and then snap it down to grab one particular fish. It's all timing. the fire-wind wyrm said patiently to his tutee, extending his neck out over the water. See? I'm going to snatch that floating bit of plantlife as it moves down the river. Watch.... he said, waiting until the bit of plant was within range before he struck. When his dripping feathery head emerged, the large clump of rivergrass was firmly clenched in his jaws. See? Not hard!
She had it easy. As half-fire by heritage, Thrynor had been terrified of the water until he had learned how tasty fish could be. He had worked hard to overcome that fear and could now have half his body in the water for short amounts of time without succumbing to the wyrm version of a panic attack. Lucky Alinta was a light wyrm, and a fearless one at that.

Anemone yawned as they were reaching the river. She was out there with Amaya to get taught how to catch fish. She groaned and stopped moving forward. This is ridiculous. Zephyros and you both know how to fish so why do I have to?
Amaya nudged her. Of course you have to. What happens if you get lost from us and you couldn't catch any prey? Anemone shrugged and sighed. I still think it's stupid... She started moving again before the older wyrm nudged her again.
As they came across the river the yearling spotted other wyrms. She almost stopped moving since technically they both were opposite of her.
Amaya looked over at Thrynor and smiled a bit, then looked back at the younger wyrm and nuded her into the water. Okay Anemone try and catch at least one fish. She mumbled and stuck her head in the water after a few seconds trying to grab the fish but she pulled her head out with nothing. Gah! Stupid fish! She wipped a wing at the water a floated out and onto a tree. Amaya shook her head, dissapointed at Ane's impatience.
