The Stonesong ran cold in Flowerbirth.
Cold enough that Jigano didn't want to jump into it in his fox form quite yet, though once Longheat came around he'd probably be glad for a cool swim.
For that reason he was standing on the bank with a rod made from a recently grown sapling and a string made from braided plant fibers and...
And that was where it kind of fell apart, because he didn't have a hook on him.
So instead he was prowling the edge of the water, blue eyes sharply focused on the quiet flow of the stream beyond, keeping an eye out for both shiny stones and shiny fish in the waves as his magic hummed and thrummed within him.
Isuma perched on a rock nearby, sunning herself in the clear, bright early afternoon light and encouraging her companion with helpful chirrups as she spotted for him further out into the river's flow. If they could catch a fish or three they'd have dinner for themselves and the scales could be turned to the gift he'd been tasked with making. Better still if they could find some of the pretty colored stones to work into the design! But food came first, and Jigano was too intent on his hunt to realize that he had company approaching.
