"The mighty hunter stalks her prey, watching how it flaps and flutters." Came a whispered voice from in a bush, a pair of large teal eyes peering through the leaves and branches. There was a large fish she had plucked out from the water and dropped on the ground flopping, suffering, trying to get back to the water and finding itself unable to do so.
Sibyl was a mighty hunter on the prowl.
A mighty hunter who was narrating her movements.
"It doesn't seem to know she's there. This gives her the perfect opportunity to strike~."

Kettil was meandering where Sibyl was currently stalking prey and narrating her own awesome hunting skills. His plan for the day was to go fishing, he even had his poles and other gear with him, but instead of going to catch fish he just watched the ghoul.
He was highly amused.
Part of him wanted to walk up and frighten her suddenly but instead he simply watched to see what she would do and if she would succeed. Kettil was quietly rooting for the strange little Selkie.

With a mighty battle cry Sibyl flew out from within the bush and at the fish. The fish flopped, flailed..and ended up back in the water again. Sibyl landed on the bank beside the pond, her arms hanging in the water and swaying in the gentle current. "Aw man!" Sibyl pouted and watched the fish swim off. She'd worked so hard for that!
Maybe another fish would come her way.

"That fish cheated. I demand a rematch!" Kettil suddenly called out with a laugh.
Was he insane? Probably.
He sounded like he was very serious about his comment about the fish. The boil wandered closer to Sibyl with a quiet grin, "You almost had it! I saw the whole thing!"
It wasn't like he had a reason to avoid Sibyl. He thought she was sweet and very fun to talk to and thus ... Here he was.

Kettil's laughter and sudden call startled the selkie, sending her rolling into the water with a loud splash from her resulting jump. She splashed and flailed until she was able to sit up again, looking up to find the boil standing not too far off. Oh! Kettil! When had he gotten here? She grinned, raising an arm to wave to her friend. "HI KETTIL HI KETTIL HI~!"
She did almost have it! Sigh. Next time. "I'll find another one and then I'll win!" Sibyl announced with confidence as she stood, climbing out of the water and shaking water from her boots. She hurried over to Kettil to give him a hug. Hugs are a requirement.

"HI SIBYL HIII!" Kettil laughed, he wasn't concerned that she just jumped and splashed about in the water like that. After all she was supposed to be a water-critter, right?
The boil nodded in agreement, "You will win!"
She hurried over to him for a hug, even though she was wet. Most would shy away but not Kettil. As soon as she was within distance he caught her up and picked her up in a big hug.

As she was picked up she squealed and clung to the boil, giggling with delight. She nuzzled her face against the boil's cheek before finally wiggling free and settling on her own two feet. It was after that she spotted the fishing poles, blinking and carefully taking one. "Did you come to fish, too?"

He laughed with her and let her nuzzle his cheek. Kettil was happy to let her go and get back on to her own two feet.
"Yeah! I love t'fish. I see you do some fishin' too, eh?" Kettil asked cheerfully. This was actually neat! Learning more about the small ghoul he'd met at Xiu's baking booth.

"Yeah, but I don't use poles or anything. I catch 'em myself." Sibyl opened her mouth wide and made an exaggerated chomping motion. As a ghoul her teeth were perfectly normal, but as a seal they were large and quite sharp. Very good for catching and tearing.

"Ohhh. Hey. I wouldn't mind seein' that in action!" Kettil said cheerfully, truly he appreciated all the different techniques!
Kettil let out a thoughtful hum, "Sometimes I sharpen a big stick into a point, like a spear! I catch fish with that."

"A boil back home tried to teach me how to use a spear to fish, but I'm not very good at it." She shrugged. "I wanna see you do it!" Preferably before she got in the water.
No accidents. None.

Kettil grinned widely. A chance to show off? Sign him up! The boil glanced around thoughtfully, "You show me your technique and I show you mine, sound good?"
"...Help me find a good stick and a rock to use to help sharpen the top of it." Kettil seemed very excited to show off for Sibyl.

"YES SIR!" Sibyl ran off them to find these items, tripping and falling into the bush she had been in.
Good news: She tripped on a rock and broke a branch off the bush because of her fall.
Sibyl did it on purpose.

Kettil paused his search to watch Sibyl. He wasn't sure if he should be concerned or impressed by her prowess because she found not just a good stick to make into a spear but a nice rock to use as well.
He settled for helping her up and making sure she was alright, "First day new feet, Sibby?"
First he would make sure the ghoul was okay and then he would shower her with praise. That was the proper order of things, yes.

Sibyl rolled out of the bush, stick in hand, and grabbed the rock. They were held triumphantly over her head. "Nope! Did it on purpose!" Liar.
"I'm a master hunter, after all." Sibyl added proudly as she stood up and offered up the stick and rock. "Are these okay?"
