"A swim...? O-Okay.." She said in a strangely shaky voice, giving Flash a forced smile. In reality, she had never fished before, let alone actually gone to take a swim. But if it was something Flash wanted, then she would go through it, no matter what.
"Uhm...sure, that'd be great!" Malaika continued, pawing cautiously forwards, in the direction of the nearby river. "Have you ever swam before, Flash?"

He shook his head. "Nope not really; though I can run on water...which is quite fun- but other then that; I have no water skills." He grinned sheepishly. "Though I'm sure it's not that hard to learn- they did name a move after dogs, and since Tala are so closely related- we should be able to get the gnack...in a Flash persay." He giggled with amusment at his pun on words.

Malaika chuckled uneasily, repressing a deep shudder at the mere thought of her fur touching the suprisingly crisp, clear water. She took a step forward, towards the stream, then immediately hung back, turning slowly towards Flash once more.
"How about YOU go swimming, and uh...I'll just..watch? I'm kinda..." She paused awkwardly, pawing absently at the ground.
"...scared of water. Not for any real reason, but I just...am.."
Sure, it sounded pathetic, but she had spoken the absolute truth. That's what mattered most in the end, anyways.

He looked at the water, then back at Malaika. He put a paw in rather dantily and shook it off. He couldn't understand how one could stay boyant in such a liquid let alone run over it; like his owner had so many times said he could. Not to look dowright peterified himself he grabbed a stick and quickly formed two rods out of it.
"Lets go swimming later..I'm kinda hungry right now."
He flicked his wrist and the bob sputtered into the water.

"...I didn't know you liked fish, Flash!" Malaika exclaimed with a mild grin, sounding rather relieved that she wouldn't have to jump into the water immediately. She accepted the makeshift fishing rod joyously, turning back towards the water and hastily casting her line. The pink Tala sat down on her back haunches on one of the stream's countless grassy banks, diligently watching as the red and white bob began drifting away with the gentle current.
"This is oddly relaxing, you know?" She asked in a soft tone, her eyes taking a moment away from the rod as they drifted in Flash's direction.

He nodded, it truely was relaxing; and after the day he had, had with his brother. He was kinda glad for it too. "As for the fish M'dear...I eat anything...within respects." He patted his stomach as it gave a low rumble. "I gotta keep a full tank to move as fast as I do...no go-go juice means no Flash." His line jerked violently at the end and Flash realed in the line. As he pulled a large Bas'tard flipped onto the shore and flopped about, he wasn't to keen on killing it, but he was hungry. He supposed he would leave the desision up to Mal. "Should we kill him or throw him back?" His stomach gave another low rumble.

"Ohh...poor fishie..." Malaika muttered softly, turning her complete attention away from the fishing rod and directing it towards the flailing creature. She coughed several times, trying to hide her slight feelings of compassion as she turned over the fish hesitantly with one of her paws.
"You sound like you're about to die of starvation, so uh...go ahead and kill it, okay? I'll just uh...look away." She winced noticibly, withdrawing and shifting her gaze away from the scaled animal.

He nodded and though he wasn't fond of killing it, he gave it a swift and painless death. Then just as quickly skinned it and cleaned it so that it was look more apitizing then like a fish. He then stopped and paused before cooking it over a low burning fire that he had made. "Sushi or cooked?"

"Cooked, please." Malaika replied instantly, her back still turned to both Flash and the now dead fish. She was clearly intent on not looking back until the fish was hardly distinguishable as once being a living creature. She padded over to her own fishing rod, plucking it from the rocks on which it had been propped up, and set it on the grassy earth. Dealing with a fish she hadn't even caught was hard enough.
"...Or...whatever you want, it's YOUR catch, afterall." She added quickly, finding her previous words made her sound slightly selfish.

He nodded. It seamed the catch was big enough to do both, so half the fish he wrapped in freash seaweed and the other he sautied in butter and leamon. Both which he had unoticed had just gotten from the main medow. He then put an assortment onto two plates and passed one over to his love. "Here ya go...hope it's good- I'm not really the best cook." He then looked over to the bones and carcus of the fish and buried them as deep as he could get them; for two reasons. The first was he didn't want to upset poor Malaika and the second was so the bones weren't used as a projectile by his brother later on.

"Thank you very much, Flash!" Malaika said warmly, kissing her hero happily on the cheek before starting ravenously into the plate of food set out before her. She shoved aside her otherwise looming fear at once, finding it was silly for her to be acting to squeamish around what was nothing more than a dead fish.
"This is really great!" She said, taking a quick breath and flashing a reassuring smile at the red pup. "You're so modest! You're a great chef! I'M the one who always burns stuff!"

"You really think so?" He turned a deep red, and bit into the fish on the plate. Within seconds it was completely gone. "Mmm your right that is good." He then started to laugh. "You probally cook much better then me..." He snickered. "I burnt everthing on the fish- It was just luckey that another Tala was selling cooked fish back in the meadow...I really hoped not to serve you what I really cooked...It kinda was like my brothers head; Hard like rawhide...and nothing good left on the inside." He paused. "I wonder if he figured out how to get out of that cave at this point?" He shruged, not really caring either way.

"Probably not..." Malaika replied with a shrug, nudging Flash gently with her nose. "You mean this ISN'T the fish you caught? Come on, you know I'll love your cooking no matter what! I don't care how...uh...cripsy it is! It's something of YOUR creation, and that's all that matters! Besides, no matter how bad your cooking is, mine's probably worse!"
She sweatdropped, straining her neck around in an attempt to find the fish she assumed to have been long-since abandoned.
"..Where is that fish you caught, anyways?" She asked, finding much to her dissapointment she couldn't find the creature anywhere.

He chuckled. "I'll keep that in mind the next time I cook." He shifted his front paw. "I burried it deep in the ground...I really didn't feel like Brother finding it and having it lodged in my skull...He has a thing about doing things like that." He sighed. "And I really didn't want to put you in any danger again..." He sighed looking at the holes in her legs; feeling bad about the last time Bullseye interfered.

By now Bullseye had finally managed to squeeze his way out of the cave...much struggling and whimpering involved of course. The pup didn't go too far. Instead he had curled up under a tree near the cave, and was now just thinking things over...
Defeat didn't sit well with him...and while in the near future he'd probably use the hatred of defeat to just further advance his powers and take down his opponenets...as a pup it just made him rather depressed. So yes...he could have gone ahead and tried to make things worse for Flash and his girl...but at the moment just sitting there curled up was fine by him. He'd have all the time in the world to get back at them....later.
