For a moment he tips his head to look up at her, a small pause before he flashes her a grin and hunkers down low, on his belly. Even his ears smooth flat against his head while he watches.
It takes a few moments for the fish to get used to the shadow her wings cast on the water, but they're a little too big for most birds to bother with, so it doesn't take long before they're relaxing and spreading out a little more.
"Easy," Shiro breathes, barely audible above the water. "Wait for it...." A smaller and more foolish fish decides to go investigate the shadowed shallows where the water runs a little slower, eddying against the bank. WHACK!! Shiro's left hand has darted out and snatched the fish, flinging it out of the water and off behind him. Of course without a right arm to help brace himself, it means he almost slips, but that's what being on his belly was for.
thank you for being so patient

"Ha!" he grins, tail flicking triumphantly.
