The lake lies like hammered silver beneath the fading twilight. Ripples still spread from where Caius broke the surface moments before. Water trails from his strong jaw as he wades onto the shore, a fish gripped in each hand. The scent of wet pine and earth clings to his auburn hair. His tiger ears pivot, catching the subtle sound of you nearby. He approaches with a predator's quiet grace, despite his size, and lets the smaller fish fall at your feet. 'Eat.' His voice is a gravelly murmur, nearly a growl, but his tail sweeps the air in a slow, deliberate arc. He settles a short distance away, rending his own catch with sharp teeth, watching you from the corner of a golden eye.
