As Foxtail looms over the river bank, he hopes for a better day for hunting. His last hunting patrol wasn't so lucky— they ran across a strange bucket, filled to the brim with fresh fish. But as tempting as it might've been to take the fish back to camp, it just.... wasn't safe to do so. It had been too good to be true; fresh fish just waiting for a patrol to stumble upon it. He swears he smelt something off about the fish, who knows maybe it was poison. But whatever it was, it wasn't worth the risk of making clanmates sick. He shakes the thought out of his mind, olive green eyes scanning the flowing river. Today will be better, he knows it for sure! There's no suspicious buckets of fish, no scent of twolegs— a perfect day to be out in the territory!
His eyes widen as a fairly large silhouette moves along with the current. It moves along the river bed and disrupts the silt, obscuring his view. It must be a bottom feeder, maybe a catfish? He thinks to himself, his tail twitching behind him. Catfish can get quite big so it adds up... they can put up quite the fight. Do it, He tells himself as he lets out a nervous exhale, think of how many cats will be fed by this fish alone! With a gulp, Foxtail propels himself into the water, and dives underneath the surface, claws out stretched. He expects a battle when his claws make contact, but it's like this fish is.... lifeless? It doesn't make any reaction to his sharp claws, and it continues to attempt to move along with the current. That can only mean one thing.... This isn't a fish! He thinks bitterly, whatever he sunk his claws into doesn't feel like, and doesn't act like a fish!
Knowing that it can't put up a fight, Foxtail resurfaces and swipes it with his paw, knocking the object out of the water. He pulls himself out of the river as it stumbles on the grass, frowning as his gaze lands on what was in their river. The strange item resembles twoleg hind paws, as if it was meant to be worn by them. ...Though, the item was quite worn out and dirty, falling apart even. "Twoleg j-junk," He frowns with a shake of his head, twolegs can be so careless. This isn't the first time he's swiped twoleg trash out of the river, annoyingly enough. "At least it's n-no longer in the river..."
