It was even easier to carry fish with a whole lower body to balance on! Eela was smiling as she headed for her first destination; the Meowler pens. She had taken up fishing purely when it would benefit others. She couldn't quite validate fishing for the fun of it, or even fishing to eat herself. For the Meowlers, though, it was a requirement. Eela had grown very fond of the species, and it could't be easy to care for so many!
Eela had brought along 16 Ichorfish for the benefit of the furry beasts. Her last two fishing ventures had proven to her that they were perhaps the most common of the fish. The Meowlers seemed to like them, so that was enough reason for her. Besides, it stood to reason that a fish with legs had a bit more meat than a fish that was just... a fish.
This time, the long-legged lavender blobling asked permission to help in the preparation of the fish. It would be disgusting work, but it only seemed proper to offer the Ichorfish such respect. It ended up being even a little bit enjoyable, when Eela had gotten over the moral horror of it all. Themis required order, with everything in its place. Fish were meant to feed Meowlers. It was how things were meant to be.
It was worth the dirty work to see the Meowlers cooing and purring with delight at the sight of their meal. Surely they must get tired of eating the same fish mush every day? Or maybe they were just happy to be fed. Not many creatures she had met on Terrea seemed to need to eat. That was just yet another way in which Meowlers were so special. Eela was very happy with her Twilly, of course, but maybe someday it wouldn't hurt to adopt another.
