When Tanteri had first discovered his super senses, Hush had been very concerned, since the flying dinosaur had been hiding his head beneath his wings, trembling and shrieking at his own new predicament. Hush wanted to say that, since then, Tanteri had gotten used to the new powers fairly quickly, but that didn't seem to be the case. The few times where Hush had actually been able to see the pterosaur flying around up in the sky, he had always seen an almost identical from time to time look of disgust at the abilities that his new powers presented to him. Hushsound had wished, silently – as he did most things – that he could somehow help the other male, but the small feline had no powers of his own to have any sort of reference from, and he certainly didn't have super senses, so he had no idea what to do in order to assist. So, for a while he had just watched from afar, encouraging the other male silently and hoping that he would adjust eventually and quickly, since he could practically feel the annoyance dripping off of the dinosaur in waves whenever he took the time to land. Thankfully, it seemed as though Tanteri had finally found an actual use for one of his several greatly improved senses – one that actually benefitted him, rather than making him want to claw out his own eyes so that he didn't have to be so intimate with every single detail of the world around him.

The tom had been sitting in the sand near the edge of the water when Tanteri discovered his new ability for fishing, and Hush became painfully aware of Tanteri's excitement when he was splashed with an enormous wave of water. Tanteri had grasped up several fish in his beak before he went speeding towards their main camp area, rushing past Hush so fast that the young warrior had been bombarded by all of the water that had clung to the flying dinosaur as he sped over the water. Hush sputtered for a moment, his ears flattening down against his head as he shook the water from his fur, before he glanced after Tanteri, wondering what he made him so excited. He didn't want to interrupt whatever Tanteri had going on, but he did find himself growing curious, and he moved towards their main little area, moving past the tavern and toward their food stores, but Tanteri was already off again, speeding back towards the water. A sigh left Hush for a moment, before he was startled when Tanteri came rushing back, depositing another large amount of aquatic creatures ripped from their home. Hush felt his nose wrinkle a bit at the unpleasant smell of the fish, but his stomach also gave a soft growl, delighted at the idea of having something a bit different for lunch – he wasn't the greatest fisher, so he didn't have the delicacy very often. Intent on taking his chance before Tanteri came back in another whirlwind of excitement, Hush quickly nabbed a fish and moved to begin crushing it in his jaws, taking large bites as he settled nearby, just sort of... watching as Tanteri repeated the task over and over again. Deep down, Hush knew that they didn't need nearly that much fish, but he didn't want to interrupt or upset the other.

When Tanteri finally landed, panting from the sheer exhaustion of what he had just done, Hush had already been done with his meal for several minutes, and he got up to his paws once he had buried the fish bones beneath the sand, just so they wouldn't add to the incredibly overwhelming fishy scent that already permeated the air. Trotting over to where Tanteri was, happily clicking his beaks and shifting around excitedly over what he had just accomplished. Settling down in front of the other, the Hero of the Wild wrapped his tail around his paws, his sword making a soft clanging noise as it fell against his hip. He hesitated for a moment before questioning softly in his raspy voice, his head tilting to one side curiously as he looked between Tanteri and the large pile of fish that the other had acquired, "Tanteri... you do know that we don't need this much fish, right? I'm sure people will be very appreciative for now, but I don't think we can eat enough for at least some of it to not rot..." He didn't sound upset, just vaguely worried, not wanting the entire group to be subjected to the scent of a huge pile of rotted fish, their flesh falling apart as time went on.
