"Thank you! I wish you luck, too." Then she turned towards the fish, eager to see what it would be like to catch them with such a small net as opposed to physically chasing them in the water. It was such a surreal moment, to be the one holding a net to catch fish. If anything, she could at least imagine being on the other end to be caught. It was a strange but exciting first to be in this position.
So, readying her net, she observed the fish intently and... pouted.
"H-Hey..." She stifled a giggle. "I-If you don't move, the game won't be fun!"
Indeed, the fish in front of her were hardly moving at all, defiantly trying to remain still in order to be captured. Admittedly, they all wanted to go home with her, but she wouldn't have that. It simply wouldn't be fair to all the other people who may come here in hopes of bringing one of these darlings home. She tried to think of what to do in order to get them to move and allow Cress and her to play the game fairly (though, to be truthful, she would have liked to take them all to the lake anyway).
"Let's see.... You know, I really like it when I see fish swimming happily, but I guess none of you are like that...? Won't you show some of that happiness for me? I may just have to go elsewhere if-"
They all started swimming. Rather enthusiastically, too, to which Chiyo had to bite back her laugh.
Let the game commence.
And, might I add, she was rather good at considering she was an inhabitant of the water herself and was very much familiar with the movements of fish. She scooped them with ease, giggling as she did so.
