Ken'ichi heard the little tales Koda didn't mind sharing with him, much to his brother's dismay. Little interest in hearing them, despite how amusing they may seem. But one thing's for certain, if these bears are trustworthy, is that there might be enough food here for everyone. A bit curious, after living in the wild with many bears fighting for food, to find a place where they share food. Being new to the Salmon Run, Ken'ichi has no choice but to take their word for it.
Scratching the back of his head the young cub tries his best to appreciate the welcome. "Uuh, yeah, thanks. I'll make sure to give you space to feed too."
As he turned to face the bears he noticed something bothering Dash. Narrowing his eyes a bit and arching en eyebrow he studied the cub's expression and stance before inquiring. "You OK?" He tried to sound polite.

Dash who was still sitting there trying not to take offense quickly shook it off as Ken'ichi asked if he was ok. He thought he was better at hiding his facial expressions then that. "Me? Oh, Yeah don't worry Ken'ichi I am fine" Dash said .
Dash turned to Koda and laughed to himself . This cub sure had a lot of interesting stories and tidbits to say especially about his own life or Kenai
Dash wondered how he'd look when they asked him to fish with them. If Ken'ichi could see right through his facial expressions before what would they say when they find out that he can't even fish. Dash had tried to teach himself to do it countless times but could never really seem to ever get it right. And of course he could have never counted on his parents to show him.
Heaven forbid, they ever teach him to do something like that. "Easy Dash you're gonna be found out sooner rather then later if you don't watch out" Dash's head told him..

Koda's stomach grumbled and he hopped down from Kenai's back. "Y'know, maybe it's time we stopped talking about fishing and actually did it! I'm starving!" With that he jumped into the water and came back out with a salmon in what seemed like less than a second to the cub.

Dash gave a very noticible scared/nervous smile as Koda mentined doing some fishing. Dash looked down at his paws nervously almost trying to think of something to say so it didn't seem so obvious. When he couldn't think of anything he became even more noticibly nervous. "I got... I go..... I gotta go. " Dash said nervously running off almost tripping over a small root growing out of the ground in the process. Dash didn't know where he was going and what he was doing. But the other cubs couldn't find out about that he couldn't fish.
Ken'ichi and especially Koda would never let him past that . He'd be the laughing stock of the whole salmon run. And look where he was now running away like he was the biggest coward in the world.
Dash sat by himself once he had run a distance away. "Well Dash there goes any chance of you ever making friends here" He says softly to himself.

When Ken'ichi turns toward the others, Kenai notices his scar. Not wanting to be caught staring, he looks away quickly -- probably too quickly, which sort of defeats the purpose. Kenai's not great with subtlety.
He's rather relieved when Koda changes the subject, even though it means the time for humiliation is near. "You know, I was just gonna say that..."
But before Kenai has a chance to make a fool of himself -- even before he has time to work up some proper envy for Koda's skillful catch -- Dash excuses himself hastily and runs off. Kenai stares after him, his mouth slightly open.
"Oo...kay."

You could say Ken'ichi's prayers were answered when Koda finally stopped the talking for some fishing. It sounded good for the black cub, now he'll be able to fill his belly and move on. Hmmm, perhaps he should consider staying a while to relax. It's been a while since the black cub relaxed, much less being with other cubs of his age.
Before he could take a step to the river, Dash suddenly broke away from the group. Well ain't that just dandy. He's being coaxed into getting close to them, trying to make him feel welcomed, only to have one of them bail.
"What's the matter with him?" Ken'ichi inquired with one eyebrow arched. If they think he's going after him, they can think again...

"Uhhh..." Koda, for once, is at a loss of words. "I dunno, all I said was fish..." Confused, but hungry, Koda is torn between his stomach and his worry. His stomach wins him over, after having traveled all that way with no food. "...but I think we should should get something to eat first. I don't think I'll be able to chase after him on an empty stomach! He's probably on the other side of the run by now." He says, confused and awaits his big brother reaction.

Dash was at the other side of the run. Wondering what to do on the one hand He didn't want his friends to be mean to him and tease him for not being able to fish. I mean come on fishing is one of those things a bear learns first and he couldn't even do that correctly. But he knew he should go back Koda and the others would be mighty suspicious if he didn't and these guys were the first friends he had ever met.
"Maybe it won't be as bad as I think it will be. Maybe they won't even care. You have gone through worse things before. You can't spend the rest of your life hiding just because they say the word "Fish". I gotta go back." Dash's head tells him.

OOC: Dash, from our characters' perspectives, you ran away only seconds ago. If you really ran all the way to the other side of the run and then came back, then either you're not back yet, or several minutes have passed in which we did nothing. c.c

"Yeah..." Kenai trails off uncertainly. He's inclined to agree with Koda; yet, despite his hunger, he hesitates. Concern for the kid nags at him, aided by curiosity. In the end, his own dread of trying to catch a fish proves to be the tiebreaker, and hunger is put aside once again. He sighs.
"Go ahead and eat; you've already caught one. I'm going to look around, but just nearby. I'm not crossing the whole river..."
He starts walking in the direction Dash ran, looking put-upon, as if he'd been begged to go rather than taking it upon himself.

He narrowed his eyes a bit, half-expecting to be dragged with them to go after the cub. He came here for food, not to go after runaway cubs. Whatever the reason he ran away, he can sort things out for himself.
As luck would have it, Kenai went on after the cub, leaving him behind to treat himself for food. Koda didn't seem to have any objections, at least.
"Suit yourself." Ken'ichi commented as Kenai walked away, going after Dash no doubt. He can worry about the cub while he minds his own business catching some food.
Ken'ichi stepped forward into the water and looked down, expecting Salmon to swim around his paws any moment now. Luckily for him one came around not soon after, a perfectly sized one at that. Mouth watering from the starvation he's feeling Ken'ichi swiftly dunks his head into the water, quickly emerging with a flopping salmon in his mouth. Not a bad taste there...

"Ok...hurry back though, Kenai! I wouldn't want you to starve to death!" Koda giggles again to Kenai's back. "See you in a few minutes!" With that said, he digs into his salmon, sating his hunger. As his hunger slowly goes away he starts looking curiously over at the black cub eating his own salmon and notices his scar. He stares at it for several seconds, not thinking that it might offend some bears.
"Hey..." He finally asks, gulping down a bite of salmon. "How'd you get that scar?" He asks curiously, pointing at it with a claw.

Dash who had been wandering trying to find the way back for quite some time now. He knew he had to find them soon. It was rude for him to just leave no matter what they would have said about his little secret.
"I shouldn't have walked off there my friends they would have understood" Dash kept repeating to himself over and over and over. But, When he had run off hew wasn't thinking for so long he didn't know how close he was to them or even if he was close enough to them. He had been walking for quite some time so he must have at least been closer then he was before.
"I got to find them so I can apoligise" Dash said to himself.

"Ah...!" He froze mid-way into taking another bite out of his salmon, a pair of ears twitching hearing upon Koda's question. Something he never thought he'd have to answer to. Of all the things this cub could've asked him, it just had to be about that.
"My scar...?" Ken'ichi slowly raised his head and looked at Koda, his eyes a bit narrowed. He should've expected a curious cub to ask him about it sooner or later. The scar that runs down the right side of my face...
"I fell." He answered with a slight scoff as he turned his head away slightly. Liar.
