"Always glad to find someone who appreciates café fuerte. As for the fish, they must have known I was coming. I haven't had a bite all morning."

Teemo took a drink of his own coffee and followed the young woman's gaze out into the sky. He wondered if something was troubling her.

"Do you come out by the lake often, Miss?"

"I like the forest at night." She said, a little wistfully. "But it looks like the sun's beat me to it."

She took out a mini sketchpad from her pocket and hurriedly scribbled something. When she was done she closed her eyes, passed her hand over it, and in that hand was suddenly a small, writhing thing, rough around the edges like it had just stepped out of the Take On Me video but perfect for bait. "Here. Maybe this will help."

"It only beat you by a little, but you look like you've been up half the night."

The scout nearly burnt his tongue, caught in awe at the sketchwork worm. "Isn't that amazing?" He seemed to be asking himself more than his guest. "I've never seen anything quite like that before." He slid off his right mitten and took the worm between the two small claws of his thumb and forefinger. He turned his wrist to feel it crawl around on the palm of his paw.

"And here I was going to ask if you spoke to fish." Teemo waddled back to the edge, reeled his line back in with his free hand and went about hooking his new bait.

this face is the best I can do to express how overwhelmed she is by his cuteness

She smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of her head. "Just a project. You know how it gets." Fortunately he was distracted by that demonstration of her power.

"Nope. The best I think I could manage is drawing up one of those singing bass things." Watching him, the words 'my god, adorable' slipped in a quiet whisper from her lips like a powerful prayer. Realizing it, she looked away, embarrassed, hoping she hadn't just put him off by being patronizing.
