Fishing For Adventure

[larkpzanuk]

Jaf gives a slightly worried stare, "Uh, yeah, see?" he smirks a bit before pausing again, "So, do you need help with that big net? I looks pretty hefty." he smiles happily toward her, "Besides, I have nothing to do." He sits down and empties his other boot before slipping them on.

"Well, I can do fine on my own, but if ya'll wanna help that's mighty generous!" She hands the bag over with practiced ease. "I just have to get these lil' fellas to town. They'll make a treat fer anyone who cares fer 'em!" She slid her bandanna on and started to lead the way. "Come on, then!"

[larkpzanuk]

Jaf's knees bend with the sudden weight in his arms. He grunts and winces a bit, "Oof... Do you sell these, right?" He readjusts the net to keep his balance, "WHat kind of stuff do you have in here?"

[necrokat]

"Yup, sell them to the market. It's easier fer people to buy fish that I catch rather than catch 'em themselves." She continues along at a slow bounce. "Well, lemme see here. I caught me some crabs-- just those little ones with the spiny pinchers that get ya in the toes, then I have some fish of the shallow water sort, then I got some of them little eel-like things that come up to the beaches. Not the poisonous sort, but the tasty sort you cook over a fire on a stick. Ya like fish? If I got any surplus, I can let ya keep it." She turns to face him while walking backwards.

[larkpzanuk]

Jaf's expression quickly changes, "Oh, no! Really. I couldn't do that. I mean, you worked hard to catch these fish, and I haven't done anything for you." He readjusts again, trying desperately to keep up with her, "It's okay."

[necrokat]

"'Course ya have!" She giggles. "Gettin' a new friend is as good a gift as it gets! Plus, I caught so many of 'em. I dun want 'em all to go to waste. That and you look a little skinny to me." She slows down and takes an edge of the net. "Is that any better?"

[larkpzanuk]

Jaf nervously smiles, "Yeah, thank you. Well, if you say so. What harm could it do?" he gives a toothy grin as the two continue to walk, "So did you grow up in the Swamps? Or did you move there?" He looks ahead, quickly glancing over to Siba every once in a while.

[necrokat]

"Well, I dunno. I grew up in the swamp, but they say they just found me there. They say they couldn't find my parents." She shrugs nonchalantly and picks a bug out of her net. "What about you?" "I mean, lookit that hair! That style ain't common 'round here. Where'd you grow up?"

[larkpzanuk]

Jaf stops and thinks, "Y'know... It's weired, but I really can't remember where I'm from. I just knows it's far away from here. See, Terris and Lara found me after I fell from the sky..." He started moving again, "I hit my head on a tube of precursor metal, so I've forgotten a lot."

[necrokat]

Siba pauses abruptly, and probably causes Jaf much surprise when the net stops moving. She peers over the mounds of pinchers, shells, and slimy tails with a huge, wonderous grin. "You fell from the sky!? Whew-ee! How high up were ya? I din' know there were that many cliffs ya could up to jump offa!"
