"I didn't know you liked fishing." Tiyanat commented as she watched me look around a shop for it.
"No, you just saw me enjoy the fish." I joke as I tested the string on a rod. It didn't really matter as I could always infuse magic into it. But, it was still a nice ritual to partake in before buying one. I haven't fished for a long time, though.
I used to do it a lot when I first left for this land. When my mind was full of uncertainty and worry. It helped me focus that negativity elsewhere. And, maybe I could help Nin do the same.
Shopping for a rod that would work for him, however, was tricky. His hands were not like mine in the slightest. Where dexterity existed for me, only cumbersome did for him. So maybe a spear was better...?
Or, maybe, we could try fishing at a river using gloves! Grabbing the fish as they hopped out the water! It would be entertaining as well as relaxing! It also came with a high chance of jokes in general.
Obviously, none of these gripping gloves would fit him, so we'd have to break them. Or, I could buy a pair for myself and have Einervaene use her talents to make some? At least, that was the plan at first. Because by sheer coincidence did I see her in the distance crying on her own.
"Can you speak to her? I'll go speak to Nin." I ask Tiyanat before I most likely correctly assumed Nin's part in this. Einervaene was never the kind to bawl like that because of someone else. She took what he had to say very seriously. So, it must've been him.
I could be blunt about it... But, maybe I just needed to take him fishing to ease the tension first? I think that would be best. It would also help me too, because I missed my friend so very much.
She was after all the one who made me quit fishing as a way to relieve my worries... Because she was there to keep them all away after we became friends. Her smile and laughter, I missed them both. And, so, deprived of that, I turned to fishing once more...
"I suppose I'll have to make a case to someone..." I then comment with uncertainty.
