If I was going to be uptight about something, it couldn't be this, because we have a mission to get back to. I swallow as he calls about something, Backing out as I make my way towards him. Kicking up a little wet and soggy sand in the process.
It was a fish in his bucket. I don't know how he had even managed to catch such a thing, but now I knew they were real. I'd never seen one before now, only heard stories. This is way better than a story. I blink at it a few times. "It's amazing Aeo!" I exclaim quite enthusiastically.
The fear running from it's once overthrown host, I wade back into the water, dipping my bucket in as well, trying for one. I bring it back to shore to examine it, though my teeth hurt a little from carrying the slight bit more heavier load. I see none, dipping it in a again, I give up from the heat and turn to him. "We should get back soon, I couldn't manage to catch one, and I'm getting a bit tired of running around." I say, and I mean it.
"Talk."
