Hadama did not appear to be in any hurry as he let the line ease back out again. Fishing – at least as humans did it – was not a pastime for the impatient or impulsive. He could hear the human’s movements on the dock, but he didn’t dare take his eyes off his prize as he considered his next steps. ”Immensely,” he rumbled, in a voice as low as distant summer thunder. All of this for one – maybe – fish certainly seemed like an unequal trade.

And I… have been trained as a sea smith,” he said slowly at last.

And then spun quickly, as if whatever snag it had caught on earlier was now free. But still it seemed far too heavy to be empty.
"What food and drink does your bar serve?" A question that was deceptively casual given the avid curiosity hidden behind green eyes.
