There were ripples now around the surface of the water where the fishing string disappeared beneath, and a darkish shape that Kenza could see from her vantage on the dock. The size of a head, or a little bigger, and strangely shaped.
Though that could just be the distortion of the waves as they swept over it.
Hadama teased it closer, his attention split between his prey and his-- waitress? She was certainly doing a good job of selling her bar's wares. Every word she said painted a picture he could almost taste and he took a moment to savor it. And in that moment, her own curiosity brought a twinkle to grin eyes that were so focused on his quarry. "There was a market last season," he rumbled in explanation. "A Deepfrost festival market, near the coast in King's End. I tried a cup of it there." He paused, easing the pressure off the rod again, letting it bob for a moment as if whatever was hooked was surprised at the sudden slack. "It is not a taste we have, undersea." And then a steady twirl of the handle, bringing whatever was on the end of his string within a few feet of the dock.
But back to the important questions. "You can put alcohol in it?" he asked, intrigued.
