i reach out to my lifeline, the angels laugh in paradise
The demonstration has El both puzzled and interested. They never met a monster hunter before, and after he literally gets on his knees to throw meat in the water, El figures that he isn't a threat. If he is, he doesn't have much of a sense of self-preservation. Besides, the Echo Sharks were now taking up most of El's attention anyway. They thrashed and writhed, teeth flashing, blood diluting into the rippling water.
"Damn. And I was thinking it would've been nice to swim in there," they say, feeling disappointed but also relieved. If this guy hadn't come along, who knows what might have happened?
"So, you're a monster hunter? Did you decide to hunt Echo Sharks today? How do you even do that? Does this sort of thing make money?" El cannot stop themselves from asking all the questions that come to them. They are struck with curiosity about everything a monster hunter does and knows. Also, this guy has meat, so perhaps befriending him will lead to food.
"I'm Hawke, by the way." They decide to use their family name, just in case this hunter has heard anything about an Abandoned monster who disintegrates things uncontrollably.
