Mhm. Octopus. I originally thought he was an evil santa that enslaved children and little elves to do his bidding -- forced labor and torture -- but now I know it's just an octopus.
[This right here is exactly what he's been needing for so long. Already he can feel the tension and stress begin to dissipate. She may be naive, but there are times where she knows just what to do.
After a few mores casts Kevas finally feels something bite.]
[There's no tension as he reels the fish in. His body remains relaxed and it's almost like he's moving with the fish.
Closer and closer it comes until finally Kevas pulls back on his fishing pole, jerking the fish out of the water. As it comes down Kevas snatches it out of the air before looking at Rapunzel and grinning.]
[BECAUSE YOU WERE WAGGING YOUR PEEPEE ON A PUBLIC CHANNEL.]
...Um...no. I -- didn't...cook it much. Mo-- Gothel did that. [She can bake bread, make the best Hazelnut soup you ever tasted, pastries galore, and even a few other tasty vegetarian dishes, but...
Mother handled the meat. Too many questions came when she was young about where it came from, especially fish.]
[MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T RECORD YOURSELF LIKE A BAD PORNO]
Great!
[She's much more focused now, watching her line like a hawk and having to change her bait twice before she actually snags anything. It's not as big as Kevas's (har har), but it'll do.]
Great. [She mostly gets the poles situated, because Kevas will inevitably get them to the shore faster. She has a lot of upper body strength, but it just can't compete with her adopted daddy. No way.]
You'll have to show me how to cook them. [And clean them. Wont that be fun.]
[BUT HOW ELSE WILL SHE LEARN ALL THE BEST POSITIONS]
First t'ing be first. We gotta get da bits we don't want out.
[Once they hit the shore, Kevas takes the fish and the poles and heads up the bank a bit before pulling out his skinning knife. It's blunt like everything else, but with his expert skill he opens the bigger fish up without causing much of a mess.]

After a few mores casts Kevas finally feels something bite.]

no subject

FFFFFF THOUGHT I TAGGED THIS

no subject

[She brightens at that, and turns her attention back to her pole. Maybe she'd get a bite -- she'd like to learn how to cook a fish.]
no subject
Really really.
[He smirks and casts out his line again but he pays more attention to Rapunzel's line than his own, occasionally giving her tips now and then.]
no subject
Great!
[She's much more focused now, watching her line like a hawk and having to change her bait twice before she actually snags anything. It's not as big as Kevas's (har har), but it'll do.]

[Kevas grabs the oars and begins rowing back to shore.]
no subject
Great. [She mostly gets the poles situated, because Kevas will inevitably get them to the shore faster. She has a lot of upper body strength, but it just can't compete with her adopted daddy. No way.]
You'll have to show me how to cook them. [And clean them. Wont that be fun.]
