Congrats indeed. Whats a treat to see.
"It's cute." She said, perking up when she thought she saw her line move, then sighing when it resettled. "You looked happy from what I could see. You deserve it."

Night Sky opened her mouth to reply, but stopped as he spoke again.
She nearly dropped her rod off the boat when she barked out a laugh. "Hahaha! Sorry!" She lowered her voice. "Sorry. I'm going to scare the damn fish if you crack more jokes like that."

Her laughing like that is a small thrill to him. Okay, a big thrill, though he tries not to show his excitement. He can't remember the last time anyone laughed at a joke he made, let alone one as dumb as that one. The only person who ever really humored him like that was Annie.
He may be in love with this woman.
"I don't mind catching nothing if it means hearing you laugh all day."

Night Sky wiped a tear from her eye, those last little giggles escaping before she took a breath and calmed herself.
Color crept across her cheeks, and she figured she could blame it on how hard she was laughing and not the fact that that was one of the sweetest things anyone said to her.
"As sweet as that is, we need to catch some fish for dinner! I don't want to go hunting tonight and take time from our camping."

He keeps glancing between Sky and his line with a sly smile, but at her comment, he begins to focus more on actually fishing. Up until now, he's been mostly just relaxing on the water and hoping something will bite.
"There's a bit of a technique to it. The lure is meant to look like a fish, and fish move. So you need to move your-- rod and pull in your line in such a way that it looks like a fish swimming."
He demonstrates, alternating between pulling up a bit on the rod, and reeling the line in just a little at a time.

She grinned when he said rod. Because of course she did. But she also took the instructions to heart and started gently moving her rod and reeling slowly.
"A lot more fun fishing with you than it ever was back home."

"Is it because I'm so sexy?"
He jokes. Sure enough, the technique or maybe the new elevation of the lure finds him a bite. The line tugs, and he feels a rush of excitement, instantly reeling in as fast and hard as he can with his stupid prosthetic. He's not practiced with using it for this, so it's pretty jerky.
"Here- reel!"
He hands the rod over to her, taking hers with his other hand. She'll probably do a better job of this part so they can actually have dinner, plus he wants her to have the accomplishment of the first catch.

"It definitely helps." Beats staring at nothing otherwise. Although Finnick and his sexiness was a terrible distraction while fishing.
Night Sky would have been perfectly content not having the rod shoved at her so suddenly, but even while briefly panicked, she managed the hand-off and turned, reeling in as fast as she could and with all the strength she had in her.
A few things happened in the next few seconds. First, the rather large bass on the end of the line rose up from the water as Night Sky pulled it up. Then, there was a loud yelp, a splash, and a moment where the boat might have flipped entirely before it settled, revealing a flopping fish on the floor of the planks, and Night Sky nowhere to be seen.

[He threads his fingers through his bangs again, pushing them back from his face. So cute when he blushes!!!!!]
Come see my room.
[He takes Dolph by the hand and leads him through the castle.]
And you better not leave Somnius. Or I'll find you and kick your ass.
[As if he could beat Dolph in a fight. L O L.]

[ dolph takes it in, curiously. these kinds of places are always fascinating to him. bedrooms, houses, homes . . . he has no experience in living in one. his own house has a few bits and ends but . . . they were things given to him by others. ]
It's nice.
[ he sits down next to finnick. ]
Are you planning on getting anything else for it?

Well, this thing--
[He points at a suncatcher sort of like this, made from seaglass and shells tied together and hanging from a piece of driftwood, in his window.]
I actually started making one of these in my last world, before I lost my arm. But when I lost it, I couldn't tie knots anymore... Which doesn't sound like a big deal, but it was for me. So it went unfinished... But when I finally got my prosthetic and learned to use it, I started making a new one-- actually I made two- I gave one to Sky for her birthday. So... Seeing it makes me happy, I guess.
[He shrugs. What a ramble.]
