I just finished. From here I can show you how to assemble everything.

[He shows her the strips of bark.]

You can make rope out of a lot of things, like bark, fibers from long leaves and reeds. And if you need to tie them together, there's a knot you can use that will secure them better. I'll show you.

Pay close attention.

[And with a light smile, Eustace proceeds to show Tifa first how he made the hooks and then how to tie and strengthen the makeshift line around the reed and then the wooden hooks. He'll even explain how it works and answer whatever questions she has, including anything on how or where he learned to do all this. The most important piece of story would be how his father taught him everything.

Once assembled, he shows her how to bait the hooks with some clam meat, and then just drop the line into the pond. With that set...]


Now we wait and try not to make too much noise. We could when set the poles to stand on their own if you don't want to hold onto it the whole time.

[Making sure everything is still set and secure, he looks at her curiously.]

There are many different ways depending on the location and the fish, but what did you have to do?

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2025-05-22 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[A low hum of understanding.]

With this type of poles, you wouldn't be able to deal with that kind of fish as well. Here, the moment you feel and see the fish on the line, you have swing the pole back hard like this—

[He demonstrates and the line will fly out of the water back towards them and away as he swings it to the side.]

—and depending on the size, you can just hold it up or try to land the fish on the ground. The bass I saw were small enough for this type of fishing to handle, but I also saw some small trout, too. We should be able to catch a few, regardless.

[Setting the bait back in, he nods.]

That's it. If we had nets or a bucket it would be easier, but we can make do with what we have.

[There's just a small laugh.]

Guess we'll see if I'm lucky or not.

[Although as he speaks, he feels a tug on his line and with a glance at her he quickly pulls back on the rod to reveal...!

A small fish.]


Got one bite, anyway.

[Too small to really keep, he'll carefully free it and toss it back into the water where it swims away and he resets his bait.]
flamekthunder: (ÏŸ 033)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2025-05-23 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Not really big enough to be cooked, so it's better to release it so it can grow, either to become food for another animal or breed to keep the population healthy.
flamekthunder: (ÏŸ 113)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2025-05-23 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[A quiet laugh as he watches her line.]

Now we have to wait and see if we can test what you learned... And you might have some luck.

[They can see a fish gathering around the bait again, and there might a few tugs on Tifa's.]

You have to wait until it's really on the hook before you pull...
flamekthunder: (ÏŸ 082)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2025-05-23 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Bite and a hard tug. That's when you'll know it's on the hook.
flamekthunder: (ÏŸ 113)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2025-05-23 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Pull it up, quick, before it breaks off!

[He'll wait to see if she'll need help, but he thinks she can do it...!]
flamekthunder: (ÏŸ 128)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2025-05-23 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He was about to step in to help her pull up the rod, and... Maybe he should have given how it and the fish fly over their heads behind them. The rabbits that had come over to watch scatter and he just looks at her in some surprise.]

That's... One way.

[But then he looks at the fish flopping around and grins.]

But congratulations on your first catch.
flamekthunder: (ÏŸ 113)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2025-05-23 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[He laughs quietly at her as he looks at the chaos of everything.]

Not exactly, but you did get the fish out and that's what matters.

[And soon it will be his turn to feel a tug on a line.]

Let's see if I have better luck this time.

If you can grab it, otherwise not much else we can do it now.

[He says while pulling at the rod...]

Stand back!

[And there won't be much more warning than that before he has fling up the rod. He won't lose it like Tifa, but a fish about the same size as hers is flapping wildly on the hook, and he's quickly grabbing the line to pull the fish in while stepping back..]
