Oh! Hello, Seteth.

Hello, Leonie. I imagine you are here to fish?
link
Leonie

Yeah, this is a great spot for it. You must be a pretty experienced fisherman, huh?
link
Seteth

Actually, while I have enjoyed the hobby for a long while, I must admit I am less than proficient.
link
Leonie

Now that you mention it, I can see you're not having much luck today.
link
Seteth
volume_up

It is likely because I am not using any bait.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Well, that explains it! But why bother fishing at all, if you're not even trying to catch something?
link
Seteth
volume_up

Truthfully, I fish only so that I might relax. It is soothing to me, to cast the line and watch the water ripple...
link
Seteth
volume_up

My days are busy, even hectic. It helps to find peace and quiet every so often.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Oh, that makes sense. Still, if you're going to go to all the trouble, you may as well actually bait the line.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Maybe so. But, to my chagrin, I do not even know what type of bait to use.
link
Seteth

I learned to fish by accompanying my wife. She was always the one to bait the hooks.
link
Seteth
volume_up

She would hand me the rod, and I would cast my line. I never paid attention to how the rest was done.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Ah. And your wife, where is she now?
link
Seteth
volume_up

She passed away, quite some time ago. Since then, I have only to fish on my own.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Even so, I...I find peace out here. Bait or no bait. And what about you? Why do you fish?
link
Leonie
volume_up

Me? Just for the fish, actually.
link
Leonie
volume_up

For me it's purely practical. Catch a bite now, one less meal to worry about later.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Hunting, fishing...whatever it takes to get by. That's how I've always done it.
link
Leonie
volume_up

I'm not exactly starving right now, but back then, if I couldn't catch something, I'd go hungry. So getting the hang of it was pretty vital.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I would certainly say so.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I imagine it is intensely satisfying to catch a fish when the need is so great.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Probably, yeah. The need makes it more purposeful.
link
Leonie
volume_up

But hey, if you ever want to try fishing for real, I'd be happy to share my bait with you.
link
Leonie
volume_up

And if you catch something, I'll cook it up nicely for you. How's that for motivation?
link
Seteth
volume_up

Oh? Are you a skilled chef also?
link
Leonie
volume_up

Can't promise it'll be fancy, but it'll taste good.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Impressive. Wouldn't you know it, I am suddenly overcome with the urge to excel.
link
Leonie

Great! Let's get started!
