Part 2
Charon: So why fishing? Seems like you do quite a bit of it whenever I see you around.
Sabbath: Something low stress to do on your own. You know how it is.
Sabbath: Not much of a people person.
Sabbath: You’re a bit of the same some days too yeah?
Charon: What do you mean?
Sabbath: I see your work bench, you tinker quite a bit.
Sabbath: Not a bad thing, nerd hobbies are valid.
Charon: Fishing’s not a nerd hobby?
Sabbath: It’s a dad hobby.
Charon: Don’t really look like a dad as far as I can tell.
Sabbath: The fish are my children.
Charon: Don’t you eat them?
Sabbath: What’s your point?
Charon:... I’ll move on.
Sabbath: Hehe…
Charon: So are we cousins or…
Sabbath: Officially? Not settled on a term.
Sabbath: I guess your Uncle maybe?
Charon: You do call Erica your mother..
Sabbath: She’s a lot of people’s mom whether she thinks of it that way or not.
Sabbath: She used to be a lot harder as a parent though. Made me want to tear out my hair sometimes.
Sabbath: Think her own parents were way worse to her, so she wanted to make me tougher at first.
Sabbath: But… that’s a long time ago I guess.
Sabbath: She’s eased up, maybe she likes rabbits or something.
Charon: I mean… Geezer.
Sabbath: Yeah exactly.
Sabbath: I wish rabbits were real.
Charon:... But they are.
Sabbath: Sounds fake. I’m a sword.
Charon:.. I suppose that’s true.
Charon: I’m a bit of a expert on arms myself, so I am curious about that aspect.
Sabbath: Don’t make it weird dude.
Charon: Is it a sore subject or-
Sabbath: I don’t ask you about how pink your kidneys are or how laying eggs went so I don’t want to hear it.
Charon:... I don’t lay eggs.
Sabbath: You will, eventually.
Charon: I’m a mammal.
Sabbath: Not really. Fiends die in the cold and can all lay eggs. Just because Erica forgot to give you the talk doesn’t mean you’re immune.
Charon: I’m going to have to ask her about this later….
Sabbath: No kidding. Bet she never mentioned the two other puberty cycles.
Charon:.. I’m going to ignore that.
Sabbath digs into their bag and pulls out a sandwich in a ziplock.
Sabbath: Almost forgot, promised you one of these.
You take the bag in hand and give the sandwich a good look through the clear plastic.
Charon: Banana?
Sabbath: Grilled PB and Banana, never had?
Charon: Not at all.
Sabbath: It’s a bit of a treat, you’ll appreciate it.
You unwrap the thing and take a good bite.
Charon: Salty, but sweet…
Sabbath: Yeah.
Charon: Bit of a chunky sandwich.
Sabbath: Eat these for breakfast all the time, get your protein fast.
Charon: Wish I had milk honestly… but I appreciate it.
Sabbath: You’ll live.
Charon: So why’d you approach me anyway?
Sabbath: You were bad at fishing.
Charon: I mean..
Sabbath: I wanted an excuse to talk to someone and you gave me a clean shot at that.
Charon: How is it in practice?
Sabbath: It’s alright.
Sabbath: You still interested in trying to fish?
Charon: Mm…
Sabbath: Finish up that sandwich and I’ll loan you a rod, give you a proper lesson.
Sabbath: Least I can do for you listening me go off a bit.
Sabbath: Sound good?
Charon: Anything I can do to repay you?
Sabbath: It’s on the house dude, just be a good listener.
Charon: I can do that.
