[The best way to make friends is to get arrested together, right? Either that or someone forgot to read the rules. Whatever the reason, Kirito wanders over, watching curiously. It's been ages since he fished...]

Catch anything good yet?

[runawayprince]

[Oh hey, it's a kid. And clearly a fellow fishing nerd? This suits him just fine, actually.]

Hey. [He gives a short wave of acknowledgement, looking at his still unmoving line.]

So far nothing, but I could use a hand if I end up catching a big one. You interested?

[Without someone like Gladio to be 90 percent of the big muscles he'll have to do it, but a little help goes a long way.]

[huaaaaagh]

[Kirito returns the awkward wave, stepping up to stand beside Noctis, peering into the water for signs of life. The water's so nice and clear here, and it looks like it just goes on forever. It's pretty, but not the most promising of fishing points.

Now he's wondering if a search skill would help.]

Totally interested. And if you catch something really impressive, I might just know an exceptional chef we could probably convince to cook it.

[runawayprince]

Nice! I do too - except... I haven't seen him around.

[Which was unnerving, really. Speaking of things that throw him off - the line jiggles slightly, showing some tension.]

Oh hey, maybe I got something?

[His gaze drops to the water, looking for signs of an exceptionally large fish, if possible. When Noctis fishes, he generally likes the bigger the better. That's just common sense, right?]

[huaaaaagh]

[Absolutely common sense. Kirito can't really point fingers, either- he's been the same way.

He crouches down to watch the line more closely, waiting and ready to assist with the catching if need be. Sure looks like they might have a biter, though what could be biting, he has no idea.]

Have you tried calling for your friend using the comms? That's usually the fastest way to check.

[runawayprince]

[Noctis is patient enough, waiting for signs of the line jiggling more rigorously as he gently pulls it in. It's definitely not the same as his trusty fishing rod, that's for sure.]

Well, I'd use my cellphone but I couldn't find it.

[He basically just came here with just himself. It was great.]

[huaaaaagh]

[Huh... if he's really knew, maybe he didn't get the memo.]

Yeah, uh. Phones don't work here, sorry... but if he's around, I'm sure you'll notice at some point. People have a way of finding each other.
