Yuan sat on a foldable chair, content as he watched the bobber from his fishing pole lightly lift with the movement of the waves. If he wasn't so focused, he would have fallen asleep from being so at peace. When he was fishing, he had all the time in the world to sit and think. But he didn't. He just allowed himself to breathe and find his center, waiting patiently for the moment the fishing line began to tighten just the slightest bit. Just wait for that teensy bit of adrenaline, that feeling of potential success just pulling at his line... waiting to be eaten. His tail flicked excitedly at the thought of freshly roasted fish. He could already smell it.
"I wonder where the little fox is~," Yuan mused to himself, settling back in his chair with pole in hand. He hadn't known Miko very long. Heck, she hadn't even been in town very long when he had invited her out fishing. But once he had found her out fishing on the docks one afternoon, he was happy enough to find another fisherman ━ er, woman?━ in their small town. Of course, he had to invite her out for a good fishing session and see what she was made of. Maybe he'd even be able to drag her away from T&T to work on his boat. Fish was always in high demand, after all. The more he could haul in, the more money he could get. And the thought of money was even more tempting than the thought of food.
It wasn't long after that Miko arrived, carrying with her a large crate of wood and an oversized bag of... equipment? It looked like a lot, or rather like it weighed a whole lot. How was such a small girl carrying so much stuff??? Yuan couldn't understand it. Before he could even ask if she needed a hand, she had plopped the box of wood down on the sand and was making a grab for her fishing pole and tackle box. He couldn't help but gawk, a bit amazed she had made it all the way out here without any help or collapsing along the way. She was certainly a lot tougher than she looked.
“Sorry I’m late.”
Yuan grinned, patting the sand beneath him as he watched her take a seat beside him. "It's all good. I don't think the fishes will mind," he joked, watching as she prepped her hook before casting it out to sea. Usually, he fished alone or with men, so fishing with female company was a fresh change of pace. He wasn't sure what Miko thought of him, though he never really seemed to delve too much into what opinions others held of him. He didn't know enough of Miko to form an informed opinion of her, though she seemed the polite type. A little quiet but that could always be worked on. At least, that was Yuan's standpoint on things.
Looking out to sea, his ears perked up slightly as the other thanked him for inviting her out today. The corner of his lip tilted up in a small smile as he leaned back to glance at her. "Of course. I gotta see what you're made of after all. You seem like you know your stuff little fox," he stated with a grin, prodding her lightly with his elbow as he turned his gaze back to the sea.
Yuan listened as she began to make small talk about fishing, smiling slightly in understanding as she noted one could fall asleep right in the middle of it. There were many times he'd catch himself nodding off while waiting for a catch on a calm day, though he'd far more tempted to do so on his boat, where the wave often rocked him into a nice nap. He was lucky he hadn't lost a pole yet. "It's all good and fun until you miss out on a catch," he noted with a small chuckle, somewhat wondering how many bites he'd missed out on already.
As Miko offered up surfing as an example of hobbies you most certainly couldn't nap during, Yuan burst out in laughter, trying to imagine the thought of someone actually DOZING OFF, WHILE SURFING. The imagery was comical, having the tiger folded over in laughter. "PFT! That's hilarious. I mean. Not the dead part, because, well dead. But imagine some dude just falling asleep while on his board. Kekeke. You're pretty funny little fox," Yuan commented with a grin, hardly noticing as his fishing line started to tighten a bit. That was, until Miko was tugging at his sleeve pointing it out.
"Oh!" Looking out to the water, he watched and waited until the bobber sunk down, jerking his pole up and setting the hook into the fish. He knew he was successful as he felt a strong pull, his hand moving to reel her in. Reeling in firmly, he watched as the line drew closer and closer, watching as the fish came close to the shore, flapping fiercely and almost looking as if it washing in with the tide. Yuan grinned, reeling her in just a bit more before drawing the pole in towards a cooler he had propped in the sand just a few feet from their seats. "Looks like a decent-sized sea bass," he said with a grin, holding up the line to get a good look at it. "You'll be a good snack for later," he hummed, kneeling down to pop the cooler open. Taking a moment to remove the hook, he set the fish inside, keeping a firm grip till she had calmed, slipping her into the water once she had. Sighing happily, he turned to a much smaller cooler, filled with live bait. He fished out a sardine, hooking it on to his pole and returning back to his seat, casting out the line once more. "There's no high like the one after reeling one in, huh little fox?" he asked, turning to look at her with a grin.
