He finishes, straightens his collar, and sits. "I'm done."
--
"Right."
--
"Well, I get made when things don't work properly. But we're making this work. It's not as if I'm giving you a hard time about it."

---
"Let me show you how to bait your hook." He reaches for the tackle box.

"So? You think that makes it easy on me?"

"You are forgiven!"
---
"You need to attach a hook to the line. Like this." He takes a hook out and demonstrates.
Sparrow pokes at the water.
---
"Look, I'm trying to be grateful. Really. Just don't act like this is any better than where I was before." He turns and shoves at the door to crawl out of the cage.

"Well, it isn't mine."
--
"Ah."

"I'm sure it'll come soon. The money. Don't you get a place to live and good food?"

"It is right now."

"You do yours."
Sparrow flicks water at Russ.

Hmph.

"Interesting? Why?"

He makes a sad face and tries tying a hook onto the line.

"He's a silly little fellow."
---
Sparrow splashes more water at him.
Matthew casts his line.
----
"And please don't bring up my old job again. You wouldn't understand." He straightens his shirt.

"How so?"

He drops the hook, curses, and reaches down to find it.

"He's a liar." Edan snickers.
---
"Aww, you mess up?"

"I was talking about my wife. You brought up the rest." He frowns and taps his fingers on the cage.

"Lindsey is? What has he lied about?"

"Yeees." He finds the hook and tries again.
