Kinsey nodded and motioned for Ki to give her some room. Once the older woman was a few feet back, Kinsey cast her line with a mighty swing, smiling as the hook went buzzing through the air. Her lips twinged. Her old fishing buddy would be appalled to see her cast her line like that, a good way to ruin the bait, but she was very fond of showing off her arm. "That was a little overkill," she murmured, "it ruins the bait a little. Unless you have it on real well, like I do." A cheeky smile.
"Oh, well, that's cool, I guess, as long as you enjoy your job. I think I'd die, though." Being a waitress is nice and all, but some people could really grate the nerves, and she would definitely be fired for dumping hot coffee in someone's lap. Something tugged on the line. "Oh hey! That was fast." It better not be a boot.
Kinsey grinned like a wildcat as she began to reel her line in.

Ki grinned back. The maneuver had been impressive--even Obe had eyed the flying hook cautiously until it had disappeared beneath the waves. Moving forward again, she remained slightly behind Kinsey, taking a moment to observe some of the other people casting along the water's edge.
"Mmmm. Well, I work on a ship, so I'm sometimes away from port for months at a time--you either find portable hobbies, or you tend to make the sea itself a hobby." Which wasn't to say, of course, that tension didn't sometimes run high--being kept in such close quarters for so long, some disputes were bound to crop up, after all.
When the girl began to reel in her line, Ki watched with a vague sort of interest--she'd always perceived fishing to be one of those hobbies where you often sat all day without any tangible gratification. "Is it a big one? How can you tell it's a fish, and not just a piece of debris that the hook got snagged on?"

"Huh. Well, kudos to you," she chuckled. Kinsey bit her lip and tugged the line, fighting with the thing at the supposed creature of the end. "See, the thing is, I doooon't exactly know what's on the end of the hook," she drawled, giving another good tug. "By the way it's movin' around, I'd reckon it to be a fish. But, you never really know. Sometimes a boot catches a flow and moves all over the place, you think you've hooked yourself a nice'un but noooooo."
The youth gave a good tug when her line got close to the dock, and a small popped out of the water, flailing all over the place as Kinsey tried to bring the creature to the deck. "Damnit. He's too little." Kinsey made a grab for the fish, fumbling around with the wild little beast before finally getting a good hold on him. She popped the hook out of his mouth and let the fish slip free. Kinsey sighed and wiped her hand on the deck. "Hardly worth the effort." A small grin. "I kinda throw them all back, anyways."
Kinsey turned and offered the pole to the older woman. "Wanna turn? Or you still watchin'?"

Still not quite sure she saw the appeal of this particular pasttime, particularly since nothing seemed to be gained from it, Ki was, nonetheless, willing to give it a try herself. Besides, it wasn't as though she'd had any other pressing plans for this afternoon, and she was flush enough with cash after the voyage she'd just returned from that funds weren't an immediate concern.
Holding out one sun-bronzed hand expectantly, she gave the other girl a small grin, raising one eyebrow. "I think I'm ready to give it a try." she said, eyeing Obe warily, as if she half expected him to do something foolish, like get in the way of the hook when she went to cast.
Landing gracefully by the she-pirate's feet, Oberon twined himself around her ankles, eyeing the now-rapidly disappearing fish with an air of mourning. It had been a flash of silvery temptation, before the girl had released it back into the water.
Mimicking Kinsey's grip on the fishing pole, Ki attempted a cast, barely avoiding getting hooked herself when she forgot to release the button, line swinging dangerously close to Obe's thick fur, as well.
"...This isn't quite as easy as it looks, is it?" she offered a moment later, cocking her head to the side as she looked at Kinsey, clearly waiting for some sort of explanation.
