Mortimer grabbed his bag and slung it around his body. Then he was back outside with Gunnar. "Go to other place. Hunt too much here." He said. Indeed the clam population was down in the lagoon from all of the hunting they had done. Today they would go to a nearby bay and look for clams there. "Unsure." He replied to the question.
He began to swim heading out of the lagoon. He made sure to go slow enough that Gunnar could keep up. They still had a long swim even though he was taking them to the closest bay. "Let me know if tired." He told Gunnar. They could rest or he could let Gunnar rest on his back while he swam if the young one needed a break.

Gunnar nodded and gave his tail a quick flick. He sped like a dart through the water, going back and forth as he tried to keep pace with his guardian. "Not tired!" He went in another circle around the manta, and playfully grabbed onto a wide fin and hung on, allowing himself to be dragged along.

Mortimer kept an eye on Gunnar as they swam. He was glad that the young one didn't wander off but instead kept in sight and nearby. When Gunnar claimed to be not tired he nodded. A small smile appeared when Gunnar grabbed onto a fin. He sped up a little giving the young angler a good ride. They didn't pass anyone as they swam towards the bay which wasn't unusual. This area wasn't very populated with other underwater taur.

Gunnar hummed softly to himself as they swam along, allowing himself to just be pulled along by Mort's strong swim. Being used to the solitary life of just Mort and himself, he hardly noticed that they didn't pass a single soul.
When they reached the hunting grounds, he detached from his guardian and began the hunt. "Clam!" he squeaked, darting around and swiping up each little clam he laid his eyes on.

Mortimer slowed down as they reached the bay. Soon Gunnar detached himself and immediately began hunting. He watched for a moment and shook his head. He then looked around and noticed that a few water taur were quickly leaving the bay. It was like they saw Gunnar and decided to flee. This caused a frown to appear as he pondered this.
After a few minutes had passed he began to hunt. He dove down to the bottom and began to scoop up clams. He put those in his bag and then held it out for Gunnar to add his in.

Gunnar, for his part, was so focused on the hunt that he didn't notice the others leaving the area. Why should he care anyway? Peeking back at his guardian, he pried one of the clam shells open and snuck a bite for himself, tossing the empty shell away before moving on. His arm was becoming quite full of clams, sharp eyes able to spot the portable meals now that he had learned what to look for, and he took his load to the offered bag. "Clams!"
One hunter though was unfazed by the arrival of the strange family. In fact, she seemed quite happy to see them there. "Morty! Gunnar!" Evelyn flew over to her buddies and circled them happily. "I wish you'da told me you were gonna be here! I'da waited for ya before fillin' my net!"

Mortimer smiled a little at Gunnar. "Yes. Clams." He waited until all of them were loaded into the bag before closing it and swinging it back around. He then continued his hunt. He stopped when he heard someone call out. It was nickname that only one person used (or that he allowed to use it). He spotted Evelyn swimming towards them. "Evelyn. Didn't know. Gunnar hungry. Wants clams."

Gunnar looked up at the newest arrival and smiled. "Evin! Clams!" Strangely enough, he could say 'Mortimer,' but not 'Evelyn'.... He darted around to see what the female manta had been catching, and he cocked his head curiously. "Fish. Rocks... No eat rocks."
Evelyn giggled. Mortimer's speech never ceased to amuse her. "I was hungry, too. Got fish!" She looked back at Gunnar and giggled again. "Not just any rocks. Pretty ones!"

Mortimer tilted his head as Evelyn giggled. She always seemed to giggle when he talked and he didn't know why. He nodded when she said she got fish and pretty rocks. "Fish good. To eat. .....Maybe share?" He said, "Rocks good. Decoration though." He then began to hunt for clams again.

Gunnar wrinkled his little nub of a nose. "Fish good. Can't eat rocks." Then he turned and resumed his clam hunt as well.
Evelyn sighed heavily. "No, Gunny. You don't eat rocks. I'm not gonna eat them." Her eyes lit up as Mortimer spoke. "We can combine our findin's! Hav'a reeeaally big meal all together! Fun, fun!"

Mortimer found some more clams and threw them into his collection bag. He also spotted some shrimp and lobsters but passed them up. Hearing Evelyn he paused to look at her. He thought about it for a moment then looked to Gunnar. "If Gunnar agrees. We can." He simply said. He then resumed the search finding more. He also spotted a few pretty rocks and picked those up and with a flick of his tail sent them to land near Evelyn.

Gunnar perked up at the meal invitation, and he swam over to do a loop around Evelyn. "Yes! Biiiig clam meal!
Evelyn let out a squeak as the rocks landed near here. She made a delighted noise and plucked them up, tucking them right into her bag with her food. With Gunnar's approval, she smiled brightly and wrapped her tail around him in a hugging manner. "Yay! Fish an' clams! Gonna be goooood! Hurry up an' finish hunting, guys! I'm hungry!"

Mortimer gave a faint smile when Gunnar approved. He figured as much. The little guy seemed to like sharing big meals with Evelyn. He picked up some more clams before calling it good. Swimming over to his friend and ward, Mortimer took off his bag as he figured they would be eating it soon. "Where eat?" He asked. He wasn't sure if Evelyn wanted to eat here or go somewhere else.

Where eat? Gunnar hung from Evelyn's fin like he had Mortimer's before. "The coral garden! Coral garden!"
Evelyn gasped happily. "Yeah! In the coral garden! That'll be good!" She smiled and spun around, leading the way. "It's not too far from here!"
Reaching the coral garden, she found a nice sandy space. She laid her bag down, and sorted through her catch. "Do either o' ya want some fish?"

Mortimer followed after them both to the coral garden. He had to sling the bag back around him so he could swim. He settled down next to Evelyn and took his bag back off. He placed it next to her's before getting out a few clams for Gunnar. "Here." He said before looking at the fish, "I take one." He took a clam for himself and pried the shell open to eat it.
