"Ohhhhhh how good. That'll be so tasty. I hope your family really enjoys it," Liylasa smiled, mouth hanging open slightly as she thought of the nice tasty lobster they would all be eating at his home. She was glad to help out with catching things for his family and hoped they would have a great time with all that they'd gathered together. She turned away from Tethys and the lobster then, diving back down to get her next catch. Hitting another creature in the water, she quickly realized what it was and swam back up in a panic to Tethys. "Shark, shark, little shark again, Tethys heeeeeelp!!!"

"You know with this big of a catch, you are more than welcome to join us for the feast! Especially since you are catching half of it." He helped take the shark off and plunked it in the net for her. "There all better. All I found was kelp...a good side dish but less protein than I was hoping for." He grinned. "Back down we go and then I think we need a snack before we continue."

"I don't wanna bother your family or anything. I don't want to impose," Liylasa replied, eyeing the shark warily as she inched away from it in the net. There were much too many sharks for her to be comfortable with all their teeth. She hoped they didn't eat the tiny fish either! She wanted to join, but thinking about visiting with his family made her a bit shy. Ignoring that thought for now she dove down once more for her final speargun attempt before they snacked! She let loose her speargun and struggled as she hit something super big!! A huge fish fought against her before she lifted it out, showing it off to Tethys. "BIG FISH."

“You wouldnt be imposing we have visitors from all over all the time, but if there are too many people for you I totally get that. You can take your choice of the catch home then.”
He was a very easy going dude.
He went down and caught a fish but as he was swimming up, a zanteer came and looking utterly delighted that Tethys had done his work for him, stole the struggling fish off the spear.
“It wasnt that good of fish anyway!” He yelled at thr beast as he got to the surface. “A zanteer stole my fish.”

Liylasa laughed, watching as the zanteer bobbed around in the water with Tethys' catch. She couldn't really blame the cute creature for catching the easy meal, and instead clapped for the furry friend for his smart thinking. "He was hungry too!! He was smart about his catch just like we've been!" Liylasa smiled, patting Tethys on the back to soothe him. "It's okay!"

He made a mildly pouty face but he didn't really mind it. Especially with the look of pure joy on the zanteer's faces, they always had such interesting senses of humor. "Alright FOOD, then more fishing!" He tugged the net into the rocks and protected it so said zanteer couldn't raid the goods they had officially caught.
He unpacked their picnic and looked excitedly at the impressive spread of cheese crackers dried meat chips and fresh dip. "Not too shabby for a beach day huh?"

"I'd say this is very good, indeed! Well thought out!" Liylasa agreed, plopping down beside him as she eagerly grabbed for the closest thing. She was definitely hungry after so many attempts at fishing along with her scrambling away from the little sharks. "This is really fun, even if the sharks are a little spooky," she laughed, sticking some cheese into her mouth.

He scooped up some cheese and crackers. "They are dangerous, you are not wrong they could take of a finger or toe if they were allowed too so you are being right by being careful. I avoid the bitey end too." He was happy that so far they hadn't come across one of the bigger sharks, they sometimes were attracted by the actvity of spear fishing, but they would head to a slightly different spot after lunch to prevent that hopefully. He felt like he was starving, swimming never felt as hard as running but you were using your whole body to do it on top of everything else.

Liylasa was glad for that, not wanting to deal with the sharks more if she didn't have to. She was excited to see what his family used them for, but that was about it. No bitey ends allowed near her! She quieted a bit then, her own hunger getting the better of her as she stuffed her face more. "I'm not used to this sort of work, but it's been fun!!"

"This is some of my favorite kind of work, well besides the treasure hunting with you. That is also a ton of fun. I'm so happy that you found that treasure. It makes all the research and looking so worth it. I guess the fish are my version of treasure? Edible treasure?" He giggled and also continued to stuff himself. When he couldn't stuff in another bite he sat back to relax a bit. "We have to wait a moment to swim again." He looked out over the water and enjoyed her company.

"Awwww. I hate waiting," she pouted, flopping back into the sand and scrunching her nose as she felt the gritty texture rub against her wet skin. She decided to wait by shifting her arms and legs out to make a sort of sand creature with her limbs, scooting them in close to her body and then back out repeatedly. "I'd like to treasure hunt away from Matori. What do you think?"

He paused. "I think we have to, if we find all the treasure here too early it will be dead boring. I like travel I'm willing to make a trek or two, where did you have in mind?" He was horrendously excited by this new turn of talk. "Not too much longer and we can return to the water."

Liylasa tapped her chin, considering her options. "Well I've always wanted to travel! I want to go to Zena for sure and spend a lot of time there! That's where my dad is from. Could hunt treasure in the mountains," she grinned, looking out at the water. She'd never been to the mountains or out of Matori. She could feel herself getting a bit restless staying in one place too. "I just don't want to be stuck, you know? World class adventurers can't be in one place! I've gotta live on the road and all that!" She explained, motioning wide with her arms.

"Zena sounds really cool! I hear they have great big fish up there! Plus some really fancy critters. My sneks might have to stay home though its a bit cold for keldari that far north or they would just never leave my shirt and we would keep each other warm." He was sure a few people had them up there but it would be rather cold. "I like that idea. Does your Dad miss it?" He was glad that they had been in Matori at the time he was so that they could meet. She was his best friend.

"I think he does. We've talked about it a little. I supposedly have grandparents there too but I've never met them," Liylasa shrugged. Family wasn't a huge deal to them, other than her small unit of herself and her parents. It didn't really bother her, but she found it really interesting. "I know it's way different from your situation. Seems like you're pretty tied here?" Liylasa commented, a bit serious for once.
