Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lixes leaned forward, hands resting in his lap, looking quite bored as he waited for the mud in the water to settle. Once that happened the trap was easier to see, allowing him to wait and watch as the fish started to reappear slowly but surely back in the area where he'd set up the trap. He lifted a hand, tucking some of the longer strands of his hair behind his ear, then went to tapping his fingers against his lap. It was a rather boring task, wasn't it? Maybe he aught to go about finding something else around the area to eat? The fish would catch themselves, Rajani was getting fruit, so maybe he could gather herbs or something else meat related?

The question was forgotten as he got pegged in the side with a piece of fruit that made a sort of 'splat' sound against him. He gave a gasp, jerking to his feet, before starring down at the fruit that sat there. He blinked a couple times before looking up, looking for a moment confused before he called up, "Ahh... sorry! Was I supposed to be catching the fruit?" He hadn't really been paying attention to what she was doing so... maybe?

Holding his hands up he said, "I'll catch the next one!"

Lixes shifted his stance, hands up, waiting for the next of the fruits to be tossed his way since it seemed that he was supposed to catch them. He was starting to think that maybe he hadn't missed her telling him that and that instead it was some sort of game that Rajani was playing with him? One in which he needed to either catch or dodge the fruit, or at least that was what it felt like to him.

"Eh? Naw, I think the only thing that I would lure in tasting of fruit would be a nondwa and you don't want to eat that. Those are far too dusty." The one time that he'd gotten into a tussle with one, way back when he was a youngling, he and a few others had ended up coated in glittering dust. Ever since then he'd been careful to given a wide berth so as not to end up glitter coated again. All the more reason to catch the fruits that were tossed his way he thought to himself as he lunged forward catching the two tossed his way one after the other, though the second one sort of ended up a bit squished in his hand. Oops... well, at least he'd caught it? The one up side to the poor catch... and at least the first one was alright.

Setting them down, shaking off the excess juice, then held his hands up again and asked, "More incoming?"

Lixes made a bit of a face, "I'd rather not do that again. There is nothing heroic about being covered in colorful nondwa dust." He said, certain that nobody would take him seriously if he was to get himself covered in that dust. Just the thought of it had him shaking his hair rapidly, tongue sticking out. At the mention of him being able to lure maglardilla he couldn't help but to grumble a little. That was probably the second to last thing that he wanted to lure in because he seemed to have no good luck when it came to maglardilla. Of course just as he thought that the on traveling with Rajani decided to take it upon itself to try bothering him.

Giving a little sigh he nudged the creature away from him, not wnating to get climbed, tackled, or bitten by the creature. The way his luck ran with this particular species he knew that was basically the only thing that could happen with them. Of course as he struggled to hold back the chittering creature he found himself failing to catch more fruit, getting hit by another one... which had the girl above him laughing. He glanced up at her, then lifted a hand to rub it against his temples, certain now that maybe Rajani was picking on him?

Walking over to the edge of the water checking the fish trap before he walked some distance from where it was set up, setting to work rinsing himself off best that he could. He did so quickly so as not to disturb the fish since those were the reason that they had come here initially. He couldn't risk scaring them off just because he didn't want to be bait for various insects. As he rinsed off he called back to Rajani, "I think I saw some fish! Once I am cleaned up I will check again and see if there is enough to make it worth closing the trap's entrance."

Giving a nod of his head he said, "I will be careful, don't worry! As a hero I can't let myself get taken down by something as mundane as a small river." He gave a grin, patting a hand against his chest, before he returned to cleaning up. Once he was washed up he hopped up to his feet, stretching out all over, before he looked over at his new friend once more, "I am going to check the trap. If it's ready what will happen is I am gonna slip into the trap through the tiny door then block it. I will toss the fish out onto the bank and it will be your job to club them!"

Giving a nod he started forward, wading slowly and cautiously toward the door, then gave a smile. It looked as though there were a lot of fish within the trap of various types and sizes. It meant that the trap had worked pretty well and he hoped that there would be enough for Rajani's needs. Moving into the trap he was quick to block it off, only losing one or two of them before he was able to shut the trap off from the rest of the river. Clapping his hands together he said, "There are some in here! Let me get them for you, Rajani!"

He then turned to the trap and set to work catching the by hand, tossing them onto the bank next to Rajani.

Lixes watched as Rajani got into place, clubbing the fish that he'd tossed her way. Giving a smile he said, "Great work, Rajani! I will keep them flying your way. Once we've knocked them all silly we will gather them up so that you can take them back to your family." He gave a nod of his head before he continued to toss them her way. Once he got the trap emptied out he meant to open up the funnel entrance again, to allow more fish to enter. He'd come back for those ones himself for his own family. Right now though he was focused on Rajani's needs, not wanting to appear as though he were being selfish or something.

"Alright! Here is the last one!" He said, tossing a good sized cat fish her way, the last of the ones in the trap, and a pretty good one to end with since it was a pretty impressive size. They were lucky the thing didn't try to crash through the trap straight away since that would have ruined all the work. He'd offer a prayer up to Aisha and Chi both, as well as Serin since she was surely on Rajani's side in all of this.

Lixes gave a grin, giving her two thumbs up, before he waded over to the entrance of the trap and opened it up once more. Once the thing was again open for the fish to wander into he headed for the shore, dragging himself out of the water before shaking his legs off, "Alright! All done! Do you think that is enough for you?" He asked of Rajani in a curious manner, wanting to make sure what fish they had been able to get were enough for her.

As she asked if he needed help getting fish for his family he gave a shake of his head, "Naw, I should be alright! If I end up needing help I will be able to call my big brother in to help me out. He's strong so he is well versed at carrying things." Going and fetching Drexl would actually give the trap plenty of time to refill itself as well. So all that he had to worry about now was Rajani and if she had everything that she needed.

"Do you have anything to carry the fish in? If not we can use some rope I have in my pack to tie them by the tails to a big stick and carry them back that way."

Lixes gave a pleased sort of smile, "That's good to hear! I'm glad that we were able to gather enough for your family." He said, moving to gather up his various things as she said that she had a way to bring the food home, "You have a way to get them all back? Alright! If you're certain then that's good." He was glad that she would be able to handle the fish was a good thing. He watched as she set to work picking up and hooking the fish, proving that she was strong enough to carry all of the fish on her own. It was pretty impressive indeed he thought to himself before giving a smile, "Yeah, no problem! It was fun!"

As she asked him if he knew his way out of the woods he gave a nod of his head, "Yep! I've lived in this general area for a good portion of my life so I will alright." Putting his pack over his shoulder then resting his hammer against his other shoulder, "If you need anything else let me know, I tend to be roaming this area!" This was his homeland and as such he had to be the one to protect it! At least that was the plan he thought with a grin.
