today val brought @Roux, @Jadou, and cheri down to glintwater for some fishing lessons. it would be a grander adventure to trawl the tidepools, but val knew his limits and refused to touch the sea.
@Astera gave each of them a head start before falling back to walk alongside val. for a time he laughed and marveled at how sapphique’s next generation grew - each new batch stronger and in his estimation, far happier than the last.
they had come such a long way since rusalka. he set each kid to the task of standing still at the banks, or luring the fish close with a grub as @Pepper had shown him. as expected, children made for terrible fishers. but they were laughing, and safe as they splashed one another and crowed over who saw the biggest fish.
a strange wave of sadness took over val as he stepped back and watched the group, feeling strangely removed as if he were standing on the outside peering in.
