Falls of the Hinterlands well i tripped, i fell down

I have no secrets. The man was honest in his answer, he had nothing to hide from anyone. I think you're cute and fun and I think you should know that. And that was all there was to it. He didn't think he was being smooth right now with it or with some kind of hidden agenda by throwing her compliments. In fact, he was certain she already knew such things! There were probably men on the daily who told her she was pretty and he was just one in a sea of men!

You want fish? Less of a question as he already, ungracefully, plunged into the cool waters and let the sting of the frosty lake kiss his skin. Hold on, I'm on it. Inkly muscle crept out from his maw as he licked up any drops of water that clung to them before focussing on the waters... he wasn't a great fisher honestly... but he would try.

....  a bit of time-lapse

After jumping into the water, the ripples eventually faded around him... silence took over the man as he scanned the waters for nearby movement. Once a flash of silver caught his eye, he plunged neck-deep!! Snapping and only feeling the slimy scales brush his fangs before grabbing... nothing. Coming up to gasp for air, empty mawed this round... he was not out yet. He waited for another chance.
