"PFT. Wow, thought that dude was obsessed with, I dunno, cooking and shit." Ashley fails to hold back her smile as she watches Benedict freak out over fishing.
"Yeah, he had fun with it when we offered him to join us when he was having one of his episodes." Lex also fails to hide his own smile. "Let's go fishing, then."
Adam glances between you, Lex, and Benedict. <<span class="mu-b">"Huh. They were willing to hang out with him? Even at his lowest? That's..."</span>> "Don't know what else to say but, uh, thank you. Both of you."
"It was no problem-" "SHUT. UP. SHUT UP FISH NOW!" Benedict promptly grabs you by the wrist and begins to drag you over to the stern of the ship. By the time you even try to struggle, you're already at the same spot you were fishing at yesterday. You telekinetically toss a fishing rod and a handful of bait to him.
Almost immediately, he lets go of you and sits down, enthralled by the prospect of being able to fish. It would be cute if you didn't feel like you were being dragged by a gorilla moments ago. Your other allies take a solid ten minutes to catch up and by the end, they're sweating and panting.
"Woo. Fuck, okay, uh. Fishing. Yeah." Lex mutters, holding his hand out. Oh right. You quickly toss some fishing rods and bait over to your other allies before finding a seat at the stern of the ship. Your allies proceed to join you and before long, the five of you are fishing.
Well. All you can do is wait. Might as well strike up some conversation. You turn to look over at Adam and Ashley. Adam is staring into the deep, deep abyss of the sea with an intense focus in his eyes. Ashley is the exact opposite, clearly bored out of her fucking gourd not even five minutes into fishing.
"So. How's everything hanging with you two?"
"You know, I thought being out at sea would bring some sort of inspiration, you know?" Ashley gestures towards the endless stretches of pale blue sea. "And even if I want to strangle that Captain guy, I appreciate the new guitar but I dunno. Feels like I'm just sticking a thumb up my ass. I guess helping some of the crew with moving stuff around kept my mind off of it until now."
"I can relate to that." Adam leans against the nearby railing. "Though for me it's moreso the fact I don't really know what I'm doing in general, really? Look. A week ago, I was just some random general manager of a fast food joint. Now?"
Adam makes a vague gesture towards everything and everyone nearby. "I'm here. I mean I prefer that Lex guy over those two lovey dovey fucks back at the casino."
"Eh. They were cute." Ashley shrugs. "Even if that rich bitch annoyed me and that pharmacist guy is probably pussy whipped by her."
"CAN YOU NOT TALK ABOUT THAT? IT'S FISHING TIME!" "FISH! TIME!" Lex and Benedict yell at the three of you.
"You do realize yelling is just going to scare the fucking fish, you retards!" Ashley yells back.
"That's not how any of this works." Adam overdramatically sighs. "And you yelled too, you know?"
