[D0EM] A fishy situation (Open)

[Shosuro Kaoru]

The early fisherman catches the fish, or so they say. At least one of them has listened to that traditional wisdom and had faced the cold of late winter – or is it very early spring? – in the hope of filling their basket with good catches. Well, they had caught the attention of a young lady at least, clearly of the noble variety, from her phrasing and way of being, even if no mon was visible under the thick traveling clothes and bags.

"So, you're not trying to catch the famous Tsu fish?"
"If a female filled with eggs was to throw herself on my line, I would gladly accept that gift from heaven. Tsu fish eggs are worth a fortune and a half. But they're harder to catch than the wind, so I'd settle for something like an ordinary carp. Dreams make for poor nourishment."
"Is it always that long to catch a common fish?"
"How much do you know about fishing young lady?"
"Not much really. There's a few inside jokes about fishing in the family due to an old incident but..."
"Nothing then. To put it simply, there are many kinds of fishes, many kinds of fishing techniques, but when you're fishing with a line and a hook... only the gods know how much time it will take."
