"I would like that. It is good to eat with others." Ash looked happy with the idea, hooking the bag on his arm and pressing his hands together infront of him. He smiled, then ducked his head slightly. "We should... We can get the things we need? For food? I can catch fish... does it need to be specific fish? Aa... but there are those little pools, maybe we can catch fish together, also..."
He turned his head, looking away from the other two toward the tidepools. He wasn't sure if the fish that would be trapped there would be any good for eating - they would probably be too small. But maybe if there were a lot of them, their small size wouldn't matter?

“Thanks.” Hau gave the big man a smile and a nod then turned to Ash.
“Well,” he raised an eyebrow, eyes flickering over the tide pools. He was trying to pull his thoughts together. Ash seemed so enthusiastic about this, he hated to take the wind out of his sails. “Uh, we can’t use the pools. Anything in there is going to be too little, it’s going to be all bones.” But did the fish used in sushi need special preparation? How fresh did it have to be? He was pretty sure he knew where to find wild salmon and he had a passing familiarity with tuna fishing but on anything else he was clueless. And couldn’t it take hours just to get a bite? Not to mention cleaning what they caught. “Did you mean to go today? It might take a while, and I don’t know about you but I’d have to rent a fishing pole. We might be better off hitting up the fish market or something.”

Jedidiah:
"we could do that too. . ." he replied. . .it wasn't like he was going to be able to follow them onto a boat since he might sink it. . . being as heavy as he was. . . " we might want to grab some ice for the cooler if we do, to keep the fish nice and chilled for the walk back if you guys would like to do this today. " he added happily.
hopefully they would not mind the walking. . . though, would they have enough time in the day? he wondered if they can make it before it gets too dark. . .

"Aa, too little?" Ash frowned slightly, considering that. He glanced back toward the tide pools again in consideration. Well, they didn't really look like they could hold anything very big - certainly nothing big enough for Jedidiah. "Aa, that makes sense. It may be better to buy..." He paused, glancing back to Hau curiously. "I... have never used a pole for fishing before. Is it difficult to learn?"
"Maybe... if you show me what the fish we need look like, I can get them later? Doctor Jedi has many books with pictures in them, we can go back there after? Or... Or I can go, and then bring them here?" He glanced from Hau to Jedi uncertainly. He could find bigger fish, probably big enough for Jedi, out in the deep water... but he knew he couldn't do it here or now. He would need to shift, and there were too many people here - they would be frightened probably, Hau would probably be frightened too. "Maybe... maybe later you can teach me...? How to fish with a pole or... what you would use?"

Hau shrugged, if they wanted to go fishing today he was fine with that. They might run late but he had a built-in flashlight with his foxfire, the dark had never scared him. "I can take care of the ice." He volunteered.
"I... have never used a pole for fishing before. Is it difficult to learn?"
"It's not too hard, it's mostly a matter of patience... and aim I suppose." At that moment Hau wished fervently that he had his phone on him, he could probably find some sort of video that would give Ash a good idea of how hard fishing would be. On top of that he could show him the type of fish they would need as well, and he could look up more information on them himself. A thought tugged at Hau and he gave the young man another subtle, appraising glance. "If you've never used a fishing pole, how have you fished before?"

Jedidiah:
"oh, thank you. if I remember correctly there's a convenient store that has relatively cheap not too far off. . .we would just need to avoid the tourist traps. " he replied. . ." do you need cash for the ice? " he asked.
he quietly listened as the two continued . . .fishing with a pole? . . .like spear fishing? there's also mom's crazy ass method of just diving into the water and coming out with a fish or two in hand. . .sometimes a large fish. . . maybe net fishing? oooh, there's also diversion fishing that mom taught when they were at warmer areas of the mountain. . . making a stone wall in shallow water that went diagonally in. . . effectively trapping fish into a corner. . . just had to chase them towards it. . .

"Aa. I... use my hands?" Ash was a little uncertain, looking from Hau to Jedi, then back. Was that strange? He lifted one of his hands in emphasis, flexing his fingers. Of course, if he intended to hunt for fish, then they would have had claws. Perhaps humans hunted fish with a pole because they lacked claws - he was also envisioning something like a spear. It made sense to him, striking the prey with a weapon of some sort... Or perhaps a net? "Most... hunting is patience and aim, yes? I am not as good as others, but I... like to learn."
"Do we have time to learn, today? Or... Aa, maybe it should wait until Hau is uninjured?" He frowned slightly, glancing down at Hau's leg. He wondered how long that might take to heal - different species seemed to heal at different rates. "It does not hurt now? Should we take a rest? We can eat something else..."

Hau shook his head at Jedidiah’s offer of cash. “Don’t worry about it.” It was a simple matter of filling a container, a cooler maybe, with water then freezing it over. Shattering it into workable chunks was hardly a feat on top of that. Although, the longer he considered his plan, the harder it might be to pull off without tipping these two off to his abilities. The surfboard had been a struggle, a full cooler would be even more cumbersome. He couldn’t make the ice on his own and have help hauling it at the same time. And he’d stubbornly prefer to do it on his own.
Reluctantly, he nodded at Ash’s words. It was for the best. “Yeah, we should wait at least a few days, till it doesn’t hurt as much.” Truth be told, it wasn’t bugging him much right now. But he hadn’t done much walking and so hadn’t been putting much weight on it. That would likely change when it was time to finally head out. “But I would like to see how you fish.” He’d heard of people using only their hands, but he was curious to see it performed in person.

Jedidiah:
He blinked abit before he relented. " alright." he replied. Well, he was probably the sort who did not like things being paid for by others. the other potentiality would be that Hau isn't exactly human. As far fetched as the thought would be in other cases, here it seemed abit of an uncommon occurrence; far more common than where he was from originally. When Ash asked if they could learn now or later about how to fish he was abit concerned before Hau reluctantly spoke up and offered that he needed a few days rest. "yes, please try to let yourself rest for the next couple of days at least. You do not need to stay bedridden, just no exercise. When the Biopad has had a few days to work properly it should be ok to remove. " he replied.
though by that time, the gaping wound in his leg would more than likely be more of a dent like form rather than a hole. As if he scrapped his leg rather then punctured it with a piece of rock or coral. "Lower maintenance then what a normal wound care would need. " he added. "On that note, would you two still be interested in heading for the fish market, or would you prefer something else for tonight? " he asked.

"Mm. Aa, I can try to show you how I do it, when you have healed." Ash smiled at Hau, looking forward to it. "And you can show me how to use a pole to do it? We will both learn." This concept seemed to please him.
He absently teased at the edge of his shell bag, toying with the draw-string that would close it. "I am happy to eat what you like. Do you want to make it? Or we can buy something that has been made already. At, aa... res-store?" He glanced from Jedi to Hau, tilting his head slightly to the side. "You will come eat with us, too, yes?"

“Sounds like a plan.” Hau smiled at Ash. He was looking forward to a nice relaxing day fishing, there were probably some great spots for it around here somewhere. And it would be a good opportunity to explore more of the wilderness around Wathais, as well as the city itself. He would, after all, have to find a place to rent the equipment from.
Then his attention turned to Jedidiah as the big man spoke and he nodded. “Don’t worry.” Hau tried to reassure him. Even if he got the job at the café, he’d probably have a few days to wait before he starting work so he could take it easy. “I don’t have plans to do anything crazy.” Certainly not surfing again anytime soon.
“And, sure, I’ll eat with you.” His gaze flickered back to Ash, then to Jed, gauging their reactions as he suggested, “I think it’d be more entertaining to try and make something. The fish market’s fine. Or the, uh, store.” He hesitated, not completely sure what Ash was referring to. Honestly, he didn’t care what they did as long as it involved food, but it was cheaper to make something at least.

Jedidiah:
"alright, when shall we head out to get started? " he asked. If they leave then or sometime soon, they will need to pack up their belongings for the day and head out. There was still some light out but that might not be true in an hour or so; though ooooh boy, the haul they got from the day's venture was impressive.
They had to have been out for a couple of hours. the biopad shows it as well, seeing it has begun to expand just abit- showing it was working. Oooh, they should figure out a shopping list for dinner then. Maybe some containers too, incase Hau wanted to take some food home? If he wanted some, of course.
