No one really tells you how scary it is to fish in the dark. Everyone else seems used to it, but the thought of falling in is crippling.

I guess it must sound more profound in my head when I'm worrying about dying alone near a dock, doing something new. Sorry.

[The little worries that pop into your head when you stare into an abyss.]

I guess tea would be able to improve the state of things just a little.

I've never done either so I'll take your word for it.

But I'll leave you to it. I'm sure you'll need your concentration once the fish start biting.

I don't really mind it, honestly. My hands are free with this magic apparatus, so it isn't as if I'm really straining.

Plus, nothing's touched my line at all, since I've started.

I hear fishing takes a lot of patience. [Like a lot looooot of patience.] It's never really been to my taste.

[satsujinki]

I think it might. Fortunately, as much as I complain, I'm still stubborn enough to follow through with the right steps and do everything the right way.

The fact that I can do it while sitting certainly makes it easier.
