There's a food stall just off the docks that has a good eye for oyster.

Permalink

If Elaise likes oyster - or any seafood, really - Amajina bets she can do a sight better than most stalls, especially since a lot of commercial harvesters aren't at all careful about not disturbing the ecosystem.

Permalink

Sure.

Fresh caught oyster it is!

Amajina gets more specific requests from Sayuri and Shinrei, then heads out - oysters are more often in sheltered areas and not exposed to the open sea, but the island has plenty of estuaries... She moves fairly quickly, getting everyone's requests as well as gathering some other stuff like edible seaweed to go with it...

Amajina's apparently also pretty good at preparing food, and she definitely has a very good eye for quality catches.

That's about as cool as the tide pools.

Heeeeee.

"I like food."

Permalink

"You're good at it."

Permalink

"Aw, thanks."

Permalink

Brief smile.

Sayuri's sitting a bit separate, somewhat awkwardly. "So... Uh. Amajina said she didn't, but did you go to the Academy, Elaise?"

Permalink

"Yeah. I did."

Permalink

That's not an expression like she should keep poking, is it.

"I didn't much, not really..."

Permalink

"You didn't miss much."

Permalink

"Yeah. Never really got that impression, and - we came to the village proper often enough I could make friends without a school locking us in."

Permalink

"Has Shinrei-sensei been teaching you for a while, then?"

Permalink

"Yeah. We're not sure how old I was when she found me, but I was really tiny, and she's been raising me since - and teaching me as stuff becomes reasonably learnable."

Permalink

"Seems like it's worked out for you."

Permalink

"It has, yeah."

Permalink

"That's good."

Permalink

"She's been a really good teacher, but," shrug, "Guess different teachers can work better or worse for different people?" Hum. "Though I like having you guys on my team so far. You're cool."

Permalink

"For all of the six hours you've known us."

Permalink

She grins. "It's been an informative six hours! You're definitely not blatant assholes, if nothing else."

Permalink

"Glad we've got that established."

Permalink

Giggle.

"So what next?"
