151 Vol. 3 pt. 21 Patch 4.0: A Cat is Fine Too (1/2)
And so, they fish.
Having dropped the new anchor that Tabitha created for The Shoebill, Fenrir sits on a barrel by the ship's port side while watching the line that he has cast.
”It's been a while since we've gotten to just relax like this,” Fenrir says. Rock is being extra needy by whining and pressing her head against him, so whenever there isn't a bite on the line, he has one hand on her head to pet her.
It is just a slow, lazy day for fishing.
”We need to invest in some actual chairs to sit on. I feel like kicking back and reclining. We also need some alcohol,” Fenrir says.
Rod pulses a few times, so Fenrir has no idea what he's trying to say.
”By the way, I should probably tell you two that we're gonna be getting a new crew member. My childhood friend, Aiko – Rod, I told you about her already. Anyways, it turns out that she's back and is going to make a character to come and join us. I'm supposed to be figuring out where she should spawn at, but we need some relaxing time for fishing. I have to admit, it's nice to just be alone with my rod and my dog.”
Fenrir thinks about what he just said for a few moments.
”It's a good thing Olly and Serra aren't here. I know they would take that out of context and make it perverted.”
”Who said anything about not being here?” Oleander asks.
Fenrir turns around and sees the grinning deer-trap-boy otherwise known as Oleander.
”I – I thought you weren't going to be on for a bit longer?” Fenrir asks.
”Serra messaged me telling me to have fun with teasing you, so I asked what she meant, and she told me that you were in-game!” Oleander explains.
Of course. Of course, it would be Serra to inform him.

”Sorry, did I interrupt you playing with your rod?” Oleander asks. ”I sure hope you weren't playing with your rod with Rock. I might look at you differently if you did that.” He kneels down next to Rock and pets her back. ”He wasn't touching you inappropriately, was he?”
Fenrir flicks Oleander's forehead. ”I wasn't doing that, you perverted deer,” Fenrir says.
”You never know, Fenny. You're basically part wolf and Rock there is a wolf, so I have no idea what you might be doing while none of us are around to protect Rock!”
”I'm pretty sure I'm the one who has to protect Rock from you if anything.”
”Pfftttt, I've got Corwin to assault. Did you see his sleeping face down there? He's so cute!”
”Anyways,” Fenrir changes the subject, ”we're going to have a new crewmember.”
”Oh, really?”
”Yeah. Aiko. I've told you about her before, right?”
”Yeah. How'd you find her? Were you still looking?” Oleander asks, his tone more serious now.
”Oh, no. It turns out that she was Serra's friend, and I also bumped into her on the street which made her turn into a stalker I guess.”
”Oh.” Oleander stares blankly at Fenrir. ”So… your childhood friend is suddenly back in your life and now she's a stalker? This sounds like one of those shows you watch. Are you just messing with me?”
”Ask Serra or Cass if you don't believe me.”
Oleander rubs his forehead and sighs. ”Another problem girl. Why can't you just find normal girls? Or cute boys. We need more men here!”
”You already have Corwin.”
”But we both want some beefcakes to look at!”
”Alright, after Aiko, I'll try to find some big muscle men for you two. Then Tabitha is probably going to request a mecha or something since everybody else is getting what they want.”
”What's a mecha again?”
”Giant fighting robot, basically.”
”That would be pretty cool, especially if it looks like a big guy with huge muscles.”
”Alright, we'll satisfy you both at once by getting a mecha that looks like a giant bodybuilder.”
”Now we're talking! So, when's the stalker joining us?”
”Uhh, I'm supposed to be here figuring out where we are so I can tell her where to spawn her character at, but I figured that it's alright if I spend some time fishing and relaxing with Rod and Rock first. Gotta give them some attention.”
”And you have to give me attention!”
”What do you think I'm doing?”
Oleander giggles and happily skips around with his hands behind his back.
But, then he stops his happy and playful skipping to turn serious. ”Hear anything from Bo—Viktor?” Oleander asks.
