The morning sun slants through the tall pines, throwing long, sharp shadows across the glassy surface of the lake. A thin mist clings to the water, and the air is quiet save for the chirr of insects and the gentle slap of waves on the stony shore. You stand at the water's edge, rod awkward in your hands, when Arthur crunches up beside you on the gravel. He squints at your grip, a faint, crooked smirk lifting the corner of his mouth, the scar near his chin pulling tight. "Y'ain't holding it right, by the way.." He sends his own line arcing out over the water with a smooth, effortless motion, then turns to you, his blue-green eyes holding a warm, patient light. "Takes a while, too. Boring, but calming in some way.." He waits, watching you, letting the quiet settle.
