"I suppose it is true." Jada agreed doubtfully, looking at the middle of the boat. It looked much wider, and there were two ends to keep it balanced. Still, if she bluerider had spent much time with boats, he must certainly know what he was talking about. Still, the Harper found herself scooting the length of the boat slowly, inch by inch, until she was closer to him. Would she be able to get around him? Probably not. It wasn't as though they were far out yet; she could have him turn around. Or she should have just taken the middle in the first place.
Jada leaned in towards R'nd, pressing her lips to his ear, whispering. "I can bait my own hook if that would make this all a little better for you. I just don't have the experience is all, and I'm afraid I won't do it right the first time I try. I don't want to embarass myself." That much, at least, was true. She really didn't want to bait her won hook at all, but R'nd deserved to try and enjoy himself at least a little, without catering to the needs of two needy young people. Besides, if she did it herself, then maybe it would be the shame that Kerrin would need in order to follow in her example. That would certainly make this trip more enjoyable for everyone involved.
She glanced at Kerrin, then gave R'nd a pointed look. She worked with him, he could work with her, and things would go easier for everyone. Even if she would have to touch disgusting, wriggly little creatures.
