It felt like his whole life had revolved around fishing. To be fair, it had until he was Searched and it was a rather important means of survival during exile, and even after Katila’s creation he was rotated into the chore a fair bit. So R’nd supposed it was a major part of his life. He had to laugh at how that turned out for him considering he took little joy from the task as a child and found being Searched as a way out of that life. Still, he was a dutiful worker and while everyone liked to complain when the new chore assignments came out, and he was no exception, R’nd still followed his orders, knowing there had to be some sort of method behind the madness of it all.
At least this time he had Kerrin shuffled into the mix. It was a rarity when they were put together, no doubt whoever was in charge purposely tried to keep friends apart to bring as little enjoyment to the process as possible. Or maybe it was just the two of them that had orders against them given how distracted they could become with their pranks on each other and the occasional passerby. Not that the weyrbrat was all that helpful. Most chores they shared broke down into R’nd working while Kerrin goofed off and Ayyonth supervised from the shade or sun depending on his mood that day. This time would be different as Kerrin would be trapped on a boat with him where R’nd hoped he could get the guy to at least feign interest in the utterly boring task.
R’nd surveyed the tools of the trade he had already placed in the boat and was satisfied they should have everything they would need for a successful haul provided their patience and attention spans could last long enough. Now all he had to do was get Kerrin into the boat, which was easier said than done. “Are you going to do this the easy and dignified way or will I have to pick you up and toss you in there so we can get this outing started and finished in record time?” Not far down the beach, already comfortably curled up in the warm sand, Ayyonth rumbled his amusement at the two.
