Nami was more than happy to demonstrate just what she meant, emerging from the water looking quite pleased with herself. She knew if any of Tojo-Kai's youngest were interested in fishing that they'd master the art, all in due time! It was hard not to think back on her earliest childhood memories of fishing, and how much patience she had to practice waiting for the fish to swim to just the right spot to snatch one out of the water.

Becoming a good fisherwolf definitely took patient as well as practice, and having a good handle on swimming was a good start. Nami nodded as Jiro explained he'd gotten to swim in the creeks and ponds nearby before being allowed into the bay, which made sense. "Yes, he's right about that. Sometimes water like this can trick you. It might not look very dangerous but those tides can pull you further out without you realizing - you always want to be careful near the ocean, and never swim out too far," she explained, nodding carefully so that he might understand these waters weren't the type to play about it.

Obviously there were exceptions to that rule, but these kids were too young to be swimming far from the shore. Better instill a sense of danger in them now, at least until they were old enough to understand their own limits better.

Nami nodded enthusiastically to his question. "Of course! The tide looks like it's coming in now, so it's a good time to fish," she said, twisting her head around to examine the seaweed that lined the beach, though the water was beginning to slowly creep further in. "Just don't go out much further than this, but try to grab a fish! If you fail, just keep trying. The fish won't swim away forever," she added with a grin. Fishing was different than hunting land creatures in many ways, but she was grateful the ever-moving nature of the water made it so that prey often circled back around sooner rather than later.
