The kiss had taken Dusty a little off guard. Delivered swiftly, Caelan ecstatic about his catch, he didn't have long to really dwell on it or the sudden spark of arousal it brought forward. He'd been focused before, anchoring Caelan and curious about what was on the end of the line, he'd not really realized what the proximity was doing to him. Caelan's boasts brought a smile to his lips, and he eventually found the tool box to unhook the fish. After Caelan was successful, Dusty dropped it into the water alongside the catfish. After, Dusty moved them quietly through the riverways, allowing Caelan opportunity to hone his fishing skill mostly as Dusty drank. By the end of it, they had themselves a pretty full livewell.<br/><br/>"Gonna be eatin' more dan fruit and greens," Dusty commented, pleased with the day. Caelan had caught most of it anyway, and Dusty had already told him he could take the full days catch in trade for the fruit he'd brought form the garden. Dusty lived on the water, and there was plenty he had dried at home. He just needed to teach Caelan how to filet and then smoke anything extra so it would preserve. Dusty have moved them out to a quieter part of the river, to an open reservoir that had better visibility. Not much life in terms of fishing, but that also meant there was less likely to be predators hanging about as well. He figured it would be a good spot for Caelan's first lesson.<br/><br/>"Swam in this spot a lot when I was younger. Used to be more folk dat live out here." He pointed to a few dilapidated shacks that were hidden behind the mangroves. Dusty tied the boat to a leaning and rickety dock that extended out to the deeper parts of the reservoir. He removed his shirt, jeans, and shoes before he dove into the water from the other side of the boat. The water was cool and refreshing. He resurfaced expectantly, motioning for Caelan to join him and extending a hand at the same time. Shallow enough water where the young man could stand wouldn't teach him much of anything.<br/><br/>"Won't let you drown," Dusty promised.
