Hazuki frowned at his words, he was right. They still hadn't a thing to eat inside the castle and she didn't know when they would get anything again. Laharl was always so busy fighting off competition for the throne that he was barely around and who knows what Etna was off doing. She decided that she would stick it out and help him catch some fish.
"Ok... Fishing it is!" She spouted the words out as cheerfully as possible, keeping herself wrapped in his poncho; though it was wet it was better than nothing. She looked about and realized she had lost the spear, her eyes catching a glimpse of it as it sank into the icy waters. "I.. I lost the spear! Now what will we catch them with?" She mumbled to herself, nearly in tears at how much she had failed that day, once again slumping down into the snow.

If things were to get worse, a Hellseal tossed out the spear. It then landed by Olber's feet as he sweat dropped. He picked it up.
"Uh.. this?" HE asked. He handed the spear to his friend.
"That was handy.. so.. shall we fish?" HE asked, feeling his stomach growl.

Hazuki blinked in surprise, her head nodding in dumbfounded agreement at his words. It was rare to see hellseals around here, especially this time of year. It may have been freezing, but it was summertime in the Netherworld and hellseals usually hibernated during that time, completely opposite of other creatures. Perhaps the spear had disrupted it's sleep, so it decided to get rid of it. She had no clue what had happened, but she was glad it did.
"Uh.. Yeah. Fishing." She nodded again, accepting the spear from her friend and she stepped closer to the edge of the water. "I've never done this before.." She admitted quietly, her eyes scanning the water for any movement. When she finally saw a flash of color, she jabbed the spear into the water as quickly as she could, pulling it back out slowly; expecting another failure.
"I got one!" She cried out happily as she held the spear up, showing it to Olber and she smiled widely as the mid-sized fish wriggled on the end of the pole. It wasn't the largest she had seen, but it wasn't the smallest either. "You try!" She peeled the fish from the pointed end of the spear, dropping it into the container that she had brought along for the occasion and she handed the now empty spear back to her friend.

Olber grined and held the spear in his hands. He then thrusted the water, hoping to spear a fish. He did, a fairly large hellfish.
"Woah..!" He exclaimed excitely. "Cool!" His eyes sparkled as he pointed at his prize catch. He tipped up his hat and struck a victory pose. He plopped the fish in the container and twirled the spear.

Hazuki clapped as Olber brought out a much larger fish than her own fairly easily; she was impressed. She watched at the fish wriggled in the bucket, ducking to the side as the spinning spear nearly beaned her in the side of the head.
"Heyyy,. Careful with that!" She joked, snatching it from him and taking another stab at catching a fish. This time she wasn't as lucky, only snagging two fish smaller than her first catch, but they were still large enough to eat. "Want to get a few more and head back?"

Boogie walks along the river, watching how underneath a firm and solid appearance there is great turbulence and chaos. When he comes across a portion of the river where the surface is broken up, he uses the floating piece of ice for target practice. Boogie stands straight and concentrates, a splinter of ice flies and misses the mark. Boogie frowns but remains unfettered, he concentrates again and another sliver of ice takes flight. This shot grazes by and the floating ice grows slightly. He decides to concentrate once more and this time he strikes his target square.
Boogie makes a faint smile as he adjusts his collar. He continues along the river when he spots a succibus and a scout spear fishing. He could not recall whether he knew them or not, so he decided it was best that he make first contact before they could get the jump on him should they be hostile. He approaches casually, and at a safe distance he waves to them, "Hello, they call me Boogie."

Olber's eyes lit up as he smiled. He crossed his arms as he caught another large fish. He then looked at the many they just caught.
"Heh heh... This would keep us happy!" He crowed. He pulled his goggles around his neck and gave a thumbs up. However.. He heard someone call out.
"Boogie?" He asked, "Are y'all new?" He gave a huge smile and ran over to Boogie.

Hazuki grinned as more and more fish filled their bucket, as it was finally stuffed she clapped her hands together and thought of how happy Laharl would be that she had gotten lots of food for them to eat, but she hadn't done it alone. She had help from a new friend, strange as it was she felt closer to him than she had ever felt to Laharl; maybe it was because Laharl was always scolding her or ignoring her...
"Eh.. Oh, hello." Hazuki was snapped out of her thoughts as she heard another new voice; the third one of the day and she blinked her eyes several times as she studied him. "Where did you come from?"

"I've been lurking around here in order to train. I've recently enlisted to serve under Laharl," Boogie eyes them cautiously as he utters his allegience. He glances over the bucket of fish and decides to probe with small talk, "That's quite a bounty you have there. How do you like your fish prepared?"
He looks at the large smile on the scout's face, "But where are my manners?" Boogie extends his hand, "It is a pleasure to meet you."

Hazuki smiled as she heard his spoken words, he was another one of them; a vassal to her master, Laharl. She nodded her head to the bucket as he commented on the amount of fish they had collected and she pressed a nailed finger to her chin, pondering for a moment.
"I kind of like them raw.." She mumbled her response, looking at the two males as she spoke; suddenly feeling self-conscious. "Umm.. We should probably head back, Laharl will be home soon and.. it would nice to have dinner ready for him." She spouted out the quickest excuse she could think of and snatched up the bucket, making her way back toward the portal.
