[ti]private[/ti]It's A Shore Thing

Listen... it's not like he had intended to take part in this Valentine's Day themed fishing event with ibis of all people. It's not like there's some hidden romantic motive here. In fact, that couldn't be further from the case, and the mere thought of all the jokes and flirty comments Ibis will doubtlessly inevitably make has our poor Muin wanting to turn back just as he reaches the end of Cerulean Street and steps onto the warm sand of the beach.

The ferry to Beta Island awaits at the settlement's small dock, and in the distance, the smaller island with its tall Rookery can be seen clearly. Muin intends to go to neither of these places today. His only intent is to take a small rowboat and go fishing not far from the shore... With Ibis... because the event apparently requires having a partner, since it's Valentine's Day themed and all.

Let's be clear, this hadn't been his idea, and when waiting for the Kindler, he takes a deep breath — bracing himself.
