[Hezekiah Finch]

Sorry about the wait.

“I'm Hezekiah,” he supplied, just as quietly as the younger boy. For the first time since he had been taken in by Inferni, a small smile graced his usually stoic features. Now that they had been acquainted, it was time to get into place and perhaps their assault on the silvery fish in the salty sea. Though he did not join Mason on the rocks, Hezekiah crouched carefully and leaned against them all the same to put himself eye-level with his newfound friend, mindful of the bandaged wound at his side as he did so, and peered out at the rolling shallow waters.

“Look, they're gathering again. They think we're gone,” he said, gesturing with one hand ever so slightly over the top of the rough stone as the waves pushed the fish to-and-fro. He turned his attention back to Mason with an encouraging grin. “Are you ready?” If the fish were as stupid as Hezekiah believed them to be, their first shot didn't have to be the best. It would have been fantastic, but there was a logical part of his mind that ruled against the likelihood that they'd be straight A fish-catchers right off the bat.

But they'd find out in a matter of seconds.
