Video
[morning of day three. there are clouds out and Allen loves them. he's pretty much given up on shirts and is just grimly bearing with his bright pink sunburn. the video shows him, and what he's working in his hands -- one dark red and exoskeletal -- is some thick grass, weaving several strands together to make a rope. he has a pretty decent amount of it. he's been working on it since the first day]

I feel really strongly that we should make a net so that we can catch more fish. [so that he can starve less. paaaause] But it's taking longer than I'd like. I don't suppose anyone else has any rope to contribute... [he trails off, staring at the water. it looks so cool and blue and inviting. and full of fish]

...You know, never mind. [shoving himself up and steeling his pink-and-red shoulders] Does anyone know how to hand-fish?

[except, that means she gets to look at Allen's beautiful arm, and her eyes almost pop out of her head]

--Y-your arm!! Did you fall into the bonfire yesterday?!

[everwalking]

Oh-- No! It's all right! It's just like this. [he holds up his hands to sort of ward off her reaction, which helpfully also brings the oddity front and center] I'm sorry, I usually try to hide it, but considering the situation...

[her eyes immediately lock onto it because she's still not sure if it's horribly burned or not, but no -- it's not really a burn. it's weird?! wait, for all she knew, he might have had a tragic accident and her question could be bringing up horrible, painful memories--]

You don't have to hide it!! I'm sorry I yelled, I was just a little surprised -- [she realizes that she's still staring at his arm, and hastily looks at the net. DON'T STARE PETUNIA!!] Wow, your knots look very nice! Those are very tight-looking knots...

[everwalking]

[ehe. scratching his cheek and lowering his arms. he will pretend that is a graceful topic change, then] Yes, ah-- Thank you. I'm sure professionals would laugh but I have a small amount of training in practical things like tying knots... You could do it too, though, they're not very hard.

[yes running with it, his arm is still on the back of her mind, but she's just as eager to pursue this weird change in subject]

Do you think so? I used to tie fishing knots when I was little, but I wasn't very good. [her attempt to learn what Elijah liked to do even if it meant making horrible fishing knots] Did you have to make nets like this while you were traveling?

[everwalking]

Very rarely. I'm sort of figuring it out as I go along. [ehe] But after a few days I think I have the knack for it!

So you've been fishing before, then?
