Edric was pleased that Molly seemed to have time to keep him company. He did not like eating alone as many assumed; he just didn't have many friends who had the time to have dinner with him.
He shook his head in reply to her question, gestured for her to join him with one hand, and forked another spoonful of food into his mouth. After properly chewing and swallowing, he took a sip of ale to wash it down. Mmm.
"I am not sure about the others, but I don't use a boat. My father taught me how to fish." he paused, smiling sadly before continuing, "I use a series of baited rods. The rods are each suspended on a forked branch erected on the ground. Then I just wait by until the fishes come. It's slow and not the best way, but I don't need a huge catch, especially for winter when it's harder; I've preserved some from the last hunt."
