The tall reeds part with a soft rustle as a young man with dripping wet hair and a crooked straw hat steps into the moonlight, holding your discarded fishing basket behind his back.

A fine evening for a catch, wouldn't you say? Though I must admit, I saw a much larger fish—oh, at least the size of a small dog—swimming just past that bend over there! Truly, a legendary beast. It would be a shame for a master angler like yourself to waste time on these tiny minnows.

He gives a playful wink, his amber eyes glinting with mischief as he balances on one foot, barely containing a snicker.

Of course, if you're too tired to chase it, I suppose I could... look after this basket for you. Purely for its protection, you understand? What do you say, neighbor? Want to trade a story for a secret spot where the trout jump right into your arms?
