Adam took them then place them inside the house then got the leaf. He moved quickly back to to Lean with it and waited for him to get back on. "Wow they were so big how did you find them?" Then he check over Lean hands. "They didn't bite you to badly did they?"
|
Léan's hands were clear this time. "A little ways out..." He took his own crab and nibbled on the shell, to see if it was worth eating any of it. Usually the shells of King Crabs were nice and nutritious, but tasted awful.
|
Once Adam and Lean where back inside Adam started to pull out the meat and warm it a little. He didn't know what to do with the his shell. "You eat the shells??" He asked seeing Lean nibbling on the shell. Adam moved his shell closer to Lean. "You can eat my shell too if you want because human can not eat the shells. So if you can then if won't go to waste." Adam touch the meat to make sure it was warm then started to eat it. "Soo very good... this is tasty. Wow you out done your self this time."
|
Léan took the offered shell, pleasantly. "Most of the time, I can't stomach them. But they provide us with lots of nutrition..." He nibbled more on his shell before pulling the meat out as well, and eating that first. "Mm..."
|
"So it is kind of like us eatting veggies. We hate them but they do alot of good for our bodies." He smiled as he ate the meat of his crab. "think I got an idea for useing the pinchers of one of the crabs. They are shape right think we could use them for a knife to cut things with?"
|
"You could. But you would have to deal with the smell...the shell rots, like the body does..." Léan shifted slightly while he ate. "You might want to use something else, like stone, to make a weapon of some sort."
|
"I guess so I just didn't think of the shell rotting." He laughed and took another bite of the crab meat. "Yeah I'll try to sharpen a stone some time later just to day to nice to think of building and making weapons. After we ate we could do some thing together." He smiled. "Oh I made more blankets for my bed could you used a leaf or sea weed blanket. Those I do know seaweed stinks but not sure what merpeople use to keep warm or comfty under the water."
|
Léan stretched, slightly, and then yawned. "Well...let's see. Usually, I just curl myself up real tightly. I don't often use blankets of any kind..." He paused, then tilted his head. "What do you want to do together? Lessons?"
|
"Oh I see but that dosen't sound to comfy you don't curl up in seaweed or some thing for a nice bedding?" Adam wonder what he could do to make Lean have a more comfertble sleep. The smiled as he had side track back on to another topic. "Well we could but isn't there some thing else we could do together after that? I mena of course we have to do lesson but I want to get to know you better." He smiled.
|
"Sometimes. Soft sand is usually all I need..." Léan revealed, honestly. "What is there to do, here? Do you have any ideas?" he asked, still curious. Most of his ideas involved water or being underwater, so...if Adam had any better ideas, it would be useful to hear them.
|
"I don't know" he laugehd at this idea. "Maybe make sand castle or make up a game to play." then he laughed. "Well I used to see the other kids playing marko poleo. Its a game where you have to the persn who is it go under water count to 10 with there eyes closed they keep there eyes close when they come back up. then they say marko and have to find the person who says poleo in the water. The person who not it can go out on to the land. But if the person who say marko called fish out of water the person calling poleo is automactly it. What do you think?"
|
Léan seemed intrigued by his last idea. "...That actually sounds interesting. We can do that, if you'd like. But...lessons afterward. You still need your lessons..."
|
"Ok then It sound like a lot of fun why don't we combin lesson and the game. When in the water I actually have to swim instead of touching the bottom if I touch the bottom you can call fish on the bottom." He laughed. "But you need to stay in the swallows when I am it ok because it will be hard for me to swiming with my eyes close to find you in the deeper waters ok?"
|
Léan nodded, agreeably. "All right...I'm ready whenever you are." He seemed excited about their game. Combining lessons with fun was sure to make Adam a little more eager about learning how to swim. It was easier for he himself to learn while having fun.
|
Adam finshed up his food then smiled. "LEts let our food settle a little. I hear if you go swiming right after eatting your going to get cramps in your body." He was repeating an old wife tails that he heard the adult say back home to his friends when they wanted to swim after just eating.
|
"Not in my case," Léan replied, semi-smugly. "I doubt it's the case for you, either...as long as you treat your stomach gently while you swim..."
|
"Ok I guess we can try this but if I say I get a cramp could you help me out of the water quickly?" Adam said before picking up the leaf for Lean to hope up on. "I think this leaf is about dead but I think it could make the last trip before I use another ok?"(night)
|
"Sure...let's go..." Léan thought him having a cramp would be funny, but he didn't say anything. He just imagined him flailing in knee-deep water. He eased himself onto the leaf.
|
Adam pulled Léan down to the shore just in time when the just ripped apart. He laughed a little. "I guess we can't use this one again. You know I was thinking of a better sled any ways. I'll have to work on it another time." Adam step in the water and dipped under to get used to the water. It was cold to her at first but he got usest to quickly. "Ok who it first would you like to be?"
|
"I suppose I will go under first..." Léan mused, still somewhat unsure of what the game entailed. "How long do I stay under again? And I keep my eyes closed when I come up?"
|
"You count to 10 then come back up. Yes the whole time you keep your eyes close." Adam smiled. "Those making you it first its almost a sure bet I'll be it quickly once you come up. But it will be fun to chase you." He smiled. "Have any other quesitons about the game Lean?"
|
Léan shook his head, amused. "All right. I'll go under, then..." Léan slid under the water, closing his eyes as instructed. He began the count to ten in his head.
|
Adam tried to get as far as he could away from Lean before he would come back up. He was swiming in the shallows just down along the shore line of the island.
|
When Léan did come back up, he swam around in a few slow circles. "...What am I supposed to say again...? Marco?" he called out, curiously.
|
"Poleo" Adam say faintly trying to be as quite as he could while still playing the game and being hear. He lept doggy paddling trying to still get away from Lean those he know he was out class in the swiming department there.
