There really was a guy fishing out here. Extraordinary! Karkat didn't know what to think. On the one hand, it wasn't as though fishing in Abendstern was completely illegal. But it still was kind of a dick-move. At least he thought so. Weren't the kingdoms trying to reconcile? Morgenstern was made up of more than just merfolk, you know!

...But who was he? Some Animal Rights activist? Not really. He was merely annoyed. Karkat was usually annoyed by something, or other. He was already upset that he had to leave the training area earlier, and this fisherman and his hook were just the next things on his shit list. Dave was going to receive the brunt of Karkat's anger, whether he liked it or not.

With a huff, Karkat reached around to yank out his hook. Unfortunately, his claws were getting in the way. And look at all this blood, man. The hook only pierced a fin, and yet there was still blood. More annoying things.

"Maybe you shouldn't fish if you're so bad at it," the merman hissed, still fumbling with the hook. He was a good distance away from the dock, but close enough that he could direct his yells at Dave. "The last thing we need is a clumsy as fuck human picking off our people by accident!"
