Tripping: Pesca

[Dante]

Our renowned king of all jinxes have traveled very far away and came landing in Kumo. Coming from Gradia, he managed to be alive after being tripping and falling on some places. Dante sighed as his gaze landed on the green grassy land, it was new to him for having been at a place that is oriental.

"Oya... a river!" he pointed to no one as he scurried his way to where the bluish and neatest river he have seen just by now. With his backpack that has his necessities and his trustworthy violin case on his left shoulder, he strides his way but not before tripping at the small rock.

He groaned, falling a bit, but still continued to stride his way. Luckily, his face was unscathed, grinning he pulled his backpack down on the ground, followed by his violin case. He sighed, please as he once again took off his shoes and feel the soft grasses on his toes. He plops on the ground and search for a fishing rod on his backpack. "Now... time for eating!" he chirped as he found his fish rod, placing a... chocolate?

Idiotically speaking, no wonder it would take too long because of his bait... which is a chocolate. He swings it away and plops! Onto the river... "Ahh... it would be great if I could have a big fish to munch!" he thought optimistically, and thought of a big milk fish or even some tuna. And that is so impossible... he's only at a river.

Just as the chocolate bait was thrown off into the river, specifically the moment when the piece of heavenly delight even touched the surface of the water, a young boy immediately swooped down from nowhere and splashed into the river, right at the direction of the the chocolate bait.

It takes a short silent moment to register what just happened. An 8-year-old boy, who apparently loves candies of any kind (possibly passed down from his candy-maniac father) had deliberately jumped in the river with such audacity, it's almost difficult to replay back of what just happened. Said boy then popped his head back up innocently enough, floating on the water a bit, realized he can't swim, and immediately grabbed hold of the unlucky man's fishing thread as if it's a life line.

"Ow.." Despite the clear panic his actions is, his tone of voice seems to be completely calm and controlled. The reason of that unemotional utter of pain is because this child had apparently attempted to grab hold of the piece of chocolate hanging by the hook with his hand....and had pierced his whole hand through the hook. Or, technically, the hook pierced through his palm and out in the back.

The massive blood that hazed the river didn't seem to put much emphasis on the child's fear factor though, he's just focused in trying not to drown.

[Dante]

Dante is humming a happy song while thinking of big fishes he so get from his fishing rod. His eyes were closed at the moment, savoring the feeling of those grilled fishes. But just as he opened his eyes, a shocked, stunned and dumbed look was casted upon his face. A kid jumps to the lake towards his fishing rod... trying to get the chocolate on the said poke hook.

He squeaks, and yelped as the boy grabbed the hooked and what comes next is he tripped because of the grip the boy have made. "Ack!" he fall on the ground, face planted as he whined. But seeing the blood coming from the boy's hand due to his hook. Panic ran across his face as he stood and stumble across the lake, diving in it to save the boy.

"H-Here... I'll get you!" he blurted, swimming at the direction of the boy. He raised the kid for him not to drown and drank too much of the water. "Glad you're safe from drowning... though," he murmured as he look at the bleeding hand of the kid. He and the kid were at the grassy ground now, looking worriedly at the hand... he wanted to help the kid.

He smiled assuring, offering his hand, "Let me aid that bleeding hand of yours... I can fix that," he blurted out, offering his help.

All the while when the owner of the fishing hook was panicking, Sean was actually trying to pull the hook off of his hand, but since he's part-drowning and the water makes it all the more harder for him to attempt such a feat.

To be frank, the little boy is sinking.

A sudden force pulled him up out of the blue, and when Sean opened his eyes, he realized he's back on land again. So the child breathes in the air through both his mouth and nose, glad that he's out of the water.

The stinging pain on his palm made him realized that he still haven't pulled the hook out yet. Sean looked away from his bleeding hand, and his eyes met upon a stranger who's completely wet as he is.

Sean didn't respond to him though, merely looking at his face and memorizing how he looks like is enough. He reverted his attention back to his shivering hand and let out a sharp sigh.

'This...is going to hurt.'

Without warning, the little boy clutched the hook using his free hand, and slowly but carefully pulling it out of his skin and flesh, cautious to not cut himself more by moving his hand accordingly with the shape of the hook as he slides the metal off.

"Nnggghh.....!!" His head is down, his jaw clenching tight to hold the pain, and his eyes are squinted close. It pains him so much, he's actually whimpering and tears escaped his tightly closed eyes.

Once the thing is out, Sean just hang his bleeding hand in the air, his whole body quivering wildly, especially that hand of his. The air stings the wound even more, but Sean just took a deep breath, then finally faces the stranger.

"..Thank you for saving me." There isn't the tiniest hint of appreciation in his voice, but it's apparent the boy is just trying to sound professional. Too bad he forgot to wipe his tears off.

"I..I'm sorry for..this. I got blood on it.." Sean showed the stranger the bloody hook he just pulled out of his hand.

[Dante]

Dante's left eye twitch as he look at the bleeding hand of the kid, he look sheepishly at the boy; laughing nervously. "That was partly my fault of you being hurt though..." he let out apologetically; he slowly and gently took a hold of the boy's hand. Grimly looking at the hand.

"Ahh... what have I gotten into?" he asks to his self looking at the hand.

He suddenly look at the hook and get it; so there would be no danger crossing. But we are talking about the jinx guy, so instead of getting then hook at the side he took it at the edge hook. His eyes widen in surprised and pain as the edge of the hook stabbed his thumb. Due to panic, he started wiggling as the hook was stabbed on his thumb.

"Waaahhh!!!" as Dante started panicking, he started to stand up and run in circle; leaving the kid sat there, stupefied. Running in circles, he never noticed the small bump towards him, making him trip and fall face first.

"Ahi (Ouch)"
