Ben's out back by the lake today, stretched out beneath a tree near the lake's edge and fishing. His eyes are closed and you could mistake his fish calls for snoring but that's okay.

Totally botherable if you want to say "Hi", just don't scare the fish.

Knox, taking a walk, is reminded of the joke about where a 800 pound gorilla sleeps. The answer should be revised, he thinks, to "wherever he wants, assuming that Ben Grimm isn't there first."

He wonders if you should wake someone that big, no matter how friendly he is when awake.

Unfortunately for Ben, the fish (or whatever they are) in the lake don't care for such musings. The string tied to Ben's foot jerks and Ben is pulled into the lake so suddenly that he doesn't wake up until he's in the water.

Soon enough, however, he surfaces and, sputtering and gasping, he climbs back onto shore. "What the heck was that?!?!?"

[gotham_knocking]

"Errrr." He didn't expect that. "I think it was Moby Dick."

[ever_lovin]

"Wha?" Ben says sagely. He hadn't seen Knox and thought he was alone. "Oh hey Knox, how ya doin'?"

Safely back on shore Ben turns to look at the lake, which now is as smooth as a mirror. "That was just freaky. Maybe I need a fishin' license after all?"

A large creature landed silently to stand above him.

"You blockin' my sun fer any particular reason?" Ben asks.

[shinigami_rem]

Rem shrugged and moved to loom near him.

[ever_lovin]

"Thanks," Ben says and cracks open an eye. "Oh hey...Rem isn't it?"

A shadow might fall over Ben's prone form as Hagrid, spotting...whatever it is...lying on the shore of the lake, comes over to investigate.

He's not particularly interested in getting into a fight with a troll, or whatever else this might be, so he resists the urge to poke it or nudge it with his boot.

He stands there scratching his beard, somewhat indecisive.

[ever_lovin]

Someone scratching their beard is not normally very loud but when that someone is half giant, well then it's a different story.

"Shhh...don't scare the fish," Ben whispers without opening his eyes.

[xhagridx]

"Er...sorry. Yer fishin with yer foot?"

He tries to keep his voice low.

[ever_lovin]

"Didn't have a pole and didn't wanna go back in ta the bar and get one," he explains. "Is that a problem? I don't need a fishin' license do I?"
