Cadaver's aspirations were adorably sweet. Exploring the big blue ocean on a boat of his own~ It sounded like something out of a child's story that should be told at bedtime. Of course the boy's desire to be like his father was also cute. "You'd like to be a doctor like your father? That's a pretty touch job. Are you sure you're up to it? You'll have to do quite a lot of studying" Although Inge was no expert on the qualifications of a doctor he was sure that you needed a fair deal of training and such - after all, it was a job where you could hold people's lives in your hands. But so as not to make the boy fret about the difficulty and ruin his plans he smiled and said; "But luckily enough for you, your father is a doctor and can start helping you to learn! So already you're ahead of the game!"
Again he laughed when he saw Cadaver's feeble attempt at catching fish. Maybe he could teach the kid something? Wading over to where Cadaver stood he motioned for the boy to be still. He crouched low to the water and watched the flickers of silver under the surface. Yes, they were a lot smaller than the fish he was used to catching.. But surely the same tactic would work, it's just have to be applied on a smaller scale. Nodding to himself Inge dipped his hands into the water.
Instantly the fish scatted, just as they had when Cadaver had made a grab at them. However, rather than withdrawing his hands he let them hang in the water, unmoving and causing minimal ripples. Sure enough the fish slowly returned till they also hung in the water, practically unaware of Inge's hands in their midst. He cocked his head to wink at Cadaver - pleased that the trick had worked. Then quick as a flash he closed a hand around one of the tiny silver slithers and pulled it out of the water. (The technique was like putting out the nets to catch fish at sea, they'd practically be unaware of the nets presence until they were drawn in!)
"Years of practice makes perfect." He exclaimed, holding out his hand. Cupping in his palm was the fish, wiggling away and glinting in the dappled sunlight.

The fish wiggled in Inge's palm as Cadaver touched it, it's tiny mouth was already gasping for breath and Inge uncupped his hands dropping the slither of silver back into the water. The plop of it entering the water caused ripples that disturbed the other fish, but after recovering from being taken from the water the fish that Inge had held flicked it's tail and darted off to join them, apparently no worse for wear after it's capture. Inge smiled, fish were generally quite hardy little critters, he could see how cleverly designed they were. Every single one of them a gift of the gods to man to fill the seas with shimmering shoals. "Pretty indeed. If you want to see more fish, maybe you'll see me and my father at the market when you go to find the meaning of your dream?" He chuckled and tapped his nose, "you'll find your way to us by the fishy scent."
"Cada!"
Inge cocked his head, listening to the call. Obviously Cadaver's father was looking for him. He smiled warmly at the boy as he gathered his stuff. "It was nice to have met you." And he was sincerly telling the truth. Despite the fact the boy must've been at least five or six years younger than him, their conversation had been interesting and the time spent with him worthwhile - better than wandering aimlessly round the wooded paths at the very least..
He raised a hand and waved as Cadaver put on his hoody to leave. "Bye Cadaver. Try and find us at the market.. Then maybe we can play again? I could show you my father's boat?" He grinned and added; "And remember, if your pa asks why you're wet. You can't blame it on me!"
