*Kade laughed slightly. A rare occurance, to be sure, and he was a bit surprised himself that he had.* "Your kidding, right? I wouldn't understand a word of your explanation, I'm sure." *True enough; when explaining things, Linx tended to talk about stuff that the other beast had no idea what half of the words he was using even meant.*

"Well... That, too, but I try to be more polite than to just say that!" Linx hated touching on the topic of vocabulary. Very few beasts he knew understood the concept of a spigot, so it was obviously too much to ask when it came to the concept of a steam engine, gear array and screw propellers. It hindered explanation of his inventions drastically, and ended up with his never talking about how things worked unless he had to.

*Kade just looked at Linx for a second.* "If you just really want to start explaining a concept that is way beyond my grasp then go ahead, be my guest. Either that or you could come up with a new topic of conversation; I'm not so good at that myself, you know." *He said jokingly, knowing full and well that he was only speaking truth in those words.*

"Well, how about we talk about... I dunno, whatever we talk about, can we get away from the river? Way too much noise." Indeed, the current was forcing him to talk much more loudly than he should have had to. One problem with the dock was that the water struck the pier's pillars all the time and it just had to do so with a lot of sound.

*Kade turned and almost started off before remembering that he had to wait for Linx to do so as well.* "That's fine by me... wait, did you say river? This is a sea if I've ever seen one... I really don't think I'm mistaken on this one."
OOC: Just so you know, I'm on yim right now.

"Then you've never seen a sea," Linx replied flatly. "We're on a river. The fort dock is up past the estuary. Have you been drinking, Kade?" This was actually a sincere question. There was little else that would cause such a ridiculous mixing up of terms. Maybe he got really drunk and... What...
