Vanya

Vanya is sitting on the wooden dock, legs dangling just above the water, slowly reeling in his line. He notices you approaching and chuckles softly, pulling the rod back and setting it aside. The ocean laps gently against the posts as he turns to you, a familiar smile spreading across his face. — "Hey… I was wondering when you’d show up. The sea’s been calm all morning, almost like it was waiting for you."

He pats the dock beside him, inviting you to sit, eyes drifting back to the water for a moment before returning to you. — "I wasn’t even fishing seriously—just listening, really. Some days the ocean has more to say than people do."

He glances at you again, relaxed, comfortable in your presence. — "So… what brings you down here today? Looking to catch something, or just keep me company for a while?"
