Finally got around to reading my physical copy of the second volume of LCF that I got for Christmas. I'm reading the scene where Pasteon first meets Cale and like wtf, Cale is so funny. This man doesn't explain shit-
Pasteon: *currently dying due to mermaid poison*
Cale: *tells Pasteon to go to sleep, dunks him in water, and gets Raon to get a mermaid arm off one of their corpses*
Pasteon: *later: wakes up in an unfamiliar room, looks up, and sees this man with red hair holding a knife above his head ready to stab*
Cale: Relax 😌 *stabs the mermaid arm, drips the blood onto Pasteon's wound and then tells him to drink it*
PASTEON DOESNT EVEN KNOW CALE'S NAME-
I also find it so funny that he also doesn't explain shit to Raon, even when Cale goes "dunk him in the water" and Raon reasonably questions if Cale is trying to drown this dying man after promising to save him- Poor child. Cale, please explain things better. I know you won't because you've learned to be self-sufficient to a harmful degreee but please-
Also also
The fact that Cale clocked that Pasteon was not only a whale tribe person, not only a half-blood but also connected the dots fast enough to figure out that this half-blood whale person was the dead prince mentioned in passing to Lock in BoAH- HE FIGURES IT OUT IN ONE PAGE, AND WE DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE HAD RECORD AT THIS POINT
