[ It's a good thing that Erin isn't complaining about being cold because Reinhardt would have just given the younger man the shit off his back. As it is, he'll happily start the fire for the fish early to have a place for Erin to dry out. ]
It's a good snack to enjoy while waiting for the real meal.
[ If the fish haven't been scared away. If so, Reinhardt will scrounge for something. He won't let this young man go hungry.
And laughs brightly at the question. He knows with his silver hair and his beard and the age lines on his face, he must seem terribly old.]
Me? I'm 61. And if you wish to know, it's because I've always been so very large, even as a child. Even in the rivers and lakes, when my parents would let me swim, I was tall enough to just stand on the bottom. By the time I was around your age, I had joined a military group that wore heavy metal armor. In that armor, even the best swimmer would have drowned, so I just never learned how. Which means that once we're back in the boat, I'm counting on you to keep me from falling out while I row us the rest of the way.
