David turned his gaze towards the captain in curiosity when she told her story. Or rather, a heavily abridged version of it. Odd, she's withholding information from us. I think I'll avoid prying deeper into it though, too many things that could go wrong if I do." Since he didn't feel like having small talk with the others, David decided to spend the rest of his time on the ship examining things further. After all, it was highly unlikely they would be attacked by actual pirates, and even more so that they would be assaulted by denizens of the sea.
Imagine his dull surprise when a few hours later, he saw a scaled form underneath the waves. The entire ship then lurched forward after this discovery, causing David to fall sideways and hit his arm. Thankfully, the landing only brought a light and dull pain that David could handle. David quickly rolled unto his back, and from there carefully stood back up. He didn't want to get knocked down on his ass like a fool. "Let's just say these kind of creatures were a...decent emergency food source for me and the last crew I was with. My suggestion? Aim for whatever doesn't look like scales."
David leaned against the ships edge and grabbed on with one arm. With the other, he opened his hand and clenched it shut as soon as he felt the wooden shaft of a spear appear in it. David then threw this spear into the water a few inches ahead of where he could see scales, aiming for the monsters head. Once one spear was thrown down, David would raise his hand up and repeat this process.
