Nam has been vaguely aware of the comings and goings of the human for months now, though he's never really paid him any mind. He often doesn't until they start asking for things. Until such a time, he remains beneath the surface of the water, aware of the presence on the shore but taking little interest in it.

This human has been an interesting one, with his offers of fish and rice and lovely fruits while asking for nothing in return. Of course it could simply be that the human is gearing up to ask for something bordering on unreasonable from the dragon, but there's a chance that it really is just a selfless offering. Still, Nam doesn't make his presence known to the human, he just accepts the food long after the human has left each time. Revealing that there's actually a dragon here and that it's more than just local lore and folktales could ruin what's been happening here. Learning that there's actually something to the stories could make this human just like all the rest, it could make them just as greedy as the people who have evidence that there really is something in the water.

Finally, though, it's time for the human to earn the dragon's full attention. The moment the human's foot breaks the surface of the water, Nam starts to watch him, waiting to see what he chooses to do with his time in the river. Much to Nam's disappointment, however, he chooses poorly. He should know better than to think that humans can leave well enough alone.

Shifting back into his human form, Nam slips out of the water further upstream to keep himself from being immediately spotted, even if the water dripping from him is probably rather telling. He makes his way back to the human, hoping to make it before he manages to catch anything. Not that Nam won't simply tell him to throw it back if he already has.

"Remove yourself and your net from the river."
