Tris had grown accustomed to Shark's odd tasks now, she'd thought about refusing to help but her desire to leave combined with the allure of mermaid scales meant that she'd helped Shark every time he'd asked.

She felt pretty uncomfortable taking Monty's fan, the island is hot. Tris wished she'd been smart enough to bring a fan for herself. Instead she'd been having to flap week old newspapers at her face to keep cool. Somehow, the ship's bar was miraculously still stocked with ice and cold drinks. Cold drinks and newspapers were all Tris had to help her cope with the heat, and she was tired of it.

Tris decided to do something about the heat. Shark wasn't the only one who could fix things. The bar still had electricity, so Tris was sure she could get the air con up and running again, at least in the bar. If Monty could sit in a nice air conditioned room with a cold drink he might be much more inclined to give Shark his fan.

Monty relaxed into a big armchair in the bar.
"Ooh this is nice." The flow of air from the newly repaired air con machine gently blew across his face, much better than a fan. Tris brought Monty another drink and took the now-forgotten hand fan back to Shark. (222 words)

How does your kalon beat the heat?

Coming to the island was a wonderful opportunity to relax, but it was also unbearably warm. Well, not so much warm as outright hot. The heat, of course, wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. This island humidity was unlike anything Cherry had ever seen. Unfortunately, humidity was much harder to overcome that the normal heat. As Cherry approached the professor he took a deep breath and prepared to bluff his way through this entire conversation.
“Hello, Professor!” He waved at the professor as he approached, and the professor simply nodded and continued to fan himself. “How are you doing today?”
“Fine, thank you. And yourself?”
“Great! I was just going to ask if I could have that fan of yours? Shark needs it to repair some things.”
“Shark needs my... my fan?” the professor stammered. Was he sweating even more at the mention of Shark, or was that just Cherry’s imagination? Regardless, Cherry continued.
“Yes. And I know it’s still incredibly hot out, but I have a solution.” Reaching into his satchel, he pulled out a small folding fan. “Now, I know what you’re thinking. This is just like your current fan but less efficient because it’s not powered by anything. But that’s where your wrong. It’s fashionable,” Cherry unfolded the fan and waved it a few times, “and not to mention environmentally friendly. Help protect those whales you so dearly enjoy watching. Plus, I’m sure Shark would be so very grateful for all your help. So,” Cherry held a hand out to the professor, “what do you say?”

How does your Kalon beat the heat?

This was turning into less of a holiday, more of an episode of Taskmaster. She supposed partially it was her own fault for going to visit Shark every few days, but was it so wrong to think they could just hang out? Sit around, chat, and so on? He was the mechanic, yes, but she was just a stranded cruise goer.

It did mean the ship would be finished sooner…though she wasn't sure how she felt about that. She did quite like it her, even if she spent a lot of time running around doing other people's errands. Plus, at least this one involved the professor, and he was quite fun to talk to about books and such. She gathered the supplies she needed, and made her way to the clifftop.

His nose was buried in a book, and he didn't seem to notice as she approached. "Afternoon, Monty!" she called, and he jumped slightly. Pushing his glasses back up his nose, he waved in greeting. "Afternoon, Annie. What brings you here?"

"Business deal," she replied, taking a seat beside him. "Put forward by Shark." She noticed a pink tint appear on his face, but pretended not to notice. "He needs that little fan of yours," she continued, pointing to the device in question. "Not entirely sure why, but he asked me to come and haggle for it. I know it's been really hot lately, but I've got some things that you might be interested in."

He nodded slowly, his expression slightly unsure. "Okay then. Let's see what you've got."

"First," she said, pulling something out of her bag, "is another little hand held fan. Not the kind Shark wants, but one that could be used to replace yours. I also-" she opened the cooler box she'd brought with her, 'have some things to sweeten the deal." He leaned over, watching to see what would come out next.

"Some fruit popsicles."
"Good choice."
"Ice cubes, for eating."
"Ah, ingenious."
"A cooling gel mat - you can dab it on your face, or put it on your neck, or whatever."
"Smart invention."
"And finally, something I think you'll be very keen on; Shark's gratitude."

There was a definite blush now as he stumbled over a reply. "Why would I - I mean, why would that - um -"

She gave him a pat on the back. "It's alright Monty, no need to justify yourself for me. Just use that gratitide wisely, yeah? Maybe he'd even take you out to dinner, to make up for this inconvenience."

Cheeks flushed, he didn't respond; instead he handed her the fan, and stubbornly shoved a popsicle in his mouth to keep from talking. Chuckling quietly to herself, she slipped the fan into her bag and opened a sweet treat for herself to join him.
