On the seashore facing the pier, seagulls squawk as they swirl overhead. The smell of salt fills the air, and the gentle, dull roar of the waves lapping the beach is omnipresent. A gentle breeze blows, and the chatter of the villagers fishing drifts down to the shoreline from the pier.

I ride in boats to catch fish. I catch fish in the ocean. I usually get a boat full of fish.
Indeed it is - but the breeze helps. It does, yeah. I like the pier. It's a nice respite from the perils of living in my village. Perils? Why is your village dangerous? The village itself is fine, but the forest behind the village is full of monsters. It would be a great spot for walks and hunting if not for that. Have you considered moving away? Perhaps taking a job on the sea? Thought of it, yeah. Maybe I will someday. I just hate to leave my family behind. If the monsters do not enter the village, could your family stay and you work at sea? I could use a good shipmate. It could work. The monsters do stay in the forest. We're just forbidden from going in there, and nobody ever wants to visit.  That's my boat over there - a fine craft that typically comes back full. Good money! Let me check it out. I'll wade over and see how it is. Do you fish with poles or nets? I fish with a pole. In fact, I just broke one today on a whopper! Wow! That must've been some fish.
