[Daud has him pegged there. Not only was Poe's patience a little too fleeting for fishing, the money was far from Poe's main priority. It would be useful, especially considering the potential of the rescued egg he has hidden away, but it was only an afterthought. He glances down the shore at the fragmented and partially buried crates stranded or washed up by the waves and shakes his head, keeping an eye on the crabs that are still just posturing threateningly and making no other moves.]
Maybe, but I doubt there's much in these crates that would help feed the people waiting on fishing ships to come back with more than wet nets. It isn't that dire yet, but it's not exactly harvest season for the City of the Free Peoples, either. If the fish don't come back soon it won't just be Didymos that suffers.
[The higher their demand for food from outside sources gets, the greater the strain on those sources to provide across the board. Admittedly he doesn't know much about the economics of the cities now, but he can't imagine Krimnos is any more self-sufficient than it was before the war, and Didymos didn't seem to have a lot of farmland around it.]
But short of finding a way to lure all the fish back, I'm not really sure how to help.
