[Benedict blinked almost comically as he realized what Marty was doing and he watched the younger man walk backwards towards the crowd around the fish. He took a hesitant step forward as if to catch up with the teen but stopped short of the full action. Observing had always been more easy for Benedict than actually getting involved. It would be easier on him if he just watched and figured out the best course of action, then performed it swiftly and without fault. In theory anyway.

In practice, he supposed it just made it look like he was shy. And when it didn't come to a job, he supposed he kind of was. Yet when it came to investigating and getting a case solved, he was as confident and cocky as the next man. This...was not a case.

Benedict started forward a minute later only to fall short again as he watched Marty walk back in his direction. He was surprised to find that half of the fishy haul was offered to him and he took it carefully from Marty as it was held out to him.]

...I suppose that makes sense. [He glanced at the skewers now in his hands.] Um. That might be an easier task without our hands full.

[Unless Benedict wanted to use some tentacles to start a fire. Of which he did not, nor did his Companion judging by the wave of discomfort that directly followed the thought.]
