Fine. Should introduce myself, at least.
[ He agrees testily, standing from his crouch and kicking off his shoes so he doesn't ruin them when he wades in. Can this kid manage to take off with his shoes for a second while he goes and says hi to the river? He sure hopes so. With a deep breath he takes a few steps in, about up to his knees. He fishes around in his pockets for a few yen coins to offer, inspecting them for the right values.
