Noe
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room, I can still make the whole place shimmer
When I walk in the room, I can still make the whole place shimmer
Noe grinned as she attacked, emboldened, for the moment, by the sight her kite made cutting across the windy skies. The moment ended too soon, however, as the girl's blow missed; a stray breeze caught Hadama's kite instead, sending it on a collision course with Noe's lionfish. It was only the quick work of mer and girl that kept the kites separated, and Noe was so intent on regaining control of her fluttering kite that she almost missed the king's next attack.
When it came, she overcorrected, yanking instinctively on her line rather than giving a gentle tug as she'd practiced, and her kite flailed haphazardly in the air for a moment, leaving Noe struggling to keep it in the air. Fortunately, another errant gust caught beneath the kite's wings, lifting it and giving the girl enough time to stabilize the fragile creation. The merking's attack may have missed, but Noe's flailing had also given him enough time to prepare for her next onslaught. She attacked more carefully this time, aiming to dip her kite beneath his and catch the broken glass on his line.

And when I meet the band, they ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
