[Training] Shoot for the moon

August evenings Bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

A warmth bloomed in Soh's chest at the mer-king's praise, but it quickly turned to dismay as the curtain of snow parted easily around Hadama. She hadn't thought about it at the time, but snow was, of course, water - and water manipulation was certainly within the range of Hadama's abilities. With a mental sigh - more resigned than anything - Soh noted the icy sphere being flung at her chest.

This time, Soh dodged easily out of the way, having learned from her previous mistakes. Still, as the icy projectile soared past her body, she felt quite stumped as to how to proceed. Hadama was in the water, and she had no desire to join him there; but all around her, there was only snow. How could she proceed?

Then she saw a rock.

And as much as she hated the idea of flinging a rock towards her opponent - who she quite liked and held in high regard - she didn't want to insult him by simply giving up. So she scooped up the rock with her paw, flinging it towards the mer-king and hoping that it was aimed towards his general vicinity. After all, aiming with furry paws was quite a bit harder than aiming with human hands!

You never know what temporal days may bring
So laugh, love, live free and sing
