Hadama may have been pleased to see the tide jaguar get her paws under her and settle into her skin, using her body's reflexes to their full potential, but he was given very little time to appreciate her grace and power. Before he had fully formed the words to communicate his admiration through the Bond he was distracted by an incoming attack from an unexpected quarter.
As much as he approved of his opponent fighting back, the rock that was lobbed towards him was a definite escalation on their spar. At least it was poorly aimed, and the Tidebreaker had a great deal of practice in dodging rocks thanks to his old training sessions with Melita. He simply submerged himself straight down with a flex of his tail, head disappearing under the river's surface as the stone tumbled harmlessly overhead. He resurfaced a moment later, emerald eyes gleaming brightly. Well done. You look much more comfortable now. Her movements felt much more natural, at least, and she was no longer trying to fly without wings. How do you feel?
