There was no better form of birth control than this. As the two continued to needle and threaten each other Hadama breathed deeply through his gills. He remained outwardly calm but it would be stretching the truth to the breaking point to claim that he was truly serene. Unbothered by one color or the other he gathered both yellow and green, though seeing Nysa moving slowly he did make an effort to choose more yellow ones.
Nysadeia . His mental tone held a hint of warning in its low rumble. Consider the wisdom of taunting a shark. Perhaps because she was distracted by making fun of Kaiden, her luck with the yellow stones was significantly less than it had been with the orange stones. When she found the right color they were the wrong size, and several that she picked up had flaws such that they flaked apart before she could get them in her bag.
No biting, he added to Kaiden , almost as an aside. Not while we are working. We do not want to draw the attention of Void-touched Echo Sharks. Which blood in the water would risk doing. At least the shark had managed to pick up the pace. There were plenty of green rocks in easy reach of them and they were able to make up for Nysa's desultory gathering this round. A short spurt of anger-fueled focus had soon caught them up with the octopus mer's initial lead.
Looking over, Hadama noted their two sacks looking equally heavy and he tilted his head in consideration. We will need more to protect the entire Arclight, he pointed out, appealing first to their survival. Which one of you can gather the most by the time we are done?
He selected a blue stone and a purple one, then tossed the blue to Kaiden and the purple to Nysadeia.
Round 3!
Blue and purple stones!
Please don't make Dama turn this PQ around
