It was perhaps good fortune that she remained shifted, because there was no suppressing the gloating satisfaction in getting a rise out of Kaiden. Octopi did not purr but the sly, waspish amusement that emanated from her side of the bond made it clear she considered herself the winner of round one.
"Whatever you say," she chirped in response to Hadama's rumble, sweet as molasses all of a sudden. The attempt to make them work harder by fueling the competition fell a bit flat since the mermaid didn't care overly much about that kind of win, but it certainly didn't harm her to pretend if it kept the king off her tentacled behind. "Sorry darling, looks like we'll have to save it for later," was shot in Kaiden's direction; a last cheap shot that was simply too good to miss.
Laughing - at them or in general was hard to tell - she drifted off a bit further away, making a very personal game of only picking stones that she wouldn't mind wearing as jewelry. Whether purple or blue, the criteria was harsh and unrelenting; if that made her even slower than before, that would be really unfortunate, wouldn't it.
