Kaiden grinned widely as they were able to protect themselves. They'd made incredible progress if they did say so themselves. From never using their magic to this was worthy of a treat. Maybe that baker with the flaky bread was still on the docks? The mershark would happily take some off of the man's hands when he wasn't looking.
Their fantasies were swiftly interrupted by Hadama's praise and Kaiden blinked owlishly at the man. Coming to themselves after a heartbeat, they dove down to place their rocks back where they had been. As they did, the mershark kept the face ducked to hide the small flush on their cheeks. Thank you. Kaiden had never been told that they had a talent for anything. The words repeated in their mind alongside a wave of wonder and gratitude. A wave that they quickly shoved away with thoughts of food, hopefully before Hadama felt it through the bond.
Still considering tuna steaks, Kaiden shrugged as they returned to the hippocampus' side, Nope. What's that? It sounded pretentious. What, did academically gifted and magical assholes go there or something? They probably didn't even offer free lunches!
