Thalassa
They created the monster
As they passed over the leaves of a particularly tall tree, Thal fought the urge to dip lower and weave through the forest like a streak of shadows. She could hear wildlife rustling below, but nothing caught her eyes in the darkness. They were smart enough to recognize her as a threat, and even smarter to avoid the starlight so they might evade her notice. Not that it mattered - as she kept reminding herself: this wasn't a joyride.
Like she was trying to do the same, Flora's voice echoed into the night air, reaching her easily despite the wind currents. A huff of breath was her only response to the threat, just amused thinking about the last time someone whispered sweet nonsense in her ear during sex. She still had to let Vox know he'd been quite right about the ambiance of everything.
Twisting between the two peaks, she gave another grumble of assent, putting on a burst of speed to overtake the small boat. Acting like a glorified reptilian tour guide, Thal placed herself in front of the bow, just far enough ahead that her tail didn't snap against the hull of the ship, but close enough that Flora wouldn't lose her in the darkness. The flapping of her wings was slow and lazy, taking it easy on the new captain as she gave a gentle adjustment to their course, starboard towards the outer edge of the islands.

and then asked why I bite.
