The Queen's voice floated away from the open beach and into the outskirts of the hungry jungle - where any plant foolish enough to take a snap t the Doubletake would doubtless be making its last mistake. He turned to follow that lilting clue to his co-ruler's presence, head tilted as he tried to locate her from the liquid trill of her laughter. She was too graceful and sure-footed to reveal her presence in the rustle of leaves...
Except, of course, when she wanted to rustle them. The dagger was a distraction, but Hadama treated the falling leaves seriously as he shifted out from beneath them, twisting to avoid being touched by the descending crimson foliage. He might have lost his target then, but Flora sang out once more--
With an attack that he could not evade.
"Mmmmm." The rumble that emerged from deep in his chest was a mock-serious grumble of dismay. "You did not say there would be puns involved today."
He could not be precise while he could not see her, but he used his hearing to aim a gravity spike - at basic strength - directly in front of where he thought she was headed, pulping the local vegetation to mush and perhaps splattering her with some of the sap in retaliation for her verbal assault.
