Thalassa
Hit me hard and soft
A colorful string of curses flows from her mouth, faster than the thick, muddy water that laps the side of her ship. She'd hoped the mud would stay on land, but it's made the inexplicable decision to flow into the harbor, clogging the waterways and making it difficult for ships to depart by clinging to their hulls - particularly her ship.
The crew hustles up on the deck, still trying to prepare for them to set sail despite their obvious delay, trusting that their Captain will take care of it through whatever means possible. Which isn't much right now. Even if she wasn't worried about burning her ship, her fire is as useless as the fishing nets some people try to use. It sizzles over the surface, drying some of the mud but leaving the rest stubbornly in place. And yet, she keeps trying, determined to succeed against the mud.
Fire skips across the water, seeking patches of brown that float and bob towards The Marauder. It hardens the top before another ripple of ocean spray rehydrates the mud, the blobs taunting her as they resume their efforts. Still, she continues, doing what she can to keep the mud off the side of her ship, her curses sounding almost pretty as they flow.
