'Don't flatter yourself." Eloise hummed back. "Where would I be if folks stopped respecting you?" It was rhetorical, if only because they both knew the answer.

The mention of Melita had the illusionist shrugging slightly as her fingers worked down the side of the captain's jawline. "Well, that's what being a hero will get you. I did try and warn her but she was practically dragging the Biter and his lover down the tunnel. Maybe it will teach her to look before she leaps, especially if it's Zeph telling her to do the leaping."
Closing her eyes (it wasn't as if Jack's bruised face was much to look at, at the moment), Eloise's nostrils flared silently. "Do you foresee any problems with these new canals?" Before, the mermaids had relied almost exclusively on the Ark. But now? With their options suddenly increased?
