I get them all worked up and down on their knees, you see
The heat is dying down, but it isn't enough to keep her from the beach. Torchline remained a tropical paradise. Aidon flies ahead of her, scouting as he always does, keeping an ever watchful eye out for his bonded. He spots a thrashing in the water, trilling to get the Nightshade's attention as he banks hard, circling towards the commotion. Maeve's head snaps that direction, narrowing against the sunlight to try and get a clear picture of what was happening, looking just in time to see a merman break the surface of the water with an orca hot on his tail.
What was it with the wildlife around here lately? This made two in a week. The queen doesn't hesitate to kick off her shoes, sprinting across the sand and already unhooking her Phoenix Whip from her hip, uncoiling it with a loud crack. It's going to be hard to get close without putting herself in the water, but there wasn't much choice. The Nightshade rushes ahead, lashing out with her whip towards the orca's side, but it barely reaches. Instead the beast is merely singed by the end of the coil.

They take my fingers in their mouths like it's poetry
