In some ways, it is kinda funny—the octopus is suddenly stretched out like a spiderweb. "Gotcha!" she exclaims under her breath without really noticing, a look of immense satisfaction on her face as she juggles the two octo-sticks. She's not quite sure how to proceed from here, though. Can they just.. tickle it until it drops Hadama?
But he solves that on his own, peeling it free and letting it crash towards the water.
She's kinda looking, at the swift and graceful way he's backpedaling. Wonders briefly if he's going to disappear now, free of the octopus and maybe put off the despicable and human way of fishing, and that annoying girl on the jetty—
And she's kinda watching the octopus. The way its arms curl and uncurl around the sticks, reaching towards her, hauling its precious boot along... It's menacing.
She doesn't wanna be octo-food.
She drops the stick and steps off the other one, letting the thing fall into the sea, sticks and boot and all. She gives a small, triumphant smile, somehow surprised that Hadama is still there. "Will you though?" she finds herself teasing him. Would he really pass up on such a mystery?
Then she sees what he sees, and some of the triumph fades away. She folds her arms over her chest. "Looks unpleasant."
