Kaiden startled at teh voice that suddenly appeared in their mind. So used to solitude, they had nearly forgotten the sensation of the telepathic bond. Recognizing Hadama, they reluctantly relaxed. They might not like the King all that much, but they at least knew that the manta wasn't likely to hurt them unprovoked. At least, the patience shown in their prior conversation hinted at that.
In the mershark's distraction however, the Aqueix further settled into the prime location that Kaiden so deeply desired, even looking as if it were about to fall asleep. Glancing down, the mer scowled angrily before whipping and glaring at Hadama, This little shit took my spot! And you distracting me just made it worse! What might have come out as an impassioned yell earlier that day was now more of an impudent tantrum. Kaiden had been arguing with the creature for the better part of an hour, and they were fed up with the whole situation.
Was it so wrong that they wanted to warm up on their favorite rock? Apparently so.
