"Distraction," Trinket said with the tiniest of nods. "Distraction is a good strategy."
When they asked if she gave up, Trinket tilted her head to the side, curious. She stood in that exact pose for a long moment, considering the mershark's words. She had never considered giving up before. Usually, she simply played until she got bored.
"How do you win this game?" she asked. "Do I have to give up, or do I have to kill you? But it's not the killing game. Do I have to hurt you more? Make you bleed?" There was no malice in her tone. No emotion at all.
She glanced at where the shell had poked and prodded the mershark. Their scales were thick. She hasn't done much damage. Perhaps, she pondered, she needed a bigger weapon. Unfortunately, there were none to be found.
Still, her eyes slowly scanned the beach, searching for something that might make Kaiden bleed. The doll's eyes remained fixed on Kaiden the entire time. Unmoving. Watching. Weighing. Waiting.
