Well, this is different.
Amalia is correct in her supposition: the god is hiding beneath the water, and her delight in finding it is nearly palpable to anyone who cares to search her mind. But that delight is quickly replaced by a sense of bemusement as Ludo vanishes once again, leaving the dolphin alone.
Alone... and wearing her own set of mask and rags, as great a caricature of Ludo as it had been of Safrin at the puppet show a year before.
Deimos' laughter and the disappearance of the water from around her draws the Shield's attention back, her grin delighted and mischievous beneath the expressionless mask. She hasn't the faintest idea what Ludo has planned, but she knows better than to not play along.
Shifting back to human form, the very poorly disguised Amalia climbs onto the surface of the water. The sight of herself (?) upon the shoreline is a little bit dizzying at first, but she quickly recovers. If Ludo's goal is to remain undiscovered she can think of only one thing to do: bare feet tapping against the water, she runs a handful of steps away from her location before diving under again, hoping to distract others from Ludo and perhaps, if she's lucky, hide.
Ludo!Amalia hops onto the surface of the water, runs a little ways, and drops back under to try and hide.
