[Training] what i see in the sea

You wanted this, Remi thinks he says, but doesn't. He thinks he's made plenty of accusations that make clear his intentions here, but they're all just been echoes inside of his own mind. The only thing real is the tang of blood that has misted around everything. He can't even remember whose blood it is anymore. His? His shadow's? The world's?

But now his shadow is trying to flee the cage of its own making and he absolutely isn't having it. Shark-teeth aim for the boney-hindquarters of his shadow as his wings arc forward to slap at his sides. This latter isn't meant just much as an attack, as an encouragement to get the fuck in the water with the rest of the monsters, where you belong.
