I'll jump from the cliff and I'll build my wings on the way down
Henry nodded in sympathetic understanding but, unfortunately, he didn't know what else to say. Even as he racked his brain for something supportive to say, he felt his mind completely run blank as soon as that haunting, dark fin appeared above the lull of the waves.
Even if Arialla remained calm, Henry began to shift about on what part of the rock he perched. Unease clouded his judgement, that perhaps if he had just stayed still, he wouldn't draw attention to himself. Arialla might've been right, might've had a better understanding of them than he, but all Henry knew was that he was scared. The eagle's instincts had his wings flap in reaction to the fin veering dangerously close.
"I think we sh-should get out of he-e-re," His risen feathers brushed against hers as he edged closer.
And suddenly, as if out of Henry's own nightmares, another shark surfaced. Only, it wasn't from a distance, and it wasn't merely to swim past, but to make a snap for Arialla from behind. Henry jumped into the air, his wings supporting him. In a moment of crazed, stupid panic, he clawed at the nose of the shark, his heart pounding and his beak parting to let out a raucous screech, "Go! Go!"
