but now it is a competition of whichever is heavier:
my will, or the pull of gravity into the grave
my will, or the pull of gravity into the grave
It’s no surprise, especially given the woman is still young - prime for said adventuring - but it does make Ru’s smile quirk the slightest bit with amusement at the vehemence of the declaration. “Perhaps you should arrange for a vessel on wheels - something you can fill with ocean water, but which a person or animal can pull for you, so you may see what you want on land easier.” A question for a proficient engineer. Or the gods, whichever Chrys was more inclined towards.
But for now there are more pressing items on the docket. Like hunting poor, unsuspecting plantimals. “I can definitely show you after we acquire at least one manta,” she assures with an accommodating smile, happy to show off when given the opportunity even if it must be delayed for their hunt to succeed.
With a lazy salute that is somehow still elegant, Ru easily abides the girl’s plan, and is consumed in feathers as she shifts and streaks into the sky in one easy transformation that occurs in scarcely the blink of an eye. Climbing takes more time, even with the lazy winds circling the islands, but soon she’s at an altitude that allows her to gaze down at the manta - and the mermaid stalking it. Waiting to see if Chrys is at all successful in her attempts at stealth.
