Well that was unexpected. Hadama blinked in bemusement as Melita floated on the water's surface like a seabird - one of the predatory ones, as she began to warm up. "Mm. Fists are useful for dealing with sharks," he agreed.
This new situation required some consideration as he measured the distance below and above water, and how that affected the angles of things. "To fish. Sometimes to fight. But a spear is just as good," he acknowledged, moving the trident slowly through the water as he remembered how it shifted and slid through his hands.
"The water resists swinging it sideways. Much more than the air does," he explained, swishing the tines underneath the water - but then, with a glint of mischief, shifting his grip to bring the trident up and sweep the butt end of the shaft through the air towards Melita's feet to try and knock her into the brine, unaware of her magic anklet.
