She is drawn in by his intent, avid listening, and she pulls herself further out of the springs until her stomach rests on the lip of the rock to watch him bring her vision to life. So far she had been making do with the thinnest rope she could find and the throwing knives he’d given her years and years ago, but she knows it can be improved upon. Watching him take her ramblings and sort them into something cohesive sparks a warmth in her chest, pleased that he had been so attentive and had managed to pull the vision from her brain through her lips.

The vibrant color of the peppers distracts her, blue eyes flickering away from the watery blueprint to the tusk-like protrusions from his mouth. There’s only a few left, a devilish voice points out in her head. Before she can form a rebuttal - that there were still any at all - she gave in to her childish urges and propped herself further out of the water to bite the hanging remnants of the pepper outside his mouth. Pulling back just enough to smirk victoriously and chew her ill-gotten goods. “Yes, just like that.” As if nothing had happened and she was merely answering the initial question.
