The shell broke under the blow, going limp as Trinket released it from her command.
When the water erupted over Trinket, she stood perfectly still. Her eyes closed for a moment on reflex, protecting her from the saltwater, but beyond that, she moved not a muscle. Water dripped from her hair and ran in rivulets down her skin. She registered that it was cold, but otherwise, she had no concern for the dampness. It was merely water. Water was boring.
"Why did you splash me?" she asked. Her tone bore no hint of anger or annoyance, merely curiosity. "Is that part of fighting? Water doesn't seem like a good weapon. Unless you're trying to drown me, but you would need more water for that."
The shells stopped trying to harm the mershark, while Trinket considered whether the fight was won or lot. She hadn't killed the mershark yet, but since this fight was just a game, she supposed she wasn't meant to do that.
