There is no shame in survival
Only strength

Kaiden felt the bite of blood in their mouth and let go even as Hadama called the end of their spar. Even if the taste sent the shark's hunting instincts surging, the mer within had control. Barely. Shifting back with a shake of the head to try and clear the singing bloodlust, Kaiden nodded in a slight daze.

Thanks. The word through the bond was a little garbled as the mershark wrestled for control. But Hadama's next words fully snapped them back to themselves. What? No, I just have practice with my shift. Realizing what they were saying, Kaien stiffened and then grumbled under their breath to save face, You just need more practice.

Nibbling on their lip nervously they added, I'd still like help with weaponry sometime. If that's ok? Gods they'd been so polite during this interaction, and it made them nauseous. The amount of difficulty in it was ridiculous and Kaiden hoped that the King was grateful for their immense effort.
