She was upset still about having lost her first fight in her first raid. She was sure she had trained longer and harder than those Avalon wolves, but the other guy had bested her which irritated the ever-loving fuck out of her! She left the pack lands in a huff and found herself walking across the picturesque sands of the bay. Only she couldn't quite enjoy the scenery when her mind was on the fight she had. She replayed it in her mind over and over, discovering several moments where she could have done something different that might have turned the fight in her favor. The sounds of the bay went largely ignored, as she walked. Maybe she ought to ask Vidarr or Gimli or someone to train with her. She had hoped she'd find her family...hoped that Valentine would emerge somewhere, but she hadn't seen him since she was a pup. She wasn't sure whether or not to continue considering herself as a Regni, after all, the point of that name was long gone, she was sure. Considering her options, a sudden loud splashing abruptly stopped her thoughts and she looked up to find a very big fish splashing around in the shallows, dark soulless eyes and sharp gnashing teeth were the main things that she noticed as it flailed around. What in the ever-loving fuck was that!? |
It was safe to say that Delphi was following Brida. She had yet to spend much time with the blue-coated woman so when she saw her slipping from Heidinn lands, she was quick to follow. Her small paws and short legs had to move quickly to keep up with the larger wolf. Nearly out of breath, it is a long while before she sees Bride pause. They've ended up on some beach out toward the east. Delphi blinks as she also sees the large water fish thing flopping around on the beach with sharp teeth and beady eyes. Delphi rushes from the bushes she's hidden in to stop beside Brida. "Oi! What is that thing?" Delphi says excitedly as her docked tail waves behind her. "Think we can kill it and take it back?" A grin grows over her lips as she looks up to Brida.

It was safe to say, she was not expecting a follower nor did she realize the girl was following her until she surprised her. Brida nearly jumped out of her skin, turning to face her with bared teeth before she realized who it was. She forced herself to relax, though her heart still raced from the surprise. While she barely knew the child, she heard she was a headstrong and rambunctious kid. She reminded her of...well...her when she was that age. "No idea, but it looks like it's stuck. Probably an easy kill." She glanced down at Delphi, a grin starting to form as the thought of killing the big fish beast sounded like a pretty damn good idea. "Stay clear of those teeth. I don't need Vidarr taking my head if it takes your head." The last thing she wanted was for the girl to get hurt, and to piss off the Viking King. But, well, the snaggle-toothed fish looked like it might be easy to bring down if they could keep it in the shallows. She watched it flail its tail around, its head swinging from side to side as the water lapped at its body. "Keep it in the shallows. Keep away from the teeth. Wear it down. And..." She squinted against the sun as she got a better look at the flailing tail. "It can't get away without its tail," She winked at Delphi before moving forward. Sushi time! |
Delphi looks up at Brida as she grins back at the older girl. "An easy kill sounds great to me!" Her voice is eager as she looks back toward the water. The giant fish (at least to Delphi it was) flailed around like well a fish out of water. Its tail smacked at the water, head wrenching back and forth as it gasped for air? Water? Eh, whatever it was doing, it was struggling.
Her paws tap against the sand, slightly impatient as she waits for Brida to give the go-ahead. Nodding quickly, she waves off Brida. Yeah, yeah, be careful, don't piss off Vidarr. Right, right. "Okay, got it!" She practically chirps as she continues to wear down the sand beneath her paws. "Oh, good idea!" Delphi's grin widens as her eyes dart over to the tail that flips in and out of the shallows.
Once Brida charges forward, Delphi does the same. Only a few steps behind, she keeps a wide berth at first. No way she was going to let the slimy beast get her! As she watches the shark tire for a moment, she sees her opening. Darting as the shark pushes its tail against the sand and its side fins along its body, she jumps up onto the shark's side. Digging in her claws, she grabs ahold of the smaller side fin and begins pulling at it.

The two girls dive into action, and Delphi is quick to attack the fish beasts side while Brida brings up the rear. The giant fish slows its movements for a moment, and the viking woman takes the opportunity to grab its tail in her teeth and shakes it. The shark whips its tail from her mouth, the bastard was more slippery than she thought! Its tail slammed back and forth, striking Brida in the face with an audible slap as she was sent into the water. Sputtering and soaking wet now, she cries out in a furious battle cry as she quickly returns to the thrashing sea creature, leaping onto its back where she proceeded to shred the fin there before "digging" into its flesh with her claws, gripping tightly as it thrashed around in a futile attempt to throw off its attackers! |
The thrashing of the shark is too much for Delphi to hold onto. As it slaps Brida in the face, Delphi loses her purchase on its fin. Reeling backward, paws stumbling through the sand, she spits out sand and skin. At least she got a chunk taken out of it! Taking a moment to catch her breath, it is Brida's war cry that rejuvenates the young girl.
Releasing her own rippling howl into the air, Delphi leaps back at the shark. Careful to avoid its face full of teeth, she barrels into the beast with her shoulder. Trying to push it back into the surf rather than fight it, it barely budges. Instead, it continues to flail and thrash, attempting to take a chunk out of her.
Frustrated, Delphi continues to push and bite at the shark. "Lets just shove it back!" Delphi cries out to Brida who thankfully helps her achieve this. With Brida's help, they are able to push and shove and ram into the shark while trying to avoid slapping fins until the shark is in deep enough water to move further out by itself. Blood from both the shark and Delphi seep into the water.
"This will be a good story to tell the others," Delphi says breathlessly to Brida with a bright grin.
