A Burning Ferris Wheel [Malleus]

A clattering up above drew Malleus' attention upwards just in time for him to see the ricocheting rock and duck out of the way. The small stone skimmed just over the top of his head before dropping into the water beside him. He stood wedged between a wall and the water's edge so there was nowhere else for him to go. If the rock had been just a little lower in its descent he would have gotten thumped with it.
Malleus watched the ripples in the surface of the water for a second before turning his gaze upwards. He quirked a brow at his cousin and searched his face in the hopes of sussing out the boy's mood. It was hard to tell from this angle if the rock's proximity to his head had been deliberate. Considering who his mother was it was entirely possibly that it had been intentional.
His gaze returned to the water just in time to watch the last of the ripples disappear. He was unperturbed by the idea that the stone had been aimed at him; kids were kids. "Your aim," he rumbled playfully, "could use some work."
