Do Your Worst

Aerndis knew she probably did deserve it and she couldn't think of a good come back so she held her tongue. Standing up she shook the awful water out of her coat. Well as much of it as she could considering she was still standing in it. Which made it all the more curious why Valen was walking right through the water. It was hot and muggy out but she could think of nicer places to go for a swim.

"A likely story. You just couldn't resist the chance to dunk an old man, could you? What is this world coming to?"

Aerndis stuck her tongue out at Valentine. "I really was hunting. As grumpy as you are old man, I am glad it was you and not an alligator or something. Speaking of which, I am getting out of this water." Aerndis scrambled toward the shore, nearly getting stuck in the silt and the goop as she slipped through the reeds. Seizing a tree root in her teeth she hauled herself back to shore and promptly shook out her coat once more.

"Just looking for a good place to bury rotten grandkids. How do you like that clump of weeds over there, eh?"

Aerndis grinned, her limbs coiling just slightly in case she needed to spring away. "It's a bit bland don't you think? How about something with a bit more color in the summer? I'm sure you can do better, Opa." She just couldn't resist trying out the nickname she and Jupiter had talked about.
