take the heart you thought you had

Hana was quick to respond, leaping towards the waves without a moment's hesitation. The young boy laughed softly, his earlier confusion lost, forgotten, in the moment. She hit the waves a moment before he did, but then he was soaring after her. Wings spread, the spray from the ocean hitting their undersides.

He would have been happy to stick to shallower shores. No matter the strength in his body, he had a lot of weight to keep afloat. The wings were dead-weight in the water. Too heavy to fly him, and much too heavy to help him float.
But, Hana went further out, and he blindly followed her. His wings he tucked to his side, and his powerful strokes cut through the ocean.

He began to look about him for fish, and he saw Hana zone in on something before her. He kept close to her. Not close enough to startle her prey, but to be on hand if she ran into any trouble. He crowed with joy when she surfaced, thrashing fish in maw. She called his name, and he realised her predicament. He padded closer to her. Tail wiggling in the water behind him for a moment. Then he launched forward, and snapped his jaws about its head. Elongated fangs pierced its brain, and blood tainted the water. He pulled free of her catch and looked about them for a moment. “We should get to shore in case that attracts anything.” he suggest, swimming over to her side, paddling side by side with her. He then grabbed the other end of the fish in his maw, so that they could tow it back to land together.
