gonna break my rusty cage

Kai was distracted by his swim, though Percy's barking didn't go entirely unnoticed, but only when he surfaced was he made aware of her again. Well, for a moment, as he scrambled to shore and tried to vigorously shake the clinging crab from his nose. "Agh! Help me!" He grumbled, but the second he spoke up she was diving into the water herself and his cries fell on deaf ears. Fortunately the crab couldn't withstand being thrashed about for long, and eventually let go of his snout, much to his pleasure.

Just a moment later Percy surfaced, covered in seaweed and muck. Kai let out a snort of laughter at the sight of her. He was do distracted from his catch - or maybe it was the other way around? hadn't the crab caught him? - that he didn't even notice it slide back into the water until it was too late. Apparently she had found something too, but he couldn't tell what it was from this distance. "Well. Apparently me, too," Kai scoffed, though he wasn't really annoyed. He could've gone without getting wet, though. He gave his coat a good hard shake to attempt to rid it of any water that had accumulated, but he had a feeling he'd take at least a few hours to properly dry off. "But, at least you didn't drown," he offered half-heartedly, as if that might make up for her, erm, lack of success. Maybe the fish had been too big of a target, but oh well, Kai wasn't a big fan anyway.
