A quick dip

A brow arched at the mention of a nibble, she doubted there was much little about it looking at those teeth he had, but she’d be lying if she tried to tell herself she wasn’t intrigued. It seemed her only interest to anyone within the Armada was as a healer, and she very much missed the more personable closeness of her home, where she had actually felt seen.

The water obscured a lot and he had been here before she had arrived, her paws itched to get a better measure of him.

She moved to get a little closer as he started his introduction, the distraction pulling a wide grin to her face. As she was about to laugh, her paw slipped on a slimy stone, pitching her face forward and into the water, blowing bubbles with her exhalation of sound. Well, that was terribly embarrassing, but there wasn’t much she could do but laugh it off, pulling her head back out of the warm water and shaking for comic effect. “Yer could’a warned me yer were gonna make me fall for yer!” She shot with mock indignation, unable to shake the self-depreciating smirk from her face. She settled herself once again, closer to his side of the pool, but still leaving about a tail length between them. “I’m Sedna, or as the Armada like ter call me, healer come quickly!” The last was added in a higher pitched voice, tinged ever so slightly with bitterness.

“Speech”
